The mouse requires that users lift their fingers to press its buttons, and was created to help combat repetitive strain injury. In contrast to the traditional mouse, which uses the flexors to generate pushing force, this mouse demands that clicking is accomplished through use of the extensors, the muscles used to open the hands. This different motion can help to reduce the pain of RSI.

The idea is to develop an invisibility cloak that will trap sound waves, preventing the sound from leaving the material. The proof of concept 'cloak' will be a small, thin plate made up of rings of micro-structured polymer material that will resonate at different frequencies. Sound wave vibrations will follow a circular path around the plate, unable to leave the material. The cloak will differ from conventional noise protection devices in that the sound waves will be neither...

Let your friends and family experience life through your eyes with the camera glasses. The glasses will feature a tiny camera in the center able to record audio and 720p video, which will be saved to an SD card. The captured video will then be posted on the video sharing site, which will connect with a number of social media platforms. The glasses will also function as electronically powered sunglasses, with the lens tint able to shift from lighter to darker with the press of a...

This idea can help blind people to gain partial eyesight. There will be a microchip to be implanted onto a patient's eyeball. The patient will wear special glasses with a camera that transmits images to the microchip and fires an electrode under the retina, stimulating the optic nerve.

A solar paint can be made in large enough quantities to be eventually used as an alternative to silicon-based solar cells. The paint is made up of titanium dioxide particles coated with either cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide. The coated TiO2 particles were suspended in an alcohol-water mixture to create a paste that created electricity when it was applied to a transparent conducting material and exposed to light.

The Robo-Fish is designed for constant monitoring of marine pollution, detecting sources of contamination and relaying the information back to shore for real-time updates. The 1.5 meter device is based upon the hydro-dynamic shape and motions of an actual fish, which allows it to maneuver quickly and easily, even in weedy areas. It can detect contaminants with an array of micro-sensors, and, since it is constantly monitoring the area, send an alert immediately if it detects...

It seems to be a great idea to create a harness which will allow dogs to be guided remotely and controlled while out of sight. The harness will come with GPS, sensors, and wireless modem allowing handlers to keep track of the dog while issuing commands from a distance. The system will relay the commands to the dog in the form of vibrations or tones that the dog has been trained to recognize.

A new portable scanner for police departments will make it easier for officers to detect weapons, such as knives or guns, on a person's body. The device will use infrared light image the natural radiation gives off by a person's body. When a solid metal object blocks the rays, the image shape will show up on the scanner screen.

The gesture based calculator application will allow the user to perform basic math computations with only a swipe. The iOS app will simplify the basic functions of the calculator. The user can add with a swipe to the right and subtract with a swipe to the left, while an upwards gesture will access the equal function and two swipes down will erase everything.

Astronauts may soon be making fresh sandwiches in space thanks to a new process. The concept uses the carbon dioxide naturally expelled by the astronauts expel to act as the leavening agent, eliminating the need for yeast. The carbon dioxide is mixed with water in a sealed, pressurized chamber, where it dissolves to form carbonic acid which is then combined with the bread dough in a separate sealed container. Releasing the pressure in the sealed container converts the carbonic acid...
