Introducing Word Lens
Word Lens instantly translates printed words from one language to another using the video camera on your iPhone. No network delay, no roaming fees, and no reception problems.
Having seen this in action I can say that this is a truly amazing product. I’m now hoping the hoverboard is just around the corner…
“I’ve always wanted to be an X-wing pilot, helping the Rebel Alliance in their desperate struggle against the Galactic Empire. Unfortunately we haven’t yet acquired the technology in this galaxy to build reliable and safe X-wing fighters. However I wasn’t gonna let that put me off and embarked on a mission to bring my childhood fantasy one step closer to reality.
Thanks to Adobe AIR for Android and some guidance from the force I’ve constructed a GPS-enabled version of the Targeting Computer found within Luke Skywalker’s X-wing Fighter. So now you can at least pretend to be an X-wing pilot while you’re driving your car.”
Chris… you are a genius!!!!!
amazing what talent and a single-minded obession can produce…
Lego Augmented Reality (via jshwbb)
The first real useful application of augmented reality I’ve seen (outside of gps-based apps) . Simple but inventive.
yes, this is unnecessary and more than a bit geeky, but look at the obvious talent trying to grapple with a limited interface.
…wait, I’m geekier than I thought…

Impressive UI on this secret Microsoft tablet. Now if the MS UI is this good, how is it going to compare to the fabled iTablet?
I’ve long ached for a Cintiq, so is this (or its expected Apple competitor) going to deliver a computer with the illustrate-on-the-screen capability I desire?
And will one kidney suffice?
ROBOTIC PENGUINS, and other cute and frightening technology that will probably steal your girlfriend.
These penguins are more capable of functioning in this modern world than I am. And what? 3-D sonar, precision grabbing, and swimming in reverse? Time to invest in a tuxedo and some glowing eye implants, so we can more easily assimilate when these bionic bastards rise up.
If that doesn’t get your bedsheets damp, the same ominous corporation offers Aqua Jellies, which look just like Nadja, the filterless-Pall-Mall-smoking lancer of my virginity.

FESTO. While you may not have heard of them, from the looks of this you will do at some point… them or their robot army.
I like this because it has lots of nice possibilities, but especially as it uses a 15th century concept: anamorphosis (no, I didn’t know it was called that either)

“It’s difficult to properly describe the software known as Rhonda but apparently it’s a drawing tool that allows you to spin your subject in 3D environments with no effort. I suggest you go to the site and watch a bit of James Paterson go nuts with it. Incredible.”
