My friend from Tokyo Otaku Mode introduced me a new product created by Neurowear called “necomimi” (in Japanese it literally means “cat ears”). The user can control the cat ears using his/her mind. This two videos show the device in action, I love its simplicity!
This calculator with integrated soroban abacus is fabulous. A soroban (算盤, そろばん) is a Japanese abacus. I’ve seen Japanese people that can use a soroban and are able to make quite complex calculations with it much faster than with a calculator. To learn how to use a soroban this PDF is great.
In case somebody still doesn’t know, Apple has released today two new Mac Book Air models. One of them, which is 11,6 inches, seen from the side and closed looks like a pair of chopsticks.
My work colleague @digitalbear has assembled his own watch using one of the new iPod Nano by Apple. Cool!!
Now that cases for the iPhone 4 are selling like hotcakes, this Japanese company has taken the opportunity to release these cases that look like some food is protecting the screen. The idea is kind of similar to the popular Sushi pendrives. I wonder if they will also release a version for the iPad.
Shiinaneko-san has found an original way of using your iPad to improve your eating experience. iDish is the name of the revolutionary application. Somebody dares to make the same but with dishes from their country?
From the same company that created the musical instrument Otamome, now we have a robotic dog that is able to pee. Another great Japanese innovation! Via Japantrends. Related posts: Humping dogs
Video recorded next to Apple Ginza Store.
