Review - Antec Veris A/V Cooler
I love it when a large box arrives at the door, and I know its another cool product to review, the latest one I received was the Antec Veris A/V Cooler.
If you have a lot of HiFi or AV Equipment, then you probably know how hot it can get, when it is all stacked on top of each other.
The Antec Veris A/V Cooler is designed to sit in between your HiFi or Home Cinema components and keep everything nice and cool.
I have to admit it looks pretty good in between my HiFi set up, the top is made from aluminum so it looks pretty stylish, it is also thin and lightweight, measuring about 1.8 inches tall.
As you can see from the photos, there are two large fans underneath the unit, which are surprisingly quiet. These large fans draw the heat from the unit sitting on top of the Veris and direct the hot air out of the back of the unit.
There are two settings for the fans low and high, on the low setting the fans run at around 1200 rpm and you can hardly hear anything, on the higher setting the fans run at around 1600rpm, the sound on this setting is slightly more noticeable but not noticeable enough to distract you from you HiFi.
Overall the Antec Veris A/V cooler is a good solution to keep your expensive HiFi or Home Entertainment kit nice and cool and for the retail price of $89.99 its pretty reasonable.

Nokia Scentory Phone
This Scentsory concept phone by Nokia uses the human senses of sight, sound, touch and even smell for a multi-sensory experience. It has the basic audiovisual features, but Scentsory could also detect, transmit and emit smells, as well as radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the caller’s environment. It has a sort of electronic nose that works with highly sophisticated sensors. The nose samples the odor of the caller’s environment and transmits this to the recipient electronically. Apparently this works due to distinct genetic patterns that are associated with every odor, and it’s simply a matter of matching electrical harmonics with gene activity. The perception of a smell by electrical stimulation could be technologically induced.
The dual-screen mobile has an LED touchpad, speakers, a camera and temperature sensors.

Sleeping driver alarm system
Toyota is currently working on a system to alert drivers when they fall asleep. The eye monitoring camera in the dashboard first stores the normal position of your eyelids and then monitors them for any signs of drowsiness or lack of attention. If it looks like you are falling off to sleep an alarm sounds.
The Lexus LS600H already has a face monitoring system in front of the driver that emits a loud alarm if it catches you spending too long looking away from the road and will apply the brakes if it thinks a crash is imminent. Via Gizmodo

Otto the sound enhancer
Check out this sound enhancer called Otto designed by Duncan Wilson with a collaboration with Manolis Kelaidis of IDE at the Royal College of Art.
We designed OTTO (Greek for ‘ear’); a device that makes hidden sounds audible. This is achieved via a thin polymer piezoelectric contact that senses weak vibrations and plays them as a sound through an integrated speaker. OTTO can be positioned on almost any surface through a combination of suction and magnets. By placing several units on different objects, one can select and create a new sonic experience and a form of ambient music appreciation, thereby utilising our space as a multidirectional audio platform.
