iris The autonomous Transport


Automation is a wonderful thing, and if you want more transport options to be automated too, check out the Iris Autonomous Transport, which is like a robot cabbie that you're able to flag via a text message, and give your destination via the same method. This vehicle will obviously be using ...

A subverter four-wheel soil buggy matured by the Blind Driver Challenge aggroup from Colony Tech’s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory was the prototypal drivable container for the blind. With the neutral to accommodate the development in profession and mechanisation in transport, specializer Eric Leong has fashioned a futuristic robotic automobile for the blindfold – he calls it the IRIS. The free instrumentation container is a bonny spreading of anything semiautomatic ever made, presented the fact that the IRIS takes book messages as instruction input, and then using the GPS and another much futuristic technologies guides the lazy bumps and the visually challenged around the municipality and elsewhere. Designed with blindfold in mind, the IRIS could also be a automobile for the low-income demographic.

Foldable Speakers

Folds flat for travel. Works both ways, folded or flat.
The accordion style design creates a large resonance chamber and makes the sound richer than most other small speakers and the built in amplifier makes the unit much louder.
Connect the USB power cable (included) to standard USB port or insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) then connect the 1/8" (3.5mm) min jack to the media player or game of your choice. Turn on the speaker and let 'er rip. adjust volume directly through the media device.


The beauty of the Music Accordion Speakers is that they are compact, yet spread their wings when the need arises. Fanning out like the musical instrument, the two extendable arms maneuver to face any direction, resulting in personalized sound effects! Two suction cups at the center gives it the flexibility to latch onto surfaces and be twisted to eccentric shapes, just for fun! Needless to say it syncs with all the latest PMPs and phones.

concrete USB


Using concrete for tech products is almost unheard of, so this Memory Weights USB Stick crafted from cement comes as a pleasant surprise. I really dig the way the capacity of the USB is branded into the block. Just to add a fun twist; the weight of the block is similar to the capacity in terms of grams…so simple and elegant, yet rugged!
Want to know the capacity of your USB drive? Just look at the label. With such an easy method, we wonder why designer Shu-Chun Hsiao bothered to create a concrete version that weighs (in grams) exactly the same as the internal capacity.Still, this is an interesting idea to explore, if rather impractical. Will it ever hit retail? Well, if it does, we know it will make the perfect door prize at a seminar for the construction industry.
