For those of you that have a smartphone of some kind, you might want a more convenient way to watch all of those videos.  Sure, you could just hold onto it, but that’s not nearly as much fun.  It’s much nicer to just kick back and pretend you’re back home sitting on your comfortable couch watching a movie on your TV.  Well thankfully although this stand will make your phone look a little creepy, it’ll make it so that you can watch videos while you’re away from home in true comfort. These Spiderpodiums are extremely lightweight and are compact enough to slip into your pocket.  It’s compatible with most compact handheld devices.  That includes things like normal cellphones, smartphones, gaming systems, MP3 players, camcorders and even portable projectors.  These aren’t out just yet, but they are available for pre-order.  They’ll cost you £14.99 or about $23 and will be out on March 29th.

Curious Displays from Julia Tsao on Vimeo . Okay, I usually like to have a still shot of what I’m reporting, but could only find this video. However, a picture wouldn’t say a thousand words on this, and this video speaks volumes.

I realize that most of you cannot stand it when someone’s cell phone rings during the theater, but imagine watching a film that was dependent on having a cell phone call from an audience member during the film. This is the technology from Last Call from 13th Street, an interactive horror film. Sometime, during the movie, an audience member’s cellular phone will ring, and it is up to this audience member to give the character on screen directions.

Clearly, we are going to live in an age where “technology” and “furniture” will be synonymous. For example, if you have a couch or a bed, then it had better be set up with an Internet radio and vibrating feature.

When you put your camera into the camera bag, usually it means you’re done.  Then of course as soon as you zip up that bag, there will be a great shot that you missed.  It just always seems to work that way.  Well instead of missing important pictures, now you can own a bag that lets you take all of the pictures you want without removing it from the bag.  You’ll still have the benefit of just looking like you’re carrying around a normal bag, but secretly you’re still fully capable of taking pictures.

If you’re very careful about the water you drink, perhaps it’d be easier to carry one of these around.  Instead of just having a filter on your faucet or on a pitcher in your fridge, you can have a portable one.  It might make you feel better about drinking tap water while you’re out and about.  Plus, for those of you that like to travel to foreign countries, if you’re worried about the water, you could always take this with you.

We’ve already talked about how a mirror at a Japanese store can show customers what make-up looks like without putting it on their faces. This conceptual ad campaign from Nooka also uses augmented reality, and it shows how a watch will look like without actually wearing it. As you can see by the video, Nooka wants to put this weird paper band in major magazines.

Well you’ve gotten yourself an iPhone and now you have the tricky business of picking out a case that’s just as awesome as your iPhone.  Thankfully Nugo Designs has just the solution out there for you.  It’s not just your average silicone case that protects your iPhone or iPod Touch from scratches.  It actually morphs your iPhone into an action figure.  What more could you ask for in a case?! Usually the only way a case stands out is by being able to protect your iPhone from harsh conditions.  Which really isn’t actually necessary if you’re not a great outdoors man or anything.  Sure this Robotector won’t waterproof it or prevent it from being damaged when you drop it off of a cliff.  It’s still awesome though, because now your iPod Touch has arms, legs and even a face.  These are currently being featured at the Toy Fair , but I haven’t seen any info on pricing.

If there was one company that makes augmented reality, I would buy stock in it. After all, I’ve seen augmented reality in just about everything from mirrors to video goggles . I suppose it was just a matter of time before people starting putting augmented reality tattoos on their flesh, and this Beunos Aries-based software producer has done it through a company known as ThinkAnApp.
