Lumus PD-20: I See We’re Getting Closer

The Lumus PD-20 aren’t quite the Holy Grail of video glasses, but they are a small to mid-sized step in the proper direction. Instead of looking at the actual image source (coming from that box on the frame), wearers view a reflection from the Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) placed in direct eye view. In other…

Rocket Belt: Blogging From The Sky

“What…is…that?” “It’s a Rocket Belt, honey. I’m outa here.” “But what about your house, your family?” “Ha! Those were just a facade, a means to procure my Rocket Belt. Good-bye!” 10 Seconds Later… “Doesn’t hold much fuel?” “I don’t want to talk about it.” With great power comes great responsibility, but after you spend $250,000…

Weird Combo of the Day: Batteries & Soccer Ball

From this packaging, one could assume that Duracell sponsors some variety of soccer somewhere in the world and that nothing special is going on. OR, one could instead assume that soccer balls have required batteries all this time and that’s why we suck at all sports. Apparently there were also Duracell packs with voodoo dolls…

Hansastela: Joystick Faucet

Hansa’s Hansastela, or Joystick Faucet as it will be called until the end of time, is meant to “create an unusual and futuristic appearance” in your bathroom. Meanwhile, the use of a joystick is logical, especially for those with experience flying jets/playing Atari. Now, if we only hook this faucet up to one of these…

No One Will Walk – All Will Have Wheels (Brown County Democrat, 1900)

And you thought the Segway was a new idea! This image ran in the Brown County Democrat (De Pere, Wisconsin) newspaper on December 28, 1900. There were all kinds of predictions in 1900 of what the 20th century would bring. The “Footomobile” manufactured by the “Electric Monroe Co.” appears to be just one such idea.…

Bill Gates on Charlie Rose (1996)

Remember Interactive Television? Neither do I. I found a great 1996 Charlie Rose interview with Bill Gates. In 1996 they were already talking about the failure of interactive TV. You can cut to that part of the interview here. On a related note, while the Apple TV looks pretty cool, it’s still a ways off…

Apple TV Licked by Olivia Munn

Fans of Attack of the Show will recognize Olivia Munn and her Munness, but those of you unfamiliar with Olivia will undoubtedly have her face (if not tongue) etched into your head after you watch this clip.

Relativity Watch Confuses Everybody

“Modeled” on Einstein’s theory of relativity, this Relativity Watch actually makes the numbers move instead of the hands. This, of course, makes you dizzy if you continuously stare at it for more than 12 hours. If you’re a fan of gimmicky watches and confusing your friends, well, we can’t think of a way to better…
