The market for home and small business 3D printers has grown
tremendously in the last few years and their prices have come down as
low as $400 to $500. Now, two brothers with extensive backgrounds in
engineering and plastics extruding, Carl and Brian Douglass, have
created improvements for these printers: printheads that will empower
them with even greater capability. Dglass3D – D3D, for short.
Nikon is suing Sakar International Inc. over the design of the Polaroid iM1836 camera, an Android-power device that looks like a carbon copy of the Nikon 1 J1.
If you’ve walked past the toy or videogame isles in a department store recently, you might’ve seen some of the new Skylanders gaming/toy hybrids on the shelves. But what exactly are these neat little figures anyway?
When the news first leaked about Google Glass a few years ago, it
was pretty hard to imagine that such a device would turn out to be more
than an entertaining gadget. But now that Google Glass is being tested
by prospective users, medical professionals are taking the device very
seriously and, if you become a patient needing heavy-duty medical care,
you will be taking it seriously too.
The judges have selected their favorite innovations from each of the 20
participating nations shooting for the James Dyson Award, and as
brilliant as all of the finalists are, I challenged myself to pick out
the five new goodies that truly deserve the grand prize:
When Valve laid off around twenty-five employees, Founder Gabe Newell assured everyone they wouldn’t be cancelling any projects. As it turns out, one got away – a pair of augmented reality glasses. Those glasses are still being built; they’ve just blown past their Kickstarter goal in a day.
Tao Xiangli – the same inventor that built his own homemade submarine back in 2008 – just recently came forward with something even cooler: where most of us would be lucky just cobbling together a few tools; he’s constructed his own working robot entirely out of spare parts.
Tempra Technology is back, and after taking a look at this forward thinking company’s I.C. Can product many months ago, it is now time to see what’s next in the far from boring pipeline. Could there be a day when we say goodbye to traditional cooling and heating appliances altogether? Who knows, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a look.
There are a few ball shuckers on the market and they’re all ergonomic,
enabling you to throw a ball pretty darn far – sometimes too far! – for
your dog without stressing your throwing arm and shoulder too much. But
the Planet Dog Wood Chuck is not only ergonomic, it’s real eco-friendly and extremely stylish. What a cool design!
Ever notice the posture of a horseback rider? Straight back, flat
tummy…. Most folks don’t realize that horseback riding is exercise,
but sitting up straight while your body weight is shifting back and
forth and up and down requires flexing and relaxing appropriate core
muscles. The Compact Core Exerciser mimics the movements of horseback riding as well as its effects on your body.
