hey guys my name is Steven B Sherman here just happening this week that's great the light bandit sucks natural light into your home and allows you to redistribute it using a long straw-like fiber-optic tube you simply place this square box shaped device into your window and well up you have a light tube that will pour natural light into any space of your house for free the box according to inventor Duncan Earle contains nearly 100 tiny mirrors that rotate very slowly to reflect the sunlight toward a focusing mirror which concentrates the sunlight into the optical fiber the light bandit is currently raising funds on Kickstarter and if you act now they'll throw in a handheld light bandit device for showing off to your friends and a light and at lightsaber sound effect on the Mars levitating speaker features a UFO style disc that floats above a sleek black subwoofer column and that's not all the Mars bluetooth speaker made by the company crazy baby which they probably are is a two-part speaker the cylindrical sub frequency for music and the floating UFO looking thingy is also a speaker pumping out the high and mid-range frequencies the floating part otherwise known as the Mars craft uses magnetic technology developed by levitation arts to float you can take the Mars craft with you making your jams portable and the entire unit will raise its volume or lower it based on how far away you are from the planet the sound comes out of all types of the speaker's filling your area with tunes and it includes two USB ports for charging your devices maybe while you're on a conference call using the Mars feature right now you can pre-order your Mars speaker for $149 at crazy baby calm a team of researchers at the University of Bristol in the department of computer science are using ultrasound technology to create a three-dimensional shape in midair that can be touched and seen by a user ultrasound produces an effect known as acoustic radiation force which the researchers found can be focused into complex patterns in such a way as to cause an air disturbance using this property of ultrasound the researchers are able to create 3d haptic shapes in midair so that users can feel those air disturbances on the skin moreover those patterns can then be formed into different 3d shapes according to a paper published by the research group and the journal ACM transactions on graphics this approach applies to the principles of acoustic radiation force we're by the nonlinear effects of sound produced forces on the skin which are strong enough to generate tactile sensations the user perceives a discernable haptic shape then the corresponding acoustic interference pattern is generated above a precisely controlled two-dimensional phased array of ultrasound transducers I don't know does this look real I don't know leave leave a comment tell me if you think it's real all right guys that's a show thank you very much for watching as always you can find all these news choices CNET's crave blog at crave cnet.com make sure you full of crave on twitter at crave and make sure to vote in this week's crave poll what is your reaction to the new Star Wars trailer go to the blog and enter your Bo a vocal Toa mr.
