SMELLIT bring out the smells from your movie
With all the advances in technology injected into our multimedia systems, there have been enough hypnotizing improvements in the way we see and hear stuff during movies. Here’s something that can bring to life the sense of smell during a movie. Say ‘hello’ to SMELLIT. This printer-like device has 118 cartridges, each with a different smell. When you play a DVD in your ROM, SMELLIT just a few seconds before the current play time and activate a cartridge, whose smell matches the scene that is approaching. For example, if the scene is that of a bomb blast then SMELLIT will probably give out smells of dust, gun powder and probably sweat.
Bluetooth Shoe can get you stalked on Facebook
Facebook has been brutal enough to tempt users to make public, what’s on their mind. Now they take a step forward with the help of shoes like these that can give away your exact location. The concept is quite simple. The shoes, called Blue GPS, trace the wearer and inform friends and family about the whereabouts. The user has to input about five phone numbers into his phone and presses a button on the shoe to activate a link that makes him/her traceable. The shoes can be paired with most of the Bluetooth enabled phones available in the market. Bringing out the finer aspect of this technology, we can see the significance of these shoes boosting the usability of social networks, thus proving to be life savers sometimes. Besides Facebook, the Blue GPS shoes can also be traced using other such sites.
Animated T-Rex skeleton is almost real
If scarecrows don’t do the trick of scaring creatures away from your farm then you have a real troubleshooter here. Say “Grrr” to this cool animate tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. It doesn’t just stand there doing nothing; instead it is capable of moving its head in an almost-realistic style. The roars are rather threatening and give you that typical Jurassic Park feeling of this giant beast breathing down your neck. The skeleton is 13 feet tall and 25 feel long. So make sure that you have a farm that can accommodate it in the first place. All rest is assured.
Philips AVENT’s baby monitors
The multiple features offered by the baby monitors can make it a sure hit among over concerned parents who can afford to own it. The monitor was unveiled at ABC Kids Expo 2008 in Las Vegas, USA. It guarantees zero interference with other household devices and can project videos from a single source. Now you can see what your little one is up to even if you are in another room with both hands busy. They also provide with a cool talk back feature that provides continuous connection between bass and parent unit. Another interesting feature is the climate control module that helps parents to monitor and control the temperature in the baby’s room.
FM Tap Radio: Taking the radio for a bath
Music lovers do all they can, in their little cribs, to make things cozy and comfortable around them. This includes pulling in music players and radios into their bathrooms and toilets. This may cause embarrassment but the sheer joy of hearing soft music while in the bath is too much of a sacrifice. The FM Tap Radio is one such radio that fits in perfectly into the bathroom without causing suspicion among visiting guests of its presence. The concept is rather simple. The radio is shaped like a faucet and can be turned on or off by turning the handle left or right. Controls like volume and station selection can also be toggled in the similar manner.
Star Wars R2-D2 Pepper Mill
This five inch tall R2-D2 does his job rather well and also appears to bring about some change to the way people see things that appear from the extraterrestrial world that television portrays before us. Not all of them are meant for blowing off alien heads or for teleporting one another from one planet to another. Some of them can even make our breakfast taste better. If this doesn’t make sense to your puny cranium then have a dig at this. It’s a pepper mill that’s shaped like the Star Wars R2-D2. Of course, the idea is Japanese, just like all the other Star Wars products that have been floating around our shelves. This one may be a bit more useful as compared to the rest though.
El ranchero: Elegance in a bicycle
The idea of owning a bicycle is mingled with the romance of taking that early morning ride down the streets before the traffic and pollution takes over. This conceptual bike by Gary Fisher brings about that feeling of breathing in the morning air to life. It has provisions to carry your groceries home without needing to put up a balancing act. The bags are large and are present on either side of the rear tire. To carry your tiny tot around town for those delicious rides, the bike provides with an additional saddle at the back. The stand is pretty strong and gives the bike a majestic look as well. There’s another little bag that’s present on the handle to carry smaller items like documents, newspapers and everything that can be accommodated into an average handbag.
iHome’s iH41Alarm Clock radio for iPods
