The 13th Lab company in its Rescape technology has connected a smartphone with a rifle model, a special lens and an advanced engine. You will be able to play first-person shooter with both real and fully virtual opponents superimposed on the camera view. You can play with friends, including in team mode - all information is synchronized via the Internet.
Have you ever had pain and discomfort in the lower back from having a long time at the computer? If so, I IRON ARM was created especially for you. This is a kind of movable stand holding your laptop in any position comfortable for you. For clarity, watch the video.
The company Natural Machines from Barcelona introduced an unusual kind of 3D-printer called Foodini. This 3D printer prints not plastic items, but real food. Foodini works by analogy with other printers. Only in cartridges it does not have ink or plastic, but food ingredients, for example, dough or ketchup. First, with the help of a special application, an action program is set, and the printer is charged with the necessary ingredients. Then, layer by layer (only one “cartridge” works per unit of time), the final product is made, which is then baked to the desired condition. More details .
Lightning cable for iPhone or iPad may be needed at the most unexpected moment. Not everyone agrees to constantly carry a full-fledged complete cable, so accessories manufacturers have long been trying to fill this niche with various accessories at hand that can be a power source for a smartphone or tablet. The creators of the Popcord keychain approached this issue in an original way. Popcord is one of the smallest existing Lightning cables. At the same time, he also managed to be surprisingly comfortable, which is a rarity for such devices. Externally, the Popcord resembles an ordinary small USB flash drive, the cap of which is connected to the base with a flexible wire. In fact, this wire connects the USB connector at one end and Lightning at the other. In the connected state, it turns out a simple and cute keychain, which is easy to take along with the keys.
MicrobeScope is a very powerful microscope with a fixed focus that allows individual bacteria and other life forms to be viewed at 800 times magnification. This device is perfect for scientists to work in the laboratory, and the child at home. MicrobeScope is very easy to use, moreover, does not require any consumables. Unfortunately, there is no optical zoom control.
Arduino has never been so clear and responsive. Thanks to the integrated OLED display, the development will be much faster and easier! You can quickly see what your Arduino thinks about you. MicroView works without connecting to a computer. More in the video:
Pono Music - a new music player from the PonoMusic team and the famous musician Neil'a Young'a - Pono Music. The main difference from the players we are used to is a very high quality audio. More information about the technical features can be found in this article.
