Wrist-Watch performing Smart-Phones function

This page is about future gadgets like the cell phone watch and smartwatch. Inventor Eric Migicovsky, a 25-year-old University of Waterloo graduate, presold 85,000 of his future gadgets for delivery to users later this year. The Pebble is a smartwatch that wirelessly connects via bluetooth to an iPhone or Android smartphone and uses smartphone apps.
It's the only smartwatch that does so. The Pebble has various applications that allow users to access information or control devices from their wrist. Besides checking calls, emails, text messages or social media updates, the smartwatch has potentially unlimited applications. Migicovsky will release an open software development kit for it's pebble technology, which will allow developers to design watchapps similar to what Apple did with it's iPhone developer kit. Current Pebble applications include a music control app; a fitness tracker app that monitors stats related to cycling or jogging; a golfing range finder app for 25,000 golf courses; and a sensor app that connects with a device you attach to things you want to communicate with. Migicovsky developed his prototype from cell phone parts but used a high resolution, customizable (different watchfaces) e-paper display, which is a technology that allows the face to be read in direct sunshine or use backlighting when reading in the dark. Battery life is 7 days and is USB rechargeable. It's water resistant, vibrates and will be available in white, black, or red. It will sell for $125.

A new prototype house walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England. The eco-friendly house is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six legs. A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to the walking speed of a human. The legs reguire a software algorithm to calculate the movement and position of the legs to provide stability over varying terrain. The house can turn, move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed with GPS waypoints for travelling to destinations.
