Microware ovens are now really hi-tech products, as they are available already for many ears, but the next concept has nothing to do with traditional microwaves, as it tries to imitate the intuitive usage associated with regular stoves.This is accomplished by copying the look of a regular cooktop, with two circles that resemble burners from a gas cooker. The trick is that under them there's place to put the food. You then seal them and press...

I was always a Mercedes Benz fan but I didn't particularly like the 95-2000 models, and only recently they've made nice looking cars by my standards.The best accomplishment in the past few years is the CLS, which apparently sells very well, so that Mercedes decided to borrow some of its distinctive feature for the 2009 SL-Class model.The most obvious part is the nose of the car and the headlamps. The back looks more like the old SL model,...

I hope someone tries to bring this idea to masses.Touchscreen monitors will surely be a thing ...

If you've seen Star Wars you must remember the holograms displayed there, used as a computer monitor, but a much cooler version. Some company managed today, after 30 years to come up with a helium display, that uses projected images to show pictures, just like a monitor.The next video better illustrates the concept. ...

The old pointing device we use every day, the mouse, has been in use for decades now, without suffering any major improvements or concept changes. That until now, when a group of five WPI undergraduates developed something new, the MagicMouse.The goal of this project was to create and advanced method of using software that utilizes 3D coordinates, like Google Earth and others. And what better way of doing this than having a 3D mouse? MagicMou...
