Nov 10, 2012 11:00 am | Alison A True Lifesaver Whether warfare, police work, fire danger or toxic areas – society has not come up with a foolproof method of entering into unseen places. Fiber optic cameras have proven useful, but have time and distance limitations. Sure, animals are being used in some situations. But should any life – human or otherwise – have to be lost? Unfortunately, lives are often lost in the attempts to understand the extent of danger or damage. Bounce Imaging developed a solution that looks to end the potential sacrificing of lives in hazardous situations. Their ball shaped gadget contains cameras to capture panoramic views and sensors to measure things like temperature. Consider it the first eyes on the scene. Data and images are then transmitted to a mobile device. Of course being a ball you can throw it. No need for elaborate setup. The device is gaining momentum. Recent press and awards give credence to its viability as a solution for dangerous or hazardous situations. In fact TIME magazine recently named it one of the Best Inventions of 2012. And with an estimated cost of just $500 a piece, I find it hard to believe why any law enforcement or military establishment would not invest. Especially if lives can be saved.

Yes sir, can you say that this is the ultimate galactic accessory? Since this is one R2-D2 that is inflatable, it is a good thing each purchase will be accompanied by a pump for easy inflation, instead of you having to huff and puff your way while roping in the help of a certain Big Bad Wolf. Unfortunately, while you cannot send any kind of holographic messages on this puppy, this inflatable and feisty droid measures over 65cm in height, and has detachable drive units that ensure R2-D2 remains compatible with other Star Wars characters. You can opt to spin it 360 degrees, drive forward, back, turn to both left and right, and get this – in the indomitable spirit of R2-D2, it also boasts of a self-righting system that ensures it remains upright even when knocked over or driven down stairs. Up to 3 units can be driven at once for some R2-D2 mayhem at home, and the handset requires a single 9V battery, while the drive unit runs not on lightsaber crystals, but a quartet of AA batteries.

The Angry Birds Air Swimmer will literally be transformed from its presence in smartphones, tablets and Smart TVs to the air, and you need not exhaust yourself by flinging it, but rather, use a far more elegant method of piloting it via remote control. Of course, it goes without saying that common sense needs to be applied when you fly the Angry Birds Air Swimmer around the home – it is best to avoid expensive vases or the urn that holds your great grandmother's ashes, while not touching moving ceiling fans is also another brilliant idea. It is filled with helium, and each purchase will also come with a King Pig balloon for you to re-enact the final level in Angry Birds games. Touted to be of high quality and durable, this Angry Bird is capable of remaining inflated for weeks on end, and is a snap to refill.
