Helios turns your iPhone into telepresence robot

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 05:43 AM PDT

Spending the time with your loved ones is always important, but if you can't do that, you might be interested in this telepresence robot.

Helios is a device that can turn your iPhone into your personal telepresence robot, and in order to do that, you have to install the Helios iOS app on your iPhone and launch it before you place your iPhone in a dedicated slot on top of the Helios. After that, you need to start your web browser and you'll be able to see video transmitted by your iPhone, while controlling it remotely. In addition, you can change the tilt of your iPhone remotely, so you can see things more clearly. One of the advantages of this robot is that you can control it remotely from any place on the world, so the possibilities are endless.

Helios is just a Kickstarter project so far, but we might see it available for sale someday in the future.

Talk to the hand with the latest Bluetooth gloves

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 04:31 AM PDT

Using your touchscreen smartphone can be almost impossible if you're wearing gloves, but fear not, since with today's pair of gloves you'll be able to use your smartphone and do much more at the same time.

Smartphones have been using capacitive touchscreens for a while, and only way to use them while wearing gloves is to take the glove off and use your bare hand, but during cold winter days that might not be the best and easiest solution. Today we have a special pair of gloves that comes with capacitive threads, so you don't have to take them off if you need to use your touchscreen smartphone. In addition, these gloves come with a Bluetooth receiver, microphone, and speaker that are built right into the glove, so you can take calls by talking to your hand.

These Bluetooth gloves come with MicroUSB for charging, and if you don't mind looking a bit silly while talking to your hand, you can pre-order these gloves from Hi-Fun for 50 €.

NES was one of the most popular home consoles in the past, and if you were a fan of NES in the past, today we have something that you might like.

Although NES has been replaced by new and more powerful home consoles, some people still have a soft spot for NES, and thanks to the fans of retro gaming, today we have a modern steampunk NES mod. This NES mod has been created by Reddit user Andrew, and this mod brings a new steampunk look to a retro device such as NES. As for the device, it looks amazing, and you're going to love it, especially if you're fan of retro gaming consoles and steampunk.

We have to agree that this steampunk NES looks amazing, and it would be perfect for your living room, especially if you're fan of retro games. Sadly, this is one of a kind NES, and it's designed by Andrew as a gift for his nephew, so we won't see it for sale.
