Star Wars Force Trainer

Start training your inner force and have some fun at the same time. So how does it work? The fine people from Thinkgeek always have a great descriptions:

It’s quite simple. depending on the amount of Midichlorians you have in your cells, each of you possess differing abilities to control your brainwaves. Using dry sensor technology, the Force Trainer can determine the differences between the alpha, beta, gamma and delta waves present in your brain. You can control these different brain ’states’ by using your ability to focus and to concentrate. A micro-chip inside the Force Trainer then uses an algorithm to figure out which brain state you are in and then decides how to raise or lower the ball based on that state. It’s kind of like magic, except the kind from a Galaxy far far away.

These toy robot hands, which feature five jointed fingers on each hand can be used to hold small objects, which makes the $600 price tag kind of a lot.

You need to be in Japan (and serious about your robot hands) to pick up a pair.

News just in, Toyota has a new mode of personal transport and it looks familiar. The Toyota Winglet bears an uncanny resemblance to the Segway, but it is different enough to be considered unique. The Winglet comes in three models: S, M and L, but don’t be fooled, the S model is apparently the sporty model which allows for hands free operation (which you can see in the video after the jump). The L, as you can see in the picture, just looks like Segway’s less robust little brother. (more…)

Ah, Erector, or Meccano as it was known in my part of the world. It looks a world apart from the bits and pieces I used to play with as a kid. The bug never bit me, much to my father’s chagrin, as he loved his Meccano well and gave me his old set. Looking at the new stuff from Erector, there is a lot more plastic than I remember, and it seems like they have lost quite a bit to Lego. Maybe the Spykee can change things for them.

We have seen a lot of these robotic toys cum tools in the past. Spykee is not really in danger of breaking new ground. According to the website it can move, hear, observe and speak as well as taking real time pictures and video. That is nothing particularly new. It can act as a motion detecting alarm, alerting you via email; reasonably interesting but not terribly exciting. The Spykee would completely fail to impress were it not for the fact that it is Skype 3.0 compatible. As an added bonus, there is also an MP3 player on the side.

All of these features are included in the flagship Spykee, which will run you for about $450. There are scaled down versions available for less, but you will lose all of the funky features that separate the Spkee from lesser robotic toys. If you are a tightwad, you can lose the WiFi in return for Bluetooth and change the MP3 player for an iPod dock. It will set you back about $300. The kid friendly Spykee Miss and Spykee Vox don’t have any of the interesting functions, but can control the TV, they will hit you for about $230.

Available some time around summer.
