This is the Float Table, and it combines some of the best technology from the seventies and the eighties, along with yet-to-be-invented hover technology.
As you can see, the Float Table has that brown wood look that was so prevalent in the disco decade. The rotary phone is also a nice touch. [...]
I’m sure that most of you have seen all the Fed Ex airplanes at the “Hub” in the film Cast Away. Yes, they really do need all those planes to get all of our stuff to the proper place, and FedEX CEO Fred Smith sees a better way.
His vision is simple: robot [...]
This is a project going on a the University of California, San Diego. They call it the Heads-Up Virtual Reality device, or HUVR (pronounced like the word “hover”). I call it awesome.
HUVR “couples a consumer 3D HDTV panel with a half-silvered mirror to project any graphic image onto the user’s hands [...]
Some of you might remember the Zephyr, a solar-powered UAV that can charge itself with the power of the sun. Some researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on a plane that can charge in a very unconventional method.
This would be a smaller plane, and possibly not hold a passenger. [...]
Imagine a long drive that starts from Parma, Italy and ends in China. Now imagine this drive happening without drivers.
This is exactly the project that is planned to take place. This proposed trip wouldn’t be about sending a Knight Rider type car to make the trip all by its lonesome, but [...]
What you are seeing here is a hologram, but unlike most holograms, it is not based on a real three dimensional object. What you see there was made in a computer.
This is some new technology being developed at Kansai University in Osaka, and it could easily be the next wave for holograms. [...]
As someone who is trying to lose weight, I have quickly learned how tough a fight it is going to be.
I believe the Autom robot was designed to help out the user with their diet. It is up to the user to enter in the details of their diet, such has their [...]
I think that this age of personal security demands full-body scanners, but X-rays have that whole harmful radiation thing going on.
Thruvision TS4 is able to see through your body without any radiation. It doesn’t use the X-ray vision lens that we reported on a while ago, but it scans body heat. [...]
In case you thought that the pain gun was the only real-life science fiction weapon that Raytheon was up to, then you haven’t heard about this real-life laser.
This Laser Close-In Weapon System was recently unveiled in an airshow in England, and it has recently made history as the first time a laser has [...]
I don’t think my Source for this story says that London design agency Tinker actually calls its latest creation Hopscotch Hero. Considering it is a digital representation of a game that probably involves light up areas to keep rhythm, what else would you call it?
Yeah, you might as well name it after the successful [...]
