Doctors have reported that they are now able to implant tiny telescopes in to human eyes. This process allows those suffering from macular degeneration to be able to have some sight restored.
An interesting part of this process is that you have the operation done as an outpatient making it very brief with results from the op being performed in the morning being seen by the evening. [Read more…]

The Cash Stash Keychain is a gadget that allows you to store cash on your keyring. The device lets you store a £20 note to be used as emergency funds when needed so that making an unnecessary trip to the cash point is not needed.
Simple but ludicrously smart, this unobtrusive little keyring-friendly doodah has been created to store emergency funds. Simply unscrew the capsule, wrap your note around its internal stainless steel CashClip and hey presto a secret stash of emergency cash. Assuming you don’t lose your keys you’ll never get caught short again.
Light Blue Optics, based near Cambridge in the UK, have created a new portable projector that uses laser as the light source. Using laser has a number of advantages over LED and bulb based projectors in that it can produce a higher quality images and also the video produced will always be in focus.
The first generation of these laser projectors have been built and these first models will be making their way to OEM’s by the end of this year which should mean we start seeing them become available first half of next year. [Read more…]
The average home in the US/UK is jam packed full of electronics. Just under my TV I have a Playstation, V+ box, External HDD, Vonage router, wireless router, cable modem and cordless phone charger. Behind the TV the wires are just crazy and although I set them up neatly, they somehow manage to tangle.
AllPlugs is a device which aims to tackle 2 problems. 1st, unless you use a bunch of power strips then you’ll probably be short of wall sockets, and secondly, you still have a bunch of wires around the living room that you really don’t want to see. AllPlugs tackles this problem by creating a skirting board system where you can attach power sockets anywhere along it. Behind the skirting it is possible to store all the excess cables providing just the correct length to get to your TV etc… [Read more…]

We just mentioned earlier today that R2-D2 always gets the attention (hence why the R2-Q5 USB Hub was created). Yet again, R2-D2 steals the spotlight again and comes to you in the shape of a tissue paper dispenser.
Although this R2-D2 paper dispenser was designed for the bathroom, it could be used anywhere in the home such as the kitchen. [Read more…]
Many business cards are boring to be honest. Most, if not all just show your name, rank and how you can be contacted. A guy named James Alliban has decided to used augmented reality to create his business cards. The cards were printed at moo.com and on the back contain a graphic which is then captured on to a computer via a webcam. When the camera picks up the little graphic a cool 3D grid of coloured planes pops up, each extruding towards the camera depending on the brightness of the pixel, and then a video can be played back with the business card owner being seen talking with a message about himself.

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. [Read more…]
R2-D2 is always one of the droids you think of when you see Star Wars. The R2-Q5 USB Hub was designed for those who want something different though.
R2-Q5 was a droid that only appears in Return of the Jedi along with a couple of Lego Star Wars games. The only real difference with this droid is that it’s painted black with red accents and simply just looks different to the usual R2 hub that you see occasionally on someone’s desk. [Read more…]
