Super “Charged” Boots

These boots are made for walking… and phone charging. Though they’re only a prototype, Orange/GotWind‘s Power Wellies could eliminate the issue of having your phone battery die while you’re out.

The boots are able to charge your phone by drawing energy from the heat generated by your feet. According to the Got Wind site, “The Orange Power Wellies are the latest innovation in Orange’s bid to find alternative sustainable and eco friendly mobile phone charging technologies that can be used at the Glastonbury Festival.”

Amazing Lego Printer

This Lego printer connects with Mac computer, and uses felt-tip markers to “print” basic words and images. Love the integration of the little Lego dudes being put to work to create the design!

Classic Art in 3D – Samsung Creative Campaign

This Samsung spot introduces the world to the hidden 3D depths of some classic paintings. Puts a whole new twist on the somber attitude of Whistler’s Mother! (Bonus: Fans of The Mighty Boosh might recognize the voice in this piece. Here’s a hint).

Move over 2D

In anticipation that most portable digital devices will eventually be 3-D capable, Sharp is currently developing small three-dimensional liquid crystal displays that don’t require special glasses. Mobile electronics that let users view 3D images without the less than flattering glasses have been around for some time, since people tend to watch the display from a fixed distance and with a fixed angle on personal devices such as mobile phones, making it technologically less challenging to offer a 3D function. The Sharp new 3D LCD touchscreen will be best used on the Nintendo 3DS game console. The displays are expected to be available sometime in September.
