Initially this looks like a bracelet or something, but if you look very closely you can see the hands of the watch and then you realize that this is a watch.
Designer Philippe Starck is well know for his “Out if the Box” thinking, which is clearly displayed in the watch, which he calls a veiled watch, because the watch face is not that clear to see straight away. It is a brilliant piece of illusion and style all in one piece.
This watch is priced at $247
This golf club concept is supposedly just for use on the beach so you don’t need to carry a whole set of clubs around, but I see no reason for it not to be just as practical on the actual links. It’s a club with a rotating face, allowing for you to adjust that 5 iron to a 9 iron quickly an easily. It’s a neat idea, and if the hollow body and mesh face were replaced with regular club materials I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to bring this to Augusta, leaving your sassy caddie back at the pro shop.
What’s long, white, wiry and fluffy and has a bit of hardware stuck on the end? A tail cam, of course. Available in Japan from Angel Kitty (they are the hot freekz who brought us the French Maid Keyboard) it will cost you $146, but I think that’s a bit expensive, so, after the jump, I’ll tell you how to make your own.

Air conditioned clothing is far from new, but thanks to Entrak, now the civilians in the crowd can don their own AC-equipped vest — if you don’t mind getting stared at while out in public, that is. The aptly-named ventilationVest is dubbed a “personal climate system” wrapped inside of an otherwise vanilla polyester vest, and reportedly utilizes “two battery-powered ventilation units concealed in its side pockets to circulate air” through a permeable liner. Additionally, the vest weighs just under three-pounds with all the gadgetry strapped in, and can purportedly keep a fresh breeze flowin’ for a whopping eight hours sans a recharge. Unfortunately, there’s no word on how much this fan-filled article will run you, and yes, it looks like that clashtastic blue will be your only color choice when ordering.

The EyeClops is a handheld microscope that looks like a grotesque eyeball, but can help you see that strange world that’s teeming with life right there in front of you, right under your nose. It magnifies everything 200x , but its design is about 800x as goofy as a typical microscope.
eyeclops2.jpgYou just plug the $50 EyeClops into a composite video input on any TV, point its bleary eye at your object of interest, and suddenly everything is in living color, up in your face in a super close-up on the TV screen.

If you go to your doctor’s office or to a scientific laboratory and they are using one of these, head directly to the nearest exit. But for just plain ogling your boogers, scars or household insects, it might be good for a laugh or two.

By slapping magnetic contact lenses onto your eyeballs, sensors can track where you’re looking. This could have important applications for the disabled, especially for those who rely on their eyes for control instead of disabled body parts. Right now, however, the Office of Naval Research is the largest sponsor, so you can probably file this patent under Helping Us Blow Shit Up.
Previous methods often employed visual solutions such as cameras, which can get mucked up by rapid motions, light, or glasses. They hope to use the technology to better track the attention of combat personnel such as pilots, whose eyes help them interact with their heads-up displays.
Sleep through your alarm and miss another appointment? Well, with this clock’s 113dB alarm and bed shaker unit, the only way you’ll sleep through the alarm is if you are dead. And, if you are dead, you probably don’t have any pressing appointments anyway.
This device from Think Geek, actually changes the color of the water coming out of the taps into the bath, is may sound rather funny, but there is a serious theme to this, one of the devices will turn the water red, should it reach a temperature above 89 digress, which is great thing for warning people about the how hot the bath is going to be.

Well maybe not, this could be the bike of the future or possibly the skate board. Because this Magic Wheel is sort of a cross between a hi tech skate board and a bike, but it is neither and that could be the problem with it.

The magic wheel is ridden with one foot on the side pod bit, that acts like a foot plate, while your other foot pushes the magic wheel along, it is steered by a single wheel at the front, which looks a bit fragile and very similar to the ones that you see on a supermarket trolley.
