Flexible OLED Passport

June 22nd, 2009 | Author:

Fast payday loans For Every One

This e-passport comes from Samsung and turns a small flexible OLED screen into a rotating image of the passport owner. This one has a 2 inch 240×320 AMOLED screen with 260k colors and when inserted into the reader it activates the rotating image.

This is straight out of one of my favorite movies, Minority Report.

June 22nd, 2009 | Author:

Maybe this will be the next guy the Microsoft hires since the Wiimote guy just got snatched up. This gun was apparently built using a cheap Gyration Air Mouse from Walmart, medium sized LCD, and some motion sensing.

17” IPhone Screen

June 14th, 2009 | Author:

So you want a larger screen on your IPhone? How about 17”?

That is exactly what this guy did. He put his IPhone on a full size monitor. Touch screen and all.

At this point it isn’t clear whether or not this is an impressive hack or just a hoax. We will know soon enough, however, reports indicate that the Mach kernel is bootable on Intel hardware, and some monitors are reported to be able to support the output.

Military Robot Snake

June 9th, 2009 | Author:

Below are a couple videos of the Military Robot Snake. The image above is from the second video below. While the audio is from the Israeli Defense Force you get the idea.

Basically it is a silent robotic beast that can be wired with explosives, reconnaissance cameras and microphones, and moves just like a snake. Imagine swapping out the camouflage material for latex material that looks like a snake from the region in which you are patrolling.

Japanese Humanoid Robot CB2

June 8th, 2009 | Author:

Now two years old, this crazy little humanoid robot comes to us out of Japan. It seems to react to touch with facial expressions and movements of the body.

It is basically a robotic body comprised of 197 sensors, eye cameras, high-end processor, and has 51 “muscles” that use compressed air for movement, all this covered in a rubbery latex type suit. Standing about the height of an average 7 year old it interacts with, and learns from, humans.

It was not programmed to walk but has learned from the people around it. The CB2 has also learned to recognize facial expressions. Learned??? Scary…
