Music for Deaf People?

this is sweet! this device has been created specifically for people who can't hear to get their own view on music! a soft, spiky ball is attached to an I-pod or something similar, and the ball will pulse to the music as it plays. the deaf can feel the rhythym rather than hear it, and get a sense of what the music is. I think that this is a really good idea :)

Zoybar: Custom instruments

Now this is sweet! Zoybar is a hardware kit made for making custom electric stringed instruments and effects! the modular parts can be arranged as a variety of instruments and has tons of different sounds and controllers. The user gets to masup instruments and lets the player play and manipulate sounds from the instrument. Sounds like fun to me :)

Very Cool Shelves!

A brilliant designer named Maria Yasko came up with this idea for these beautiful shelf designs. If going for a more artsy look this is definitely something you should check out. All of her designs are inspired by nature and surroundings. I love the colors she uses, but i wouldn't know how practical some of these shelves would be, very cool though :)

Making music...by moving?

Imagine that! this new concept i can see being a hit :) This suit that you wear makes different musical sounds with every move you make. The Pacer suit receives electro impulses that show up when muscles are moved, amplifies and turns them into sound with the sensors attached to muscles. This suit is able to make rythym and melody just by dancing. It can also be looked at as theraputical treatment. I think this would be a good idea, and as the concept adds, a good encouragment for excersise. i think it will definitely get people moving!

Decathlon Fitness Cube

Ever thought about getting some fitness gear, but never knew where to put that huge hunk of equipment? Well there is a new creation for fitness people out there now called the Decathlon Fitness Cube. It's a block that has about 30 excersises you can do built into it, and works excersising all parts of the body. It's estimated at about $233, not a bad price for 30 excersises in one little box :)

Utensils Analyze your Food?!

Ever thought about how warm your food was before you took a bite and burned your tongue into all eternity? :P well this new idea is a fork, knife, and spoon that monitors not only the tempurature of your food, but the weight you've eaten, and analyzing the components of fat, proteins, and sugar! These devices also come with bluetooth so that you can put it on a personal nutrients sheet and keep a balance of what your eaten and if your eating healthy.

Each utensil has a different job. the spoon weighs the food, knife takes tempurature, and the fork takes in and measures fat, protiens and such.

I think this would be sweet to have, if not only just to save your tongue :P Especially for people trying to eat healthier and not eat so much junk.

i-save: Water concept

When you think about it, we really do waste a lot of water in the bathroom. a 5 minute shower produces 25-50 litres of water! This i-save concept collects the water from your showers and hand washing and uses it for flushing the toilet. I think this is a good way to save on water and energy, plus..the design looks really good!
