All Surface touch screen


Type a letter on your table. Browse through through pictures on the bathroom door. Just to give you an idea of what Light Touch could do for you. It's an interactive projector that lets you transform any flat surface into a touch screen.


In geek speak - Light Touch™ has Holographic Laser Projection (HLP™) technology inside which creates bright, high-quality video images in WVGA resolution. Integrated infrared sensors detect motion and turn the projected image into a 10.1″ virtual touch screen, so the user can control the projector and interact with applications simply by touching the image.

For the rest of you, the projector allows you to interact with data on any flat surface, much like you would on an iphone screen.

The Yogic Light Bulb


Jeff Leiberman's tribute to the levitating gurus of the Himalayas. Enlightment.
light bulb is a levitating yet powered lightbulb. It will float stably in midair and remain on for years without any physical contact, charging, or batteries. Ironically, with the levitation and wireless power circuitry both on, this entire package still consumes less than half the power of an incandescent bulb.
This is not a trick or a photoshop manipulation. The bulb and the casing contain hidden circuitry [shown in figures] that uses electromagnetic feedback to levitate the bulb roughly 2.5" from the nearest object, and uses coupled resonant wireless power transfer to beam power from the housing into the bulb itself.

This mouse moves on an eye ball


Look up to scroll. Blink to click. It's not a page out of a sci-fi movie, rather one out of the instruction manual of i-contact. (don't miss the pun) A mouse that fits right over your eye ball, just like a contact lens.
