| Holocube HC70, 70-inch holographic projector on display Posted: 24 Jan 2011 03:58 PM PST
This a display of the Belgacom Holocube HC70, and it is a bigger version of the Holocube that we have reported on before. The HC70 has a 70-inch transparent screen that can be viewed from both sides. It is powered by a Windows 7 Embedded machine with 40 GB of flash storage which allows it to loop eight to eighteen hours worth of three-dimensional footage with a 1080p projector. The video shows some interesting things in 3D. These are things that I usually see before in these holographic displays like a cell phone, and a cute little kid that looks like she is in free-fall. They never seem to have what I would like to see in hologram mode, like the entire Star Wars trilogy, for example. I wish I was at this place where they had this cool hologram on display. Does anyone know why they have this weird creepy music going on in the background? I think that holograms are pretty inspirational, and I would rather hear some more dynamic and not macabre music to accompany it.

| Introducing the Skizee, the Stand-up Snowmobile Posted: 24 Jan 2011 03:36 PM PST
It looks like someone just cut a snowmobile in half and somehow figured out a way to put a tread with a 10.5 hp 4-stroke engine on your back, but you can watch the video after the jump to see that it gets the job done. I suppose that the Skizee takes the fun of a snowmobile and gives it to the user in standing-up form. It also puts it in a small form, as this can be put in the back of a trunk along with the poles it comes in. Now you don’t need a pickup truck or a separate trailer to do your snowmobiling habit, assuming you can handle the new method where you don’t sit down. So, is this a new method of going on snow? I remember when snowboards first hit the slopes, and things were never the same. I wonder what these things run on, and how efficient is their gas mileage. The Skizee costs about $2,500, so that seems a little high to me. Perhaps it is too expensive to be the newest snow fad.

| Kraft and Intel team up to build a kiosk that knows what food you want Posted: 24 Jan 2011 03:14 PM PST
What happens is that when the user passes by the kiosk, the digital signage with Anonymous Video Analytics technology can determine the gender and age group and guess what products would be right for you. Shoppers can even swipe their local market’s loyalty card or their mobile phone, and the smart kiosk will make recommendations based on past purchasing history. It will even allow shoppers to add recipes, shopping lists, to smartphones with a barcode scanner. You can see a video of it after the jump. I suppose this is good, as my Source says that most homes don’t have much variety in the way of meals. I know my house has dinners of spaghetti, Hamburger Helper, Gyros, chicken, and it gets shuffled around each week. Of course, this does have an agenda, to sell more Kraft products. Something tells me that you’re going to get a lot of recommendations for Mac and Cheese. I wonder if all businesses will be trying like this. Are we looking at a future where the front area of the grocery stores will be all kiosks? I just am trying hard to picture that without getting a dystopian image. Now, if there were a way of doing the kiosk from home with a webcam, this would be easier. Coolest Gadgets UK – For all your UK centric tech and gadget news.

| Sennheiser PX 360 BT and PX 360 collapsible headphones Posted: 24 Jan 2011 05:00 AM PST
Of course, don’t judge a book by its cover – in this case, a pair of headphones by their ability to be folded away into a pocket-sized package – the new PX 360 BT and PX 360 are no slouches when it comes to performance, with the former’s “BT” suffix depicting Bluetooth connectivity support, while the latter will rely on the traditional wired connection. It doesn’t matter where you are whenever you put on the PX 360 BT and PX 360, as either model will allow you to immerse yourself in Sennheiser's rich world of sound. Featuring a natural sound with strong bass, the powerful Neodymium magnets thrown inside alongside Sennheiser's Duofol diaphragms ensure detailed, lifelike sound reproduction with a frequency response of 15 to 22,000 Hertz. There is also a very good reason behind the closed design of the headphones that ensures background noise is effectively kept out, letting you enjoy music in peace even in noisy environments. The PX 360 is touted to offer an exceptionally comfortable fit despite it being a wired headphones, where soft circumaural ear cushions allows you to wear it on without any adverse effect for hours on end. As for the Bluetooth-enabled PX 360 BT, it will allow you to play nice with a wide range of portable video and audio devices. The inclusion of SRS WOW HD SurroundSound technology helps spatially expand the sound image to offer an intensive sound experience with powerful bass. Needless to say, all functions are activated and controlled by a control unit integrated into the ear cup. Stashing them away is a snap, just fold them and you can be on your way. Don’t fret about them cracking, since the folding headband has a metal reinforcement for maximum mobility and durability, while each purchase comes with its own carrying case. The PX 360 and PX 360 BT will retail for $199.95 and $399.95, respectively. Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames, check out our reviews.

Needless to say, the German touch results in an engine that has a precisely calibrated carburetor, spark plug, and piston which will generate maximum mechanical energy in a smooth, efficient manner. It relies on butane which is readily available at camping stores to fuel it, where the engine will start simply by turning its flywheel. There is also a piezo magneto that is attached to a timing disk which will send an electrical impulse to the spark plug, helping ignite the fuel within the cylinder. An adjustable fuel valve will control the engine’s speed where this simple yet elegant movement of the valve rod, cross head, and crankshaft are clearly visible at lower revolutions. The whir of the engine is similar to that of a kitchen blender, where its dual exhaust pipes emit a non-toxic, invisible gas – so you can forget about committing suicide with this in a sealed office room simply because you can’t handle all the workload that’s thrown at you (alongside the fact that the hot secretary rejects your advances daily). A full tank will have this $999.95 engine run for 15 minutes.  Introducing Foolish Gadgets because not all gadgets are cool [ Desktop Combustion Engine copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Related Posts:

| It’s a Mouse, It’s a Game Controller, It’s a Remote Control – No, It’s the Chameleon X1 Posted: 23 Jan 2011 08:40 PM PST
I'm a huge fan of multitasking. In fact, the more a thing can do fairly well, the more fun it is for me. I never kid myself though, most of the time when something tries to do too much it doesn't usually do most of it very well, like the Chinese pizza and taco place down the street. However, if there were to be 3 things that should fit great together, why wouldn't it be a seemingly ordinary, albeit simply gorgeous mouse, that when flipped upside down, offers a fully functional game controller and a PC remote that can bring up your iTunes with the push of a button, flip through some tracks, handle your power point presentation and shut down your computer. The X1 gamepad that is built into the bottom includes a 5 stage adjustable 1600 dpi optical sensor with 125 Hz polling rate and connects to your laptop or desktop through a USB dongle over a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, and while all that certainly isn't very high-tech by todays standards and I can't be sure you're going to be able to make it through Azeroth with it, you can certainly enjoy it with some classic arcade video games from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Definitely more fun than pizza and tacos.

Sometimes, I have a video of the product that I am writing about, and I usually put it after the jump. It’s put there in case you the reader want to know see it in action, and I highly recommend you hit the jump and check it out now. 
What you are seeing here is the Skizee, and it is designed to do what skis cannot, carry you uphill. Yes, I still remember that first lesson of skiing back in grade school: skis go downhill, and you need a rope-tow or ski-lift if you want to go up. 
This is a some new idea from Intel and Kraft, and it is a kiosk that can apparently scan your face and tell what you want to eat. 
Ever wondered how an engine works? Well, you can spend some time with one up close and personal thanks to Hammacher who has come up with the 
Now that’s certainly one of the longer names for any device in my history with Coolest Gadgets, why can’t we just call it a spy voice recorder? Oh yeah, perhaps that will not help it stand out from the rest of the crowd, that’s why. The next time you go to work and tote a USB flash drive, make sure it is this
