Snowcorn is a bracelet with a camera, projector and wi-fi built in. Of course it’s a concept device as can be seen by the ultra small size and 3D renderings, but I still thought it was worth a mention here.
Snorcorn is designed to be worn around your hand and when browsing through books, maps and the likes it projects an image on to the surface of what you are looking at. [click to continue…]
InventorSpot have an interesting article up today that mentions a new camless engine that could potentially run with more power, but use less fuel. The normal internal combustion engine runs at about 25%-30% in efficiency at the flywheel. Once that power reaches the wheels an estimated 10% more is lost too.
A company in Sweden believe that by removing the camshaft the engine will free up some wasted energy making it more efficient and more powerful. [click to continue…]
With the China News reporting recently that the Apple Tablet is coming out soon a few people have been drawing up their ideas of what it may look like. This particular design was created by nDevilTV over on Flickr and looks fantastic.

German scientists claim that they have designed and created some batteries that weigh less then one gram, measure under 1mm in thickness and can be printed out. Not only can they do this now, but they claim that the batteries will be ready for commercial scale by the end of this year.
The aim of the research team is to get to a level where each battery can be printed for 9 cents or less. [click to continue…]
The Nike Hindsight is a concept which aims to give cyclists a wider field of view for safety reasons. By using curved Fresnel lenses on each side of the glasses it helps squeeze another 25 degrees of vision in to each eye giving the wearer an extra 50 degrees of vision. [click to continue…]
The Light Lane is a cool idea where a laser is used to project a bike lane on to the road around a bike. The idea here is that the bright lit laser created lane will allow drivers to more clearly see the bike rider and hence, lower the risk of the rider being on the road. [click to continue…]
The Orange tent is a concept idea which aims to be the “Tent of the Future”. It was designed by Orange and is covered with fabric solar panels allowing you to make sure your essential gadgets can always be kept charged. [click to continue…]
This concept idea is named the Outlet Wall. The Outlet Wall prevents the need of hiding cables behind your TV and instead allows you to hang them anywhere on the wall so that the “cords look pleasing”. [click to continue…]
A few months ago, Apple filed a new patent which was referred to as an Activity Sensor. It’s kind of like an extreme sports version of the Nike+ iPod sport kit that you can currently buy. The Activity Sensor is used to measure factors while skiing, snow boarding or mountain biking which include air time, speed and power/energy absorbed while performing these activities.
The 41 page patent gives full details and explains that when someone claims that they achieved “big air” that right now they can only claim it. The Activity Sensor will actually be able to quantify what they exactly achieved so they can use the personal data to set their own records to try and beat. The data could also be shared with friends too. [click to continue…]
Telecoms company NTT have created a few prototype accessories for mobile phones of the future. The accessories include a large color flexible screen, a blood testing kit and a flute attachment. You could say that it’s a rather odd combination! [click to continue…]
If Netbooks are not your thing due to them not being small enough for a pocket and a little awkward to work with then maybe this MID (Mobile Internet Device) could be the thing for you. [click to continue…]
We have seen rumours floating around about the Mac Tablet before at Gadget Venue. However, nobody really mentions the usage it would get if made available except for the obvious web browsing, music and video type applications. What else could the tablet be used for? Software Advice think it will fit perfect in to the medical industry and allow Dr’s to grab records with it while with a patient. [click to continue…]
Another mock up of the iPhone has surfaced recently. This time it shows a phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard which is something that a number of people are asking for. [click to continue…]
A concept device has been created which will allow the police to wear a small camera on their head to record both video and audio of what the office see’s throughout their day.
The Taser Axon is head mounted and wraps around the back of the head like some headphones do. There are not too many details other then what we mention here at the moment but should these cameras make it to the police force it could help prosecutions go better rather then getting a his word against my word type scenario.
