Ocean Breeze Motion Dolphin
Ocean Breeze is an undulating segmented worm-like light that’s shaped like a dolphin, is lit up with blue LEDs, and makes strange undersea noises complete with dolphin squeaks. Yes, it actually moves and flaps its tail up and down like a dolphin. Or something.
It’s marketed as some sort of romantic talisman, but we wouldn’t fire this baby up the next time Flipper gets a backache. It just looks weird, and it sounds like a faucet’s leaking in the bathroom next door. We’ve heard similar sound efffects in morgue scenes. Don’t miss the video of this $79 wave motion dolphin in action. You may be as unimpressed as we are. – Charlie White

Colored JukeDock from Pressure Drop
Pressure Drop just rolled out JukeDock, a $100 system that lets you
plug your iPod into your TV, stereo and computer, giving you some
snazzy blinking lights at the same time.
Compatible with most iPods, its LED lights have three brightness levels
that can bounce along with the music, cycle among various colors, give
you a steady color or can even go into a psychedelic rainbow mode for
those nights you feel like pulling out that Pink Floyd album.
This looks like a fun little device to which you can attach your iPod,
give yourself some retro-deco lighting, and easily control with your
existing stereo’s remote. Jump for more pics.

Cell Phone Disco - playful experimental installation
Cell Phone Disco is a playful experimental installation made out of flashing cells. By multiplication of a mobile phone gadget, only slightly altered consumer product, we created a space to experience the invisible body of the mobile phone.
Flashing cells basically consist of one or more LEDs, battery and a sensor that detects electromagnetic (EM) radiation transmitted by an active mobile phone. When the sensor detects EM waves it sets off the LEDs to flash for a couple of seconds. In general the flashing cells are enclosed in a plastic casing on a strap and sold as a fashion accessory for a mobile phone.
The Cell Phone Disco installation has two parts:
MOBILE AURA Flashing cells with sensors of higher sensitivity are used to detect electromagnetic radiation of active mobile phone in a range of approximately a meter. This way a sort of aura appears around the phone, revealing a part of it’s invisible body.While the user moves around talking on his phone, this aura follows the conversation as a light shadow through the space.
MOBILE DRAWINGMuch less sensitive cells are used to create a canvas for an inkless marker. The LEDs get activated only by an extreme proximity of the electromagnetic source. Moving the phone close to the cells therefore leaves a trace of light, an temporary electromagnetic drawing.
iBand - a wearable device for handshake-augmented interpersonal information exchange
The iBand project aims to leverage the simple gesture of the handshake, coupled with the qualities of jewelry to act as tangible keepsakes and reminders of relationships, to explore potential applications at the intersection of social networking and ubiquitous computing.
The prototype is a wearable bracelet, adjustable in design for different kinds of users (male, female). When worn, the circuit board and battery lay flat under the wrist and an infrared (IR) transceiver is positioned near the back of the thumb pointing toward the hand such that it is visible to an IR transceiver on another device when shaking hands. A handshake is detected via infrared transceiver alignment combined with hand/wrist orientation and gesture recognition using a 2-axis accelerometer.
In a full experience with this prototype, the user first enters contact/biographical information into a kiosk, which stores it in a database and assigns a unique ID number to their iBand. The user can also create a personal logo that appears on the LED display woven into their device. When the user shakes hands with another iBand user, ID numbers and logos are exchanged and stored. The LED display cycles through the stored logos at a pace reflecting the number of hands that have been shaken. When the user returns to the kiosk, it displays a list of new contacts by looking up the collected ID numbers in the database.
