AirMouse lets you wear it like a glove

Canadian firm Deanmark's wearable mouse comes almost close to aping the glove interface worn by Tom Cruise's character in Minority Report. Though it's no power glove or highly calibrated gaming hand sock like the Peregrine gauntlet, the AirMouse does seem capable of addressing repetitive strain injuries. Even with the best of ergonomic mice at your fingertips, there's no avoiding wrist fatique. Take it from yours truly.

Since a certain late entertainment icon has made the one-gloved look chic, you shouldn't feel weird out donning the AirMouse around your palm. This rodent works on wireless, uses an optical laser, runs a week on a single charge, and is said to be pretty fast and accurate as it functions by aligning itself with the ligaments of your hand and wrist.

EntroSys Motorcycle Air Conditioner for the biker real soon

These days, with everything being untethered, it's strange to see a biker getting tubed up to his chariot. Then again, you'd do it, too, if you're stuck in traffic under the sweltering tropical sun. The idea of piped-in airconditioning on a motorbike isn't new. We caught wind of a prototype back in 2004, when Israeli physics professor Glen Guttman unveiled his compact A/C solution which rides pillion and siphons off the motorcycle battery to hoses cold or heated air to a thermal vest worn under the motorcyclist's jacket. A wireless controller mounted on the bars controls the temperature.

An ice-packing helmet that could save lives

It's Eureka moments like these that make for great stories. Two Brit pals play basketball. Elbow of friend meets head of buddy. Ice packs get handed out for injuries. Friend dumps pack in buddy's motorcycle helmet to relieve chilled fingers. Buddy accidentally dons helmet with ice pack inside. And instead of bobbing friend one on chin, exclaims how good it feels. Light bulb goes off as friend conceives brain-cooling helmet that could save biker lives.

Elastic Water, but can you drink it?

Think Silly Putty, and you'll probably have a very good idea what the brains at Japan's Tokyo University have created. The new material, called Elastic Water, retains its Flubber-like consistency by mixing a few grams of clay and organic matter to H20, essentially binding the whole into a jelly-like putty.

The aqua substance isn't headed for toy retail outlets, though we won't be surprised if it does spin off in that direction. For now, its intention is more visionary and intended to facilitate quick tissue attachment. The Japanese are also looking to increase the density of the substance for use as ecologically clean plastic materials.

We say it'll be even more brilliant if they find a way to convert their creation back into potable liquid at a snap, so Elastic Water can be easily ferried to disaster zones where water supplies have been disrupted.

Sleep Suit for portable siesta anywhere

We're seen all kinds of strange-looking sleep gear, from the Selky sleepbag you wear to bed to the Vertical Bed you can lug along. But a sleepsuit that lets you swaddle yourself in a cocoon for a siesta anywhere? If you don't get mistakenly rolled out with the trash, or carted off to the Egyptian mummies gallery of the Antiquities museum, that's a start.
