Stunning examples of the Droste effect

"An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of itself in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This smaller version then depicts an even smaller version of itself in the same place, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration exponentially reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system of instancing." Wikipedia

JetLev Flyer, the amazing water-propelled jetpack!

Invented by Designer Ramke, the JetLev Flyer can get you to an altitude of up to 10 meters, has a top speed of 30mph and is able to travel up to 200 miles before actually needing to be refueled. Obviously its use is restricted to water, but this way, if something goes wrong and you fall down you are simply taking a dive in the water.Yippee!

Miruko - wearable robotic eye interface

"Miruko" is a wearble eyeball-shaped robotic interface. The main objective of the robot system is to extend our body and sensing ability. The eyeball robot has a wi-fi module in order to communicate with host computer or with other devices and has a wireless CMOS camera embedded in the iris of the robot.
In this video, Miruko’s creators demonstrate how the robotic eyeball can be used as an interface for a virtual monster-hunting game played in a real-world environment.

For example, to turn the volume up or down , simply make clockwise or counter-clockwise gestures with the wand, and to change the channel either flick it up or down.

Super Mario Fingernails

Nailchick27's (photobucket user) handpainted Super Mario 3 fingernails are awesome. But i have to admit that such long fingernails could come in the way of fun and productive gameplay.
