Pokémon Onix Made With A 3D Printer

Posted: 12 May 2014 07:00 AM PDT

3D Printed Onix Pokemon by Amphigory Design

A 3D-printed Onix has appeared, and you can capture it thanks to Amphigory Design.

I'm a big super fan of Generation 1 Pokémon – heck, I started with Pokémon Red on the Game Boy for Pete's sake. So obviously seeing Onix, one of my favorites from back in the day (old school for life, yo!), getting made into a plastic toy like this makes me smile.

Etsy shop Amphigory Design created this awesome-looking 24" scale model of the rock-type Pokémon from a 3D printer – and not – presumedly captured in the wild, tall grasses of the Kanto region. This Onix is just a neat plastic toy, but boy it sure does put the fear of a Rock Tomb attack in you thanks to its spot-on appearance.

The Onix toy is also incredibly flexible due to its wire-frame backbone, and allows for a good range of poses – there’s also a stand-still version Amphigory can make for you as well, if you like. Each one is made-to-order, and can be asked in different sizes, all for $85.95 USD. Here, check out some of the fun ways you can pose Onix by watching this video.

7 Artworks of Frozen as a Tim Burton Movie

Posted: 12 May 2014 06:00 AM PDT

Elsa & Anna

The world still hasn’t gotten over the awesomeness of Frozen, but could it have been even better? Maybe not not better, but certainly different, if a filmmaker such as Tim Burton, with a unique and very different style to this specific Disney flick, would have gotten his hands on it.

Elsa & Anna

 

Who knew two sweet princesses could make a catchy tune and playing with ice into such a creepy, nightmare-inspiring moment?

Just Anna

 

It seems that Anna had quite a lot to drink the night before Elsa’s coronation.

Anna & Hans

 

A very charming prince with 12 older brothers, but behind the quite handsome and pleasant mask, there’s a devilish villain no one expected.

Just Elsa

 

Her hair was tidier in ‘Frozen’.

Olaf, Sven & Trolls

 

A talking snowman? Rock-Trolls? A moose that seems to have a bromance with a human being? That’s weird, but the Tim-Burton style makes it even weirder.

Kristoff & Anna

 

The chemistry and tension cannot be denied.

Princess Sisters

 

This is how it was always meant to be.

NASA’s New Z-2 Spacesuit Is The Weirdest Spacesuit Ever

Posted: 12 May 2014 05:00 AM PDT

Z-2 Spacesuit 1

In anticipation of the first manned expedition to Mars, NASA has been working on some new spacesuit ideas, out of which the Z-2 is particularly interesting.

What you see in the picture is the spacesuit known as the Z-2: it’s a next-gen one piece with some amazing features like allowing astronauts to slide from a pressurized vehicle into the suit by removing the life support system and the hatch cover. The Z-2 improves over the Z-1 by adding a hard torso for extra resistance, and better ergonomic shapes on the shoulders and hips.

What makes this suit really cool, though, is the crazy TRON-style lighting, which was voted by the public as the best exterior for the suit. It’s meant to provide extra visibility, but the whole thing makes it look sort of like Buzz Lightyear.

OMsignal’s Workout Clothes Share Biometric Data with Your Smartphone

Posted: 11 May 2014 12:30 PM PDT

OMsignal Smart Fitness Shirt

The compression garments developed by OMsignal collect vital details about your workout and send them to your smartphone, so you can quantify yourself and your performance over various periods of time.

The term wearable tech has a more literal meaning with each passing day. Biometric sensors are moving from wristbands and smartwatches to smart clothes and socks. After all, the best way to track fitness performance is to cover as great of a body area as possible.

Stéphane Marceau, CEO and co-founder of OMsignal, explained the necessity for biometric shirts: “We’ve been wearing clothing all our lives. It’s the most natural and therefore the ultimate ‘wearable’ medium. Clothing has always been about protection and fashion, but it will now also help motivate us to better ourselves every day. You would never drive a car without a speedometer, RPM or a fuel gauge, right? Well, with OM, you now get a dashboard to better steer your life, to increase your self-mastery, to push your fitness performance, and live a healthier lifestyle.”

Marceau also explained how the technology behind biometric sensors evolved in the recent years, and how wearables based on such sensors became a reality: “Exercise physiology research has defined human performance through intricate lab studies, but the technologies researchers use were never available for everyday and the aspiring athlete. You could never bring hospital or lab-type equipment with you on the court or track. OMsignal now makes it easy to track biometrics in real time, in real life and during sports activity. At OMsignal we’ve focused on giving consumers quality insights on performance, taking the research a step further to guide users to their peak performance.”

If it wasn’t obvious enough from the previous picture, then I’ll tell you that the OMsignal smart fitness shirts come in four styles: with long or short sleeves, with no sleeves at all and… I can’t seem to be able to pin the fourth style. Anyway, there seems to be a style and size for everybody, regardless if they’re working out indoors or outdoors.

The company is already taking pre-orders, and the biometric shirts are expected to be shipped this summer. A kit comprising a t-shirt and a smart black box that sends biometric data to your smartphone can be owned for $199, but the retail price is expected to be higher.
