20 iPods Cluster Into One, Big, Interactive Display
The neatest thing about this demo isn't that 20 iPod touches have combined to make a giant touch display; the neatest thing is that the technology can scale: More »Microsoft Research Demos Magically Touch-Less, Transparent Glass Display
Microsoft's research division is doing tours across college campuses and rather than turning them into snoozefests they're showing off a prototype straight outta Iron Man fantasies. It's a clear glass display which accepts input through voice-control, touch-less gestures, and eye-tracking. More »An Acoustic Hyperlens
This is the acoustic hyperlens developed by the Xiang Zhang research group. Think of it as a radar dish for sound waves. Put into practice, it can increase performance of ultrasound baby spotting and sonar submarine sighting by 8x. [EurekAlert]Automatic Aluminum Can Crusher Is Eco- And Battery-Friendly
It looks like a modded Roomba, but this prototype Automatic Aluminum Can Crusher will save you many forehead aches. It's BYOC (bring your own cans) with a long-lasting rechargeable battery and lotsa crunching sounds included every time you recycle. More »Self-Balancing eniCycle is Like a Segway for the Circus
Finally, a unicycle that even I could ride! Designer, Aleksander Polutnik, says it takes only minutes to learn how to ride the eniCycle, because it uses mini-gyroscopes and an embedded processor to keep you balanced. Watch it in action: More »Fresh Shots of the Nokia RX-5 Tablet Prototype
From the wilds of the Indonesianjunglemessage boards come these new shots of a mysterious Nokia tablet (or MID, or large phone) with a sliding QWERTY, labeled RX-5. More »Recycling Meets DIY With iPhone 3GS "Water Resistant Prototype"
After you drain that cool, refreshing soda and prepare to go out on that 50-mile bike ride you had planned today, don't forget to retain the bottle and protect that iPhone. [Flickr - Thanks, Chris]Sony Ericsson Kiki Concept
Mobil delivered this rendering of Kiki, a Sony Ericsson phone with a projected display and um, presumably, somewhere, a keypad. I like green. People need to make more green handsets. [Mobil via Engadget]CrunchPad Prototype Caught Taking Off Box And Baring All
This is a rumored "extremely recent" look at a CrunchPad prototype. What do we learn? First, the demo man says the tablet will be out by this year, "for sure." The other is that the video guy is a klepto. More »CD Turntables Are Possibly the Product of the (Last) Century
Pete Verrando has himself some CD turntables and, as you can see in the images, these beauties are patent pending. More »Pandora Handheld Gaming Computer Prototype Revealed
I'm sure Pandora, the DS and netbook frankenstein, will eventually reach the market. Seriously, it will. One day. At least here's a real-world prototype. Turned off. Like everyone who has been following it. [DCEMU]Conductive Plates Could Make the Microwave Obsolete
You know what I hate about waffles? They get cold too quickly. This plate concept would keep my Eggos toasty without having to hit it with the microwave—because the heating element is built-in. More »JVC 32-inch LCD Prototype's 11-pound Weight and 7mm Thickness To Be Ogled At CES
The CES countdown is nearing its end, and JVC has let loose details on its Japanese site of a prototype LCD TV that will be more waifish than even the most figure-conscious booth babe. More »The Dream iPhone Pro
Here's the new iPhone Pro, something that we don't expect at MacWorld 2009 at all. However, we do expect something like this to come at a later date. Why? Because it just makes sense. More »Macbook Air Prototype Escapes Cupertino, Gets Sold on Ebay
A Macforums member who bought an "as-is" Macbook Air from Ebay has ended up with some pretty strange fruit: It's actually an early Air prototype, bearing marks indicating it was built in May 2007, six months before the Air was introduced. It's got a few giveaways: the microphone positioning near the webcam is off, there's no keyboard lighting, no "MacBook Air" legend, it runs an interim build of OS X 10.5 and the bottom is black-colored aluminum, versus the usual shiny silver. Lord knows how this baby escaped Cupertino's clutches, but escape it did. Does this make it valuable like a prototype stamp to a philatelist? Only another Ebay sale will tell. [Macrumors]At Gizmodo Gallery: Ancient Apple Phone Prototypes
LED Bath Temperature Floaty 10x More Useful and Beautiful Than Rubber Ducky
This watertight, multicolor LED housing sits in a bath and changes hues according to water temperature. Simple and a lot more effective than a simple faucet mounted sensor that will not compensate for cooling off periods. But not as simple as dipping your toe into the water. If this were it, I'd probably recommend that this concept never see the light of day, but it also can be switched into a candle mode.
