NeoKeys Builds Smart Keypad that Adapts to Every Function

The idea behind Neokeys’ smart keypad is pretty simple. Put tiny LCD screens above a phone’s middle 12 keys and sandwich them in between two outer columns that list options and menus. So each time you choose a particular function, like texting, the middle 12 keys will display commands for that function only. Theoretically it…

10 Gadgets We Should Have in 2007

We were promised things—great things. Things of an extraordinary nature that seemed just within our grasp. And then we never received them… So we assembled a list of 10 technologies that we should have ironed out by now, but instead either never showed up, or were only completed in some half-assed, UMPC way. This gallery…

Figla Robot: Super Roomba

You could call the Figla cleaning robot a pumped up Roomba, but it might suck you into oblivion…in a bad way. Guided by a combination of infrared, gyroscope, camera and ultrasonic sensors, the Figla cleaner can apparently navigate sidewalks with relative ease, picking up trash along the way. The robot can operate for up to…

Royal Whale Bath: Indulge the Senses in Whale

Mmmm. Nothing relaxes me like the thought of swishing around in the warm, bubbling waters of a whale’s inner cavities. Now, I can finally indulge the fantasy. The Royal Whale Bath is the ultimate in luxury bathdom. Probably Definitely created from the carcass of a real sperm whale that was brutally murdered, miniaturized and cast…

Wii: Hold On Tight! 2 – Worldwide Debut

Remember the Nintendo Wii video we posted a few months back? We were impressed by its clever, Pixarish animation and funny, minimal writing. Lucky for us, the animation studio Super78 kept us in mind for their sequel, which is in its worldwide Internet debut (cough, YouTube embedded, cough) right here. Now for a little background…

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…

Home Joule: New Ambient Device Checks Your Power Usage

NYC’s power grid is always flexing under varying loads and prices. What’s insane is that no one’s tried to game that data to live green while saving a few bucks.

Relativity Watch Confuses Everybody
