Inventors continue to replenish Kickstarter with interesting IT projects. We bring to your attention the monthly digest for September 2014.
Alae CO2 Scrubber is a cheap air purifier. The basic equipment of this device cleans the atmosphere of 24 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. CO2 Scrubber uses an air pump to pump air. Charged by a simple solar panel.
A very interesting device, namely the controller reduced to the size of a credit card. The controller can be connected to any system via Bluetooth, whether it be a smartphone, tablet, game system or even a computer. 12 buttons and a complete simulation of all game controllers from Nintendo to Gameboy. The operating time is 2 hours, then there is the possibility of connecting to a computer via USB.
Cap augmented reality. It consists of 2 parts: the holders of your smartphone and a special optical lens made by a corner and redirecting the image of the smartphone into your eye.
Smell your ringtone, as the slogan of this device tells us. In general, this is a device made in the form of a turret. It connects as usual via Bluetooth 4.0 and works with your phone, allowing you to launch a large amount of smoke when someone calls you, when you receive SMS, email, or just listen to music. Inside you can pour aromatic oils.
NoPhone-device free from all sorts of technologies, which allows you to always stay in constant contact with the real world. This is a phone, or rather a phone layout. Made of plastic, does not require recharging, no updates, waterproof, unbreakable. Of the minuses - the lack of any functions.
Glasses with RGB backlight, if you need a fashionable device, but there is no time to write code and solder. 68 full-color LEDs are built into the glasses. Operating time 2-3 hours on a single charge.
Remote key for your phone. Another interesting variation on the size of a credit card. The device connects to the phone through the application. The phone will be immediately locked as soon as it leaves the card access area. The best part is that the card does not consume the phone’s battery at all. A radius of 10 feet, a standard battery lasts for 1 year.
Quite an interesting, Arduino compatible device that allows you to track movement. Using 4 sensors on the panel, it detects movements, can turn on a siren when there is movement in the room. Also, the device can be programmed for various actions. Comes with a wireless keychain. Charges from 5 volt battery.
Device for levitation. Uses sound waves, causing objects to levitate. This is a really working device, perhaps on the basis of this device we will soon see a new engine, or at least a board from back to the future. How does she work? Ultrasonic levitation is a fascinating phenomenon that is interesting and educational to begin to explore. An ultrasound beam aimed at the reflector creates a sound wave causing objects to levitate.
Forget about the mouse, keyboard, remote control, and even the touchscreen. Now you can wave your arms to control your desktop, laptop or TV. In general, this is a device that tracks the movement of each of your fingers in space, thereby replacing both the keyboard and mouse. The device connects to USB and supports the application programming function for it, that is, the source code is open. Naturally, you can play games on the device and use it instead of the controller.
