  • KeyMe allows you to instantly make duplicate copies of your keys by storing a digital copy

  • of your keys so you never get locked out again.... and it'll open your beer

  • And the Marshall Dicycle is an electric motorcycle concept that doubles as amplifiers when instruments

  • are plugged in.

  • Vsauce! Kevin here - this is Mind Blow.

  • The cafe latte printer allows customers to drink their own face. Let's Cafe - is a kiosk

  • in taiwanese convenience stores that is offering customers the opportunity to print any picture

  • taken from their phone instantly onto the top of their latte. It works by dusting the

  • image with an edible powder with a computer-controlled print head.

  • The LiveMap helmet was created by russian inventors to make a motorcycle helmet with

  • built in navigation. The helmet creates translucent full color images and text in the visor giving

  • the rider the ability to check speed, time, and get directions without taking their eyes

  • off the road like traditional navigation. It's only slightly larger than a normal helmet

  • and adjusts depending on the lighting outside. If the indiegogo amount is achieved they plan

  • to sell them for around $2000.

  • Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a device that controls cockroaches

  • using an Xbox Kinect. They created an interface that sends the roach on a predetermined track

  • by using a computer to plot its course. Researchers wire sensors to the roach's external sensory

  • organs causing it to move forward and small charges in the neural tissue tricks the roach

  • into thinking its antennae are hitting a barrier causing it to turn.

  • Scientists in Japan cloned this mouse from only a drop of blood of the donors tail!

  • Tokyoflash created the Kisai watch that lets users know whether or not they are intoxicated

  • through the use of a built in breathalyzer. By blowing into a hole located in the side

  • of the watch for five seconds the watch glows green if it detects no alcohol, yellow if

  • alcohol is detected but you are in the legal limit, and red if you are legally drunk. The

  • watch also has a built in sobriety test that asks the user to stop a moving line at a certain

  • point on the screen.

  • Sensoria are a pair of socks that are able to track the way people walk. Developed by

  • Heapsylon, by using a bluetooth enabled anklet in conjunction with the socks the sensors

  • in the socks transmit the data to a computer or smartphone. Sensoria can determine improper

  • walking or running habits or if the foot is landing at an unsafe angle during particular

  • activities.

  • WI-Vi is a prototype handheld device that researchers at MIT have created in order to

  • see through walls. Users will be able to point the device at walls and see anything moving

  • on the other side. WiVi works by emitting wifi signals at the wall where some of those

  • signals bounce off of the moving objects on the other side and back to the device. Wivi

  • could be used in multiple applications including aiding police and rescue workers or creating

  • verybetter motion controlled gaming systems.

  • Archaeologists have recently discovered that flowers have been used at funerals for 13,000

  • years.

  • This self-burying robot was presented by the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute

  • in May of 2013. The plans to use self burying robots range from mining to military applications.

  • This robot is able to travel to its location in one mode and then bury itself in another.

  • Shown in this video digging through various things such as rice, sand, flour, and sugar,

  • but it's still in the developmental stages and they're trying to make more efficient

  • versions.

  • This bike helmet is made from recycled paper pulp. It was created by students from the

  • Royal College of Art in London by making a pulp out of old newspapers they mixed with

  • an adhesive, pigment, and organic additive. They claim to be rain proof for up to six

  • hours and can be recycled again after being used to make more helmets. Though wearing

  • these may be better than no protection it's still unclear the actual safety of the helmets.

  • The Termes Project is developing self-organizing simple robots building 3-D structures. Based

  • upon the building abilities of termites - the robot is able to navigate, lift blocks and

  • build structures much larger than itself and the researchers at Harvard University are

  • looking into ways to further develop automated construction.

  • Finally, Minsu Kim's Living food project is a concept involving food that moves on the

  • plate and in your mouth by building on developments in synthetic biology.

  • I'm going to leave you with a barrel of ping pong balls on fire. And as always - thanks

  • for watching.
