The EB710 is a colour eBook reader that features a 7 inch TFT colour screen that is capable of displaying 800 x 480 pixels.

The manufacturer is believed to be NSECO who I don’t believe I have heard of before. Either way, the device looks quite interesting and certainly has a unique user interface from looking at the picture above.

As well as being able to read ebooks on the device, MP3 and video playback is possible. A USB 2.0 connector can be found on the device although there is no mention of wireless of 3G connectivity in the specifications. [Read more…]

Check out this Lego bridge launcher. The Lego Bridge launcher was built by Mahjqa Kreuger who managed to build a Lego vehicle that is capable of deploying it’s own bridge across a gap, driving over it’s own bridge and then recovering the bridge afterwards.

It’s quite amazing to see the video of it working and how all the various parts move to get the bridge to open up correctly.

The video can be seen after the break which is then followed by a couple of out takes which are quite fun to watch. [Read more…]

Over the last year or so we have seen more and more augmented reality applications that attempt to merge real and virtual worlds together. The latest augmented reality app is one that allows you to try on a watch.

The system works by printing out a paper watch with a “T” marking on it. When the 82MB application is downloaded and loaded up you simply wear the T marked paper watch and wave it in front of your webcam. You then just need to select the watch you want to virtually try on and it appears on your wrist.

The application is compatible with Windows and Mac and is available for download now over at Tissot. [Read more…]

Last week we heard that the Sony PSP2 was being planned for a launch later this year. More information has been found relating to a PSP2 and what we can expect to see in the launch (which will now happen early next year).

First off, it is now believed that the PSP2 will not be revealed at E3… instead, it will arrive at a slightly later date. It is believed that NDA’s have been signed for a few months now at certain publishers who will be developing games for the system.

On to the technical specs. We first hear that the PSP2 will have two cameras with one facing forwards and one facing back. Perhaps this will allow video calls to be made due to a rumoured 3G connection that will be built in. [Read more…]

HTC has applied for a couple of patents, both of which are related to thin film speakers and the implementation in to a smartphone.

The first is for the process of manufacturing an electret diaphragm that allows for the diaphragm in a loudspeaker to be much thinner making it possible to fit better speakers in a smart phone.

A method for manufacturing electret diaphragms is provided. First, a dielectric film is attached to a frame by an adhesive material and a fastening element grips the peripheral area of the dielectric film on the frame. Afterward, the dielectric film is subjected to a metal sputtering process to form a conductive material layer thereon. Finally, the dielectric film is subjected to a polarizing process thereby forming an electret diaphragm.

There have been a number of robot gadgets built of LEGO that have been capable of solving the Rubiks Cube. However, as far as I am aware, this is the first one that is built of LEGO but powered by a Google Android device.

The kit uses the Motorola DROID moile phone along with a LEGO Mindstorms NXT and a lot of LEGO technic pieces (mainly in yellow). [Read more…]

Minput is a device that uses a couple of optical sensors to track movement on a device such as an MP3 player. By moving the device around, various menu functions can be accessed. By using optical sensors on a device such as an MP3 player or mobile phone, it gives you the option to use the device as its own computer mouse.

e.g., a matchbook-sized media player that is essentially all screen on its front side. The device could be operated using any convenient surface, e.g., a table or palm. The use of two tracking elements enables not only conventional x/y tracking, but also rotation, providing a more expressive design space. The latter motion is calculated by taking the difference in velocities of the two sensors.
