Google just announced his Project Soli. In a nutshell, is a radar so small it can be integrated in a smart watch, works through materials, and is able to detect micro movements. It's like the Leap Motion, but in nano scale. The potencial here is huge. See the video:

Holy shit! During the morning I found an article about patents from Magic Leap, and spent the rest of the day drooling. But 20 minutes ago, I got totally flabbergasted:

I so want to give you my money.

Uau, double uau. The guys from MIT did it again:

We are a step closer to distanceless sex™.

WiTrack is a device that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room.

WiTrack localizes the center of a human body to within 10 to 13 cm in the x and y dimensions (about the size of an adult hand), and 21 cm in the z dimension. It also provides coarse tracking of body parts, identifying the direction of a pointing hand with a median of 11.2 degrees.

Great for gaming, controlling household appliances and elderly monitoring & fall detection.

Watch the video and be amazed with the accuracy:

In 1980, the American Helicopter Society (AHS) International established the AHS Sikorsky Prize, which would award the first human powered helicopter to meet the following requirements:

• The flight must last 60 seconds or more;
• The aircraft must reach at least 3 meters of altitude;
• The center point of aircraft must stay inside a 10x10 meters square.

For 33 years a lot of people tried to win the prize, and on June 13th 2013 the award was finnaly won by AeroVelo, a team of students and professors from the University of Toronto.

Congratulations guys, Da Vinci would be proud.
