| Robotic Movement with a Difference Posted: 16 Apr 2012 01:11 AM PDT ITRI MediRobot by Pilotfish is a robotic assistant that can lift and transfer patients with limited mobility and assist their caregiver. Traditional lifters have their drawbacks and have to be used in combination with wheelchairs etc. This servo-controlled MediRobot not only helps in transferring the patient from bed to the bathroom (or help in walking) but also displays information like weight and blood pressure collected via sensors on the sling. The robot allows the caregiver to fully focus on the task of transporting the patient, without the physical strain. It also serves as an infotainment terminal for the patient. This project was conducted in collaboration with Taipei Municipal Yan Ming Home for the Disabled. Designer: Pilotfish - Related posts:

| Posted: 16 Apr 2012 01:01 AM PDT Viewing 3D cinema is a truly gripping experience but for the 3D glasses! Besides being heavy and awkward for those already wearing numbered glasses, they are a material waste and pose a health hazard. Stix offers an easy solution by being a pair of self-adhesive sticker 3D viewing films. Simply slap them onto your current numbered glasses and enjoy your 3D movie. The stickers are cut out a shape bigger than average glasses to ensure they cover till the rim. The concept's approach resonates with me, since I wear glasses too and find wearing additional glasses a hassle. Hopefully the sticker in Stix will be easy to peel off and then we are assured of a winner here! Designers: Lucy Jung & Daejin Ahn - Related posts:

| Posted: 16 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT The EXTU stands for “extreme utility” – it’s a versatile camera system that pushes the capabilities of shooting to the limit. Designed for use in a variety of situations, the cam, batteries, and specialized mounts feature a rugged body composed of hard-anodized aluminum, ABS plastic, and silicone rubber to withstand drops, hits and extreme conditions like snow, water, and sand. Hit the jump and check out the vid! The system includes the body unit, lens unit, and two battery units which can be combined to extend runtime. The front part of the body flips up 120°, allowing the grips to be easily switched for different shooting positions. Additional features include a 3.5″ touchscreen display, digital viewfinder, GPS, accelerometer, digital compass, wireless data connection, and an internal image sensor that allows lenses to be exchanged instantly.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT Set to hit markets by the end of this year, the IQcook by Gorenje aims to reinvent the way we cook. The magnetic smart sensor, which can be placed on any lid, allows completely safe and controlled cooking while also providing up to 40% power savings. The device syncs wirelessly with the cooking hob to regulate heat so the user can concentrate on the rest of their cooking without having to worry about water boiling over or food being over-cooked. It’s about time we had something like this! Designer: Gorenje - Related posts:

| Posted: 16 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT Halo is a simple, yet technologically advanced solution for cutting the inefficiency of business cards and the vast amount of paper waste they produce each year. Using Bluetooth technology, the digital card makes it possible for users to trade cards in one simple selection on the touch-sensitive screen. The transferred “card” can even have its own unique style, just like a regular paper card. There’s also money to be saved in the long run as the user no longer has to purchase replacement cards!
