Wrist Mounted Finger Piano
We know that you can’t afford a real grand Piano and that’s one big
reason keeping you away from the Grammy. But worry no more. Japanese
engineers have created a cool geek gadget that gives you your own
personal Piano. All you have to do is wrap it up on your wrist and slip
your fingers in the buttons and start playing. How does it work? It’s
pretty simple. Just find a suitable flat surface and start pressing your
finger-buttons. Each button plays a different note when you press it.
The finger Piano is capable of delivering full octave and even comes
with three volume levels & three sound banks. The sound banks is the
feature that adds pizza to this gadget. For example, sound bank 1 offers
you Piano and sound bank 2 gets you bells. Sound bank 3 is ‘cat’,
letting you play full scale & chords. Yep, that’s right!

Weight-Loss Glasses 'Trick Brain Into Thinking
Food Is Bigger'
Japanese inventors have designed a hi-tech (and slightly bonkers) device
that claims to help people lose weight – and it involves a pair of
‘slimming spectacles’ that trick the brain into thinking that food is
50% bigger than it really is. The ‘Meta Cookie+’ gadget has been
developed by a team of researchers from Tokyo University, Japan and was
showcased at Tokyo's Digital Content Expo. The virtual tasting headgear
screens a larger-looking image of the food in front of the wearer and
supposedly suppresses the appetite by tricking the brain’s perception of
food size. After trialling the gadget, researchers claim those who wore
the food goggles, ate 9.3% less than those who didn’t try out the specs.

PowerPot charges USB devices while cooking
Kickstarter projects like the PowerPot could come as a breath of fresh
air amidst as the advanced gadgets we’ve been seeing lately. The device
in question is apparently capable of powering any USB gizmo by
harnessing thermoelectric power. In other words, apart from functioning
as a mainstream cooker, the pot requires just heat and water to juice up
any device. It uses all sorts of fuel such as open wood fires, gas or
propane and is designed to work in varied weather conditions. It has
been made in two forms dubbed the PowerPot V and PowerPot X.“There are
over 200 million people in Africa that use cell phones but lack access
to electricity. Some must walk over a mile and spend over 15% of their
monthly income just to charge their phone,” commented Power Practical
CFO Caleb Light. “It is difficult to keep in touch with loved ones or do
business off-grid. Since most people faced with this problem cook on an
open fire, the PowerPot fits perfectly into their routine.” The V claims
to generate up to 5W electricity and can supposedly charge all forms of
handheld devices like mobile phones or music players in a span of 60 to
90 minutes. Also, this variant is relatively small as it tips the scales
at less than a pound. On the contrary, the X model is heavier and
delivers about 10W output. It can power gadgets that require more energy
to function like tablets and more.
