Close your eyes and imagine a world where you never had to take your hand off of the keyboard to move the cursor. Now open your eyes. May I present the Combimouse- A keyboard/mouse hybrid that allows for more productivity, and fluid computing. It’s simple: The right side of the keyboard has a sensor that triggers the unit to mouse mode, when the user puts his hand around the sides of the mouse-shaped portion. [...]
Once again the auto industry is trying to make everyone into standard drone drivers, this time by releasing a car with exterior airbags designed to save pedestrians from life-threatening injuries. But how far is too far? Hey I’m all for safety but this is beginning, and continuing to be ridiculous. Japanese company called Humanix is going to begin selling a cushioned electric car. Called the iSave -SC1 the full electric three seater looks more like [...]
With all of the things on our minds these days, chances are you’re inevitably going to lose something at some point. Though there is no defense for all of your worldly possessions, you can target some, and that’s where the Stick-n-Find Bluetooth Stickers come into play. All you do is stick these little suckers on all the usual suspects, (You know: keys, wallet, phone, flask), and with the use of an App. for your phone, [...]
The bladeless Exhale fan uses inspiration from the one and only Nikola Tesla to provide a smooth, steady stream of air from the ceiling. The Exhale is a bladeless laminar vortex cyclonic homogenizing ceiling fan – it works very differently to a standard bladed ceiling fan. The Exhale uses a principle called laminar flow it is able to evenly mix the air throughout an entire room. In contrast, a conventional ceiling fan buffets the area [...]
![Electronic Countermeasure Defeats Traffic Cameras [NoPhoto]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/BEfore_large.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
NoPhoto is an electronic countermeasure for traffic cameras that is currently up for funding on Indiegogo. On detecting a traffic camera via its onboard sensors, NoPhoto floods the number plate with light to disrupt the camera’s photo – thereby saving you from a hefty fine. There are some people who would suggest that such a device is irresponsible. The developer, Jonathan Dandrow believes otherwise. He explained his motivation for building the device, which he says [...]
The Popinator is a project that has been put together by the Indiana Popcorn Company. When you say the word “pop”, It uses a binaural microphone to pinpoint the location of your mouth and launches a piece of popcorn in its general direction. The individual aerodynamic aspects of pieces of popcorn tend to affect their flight, so there is still some maneuvering involved – but as you can see from the video it does a [...]
These Donkey Kong inspired wall shelves are the work of one Igor Chak. At this stage they are just a concept, but seriously, how hard would they be to make? I like the way Chak managed to achieve the tilt effect on the shelves, while keeping them level. Nobody wants a sloping shelf, but it would be Donkey Kong if they were all straight.

The TAG+FINDER is an interesting concept by South Korean designer Donguk Seo. Basically, its a RFID tag that you strap onto your bag that notifies a receiver, which you carry, when it comes within range. No more vigilantly watching the carousel when you are fall-down tired. When the bag comes within range, the LED light on the receiver starts flashing and we assume that it also starts beeping – indicating that it is time for [...]
Anyone who has ever lived in a tropical or sub-tropical region has probably had the pleasure of eating a decent banana. It is pretty hard to get anything other than the bland Cavendish variety anywhere else, but if the people behind the Urbanana concept have their way, that may change. Urbanana is a highly-automated vertical greenhouse that has been specifically designed for Paris. The greenhouse has a controlled climate and uses artificial lighting to maintain [...]
I wish we had an “I can’t wait to get my sweaty hands on it” category to classify this one into. OUYA kickstarter company sees Nintendo’s upcoming WiiU, the Sony PS4 and the Microsoft XBOX 720, and raise them with a 99$ Android console. The real kicker though, isn’t so much that the startup has gathered over 3 million dollars in pledges in just over three days, or that they offer a 10.000$ pledge with [...]
![Track Down Your Missing Keys Via Bluetooth [Hone]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/hone1-e1340338908557.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
The Hone is the most interesting Kickstarter project I have seen in a while, mostly because I have a terrible time keeping track of my keys. It is a Bluetooth-enabled keyring that pairs with your iPhone 4S or iPad 3 (or any other iOS device that supports Bluetooth 4) that lets you locate your keys from a distance of up to 150 feet. The battery lasts for around six months. The application lets you do [...]
We’ve all either had it happen to us or been there when it happened to someone else: you’re somewhere where cell phones are verboten and the contemplative silence is shattered because someone forgot to switch their phone to vibrate. Nokia has just filed a patent application for a radical solution that has the potential to change all of that. The patent application describes the technology as follows: “…a material attachable to skin, the material capable [...]
