Projecting With OO

March 9th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

Built from semi monocoque carbon fiber, the durable OO wireless projector is a part of the GEO series from designer David Riesenberg. As he explains, the projector displays high definition (1080p) data via WiFi or internal SSD storage and works independently from any wire for up to 3 hours. It does rely on its internal Li-Ion battery for some support but hooks up to any power source (via a single wire), should the need arise. Thanks to the combo of WiFi and internal storage, OO doubles up as an extender/duplicator of an external display or as a wireless media projector/streamer with built in decoding capabilities.

Manipulating the stance of the projector is easy, thanks to its three independently articulated legs. And to work it like magic, a fully touchscreen remote come in handy, however it can work without the remote in extender/duplicator mode after pre configuration.

Entertain Yourself: Jamo A 804 Speakers

March 9th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

In part 1 of our Entertain Yourself series we took a look at the Sony BRAVIA NX800 3D HDTV. It’s our pick for amazing picture quality, industrial design, and packs a wallop of future proof technologies to take you far beyond 2010. Tho the built-in speakers are a wonder in themselves we wanted dedicated speakers. Last year we came across the Jamo A 804 and have been in love ever since.

A beautiful television demands an equally beautiful speaker system. If you take a look at what’s available on the market, speakers are either 80’s industrial boxes or beautifully crafted modern exercises. The former is all performance with no thought to design and the latter is just the opposite, too much design with subpar acoustics. Is there a happy medium?

Take one look at the A 804 – it’s gorgeous! The piano black finish is accented with black leather; fluidic yet technical in appearance. The size is dominating but well suited to Sony’s new monolithic design aesthetic. It’s absolutely stunning and only enhances the entertainment area. Speakers don’t have to be hidden. They can be proudly displayed and the A 804 is more than capable of holding its own amongst the best hardware makers and designers in the industry.

Prior to installing the A 804, we were using a Yamaha Sound Bar which we LOVE. The simulated 5.1 audio system is just the ticket for something better than stereo. The A 804 can function as a single, double, or a full on 5+ speaker setup and it’s the versatility that’ll make any audio guru happy. Unlike other speaker systems, you don’t need a full blown out package to get massive sound. We only have two A 804’s and a subwoofer and we’re more than elated. You will need a receiver to drive the speakers. We’re using a Pioneer model but even when hooked up to a small Denon unit, the sound was full, crisp, and balanced between the high, mids, and lows.

The A 804 is a 3-way, bassreflex speaker. The rigid cabinet constructed from high-gloss, lacquered aluminum, steel and high-density polymer results in a stable, non-resonant cabinet with very clean sound reproduction. One of the secrets of the A 804 lies in its flow-optimized bass port, which delivers extremely clean bass, even at high volume. The silk dome midrange/tweeter is a Jamo developed co-axial unit featuring WaveGuide technology. The clever three-way construction of the A 804 produces a perfect sound dispersion pattern, giving you maximum freedom when positioning your flatscreen, surround system and sofa. Its hard to visualize but sit anywhere around the TV and you never hear the sound drop off. It’s continuous and rich from the farthest corner of our seating arrangement. Sitting dead center is no longer the hottest seat in the house. Everyone gets to enjoy the almost pliable audio experience.

Wampa Slippers are Warmer than the Inside of a Tauntaun

wampa Wampa Slippers are Warmer than the Inside of a Tauntaun
You remember the friendly Wampa from Star Wars, right? Well it’s the nice looking fella pictured above, you know the one who captured Luke on the planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back and hung him upside down in his cave. Nice guy! Well if you’re like one Wampa-loving Instructables user, you make your own pair of fuzzy Wampa slippers.
wampa slippers Wampa Slippers are Warmer than the Inside of a Tauntaun
Since for some reason they don’t make official Wampa slippers, these homemade ones will have to do. Warning- making these involves the shameless destruction of a pair of identical white teddy bears!!! Basically tear open the two bears (buy them, don’t steal them from your kids!!), attach a felt bottom for the soles of your feet and stitch on a Wampa face. Done and done.

Crazy Mouse Moves Away From Your Hand

crazy mouse Crazy Mouse Moves Away From Your Hand
Today’s prize for “a lot of work for not that much result” goes to the Crazy Mouse. The crazy mouse is one of the weirdest mods we’ve come across- I’m not sure why you’d want to do this other than as a practical joke. Ok, it would be pretty funny I guess. But worth the extensive effort to make it? Ehhh.

Anyway, this mouse will move away from your hand as you try to grab it. Great party trick. It does this via a light sensor that detects the shadow of your hand which turns on a motor for a second or two and moves the mouse away. It’s a pretty advanced mod, check out this laundry list of items you’ll need:
-Copper Boards
-Printed Circuit
-Photocell
-22k Resistor
-47uF Electrolyte Capacitor
-TIP122 Transistor
-555 IC
-10k Potentiometer
-Some Wire
-Iron
-Soldering Iron
-Soldering Wire
-Circuit Boards Acid
-Paper Tape
-Sandpaper
-Wire Cutter
-1mm Drill
-Old Computer Mouse
-Small Motor
-4 AA Batteries
-A piece of Rubber Tube
-Glue
-1N4148 Diode
-0.1uF Ceramic Capacitor (104)
-Some Tools
So since neither you nor I is actually going to make this, why not check out the action video:
