Over one hundred years ago, the Wright brothers invented a practical flying machine that allows humans to fly like birds, and today Jarnos Smeets from Netherlands has created a Human Birdwings that makes us not only fly like birds, but look more like them. These wings seem interesting, composing of an HTC Wildfire S, a Wii remote and something else to be controlled by a person’s waving of his arms as if to fly. But currently the project is still under experiment, requiring further development to turn them into real wings that can help human to fly.

Still under development at the Kajimoto Laboratory, at the University of Electro-Communications, the device is designed to transmit the feeling of a kiss over long distances. At present, the researchers have made it possible for the device to replicate the movement of the tongue.

Considering that most parents nowadays are shuttling back and forth between various workplaces, it’s really difficult for them to spare time to accompany their kids, not to say giving them a warm hug each night. But luckily, the distance between kids and parents may be effectively shortened, since the Mixed Reality Lab has come up with the Huggy Pajama, a device that enables the parents and children to embrace each other remotely.

The Huggy Pajama system includes a mobile doll that comes with an embedded pressure sensing circuit to sense varying range of human force produced by real touch, as well as a wearable pajama that simulates the hug to the wearer. So when connected to the Internet, the doll will feel and deliver the hug produced by the mom to the pajama, which would then ‘hug’ the kids wearing it. Featuring embedded air pockets and heating elements, the pajama also makes the wearers feel warm and comfortable, as if the parents are rightly here with them.

Please use the lights YOU NEED—Well, we’re required to save power energy from time to time, but how? I mean, we truly can control how often we use the lights, but we couldn’t decide how much energy we’re using since every bulb is designed to illuminate the whole room with certain light intensity. Except the ‘EcoBulb’ designed by Seokjae Rhee!!! It is an adjustable bulb that comes with six distinct sections, each of which could be remotely controlled to change their brightness and lighting directions. As a result, ‘EcoBulb’ will merely illuminate those needed parts of the room with required light. That’s really an amazingly clever idea to save energy and I love it!

I’m just what I am! The electronic devices called “Used as Read” now allow us to figure out each of them, because these devices are made in the same shapes of the English words that they are named. For example, the radio spells out its name “radio”, the remote controllers spell out the word “remote”, “light” stands for lamps, and “music” shows us music players, etc.
