_Agent – Worlds Smartest Watch

 

Smart watches have been around for quite some time already, but so far all have suffered the same design flaws and limitations. Battery life. If you wanted more Apps, your battery life would suffer. Inversely, if you wanted more battery life, the watch just wasn’t as COOL. The Agent smartwatch ambitiously tackles this issue, and has recently launched on crowdfunding site Kickstarter hoping to take things into the production stages. I don’t know about you, but we’re about ready for some new wrist candy.

_Portable Sound Camera Ready to Roll Out!

 

This is the SeeSV-S205, but is more popularly known as the ‘portable sound camera’. This camera is made to visualize noises as well as their intensity. It’s current purpose is to find automotive issues by locating troubling sounds without having to get your hands dirty under the hood. We could see this kind of technology being put to great use in the audio-world as well, hint-hint. After a long wait, and development, it’s finally market ready!

_Button TrackR Finds Your Stuff

A project still in development, this tracking device and app works much like a game of ‘Hot/Cold’ to find where you last put your glasses case. Another impressive concept is the crowd sourced tracking mechanism. If someone else with the app is near your device, you will be updated with it’s new GPS information. That means you’ll be helping someone else find their lost belongings just by standing nearby!

_The Seaboard – A New Set Of Keys

This right here is the Seaboard – invented as part of the 2013 Guthman Musical Instrument Competition. This note bending electronic piano gives pianists everywhere the chance to do something their Steinway never did. Instead of a clumsy dial on the left side, your fingers are free to modulate right on each and every key. We know it’s only May, but is it ever too early to make a Christmas list?

_Hovertrax – it’s like a Segway?

This here is the ‘Hovertrax’! The prototype, anyway. Inventist aims to design a new way to travel with the light weight electric board. They boast that there is zero learning curve, and the auto balance system will catch any rider from a fall. There’s just something bizarre about watching someone lean forward and  zoom off into the distance.

_Enders Game – The Movie

 

Book to movie adaptations are often bitter sweet, with diehard fans roving into theaters only to leave complaining about what has changed. That doesn’t mean we aren’t still excited for this one! We’ve already heard about a few of the changes (one of them, quite big), but that won’t dissuade us. What are we most excited to see? Anti-Gravity training.

_Apocalypse Straw

This is the NDuR Survival Straw! In an apocalypse obsessed world, there’s no shortage of survival gear floating around, but this is useful for more than ‘just in case the Zombies rise’. This straw filters micro organisms, toxins, bacteria, as well as viruses from your drinking water, so you won’t need to worry about catching a nasty bug when you stop to rest by an inviting stream after a long hike. Our question is, does this mean you CAN drink the water in Mexico?

_Arrested for… Science?

 

This is the sweet, innocent smiling face of a Felon! That is, according to the Polk County school district. A seemingly innocuous experiment caused a small (but loud) chemical reaction, but what Kiera Wilmot especially never anticipated, was that she would be leaving her school in handcuffs. Should punishment of an inquisitive mind be the example we set for future generations?

_Tech – Google Glass Tutorial Video

 

“Project Glass”  recently released a tutorial video for the heavily anticipated Google Glass, and it STILL looks like something from sci-fi. Can you imagine that this will be the norm for the next generation? Just over a decade ago, cellphones were uncommon (and still predominantly  used for phone calls). People were skeptical when an ‘ipod phone’ was about to come out. Now the google glass is poised to shape the immediate future.

_Photon: Scan Your Broken Things – Print a New One

 

Finally! Up until this bad-boy comes out, you’d probably have to go somewhere to have an object 3D scanned. It was that, or measure it yourself (unless you had about 10 grand to burn). This 3D scanner is made for the average consumer who just wants to virtually teleport their favorite things all around the world.
