If you’re still planning a camping trip before the summer ends and don’t like the idea of roughing it, you might want this mattress. Yes, not only will it keep you from lying directly on all those sharp pointy rocks, but it also tosses in a set of speakers to sweeten the deal. Basically, it’s an air mattress to take camping for people who hate camping.
One of the problems with taking canned food with you on a camping trip is how to heat it. I suppose you could open the can and place it on the fire, or you could just get HotCans.
Yes, someone has actually figured out a way to heat canned food for meals on the go. As you can see by the illustration, it is as easy as 1-2-3. The user puts the can on the lid, pierces the outer jacket with the included key, and opens the can for a 12 minute waiting period.
Yes, a hot meal of vegetable chili, casserole, or franks and beans awaits you with just a simple exothermic reaction based on the technology in self-heating pads.
In case you’re not getting enough Augmented Reality with last week’s Best Buy ad, feel free to head over to A&E’s site to check out “The 5 Lives of Criss Angel MindFreak” ad campaign.
Heralded as “Print it. Play it. Mystify”, this unique ad campaign allows the user to play a game in augmented reality space, for lack of better words.
Essentially, the user prints off a special sheet, and then holds that sheet up to his or her webcam. The image that he or she will see on their display is a cube with a tiny object on it. The user must then turn the sheet in three-dimensional space so that the object follows a certain path, within a certain amount of time.
It really is kind of neat, and there is a video of it after the jump if you want a preview before you try it yourself.
Lately, my family and I have been playing a lot of RockBand, and my wife and I have been discussing whether playing RockBand can help you play a real instrument.
In the case of the OpenChord V1 guitar, the answer is yes. You can watch the video of the player in action after the jump if you don’t believe me.
It appears that the guy in the video has just attached a normal Wii to a normal guitar, but I am certain that it is much more. It also looks like playing his guitar is a bit more complicated than hitting some multi-colored frets. This guy is doing some real guitar chords here.
When I first saw that Mircosoft was endorsing a pressure sensitive keyboard, I couldn’t help but wonder why I would even need a pressure sensitive keyboard.
But leave it to Microsoft to show me that I practically can’t live without it. And this video after the jump shows exactly why I would need a keyboard that can detect 256 levels of sensitivity.
The ChefStack can make hundreds of pancakes automatically.
Well, busy perhaps. Maybe if you don’t have the time to flip them yourself and there’s hundreds of hungry guests lining up for breakfast. The Chefstack Automatic Pancake Machine can make 4-inch size pancakes from no-mess batter pouches. And it only takes about 30 seconds as the flapjacks get cooked and stacked assembly style while you’re off doing something else.
Design your own postcards with the Casio Postcard Maker
If Alton Brown was doing a show about tech, he’d call the Casio Postcard Maker a “uni-tasker,” something that only has one use and ends up spending more time taking up space than actually doing something you need. But they seem popular in Japan though, so what do we know? Let’s take a look and see what’s up.
Just because you’re taking pictures through your phone camera, doesn’t mean they can’t have an artistic flare to them. Now you can have that artistic twist added as soon as you take the picture with these various lenses. All of which have their individual effects that they add to the picture, some are a little cheesy, others are a bit more subtle. The lenses are affordable, so you might as well pick up a few of them and have fun playing with your photographs.
