The days of air-punching invisible
Daleks and making your own sound effects are over: a team from
Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction course have built a glove that does it all for you. The Augmented Hyper-Reality Glove can identify upper-cuts and karate chops using flex and tilt sensors and play the accompanying sound effect using an
Arduino-powered
Adafruit wave shield. We can see some potential downsides — flirtatious finger-gun fusillades accompanied by the sound of cannon fire might just ruin your date. If you’re undaunted by such social faux pas, see the toy your inner-child always wanted in action after the break.

Been searching for an MP3 player that can do it all, including whisper sweet nothings in your ear? Behold the iRiver T9, a slim, Barbie pink number with screen savers that say, “I love you” and “enjoy your life.” For such a gimmicky device, it actually offers a healthy feature set, including an FM radio, voice recorder, step and calorie counters, a built-in USB connector, and the ability to shake to skip. Too bad the storage taps out at a puny 4GB. No word on pricing, but for now you can peep a less patronizing color palette in the gallery below and head past the break to play a game sweeping the Engadget staff: “spot the MP3 player in the video of dancing schoolgirls.”

The Segway might or might not be the coolest mode of transportation, depending on your preferences, but there’s no denying that they’re fairly expensive. If you’ve always wanted to own one but couldn’t find the funds, perhaps you might want to put your DIY skills to good use.
A project dubbed Segstick is available online, giving you detailed instructions on how to come up with your own Segway unit. The project uses cheap materials such as a broomstick, two DeWalt cordless drills to power it, and 6-inch wheels. Of course, it doesn’t look as polished as a real Segway, but it’s probably something you could come up with over the weekend with minimal cost.
