The hullabalo created by men of woman being addicted to shopping is an overt sign of their being envious and a way to hide their unfashionable personae. But ask we woman what all pain we undergo to meet our shopping spree. And upon entering a designer showroom, the aching thought of trying outfits after chasing an unending queue outside trial room almost kills us.

But still hope infuses life into us and we finally rush into the changing room. But within no time, we find ourselves amidst rows of designer dresses and this time picking quite a few with a strong conviction that time we would surely fit in one of those. But no….hot dogs, pasta and other junk food we have had in past is now showing its colors demanding us to look for a size bigger than the last tried. And the process continues until we could manage to find our kind of dress.

Will you believe me that now you don’t have to follow this routine and dull exercise at the same time assuring that you are investing $$$$ for a right outfit. Yes, this would be soon possible via virtual mirror that is expected to shun the need of a trial room.

The ‘Virtual mirror’ enables you see yourself wearing the to-be-picked outfits without even putting off your clothes. Here you go: Put on the T-shirt given by the magic mirror machinist and then opt the design by inserting the particular design insignia on the T shirt. The exhibit then trails the movement of the wearer and records the design of the new attires via its logo and portrays the outlines precisely on the wearer to give the mirror-iamge of what he/she is wearing. Currently, the Virtual Mirror is finding it difficult to produce a pragmatic inkling of T-shirts, shirts or sweaters in an implicit mirror. The technology doing the needful uses composite algorithms to generate 3D images in real-time giving the delusion that the wearer has really put those clothes on.

If that stale thought of contemporary helicopter being considered as mere compilation of spare parts flying in a fine arrangement bothers you, thereby making you revise your plans of getting one developed then here you may have a sigh of relief. Christened as Sikorsky X2, the first flight of the speedy helicopter was scheduled at the Schweizer Aircraft’s rapid prototyping facility in Horseheads, New York and am glad to share that it was successfully accomplished yesterday. The 30-minute flight was a long anticipated marker as it was initially planned to happen around two years ago.

After the testing is done, it is being said that the dual-propped fly-by-wire speedster will explode through the air at 288mph, crowning it the fastest helicopter ever developed in the world. If all plans successfully meet a reality check then the X2’s makers can consider the thought of its civilian production by 2010. Coming to technical specks, the X2 derives its power from a Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Co. (LHTEC) T800 engine that was formerly urbanized for the now obsolete RAH-66 Comanche helicopter.

With its not-so-new design, the helicopter features fly-by-wire controls and sophisticated avionics that engineers wish will contradict the high tremor issues identified in other coaxial rotor designs.

The Draganfly offering of helicopter cameras got a welcoming response buy they say the lately unveiled Draganfly X6 is ultra-appealing. Its triple-tipped carbon fiber structure sports two carbon rotors on both ends and intelligent construction enables it move in all directions swiftly, providing sufficient control to zip about indoors yet oppose up to 18 miles per hour of wind. Monitored by a distant radio, the purpose behind the development of mini helicopter Draganflyer X6 is to lug wireless video cameras and still cameras. They say a pair of glasses would feature the same thing as the hatchet in the air, while you are footing on the floor with the handheld regulator. For safety, reconnaissance, scrutiny, damage assessment, investigation, real estate endorsement, or marketing, it is suggestible to use the high definition motion video provided by the Draganflyer X6 helicopter.

The eminent feature of the Draganflyer X6 is its miniscule structure that allows it to fly indoors againat other full-size helicopters or airplanes and is colossal enough to fly outside in winds at a speed of 30km/h (18mph). It is accessible using 11 sensors and thousands of lines of regulations to self-stabilize during flight.

And hence arouses the higher degree of probability for users ending up compromising with its dull appeal. But the birth of designers and anticipated advent of their creations can be seen as putting “THE END” note to this cause of compromise. Aimed at adding a designer touch to the tedious and lackluster fire extinguisher, here stands a radical refit of the externl appeal. Structured no less than a Shooter, the fire extinguisher is a must-have device for those in love with Nerf guns. The rifle-shaped Shooter extinguisher by designers Eunjung Kim, Yangwoo Kim and Junyi Heo features fully loaded CO2 cartridges, enabling you slay off small accidental fires in the environs (as huge fires can only be cooled down using fire brigade).

Designers have done their job well now its manufacturers turn to flaunt their expertise.
