Doctor Who Gallifreyan Window Blinds: Who’s Behind that Window?

Posted on by

These Gallifreyan-patterned window blinds are perfect for any Time Lord who prefers a home to a traveling blue box. They were made by Kristy GD from the blog Please Excuse My Craftermath. These are perfect if you have a Doctor Who themed room already, and are just looking for that perfect finishing touch.

Even people who don’t like Doctor Who will love the cool abstract design. If you want to make them yourself there is a handy tutorial. It includes downloadable printouts for the stencils needed to make them.

This is a great way to add some geeky decor to your house. It may even catch the attention of a certain time traveler so don’t be surprised if a blue police box shows up.

Slap ‘Em and Wear ‘Em: Slap Band Sunglasses

Posted on by

Slap Band Sunglasses

Remember those slap bands of the nineties? They’re making a comeback– well, sort of — with the Slap Band Sunglasses. As the name implies, it’s unique because it has slap bands that serve as the temples of the frame. Aside from the novelty and nostalgic factor, having slap bands attached to your shades actually makes carrying them around more convenient. In fact, you won’t have to carry them around because you can just wear it.

The Slap Band Sunglasses are available for £19.99 (~about $31.)

Recon Instruments reveals Recon Jet, a sports HUD so bright it needs shades (video)

Recon Instruments reveals Recon Jet, a sports HUD that's so bright it need shades

We know Glass comes with some snap-on shades, which is no doubt great when casually vlogging in the sun. If you're heading down a mountain, though, you're going to need something a little more like Recon Jet. You may know Recon Instruments from its line of technolicious HUD ski goggles, but Jet sees the firm leap into more casual (yet no less useful) eyewear. Inside you'll find a dual-core processor, WiFi, GPS, Ant+, Bluetooth and an HD camera, plus all the sensors you could want (altimeter, thermometer, accelerometer etc). Recon Jet comes with its own open platform (which typically has been based on Android), and will have some existing native apps (video streaming, Facebook integration, etc.) on display at Google I/O this week. Comparison with Mountain View's own product will be inevitable, but we're guessing that Recon hopes you'll leave Glass on your desk, while popping Jet on for the weekend.

O2Amp Mood Divining Glasses Let You See How Others are Feeling

Posted on by

These new glasses are supposed to amplify the wearer’s ability to interpret the emotions and health of other people, by emphasizing the differences in color as well as brightness of their skin tone. The O2amp glasses were developed by 2AI Labs and I’d like to try them out to see how accurately they work.

The tinted glasses are supposed to have numerous medical applications as well. By reducing parts of the visible light spectrum, they highlight skin oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration. These could even help medical professionals locate veins, detect trauma or cyanosis.

These kinds of tinted shades could also be used in sports, security and poker. However, I’m sure they’ll get banned soon enough if anyone uses them in sports or poker to read the emotional state of other players.

The O2Amp glasses are currently being tested at a couple of regional hospitals for their effectiveness.
