Bionic Eyes - Computer Eye Implants Reality

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:28:02 +0000

Like something out of a science fiction movie, British patients are being implanted with bionic eyes. This has the potential to help hundreds of thousands of blind people. I am looking forward to seeing what else they can do with robotics and bionics.

Mr Lyndan de Cruz, the consultant retinal surgeon at Moorfields said:

“We have been fascinated with the idea of combining electronics and the human body since the Bionic Man in the 1970s. This shows it can and is being done.”

Cool Kids Bike

Skuut is a cool bike for Kids learning how to ride a bike. This would be great for my 2 year old. He likes the tricycles but does not like the pedals moving because the keep falling off. Look Ma, No Pedals.

Kids can walk the bike forward. As they go faster they stride with feet off the ground for longer and longer periods of time, ultimately being able to pull both feet off the ground and coast.At first they tilt to one side or the other and their feet catch them like training wheels or a tripod would. Very quickly balance becomes second nature and they can coast for yards with their feet off the ground.Plus they are really cool.

Caracol one handed keyboard concept, its a computer keyboard that absolutely rubbishes all convention and takes to an entirely new approach to simplify typing. You can type blindingly fast and all that just with one hand. For this, Caracol, uses a rotary keyboard on a wheel through which you slip your palm.

The keyboard or rather, keywheel rests on a nice and comfortable, ergonomic pad very similar to the mousepad on which you rest the heel of your palm. The loop has a 5:1 gearbox which enables it to rotate even with a small movement of the palm.
