Here’s a DIY project that will allow you to fly your R/C helicopter or airplane using an iPphone. The basic premise involved connecting your iPhone to an Ethernet LAN network by means of a Linksys router.
Once the iPhone acquires an IP address, a pilot program on the Iphone would interface with the router using an SSH client/server setup.
EyeSeeCam is a head mounted camera system that tracks the pupils of the wearer and relays that electronic visual data to servo actuators which can then be used to control robots, video cameras or any number of other gadgets.
The design belongs to research scientists at the University of Munich Hospital who’s original intentions were to study human cognitive behavior but after the system was developed, they soon realized that it will have a variety of commercial applications which they intend to explore.
We’ve reviewed many remote control cars and iPod speakers, but this is first time we’ve seen mobile speakers hooked up to a R/C car.
I guess this is for those that like their music on the go. This pimped out car is the BLESS’ AUTOMATICA N°35 series from Colette.
The Mimi Switch Remote Control look like a set of earbud headphones designed for an iPod. Insert these into your ears and “A wink, a smile or a raised eyebrow could change your music on your iPod or start up the washing machine.”
This gadget has a series of infrared sensors built into it that detect inner ear movements that occur as a result of facial expressions.
Just like the original medieval tournament, the aim is to knock your opponent off his horse. Fun face-to-face competition with realistic movements.
- Playable on almost any surface
- Horses measure 7¾”/20cm long
- Comes with 2 horses and 2 remote controllers/chargers
- Uses 4 AA and 2 9v batteries, not incl.
We’ve come across a variety of remote control gadgets but were floored (or should I say roofed) when we heard about the Air Hog remote control zero gravity micro car.
Sure, the economy has gone down the toilet and you should probably save your money, but heck, how can you pass up on this remote control golfer. Perfect for the office where you can take a break to practice some putting when the volume of paperwork prevents you from actually heading out to the golf course.
Test your skills with the remote control golfer as you position him, choose his club (from a driver, an iron, or a putter) and swing away! Variable power swing control allows you to apply just the right amount of power to your shots whether you’re driving or putting. Address the ball after each show with your fully directional remote control which also serves as a golf bag to store your clubs when not in use.

Over and over, we see that some of the coolest toys released get there start in Japan. Here is another fine example. R/C Mechagodzilla will have some kids, and probably some adults salivating to get there hands on one of these.
This remote control gadget does it all. Standing 20 inches tall, Mechagodzilla has some impressive features including spinning rocket launcher fingers and toes. Best of all is the Exorcist impression Mechagodzilla can do with his 360 degree head spin.
