element14 Community has launched a new design challenge focused on smart home and healthcare projects, inviting engineers, makers, and tech enthusiasts to build innovative prototypes that improve everyday living and personal well-being.
German researchers from Universtiy of Stuttgart and Regensburg have recently created InfiniTouch, a prototype device which allows you to interact with both sides of the smartphone. InfiniTouch takes two LG Nexus 5 phones, and morphs them into one handheld device. In order to save space, most of the actual phone electronics are located in a separate…
Smartwatches can keep us informed of incoming information at a glance, but responding still takes the use of another hand, potentially occupied by other tasks. But something is about to change thanks to the WrisText system. We present WrisText – a one-handed text entry technique for smartwatches using the joystick-like motion of the wrist. A user enters…
Google has launched updated, and more complete, versions of Google’s AIY Projects kits for audio voice agent and visual neural network processing development that bundle a Raspberry Pi Zero WH SBC. The Zero WH model adds to the standard Pi Zero W a soldered 40-pin GPIO header for easier prototyping. In addition, users of Google’s existing AIY…
ALio Proto Board is a prototyping board designed for electronic hobbyists who want to make prototypes containing SMD and through-hole components without using an extra breakout board. ALio is compatible with the traditional proto board while including all the features and benefits of traditional proto board. ALio lets you freely attach SMD component in…
A developer based in Chicago has created a new open source robotic arm and manufacturing platform called Evezor which is capable of taking you from prototype into production and offers a variety of different skills: 3D Print, Weld, Cut, Assemble, Pour, Carve, Mill, Draw, Pick, Place, Engrave and more. Described as the “most hackable robotic…
Earlier in November, during Engadget Expand 2014 Paul Eremenko, head of Project Ara, shown the so called spiral 1 a fully working prototype of Project Ara. It runs Android KitKat and applications, The prototype worked perfectly (finally) throughout the show, also when modules were hot-swapped; taken out and being put back in or replaced while the device still…
I recall I saw this video at the Open Hardware Summit in Rome – Gawin Dapper, CTO of Phonebloks shown it. It’s pretty impressing to see how the guys from Project Ara / Phonebloks just went from an “impossible” project to a working prototype in 2 years. Nothing is impossible! In the video, one of…
