Transparent Keyboard and Mouse

Multi-Touch keyboards and mice are the next generation in computer peripherals. These elegant well made devices are composed of quality tempered glass, a solid metal base, and the finest components. They are designed using simple existing technology and have no moving parts. They have rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries and are completely wireless. The tactile sounds and lighting can be turned on or off per the users' preference plus they are coffee and doughnut resistant.

 






The design is based on a touch screen technology known as FTIR or Frustrated Total Internal Reflection. There are basically infrared LEDs placed at the edge of the glass. In this case, they are hidden inside holes where the glass is mounted to the metal base. Because of the low angle at which the light impacts the internal glass surface, it is bounced around inside the glass, much like looking through a tube to see the reflections on the inside walls. When the glass is touched it frustrates the reflection and the IR light is diffused downward, out of the glass, allowing the camera to see it. Software then determines the location and sends the appropriate information to your computer.

It's a cool design!! I want to get this keyboard and mouse. But I think I am used to normal keyboard, so its feeling bad when I am typing.
And I concerned about fingerprints. It seems that these are put my fingerprints on and get dirty soon. These will be sold in April 2012.  If you want these, how about buying?

HexBright

I am offering pre-orders for two unique and powerful lights, the HexBright Prime for $35 and the HexBright Flex for $60. Both models are virtually identical looking with an ergonomic, very comfortable grip and use the best available LED light source. The Prime has a max light output of 350 lumens and the Flex has a max light output of 500 lumens. For reference, a good quality $30 brand-name flashlight puts out 100 lumens of light. The major difference between the Prime and Flex models is the HexBright Flex is USB rechargeable and USB programmable. If you want, you can re-write the default code and tweak the HexBright Flex however you desire.

This is a new flashlight.
This is programmable, changing color and brilliant, so it's interesting!! I want to buy and customize.

Business Cards

Hydro74 wanted to do something different and something that would make a good impact to the client. So he made new business card whose shape is coin. He is planning on running different designs for each season and making it where it's something that friends and clients get excited about.

It's cool design! But I think this is heavier than paper business card. So I don't want to bring many many coin type business card...

Hive

When you are changing batteries in your remote control, one of the primary concerns is to make sure that they don’t roll off the table and fall down.Hive’s unique shape that is hexagon make them roll-safe and save a lot on packaging and shelf space.

This is a fresh and interesting idea. But I think it is possible that this can't be used for existing products, so it needs to be improve compatibility.

The USB Big Mouse

We are not sure why you would want a computer mouse which is actually bigger than your hand, but anyway the guys over at Brando obviously think there is a need for one, so they have launched the USB Big Mouse.The USB Big Mouse measures 175mm long by 10-5mm wide by 55mm tall, and it features some built in flashing LED lights, as you can see from the photos below it is rather large.Should you want the USB Big Mouse, it is available for $20 from Brando.

This mouse is so big!! I was surprised. But, I don't think I wanna get it... Who do people use it? I think that if you are interested about it, it may be nice to buy it.

SMELLIT

SMELLIT send you smell in time with the scene in a game and a movie. SMELLIT can make you drool, like when you see that Chef taking a hot and crispy pizza from the oven. Or make you turn your head and wish you can take that "putrefaction" cartridge out of the smell board.

SMELLIT works just like your printer, but instead of ink cartridges, it works with smell cartridges. As your DVD player reads the video and sound information from your favorite DVD disc, SMELLIT processes the same DVD, but the ”smell CARD” decodes all the smell information from 10 to 20 seconds* ahead of the actual scene so the odors have time to reach the spectators. After decoding the smell information, the cartridge vaporizes a very small amount off concentrated “smell gel”, and the central fan distributes equally the smell in all directions. It can be loaded with 118 cartridges, each one with a different concentrated “smell gel”. All the cartridges can be easily changed and last 3 times more than a regular ink cartridge.

This invention is very interesting!! Certainly, games and movies may be more interesting or exciting by it. But I'm concerned about bad smell. I think that in some cases, bad smell must be sent as some scenes, maybe. By any chance, isn't bad smell let off? I think that anyway, some kind of countermeasure is necessity.
