U.bo Robot Pet

Take a look at this special virtual pet known U.bo. I'm not sure how to pronounce the toy Taiwan Phison Electronics Company, but it can certainly do a lot.

I know that you may not be able to print from an image I was reading was significantly larger, but leave me a list of features. It has a 121 pixel LED screen that can display emotions and actions. It is a kind of “Emotion Display ahead” and a “multi-touch sensing system.

Obviously you need to keep your cookies U.bo fed in good mood. This allows the U. Bo to belch, pass gas and do everything possible that can make Furber.

He can sing and dance, and the thing has six legs that can move apparently. The matter is controlled remotely via Bluetooth, apparently by mobile phone.

As some mobile phones, has a U.bo has an accelerometer, it can detect motion. You can rotate your U.bo, and it is quite “Dizzy”. In addition, two robots U.bo combined, they can “Kiss” are.

According to my sources, it will be for sale in Taiwan and Europe for about $ 28th No word on whether it is to come to the States.

Finite Swimsense shows on your pool

This is the Finishes Swimsense monitor the performance of the wrist and is made for swimmers.

It has a kind of movement inside, and I can not believe how accurate it one.

Apparently, the Swimsense Finishes recognize how many tricks you have taken and how quickly it grew. It can even calculate how many shots you took there, and what you have done. I suppose arm responds differently when you do the breast stroke when swimming freestyle for contrast back or butterfly. It is expected that the correct information about the pool and its length as those in power.

The finite Swimsense also show you how many calories were burned after you exit the water.

Well, that makes me wonder, how can the world of Swimsense. I mean, the difference between the bars is a few subtle movements of the wrist, and yet the Swimsense can know.

I believe we are entering an era where our sensors can not feel anything! Maybe the pedometer is really as good as they are to win today.

The Swimsense Gone is scheduled for release in time for the holidays around $ 199.99.

Babel Fisk: Read what you hear

There have been many advances in the speech text in recent years. I'm sure I'll probably talk about these posts instead of typing in the coming years, provided I am not to disturb others in the room.

I am sure that the pigeons would benefit most from the speech to text technology, and this is what to do Fisk Babel.

Designed by Mads Hindhede Fisk Babel microphones built into the framework to capture the voice of a person in the line of sight, then a text-to-speech text that create projects in the interior of the lens.

You can even specify to store the text of a flash memory card for later use. You can literally everything you hear in a text file.

The name Babel Fisk is clearly a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy The. In this classic sci-fi satire, the characters have this little fish they caught the ear of fish known as Babel could be translated miraculously every spoken language. Fisk apparently means “fish” in Danish.

Of course, this has been the technology concept and I'm not sure how it would work, honestly. I mean, if you would to someone who talks a lot, you literally blinded by words?

Skitterbot creepy robot is a bug

This is the Skitterbot, and developed this six-legged toy robot to crawl on the floor with a speed of one meter per second. It is probably faster than most cockroaches.

It is powered by USB power, and it takes 30 minutes to download this for about 15 minutes worth of game. Yes, maybe it does not seem very effective, but surely you would expect, this spooky games, crawling bugs?

The Skitterbot Hexbug very similar to those we previously reported. I do not believe their eyes sparkle and come in three different colors.

I do not recommend that this Skitterbot someone terrified of bugs is? I do not know the exact name of the phobia, but if someone is afraid of making mistakes probably break Skitterbot reflexive if he or she saw him throw on the floor.

In fact, just this thing does not make me want to see touch is sure. Have you ever had a spider crawl up your wrist? That feeling of the tiny paws on your skin is only my Heebee-Jeebee.

However, if you crawl this order scary, then you should be able to get Skitterbot at Toys “R” Us and Radio Shack for about $ 19.99.

One way to bring a typewriter USB to your desktop

I do not know about you, but I guess that's what our computers would be like today if some technologies not the way they have developed.

There is also a very complex project that you do at home. Granted, it takes a lot of technical know-how to weld together the essential components, and others are likely to buy.

You can check my source if you want to try your luck. It is somehow not tech in my league.

However, since the idea of a computer with a keyboard-type like an old typewriter. I think we have since abandoned the typewriter for a reason, but we removed a certain aesthetic that has now been replaced by clicking the cold and practical soft-keys.

This unit is reminded here of the computer / typewriter seen me the futuristic offices of Brazil in the film. Yes, it was much of this film is a rather dark, but I liked how some of the technology is a kind of vintage look to it was.

In other words, I wish I had one of these on my desk, and would not mind surfing the Internet with it.
