Pontiac GTO driven using iPod touch

March 18, 2010

 

We were first blown away by James Bond's heroics when he drove a BMW 7 Series using his Sony Ericsson handset, but that moment round it is no fiction - Dave Phipps has come up with an iPod touch software which will be able to control his 1968 Pontiac GTO. that is made possible thanks to the RedEye system which can remotely control the car's ignition, radio, doors and aothers with an iPod Touch. Just construct certain your iPod touch has ample juice to fiddle with all the settings, but good thing there is always a manual override for it.

Emcycle hybrid vehicle

Emcycle hybrid vehicle

The Emcycle hybrid is a mode of transportation that allows you to cocoon yourself and pedal to your destination, or enlist the help of electrical assistance to get you there. With three drive options which range from AM (I have energy) to PM (I'm tired!), you will definitely have fun with that while looking chic, although we're not too certain whether such a concept has ample safety features in mind to assemble it road-worthy. Apparently, it will be 30mph crash tested and comes with roll by protection, an airbag and a 3-point seat belt to keep you safe in the event of minor collisions, featuring a couple of locakable doors, a rear boot and LED headlights. So far the Emcycle has been classified as a bicycle in Europe, where it takes a whole night to recharge and has a working range of up to 40 miles with a top speed of 40mph.

Vestalife Ladybug2 and Firefly

Vestalife Ladybug2 and Firefly

[CES 2010] You might remember Vestalife's ladybug, a very cool speaker system for iPod. At CES 2010, Vestalife has launched multiple new designs, including the LadyBug 2 and the very cool Firefly. All the new designs are bigger, which basically means "bigger" sound - not that the old one was poor. The new ones are plus compatible with the new iPhones and iPod touch, so that's an upgrade that opens a lot of doors to Vestalife. confess it, it’s cute no?

Virtual Butler mirror

Virtual Butler mirror

Remember the first duration you watch Disney's Snow White? I just loved the way the magic mirror effects were done up, and all through traditional animation methods to boot. The Virtual Butler mirror brings back memories of yore, where it functions like a real mirror although can be connected to a variety of spots around your home including alarms, doors and cameras among others. The face is the stuff of nightmares, and I'm not too certain whether I want someone like that to greet me and open my doors whenever I come home. whether you're interested, the Virtual Butler is going for a cool $20,000.
