Engineers working at Eyebeam, a New York arts and technology center, are radically engaged in cutting down the cost involved in making of multitouch tables by offering them open-source. Schematics for the Cubit, a multi-touch tabletop exhibit are accessible online for individuals interested in designing their own Microsoft Surface at a cost less than one tenth of the Surface’s price. Called Cubit, this boxy tabletop comes with a clear surface.

To get started, the proud would-be owner of the multi-touch table needs to have a webcam with an infrared filter and a small image projector. All you need to do is to plug in the webcam, install the Cubit software and turn on the projector and start moving. Eyebeam guys Addie Wagenknetch and Stefan Hechenberger share that they were liberating the Cubit to highlight the visibility that anyone can build a multitouch table.
In addition to designs and online software’s, the duo would be selling DIY kits featuring instructions and parts.

Lately, the Cubit was exhibited 0at the Maker Faire together with handful of other open-source multi-touch projects. Initially open-source focused only upon software but with time DIYers like Eyebeam andBug Labs are now taking the attitude into the dominion of hardware as well.

Folks, I cannot buy this argument that wearable chairs have lost its importance today as it was patented almost 30 years ago. Take a deep peep into the product and you would realize it is as haute today as it was ages back. Probably its appeal and recognition has got its worthy recognition today as the Gen X welcomes innovation unlike our predecessors.

This chair is strapped on the backside of your legs and offers you a comfy seat wherever you want to sit. This would be your savior when you enter an overpopulated conference room or plays a trick by peeking into the movie theater. The inventor of this chair Darcy Robert Bonner filed a patent for it on 7 May1977 for 14-good years.

In the mid way this product was lost somewhere. Now that it has again reached the limelight, it should be picked as an opportunity to turn this dream into reality.
