This could be filed in the “is it a send up?” folder but you’ve got to give credit to New Scientist; they explain the concept clearly. Bonus points for mentioning super powers too. Video and projection technology deployed to let drivers see “through” walls and therefore be aware of any potential trouble around the corner.
Pay Pie! – Tech for splitting the bill
Pay Pie is my term for this wonderful device. I think it fits. Have you ever had to battle with fair and effective ways to split the bill? I have. Sometimes its easier just to pay the bill yourself than go through the drama of coping with cash, cards and IOUs! Thanks to Geeky Gadgets […]
