Kansai’s finest came up editors@digitalworldtokyo.com This week’s Digital Content Expo at Miraikan is one of the less corporate tech shows on the Tokyo calendar, so it’s no surprise to see some pretty kooky engineering like the Funbrella from a grad-student team at Osaka University. Kansai’s finest came up with the concept of ‘tele-rain’ to allow anyone holding the Funbrella to experience what it might be like to get caught in a hailstorm on a sunny day, a shower of marbles, or even a downpour of snakes and hamburgers. Er, yeah. If that makes no sense at all, then check out their vid for an explanation – skip to 1min 40secs in if you just want the hardcore science. Basically, they’ve connected a computer and a vibrating mechanism based on audio speaker technology to an ordinary umbrella and let their imaginations run riot. I asked Associate Professor Yuichi Itoh what started it all: “The main theme of our laboratory is to develop novel user interfaces with virtual reality technology. So, our students decided to create something new with the technologies researched in our laboratory.” But why the umbrella theme? “At that time, we had lots of so-called [sudden downpours of] guerrilla rain [in other parts of Japan]. The TV news spoke of its impact on our daily lives, but we had never experienced it, [so] we decided to develop the Funbrella to experience various kinds of rain, with the technology generating accurate vibrations.” More romantically, the team suggests it could help folk separated by physical distance share the feeling of gutsing out the same storm together, perhaps while talking on the phone. As for commercial applications, there aren’t really any yet, but Itoh and his crew are all ears if you have any suggestions for the Funbrella.

The gorilla tube from German startup Gorilla came about when former racing editors@digitalworldtokyo.com Although it’s not exactly our remit on Digital World Tokyo to cover iPhone cases, the latest high-end protector from Europe is so exceptional, it’s clearly worth a quick rundown. The gorilla tube from German startup Gorilla came about when former racing cyclist Tobias Wittkobf decided to use bicycle frame carbon to build a protective shell for his laptop. When the iPhone hit the market, however, the tube was born instead. First observation is that this is one slick-looking iPhone case like no other. Made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, the tube is as tough as nails, or as the company itself rather honestly says, “super strong, light and very expensive.” That last bit explains the hefty price tag of 80 euros ($117/¥10,480), but is it worth that kind of outlay? In short, if you’re interested in the most unusual, eye-catching iPhone case on the market, then the answer is yes, but there are caveats. The gorilla tube is, essentially, an open-ended sleeve that grips the iPhone tightly, with a nylon strap called the flipstrap passing right through the case and stopping the phone falling out the bottom. The idea is that you pull the flipstrap to make the phone pop up and into your hand. You can see it in action in the YouTube video below – a slick piece of design engineering. However, the fit is really snug and it took me around a week of use before it eased up enough to make using the gorilla tube a comfortable experience. That’s probably because my iPhone is already protected by an invisibleShield skin from Zagg, so do keep that in mind if you have any kind of shield on your phone now. That minor gripe aside, the gorilla tube is now my iPhone case of choice for two reasons – it’s tough and it looks amazing. There are two varieties – the black Carbon or the wood-look Nature Edition – and a generous offer from Gorilla to refit the case should the felt inner or flipstrap get worn at all. What’s not to like? {extended} Technology,news,cellphones,computers,software,Japan,Tokyo,gadgetsAlthough it’s not exactly our remit on Digital World Tokyo to cover iPhone cases, the latest high-end protector from Europe is so exceptional, it’s clearly worth a quick rundown.

Combine that expertise with its emerging robotics know-how and this is what you get – the world’s first robot bed that lifts the occupant up when needed and transforms itself into a wheelchair that can move off on its own. Panasonic’s press release explains the thinking behind the project: “As the robot can transform itself from a bed into a wheelchair and vice versa at the command of the user, it eliminates not only the need for the user to transfer between the bed and a wheelchair but also the risks and burden associated with the transfer. The robot can also expand the user’s range of activities. Now, the user can join the family meal by converting the bed into a wheelchair and moving to the dining table without the need of assistance from other people.” There’s nothing online yet, as the new machine will make its debut along with the latest high-tech beds at the International Home Care &amp; Rehabilitation Exhibition (H.C.R. 2009) in Tokyo between September 29 and October 1, 2009, but you can download the press release [PDF] right here. {extended} Technology,news,cellphones,computers,software,Japan,Tokyo,gadgetsPanasonic has a long history of supplying high-tech medical devices to institutions throughout its home country of Japan.
