Project a touchscreen!

Bookmark and Share
Light Blue Optics has a new sexy product that is able to project a small touchable screen onto any surface and allows user interactivity with the projected image.





Branded as the Light Touch, it is capable of projecting a 10.1 inch screen and the projected image is also a virtual touchscreen.

This product is vaguely similar to the I.Tech Virtual Keyboard but instead of just projecting a virtual keyboard, this Light Touch projects the entire screen instead.

See the video demo at CES 2010

Converse shoes shanzhai’d and re-invented

Original Article Source :Freaky Friday: Converse shoes shanzhai’d and then some:
shanzaishoe3

Gotta love shanzhai innovation!



Marquis Mills Converse, who was previously a respected manager at a footwear manufacturing firm, opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908. The company's main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced. What he couldn’t have imagined then was that one day more than 80 years later his shoe designs would be so iconic that they would get the shanzai treatment.


Shanzhai : meaning cheap knockoff from China, imitating some popular brands without infringing copyrights and patents... 

Gotta respect the fact that the Shanzhai manufacturers are getting more innovative.

eg, Adidas is aptly named Abibas for Shanzhai sportswear.

Thumbthing gadget for reading paperback books!

Bookmark and Share
I am an avid reader of the conventional "pulp paper" fiction. (i.e. I like to hold a novel in my hand and flip the pages until I finish reading.)
The gadget below is very useful for conventional readers like myself whom doesn't like the idea of an e-reader.


Thumbthing Uthful for Readerth: "



Known as the "Thumbthing", it only costs $4. My bet is that, it should cost more than zero cents to recycle some recyclable plastics to do the same job
