Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve your performance, or a rehabilitative therapy patient learning to walk again, it helps if you can be shown what to do differently as you’re in motion. Well, that’s exactly what a new augmented reality-based (AR) system is designed to do. The technology is being developed at Canada’s University of Alberta, by a team […]
Uses AR To Train Athletes
E-Stroller
Electric motors from Bosch have made many an uphill bicycle jaunt a little easier over the years, but now the company is aiming to give parents some assistance with its e-stroller system. We’ve already seen a number of efforts to help roll kids along with ease – including the Bobtail, Roller Buggy and Elliptical Stroller – but the e-stroller doesn’t […]
Asokee Turns Go Pro Into Camera
Snøhetta has already proven itself adept at green design with projects like the ZEB Pilot House, but this new building is arguably its most sustainable to date. Hailed by the firm as the world’s northernmost energy-positive building, Powerhouse Brattørkaia produces more than twice the electricity it requires per day. Powerhouse Brattørkaia is located in Trondheim, Norway, and measures 18,000 sq […]
Slippers For Clipless Pedals
While many bicyclists use so-called “clipless” pedals for serious cycling, simple platform pedals are often better for quick, casual rides. Pocket Pedals are designed to bridge the gap between the two, temporarily converting clipless pedals into platforms. First of all, yes, you’re right – there are already flat plastic doohickeys that can be clicked into the engagement mechanism of third-party […]
Wallypower Superyacht
One of the truly grand superyachts previewed at last week’s Monaco Yacht Show, the 165 Wallypower combines hard, sharp angles with natural curves for a look that’s positively arresting. The 164-foot (50-m) concept is crafted to power through the water with a wave-piercing hull and diesel-driven water jet powertrain. When it stops for respite, it opens up to the sea […]
Asokee Turns Go Pro Into Camera
Although the GoPro Hero may be one of the best compact video cameras you can buy, its form is different than the DSLRs or point-and-shoots that we’re used to. British startup Overlab is out to change that, though, with its Asokee case. Designed to fit Hero models 5, 6 and 7, the Asokee is made of a combination of 6061 […]
Ethical Smartphone
It’s been four years since we saw the Fairphone 2, but the company’s quest to build the ultimate ethical smartphone continues. And that brings us to the new and upgraded Fairphone 3, offering improved specs but the same commitment to sustainable and responsible phone development. As with the previous Fairphone handsets, the new model is built with the environment and […]
Charging E-Scooter When Mounted To Your Car
Hyundai has dropped a few more eggs in the last-mile electric mobility basket, today unveiling a redesigned prototype scooter to propel folks over the final leg of their journey. The electric two-wheeler packs more than enough range to complete short hops between urban destinations, and can even draw power from the owner’s car to stay topped up and ready to […]
Assessing Heart Disease Risk
We’re already quite familiar with the testing kits in which a woman pees on a “stick” to see if they’re pregnant. Well, Australian scientists have now developed a similar device, except that users spit on it to find out if they’re at risk of heart disease. Being developed in a partnership between startup ESN Cleer, RMIT University and the Innovative […]
