It’s fair to say we’ve come a long way in terms of healthcare – and some could argue we’ve got a long way to go when it comes to finally beating the likes of cancer, Alzheimer’s and motor neurone disease – but there are a lot of developments on the horizon we can look forward […]
Transparent wall technology to save lives
This could be filed in the “is it a send up?” folder but you’ve got to give credit to New Scientist; they explain the concept clearly. Bonus points for mentioning super powers too. Video and projection technology deployed to let drivers see “through” walls and therefore be aware of any potential trouble around the corner.
Pay Pie! – Tech for splitting the bill
Pay Pie is my term for this wonderful device. I think it fits. Have you ever had to battle with fair and effective ways to split the bill? I have. Sometimes its easier just to pay the bill yourself than go through the drama of coping with cash, cards and IOUs! Thanks to Geeky Gadgets […]
DnD 4e played on Microsoft’s Surface. The future today.
Folks – this is why there is a Geek Native. This is awesome. The Surfacescapes team at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University could become gods among geeks if they’re able to push on and complete this project. What we have here is a proof of concept; a DnD 4e game (I could […]

Sharky tea – not shark fin soup
Shark fin soup is bad. We all know this… but what about this team from Looks Like Good Design? I certainly think it would be an impressive way to serve the tea when you had friends around. My main concern is that the water would be too cool by the time the tea was strong […]
New handheld video camera concept from Whipsaw
I’m tempted by a Flip camera. The idea of having something small enough to pop into my regularly used travel bag and pull out just when I need to is appealing. It would be a great way to start to produce video content for this and many other sites. Then there’s the iPhone S3G debate. […]
Kim Jiyoun’s hangman lights
Kim Jiyoun is a designer in South Korea who might be best known for electronic devices such as the wind powered battery recharger. I think the rather freaky but kinda cool hangman lights are worthy of a shout out though.
Geeky map tech with the Maptor
There’s always been something geeky about torches. Even before we really had “geek tech” there was a kudos to owning a maglite you could go adventuring with/bash orcs over the head with. The Maptor is something special. It’s not really a torch. It’s a a hand-held projector and a map. Not quite sure how easy […]
