3D movies seem to be the big thing these days, and we wonder when will the novelty wear off - or will it? We assume when 3D viewing becomes mainstream in homes, then there might just be a market for biodegradable 3D glasses since these could easily get misplaced or lost in a home with kids, and you won't have to feel too bad knowing that it isn't going to pollute the environment in any way. Unlike current 3D glasses that are made using petroleum-based plastic, these new models will be made with plastic derived from plant materials. According to Cereplast and Oculus3D, they will distribute their glasses this summer. ...
Does your pooch love swimming? Don’t take his swimming abilities for granted, as even dogs have a limited amount of energy, not to mention that you don’t really know what other kind of nasty creatures are lurking underwater that might just bite or sting your dog halfway when he is having a boatload of fun. The Canine Swim Safe flotation device features lateral stabilization, preventing dangerous rollover in smaller breeds and allaying fears in water-timid dogs. It is the perfect tool for boating, swimming and hydrotherapy, made out of durable ripstop nylon with Ethafoam insert, hook-and-loop closures and lift handles. The Canine Swim Safe will retail for $89.95 which isn’t too much to ask for some peace of mind, eh?...
Sir Isaac Newton will definitely look upon the Anti-Gravity Platform of today in amazement – after all, how can a £89.99 device keep things levitating on top of it? There is nothing quite like seeing a rotating Levitating globe right smack in the middle of your desk, and amazingly enough it doesn’t require any nefarious knowledge of the dark arts – all it uses would be a bunch of powerful magnets that will mimic the effects of anti-gravity, hence resulting in a slowly rotating globe located above its mirrored, LED-equipped base. It can also float other items as long as they are no heavier than 85 grams. Looks like a neat way to propose to your girlfriend with this, having a ring floating in mid-air, eh? ...
Don’t think that the keyboard and mouse offer you enough control over your computer? Short of using your forehead, your feet are the most obvious choice to show your computer who the boss is (no, we’re not suggesting you kick it). The USB UMA-FS1 pedal, and UMA-FS3 pedal offers an additional foot pedal, and three pedals respectively. Each pedal can be programmed to send different commands to your computer, so you can make full use of your feet (which normally aren’t doing anything anyways). This accessory might be especially useful for gamers. What do you think?...
Ever wonder what your pet has been up to the entire day when you are not around? Instead of monitoring them from a CCTV remotely, why not get them the Pet Vision camera? Meant to help disabled folks keep an eye on their pets initially, we're pretty sure pet lovers everywhere won't mind getting this for their furry friends either. Of course, this is still concept at point of publishing, but if you want the real deal, it has been around for some time already in the form of the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. ...
It’s been a very long time since I’ve filled up water balloons, but I definitely haven’t forgotten the many times they’ve busted while still attached to the hose or faucet.
