Toilets in Japan are definitely high tech, no doubt about it, and here we have another special model from Daiwa House that targets the elderly in mind. Known as “Intelligence Toilet”, this toilet is smart enough to perform an analysis on your urine, measure your blood pressure, body temperature and weight in the process. A gizmo within the bowl itself will be able to determine sugar levels in your urine, while an armband will go about monitoring your blood pressure as you take a leak. The integrated floor scale will also determine your body weight while you sit on the porcelain throne, and all data will be displayed on a wall-mounted computer screen. It will retail for $4,100 to $5,850 depending on the model and make, and is a Japan exclusive only at the moment. Forget about this if you have more than 5 people in your family using the same toilet, since it maxes out at just 5 users in terms of memory storage.
Think about the last time you went swimming. Now think about what else you were doing the last time you went swimming. Nothing! Panicking, maybe. This waterproof Bluetooth headset from the boys at Brando brings multitasking into the deep end.
Theo Kamecke sees beauty in the common circuit board, and thinks they deserve a place in homes and galleries. He’s created a series of dazzling boxes and chests made from salvaged circuitry—though they may not be for everyone.
“The William” stove-top concept isn’t bossy like most stove-tops. It doesn’t stipulate what size your pots and pans should be, or where and how many you can use. This is my dream stove.
From proof of concept to the retail unit, the Ciclotte exercise bike is now on sale for $10,700. Made from carbon fiber, steel and glass, it uses a dual satellite epicycloid system for toning those glutes.
This is a GPS jammer, which is technically illegal to buy and use in the US, so keep that in mind. These types of GPS jammers plug into the cigarette lighter in your car, and will “prohibit GPS signal” up to 10 meters. Ten meters isn’t too far, but it isn’t super close either, so cars next to you might get some GPS interference as you drive down the road. This model is $33.
The “iBusiness” represents the world debut of an absolutely unique luxury sedan that combines the latest Apple components with a powerful Brabus engine. The four-seater based on the Mercedes-Benz S600 reaches a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). It is powered by a BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 12-cylinder engine with a rated power output of 750 hp (740 bhp) / 552 kW and a peak torque of 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft). The designers from BRABUS combine this engine with an innovative multimedia system that features the latest Apple components. Two iPads in the rear compartment not only play movies, music and Internet content, they also control all functions of the S-Class COMAND system.
