PocketString Device

20120124025

Daily practice. That’s the No. 1 principle you need to keep in mind if you ever dream to play the guitar well.

It’s smart and lightweight, and its tiny 4 fret board would let you practice the fundamentals at any place and any time. It’s going to be available next month for less than $30.

Suitcase Symphony

20111229001

Life is music, thus we all love symphony instead of monotony. Keeping that in mind too, a Dutch designer Jeriel Bobbe has created the ‘Suitcase Symphony’ using several rearrangeable wooden panels that each features a ridged surface, to take the place of monotonous floor in airports. Assembled together, the panels will produce a particular music composition as people pulling their suitcases through on them. Even though the music created by these panels is not that fabulous as those produced by an instrument, it indeed sounds more pleasant than the monotony of airports.

Pinoky Gives Stuffed Animals Their Lives

20111223001

Stuffed animals used to be inanimate toys that can only get moved by the humans; but now they can successfully move on their own, with the aid of the Pinoky—a small, ring-like device that wirelessly brings stuffed animals to “life”. It uses a micro controller, a Zigbee input device and a servo motor system to move an animal’s hands and legs, also with a set of photo sensors designed to measure the angle at which it bends. Thus simply pin the Pinoky onto your stuffed animals, and you will then see them move and dance automatically. Really funny, huh? You can get it as a Christmas gift for your kids.
