Foldable Guitar

20120131042

Because it’s not the first foldable guitar we’ve ever seen or introduced here, this one from designers Shlomi Daniel and Uri Nir must have gotten its own unique features, e.g. its tension release mechanism that promises the guitar a perfect timbre even after it is repeatedly folded and unfolded. Still, like all other foldable guitars, the instrument could be easily and conveniently carried around for a outdoor use.

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. But the real guitar is so big that it’s not suitable to be taken anywhere, for you to play with it again and again. Thus we’d like to recommend this PocketString device to you. 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.

LomoKino Adapter

20120122012

I’m sorry the LomoKino camera only lets you capture retro 35 mm movies while forgetting to offer you an easy way to share those creations, and I believe the Lomography Company feels sorry too – thus it launched a smartphone adapter that lets you digitize your flicks. Simply attach the adapter onto your smartphone, connect it to the LomoKino (with films inside), get the LomoKino to work and record the videos as they’re played, and then you can restore your retro movies on your cellphone.

Mobile Scanner

20120122007

Yes, the New York City is no more that safe as it may used to be, and thus the NYPD is looking for newer and better methods to make the city much safer, and one of their solutions is this Mobile Scanner that allows the police to spot armed passerby on the street without ever having to get out of a police van. The device is something like the full body scans used in airports, while it is much compacter and portable, also with a wide range of three to four feet. And in the future, the device may be produced with a range of up to 80 feet, which means that it can reach people on the other side of the street easily. So will this make New York safer? Let the time to tell us the answer.

Made of metallic polyester, Martin Azua’s “Basic House” is a self-inflatable shelter that can offer you a home on the trip. It’s very lightweight and mini-sized when folded, while it can inflate into a huge cube in seconds as soon as it interacts with heat from either your body or the sun. And if it’s too warm outside, you can turn the house inside out so that it could deflect the sunlight.

Tamaggo 360-imager

20120110001

With CES 2012 finally opened today, many innovative gadgets will soon spread on the internet within the following days, so have you already been ready for the CES? Let’s start with Tamaggo’s 360-imager then. It is claimed the first consumer device that can take full 360-degree panoramic images using a special “panomorph” lens, and built with an LCD viewfinder on the bottom too. The egg-shaped device can provide images with better quality, and it will shoot fully navigable images with a single click. Pity that the device cannot shoot 360-degree panoramic videos currently, and there’s still no information about its pricing or release date. That’s a pity too.

“BlackBox” SMS Printer

20120103010

I’ve known of many people, especially those in love, getting used to making a copy of their SMS and IM messages as the commemorative. But that really costs them too much time, unless they’ve gotten the “BlackBox”. It provides a convenient and easy solution for people to keep their valuable messages on hand, printing SMS and IM messages out via a standard, noncarbon receipt printing system. It can even print a message twice so that the user can share that conversation with others.
