Colour Picking Pen

Beginning with software like Adobe Photoshop, graphic designers have seen numerous advancements that have made their work into child play. To add to this long collection of brilliant hardware and software developments, we have the Color-picking Pen that is capable of reading RGB values from your computer (just like the color picker tool in Photoshop) with the help of a camera and RGB sensor. These RGB values are later used to mix up an ink color that matches it, using the RGB cartridge, thus enabling users to draw with the exact same color that they see on their screen. This pen greatly bridges the gap between digital art and the canvas. It allows artists to pull out salient features of both fields.

Picture Story Teller

Do you like to write down stories with your pictures? Or just want to recall your memories forever. Here comes an interesting gadget  for you! With each picture you put on a little sticker and the device scans that sticker. It will then play the story that goes with it out loud. The kit comes with 500 stickers, so you do have a limit on the number of pictures you can do this on. Just if the device gets compromised you can back up your recordings on your computer.

Zenith Watch

In a veritable technical revolution, ZENITH Manufacture has devised the Zero-G system, in other words zero gravity! The gyroscope cage Tourbillon comprises an escapement mounted on cardan joints rather like marine chronometers. The instrument, which is sensitive to changes of position, is kept in a constant horizontal position, thereby ensuring optimal amplitude for the spiral balance-wheel. Coordination is provided by an invention patented by ZENITH: a second gear train is the reference point for the swinging of the escapement axles and a differential gear with inverter compensates all the relative movements of the framework. The Zero-G Tourbillon, whose cage alone comprises 166 of the 294 parts that make up the device, 10 conical geared wheels with spiral teeth and 6 ball-bearings, was developed from the El Primero automatic caliber that beats at the record speed of 36,000 vibrations an hour.

Coloured Flame Lights

We have seen artificial candles with LED lights that glow with different colours but never seen real ones. These Coloured Flame Tea lights forgo the standard boring yellowish fire colour in favour of something a bit more interesting. The candles achieve their special colour from a combination of various salts and metals that tint the flame when they burn. Each tea light burns for around 60 minutes.

Spy Pen

This is not an ordinary pen, it's a spy pen. The unique feature of this pen is that it contains a small camera via which high quality pictures can be taken. You can take pictures of other people without them knowing. It contains a 2MB memory. It has a voice system which tells that how much memory is left. You can transfer pictures to your computer using a serial cable and the best part is that you can write with this pen as well.
