Get ready to do wonders with colour. Here is a digital brush with a natural palette! Yes with this you can pick the colour of your hair to make your digital paintings realistic. Or even the pattern of your tie to turn the background very artistic. But how?
I/O brush is the wonder boy. You can use the brush to pick up textures, colours and patterns from anything and then paint it onto a digital canvas. So how does it work?
The inside of brush has a camera, lights, touch sensitive optic strands. When the brush comes in contact with a surface, the optic strands sense it and lights up the bulb. Once the frame is clear the camera takes a snapshot and stores it in an internal memory. And you can retrieve it onto the digital canvas whenever you are ready to paint.
The I/O brush is now in its conceptual phase. Surely the artists of tomorrow can make real use of it.
This is indeed funny. Are you often perplexed about what your dog wants? Some brilliant dog lovers have come up with a gadget to solve this problem. Read on for more on it.
The LED Tail communicator, as the creators call it, tells you what your dog is trying to say. The Tail Communicator measures a dog’s WPM, or wags per minute, and translates that enthusiasm into a message a string of words that hover in the air like one of those LED-arm clocks.
This tail communicator is designed by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau as part of the designers’ Augmented Animals project. And presently it is in concept phase and is being displayed at Modern Museum of Art in NYC for the Elastic Mind exhibition.
Ultimate madness! May be the creators wanted everybody to feel the same. The ball shaped toy lets you know the goofy expression while you are struggling to catch it. If you found it interesting read on.
Named as TosPom, this gadget toy clicks your snap when you are playing with it. Throw it to the other player and the ball-shaped camera captures pictures of the catcher along with his goofy expressions. The in-built display allows you to view the picture taken.
You can continue taking pictures of each other as you keep tossing the ball. I will call this nothing but the height of madness. Surely the cartoonic expression of your face cant be captured otherwise.
Yes! It is very much possible. A few scientists in UK have thought out of the box to change the conventional touch pad designs. What follows is the juice of the Newscientist report.
This new system reads your fingertips to see what you are touching. The system cam peeks at your fingersnsails and produces clear images. It can sense your touch and the force applied, even on a 3D surface. This is all done by evaluating the blood pressure underneath the nails as caught in images.
This technology could very well be implemented to build touch pads for the future. It is pretty simple and cheap to produce. Source…
The future of e-readers are going to be colourful and bright. The start up called FirstPaper from Media giant Hearst Corp. are pouring in money and effort to make it happen. This may be with a colour version of energy sipping e-ink in Sony reader.
Reports say that this may be based in Linux. The team is speculating that it should be offering tough competition to the market rulers, Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle and Ectaco Jetbook. Surely the price factor also has to be counted seriously.
Who will not buy it if it is as flexible as newspaper and can turn pages by touching the screen? Ofcourse the wireless capabilities has to work well too to make things really happen.

Let me guess that the working of the tattoo can be comprehended only by geniuses. These programmable tattoos are developed by scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. And they could soon be the trend setters of the future.
Cool! Isnt it? Surely this is going to be the future. 3D printing or rapid prototyping can transform a blue print on your computer to a real object. Sounds impossible? Not anymore.
This technology creates a real object by building up a succession of layers. The raw materials are bonded together by fusing it with laser or by using alternate layers of glue. Doesn’t the technology sound to be new?
Actually it dates back to mid 90s. And the futurists then even predicted that it could be a common stuff found in every home. Not yet until its price fall down to $500. Presently they find use in industry to develop parts for devices such as aircraft engines, spaceships and hearing aids.
