Turn-by-turn navigation system needs no internet or GPS

There is a wealth of personal navigation services available in the
marketplace today, but most require GPS or internet connectivity. Not so
with MapOS, which bills itself as "the world's first and only patent
pending turn-by-turn navigation technology for any indoor or outdoor
building or area without using GPS, wifi or an internet signal."

The creation of New Jersey-based MapEverywhere, MapOs already powers the
FastMall retail navigation and shopping app for smartphones. With
point-to-point navigation in a wide range of languages, FastMall is
already in place at more than 1,250 malls in 31 countries around the
world. As of this fall, however, the technology is available to a broad
array of other commercial, institutional, recreational and industrial
venues as well. Airports, universities, museums, hospitals, trade shows
and amusement parks — among others — can now all use MapOS to help their
customers and guests find their way around. Users can search by points
of interest, locate first aid and emergency exits, and use the
software's "Take Me There" feature to be guided directly to their
destination, even choosing whether they wish to avoid stairs. A "Deals
on Map" feature, meanwhile, helps them find deals and discounts.

Available either on a SaaS (Software as a Service) basis or as an
in-house hosted solution, the technology is suitable for use by the
visually impaired. MapOS also offers an integrated advertising platform,
enabling retailers to display promotions on MapOS-powered apps to drive
shoppers and visitors to their stores. The video below demonstrates
MapOS for use in a theme park setting:

Thanks to GPS and the internet, consumers are increasingly accustomed to
using navigational technology in virtually every aspect of their daily
lives. Why not offer an in-house solution of your own, complete with all
the associated advertising possibilities?

Stickers turn cardboard trash into playtime treasure

Box Play for Kids' range of stickers help children creatively convert carboard packaging into a variety of objects and animals ready for play.

Even in today's world where children are being treated to their own range of tablet computers, it's still the case that many are quite content to while away their hours playing with simple cardboard boxes. With that in mind, Arizona-based Box Play for Kids now offer a range of whimsical stickers designed to jump-start kids' imagination when playing with cardboard.

Box Play for Kids launched in October with 22 stickers designed to turn throwaway household boxes into fun toys, encouraging imaginative play and learning. Designed specifically for cereal boxes, egg cartons, milk cartons, shoe boxes, tissue boxes and more, the stickers are made from 100 percent recycled and uncoated paper, meaning kids can embellish them with their own personal flair. Examples include stickers that turn an egg carton into a piano, a milk carton into a cartoon pig or a tissue box into a whale. Pricing ranges between USD 4 and USD 12 each.

There's virtually no limit on upcycling's potential in this eco-conscious era, so why not help the next generation get an early start? Green-minded entrepreneurs: be inspired!

Drone warfare goes nano.

Budget constraints are forcing the UK military to downsize. That means, among other things, pocket size dones. The UK Ministry of Defense has just awarded a contract for deployment of these Prox Dynamics PD-100 Personal Reconnaissance System nano-UAVs for deployment to Afghanistan.

Each of these little helicopters weights only 15 grams, has GPS, is remote controlled and has a live-feed video camera. Soldiers will fly them into buildings to gather intel before kicking the door down and going inside. Future versions will have night vision.

I want one.

Living In a ShoeBox

Living In a ShoeBox:


Shoebox Dwelling: How delightful is this? Swedish company Matroshka Furniture AB managed to squeeze living room, dining room, bedroom and study in just 15m2 (about 160 square feet). This was achieved by inventing a piece of furniture that is able to transform into all of the above spaces. Matroshka system was inspired by Russian nesting dolls. Here too pieces fit into each other and save space.
