Chariot Wearable Transporter: Part Segway, Part Cyborg

Legs just aren’t what they used to be. Human limbs used to be the driving force behind America’s booming industry, once ushering in a new age of wealth. These days, machines are slowly taking our place on the assembly line. From a businessman’s stand point, it just makes sense. Why pay four employees for a job that a single robot could do for free? The Chariot wearable transporter, created for both amputees and lazy mothers alike, allows humans to integrate... Continue reading

Personal Transportation Device Joins Skiing With Segway

After seeing some totally unsatisfactory uses of the Segway, I have built up a bad taste for the user base of the personal transport device (with the exception of this dude.) It’s time that a new device took the Segway from the top rungs of popularity and laziness. This newly designed transportation device by Sarah Park mashes together the personal transport of the Segway with a “skiing” like steering mechanism. The size of the new device is about the same...

Flying Solo: Jet Wing Gives You Wings

Unless you find yourself mutated from a radioactive leak or something, the odds of flying without the aid of technology is looking pretty slim for the human race. Using the Jet Wing is about as close as you can get to solo flight without the aid of physical mutation. Jet Wing is a personal flying apparatus which will keep you flying horizontally at 115 mph for a few minutes before pooping out. The only problem is that the engines aren’t... Continue reading

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to turn off all your embarrassing and personal pursuit on screen as soon as somebody pops up behind your back? May it be your mom, your co-workers in office or your significant other. Well, a Japanese company developed... Continue reading

2 months with the UV lamped toothbrush case

Japanese are obsessive with hygiene, so much that somebody invented the ultimate toothbrush carrying case with built-in UV lamp; supposedly it’ll kill germs. While everything sounds so much like a dream, the case is so portable, the UV lamp runs on AAA batteries. So the guys who tested it took it for a try, their conclusion this morning is that it works! Though we have no chance to verify their claim of removing “99.999% germs”, what we’re certain is that... Continue reading

Headplay’s Personal Cinema System: a 52� TV that doesn’t cost an arm and leg

Ok, so maybe a 52� TV doesn’t cost an arm and leg (but it’s close), but there is more deception than that in the title. Headplay’s Personal Cinema System isn’t actually a 52� TV; it’s actually headgear that has a screen which looks the same size as a 52� TV because it is so close to your face. This strange looking contraption can be connected to many different devices, such as a PC, iPod, Xbox 360, or DVD player. Don’t... Continue reading
