Talking Paper

The talking paper is a new idea which allows you to encode about 10 seconds of audio on to a piece of paper. To listen to the message you need to get a mobile phone which has barcode capabilities or use a hand-held scanner. Once scanned the message is played back. Eight kilobytes are stored on the paper. This would be great for storing product descriptions so consumers can quickly grab details of what something is about.

Silver Spoon Cadillac

This Cadillac was decorated with 5000 silver spoons. Cleaning must be a problem as he would need to polish each and every spoon which would take a serious amount of time.

Edit:
OK… Thanks to Brian’s comment below (and a read of the licence plate) you can in fact see that it’s Uri Geller. That would explain why all the spoons are bent.

Bluetooth Bone Conducting Headset

Sound Leaf is a wireless (BlueTooth) bone conducting headset which shakes the voice message out through your bones. It costs $115 and is bone conducting so that it does not require it to be attached to your ear. It runs on two AAA batteries which power the device for about 15 hours. It weighs just 45g which isn’t too heavy at all.

You may be asking why you need a bone conducting BlueTooth headset. Well, luckily there are a number of good reasons for this Just a quick run-down first on how bone conduction works. When the device is pressed against your temple and cheek it vibrates the cranium by an electromechanical transducer (converts electrical signals in to vibrations). This vibrates against the cranium in which the internal ear picks up the noise. This allows you to still hear the voice in loud environments such as a building site. With the bone conductor not needing your actual ear to play the noise to it allows hearing protection to be worn.

More details of the Sound Leaf Wireless can be found here and here.

USB Hard Drive with touch screen PIN security

Data encryption is key these days with the amount of fraud that is around. When data is lost, bad things happen. To help protect your data a new USB hard drive enclosure has been created. It has a built in touch screen which features a pin security system to protect the data. When not in use or not needed, you just tap the screen and the “one-touch lock” activates. It measures 79.5 x 129.7 x 23 mm and runs on Win2K and higher as well as Mac OS 9.2 and higher. It is named the ezSECU ez850. Unfortunately it is not clear as to if this enclosure encrypts data or merely just password protects the drive when it is in the enclosure. I would hope to see encryption.
