Off-roading with a “hoverboard?” Outdoor action photography in lowlight with a Hasselblad? None of this makes sense, but we tried it anyway. When the original OneWheel launched in 2015, we took it for a spin on the Las Vegas strip and fell in love……

If Formula One refers to motor powered vehicles, what type of power do you think Formula Zero might refer to?! The answer is… YOU! The power-assisted Audi Formula Zero trike is perfect for zipping between short distances.
Channeling an uber-minimalist Audi aesthetic, the stripped-down design features a modular structure for easy assembly and maintenance. Its framework consists of aluminum, plastic and composite materials, making it incredibly lightweight yet durable. Safely enclosed within the panoramic glass cockpit, drivers can pedal away while protected from the elements. The unusual trike configuration features a two wheel arrangement in the front and a single wheel at the rear, making it essentially a trike, but giving the driver the feeling of driving a 4-wheeled automobile. Solar panels supplement rechargeable plug-in power so you’re always ready to go so long as the sun is shining!

Today Casio has announced the newst G-Shock, the GPW-2000. The watch features Multiband 6 radio reception, GPS radio wave reception, and the ability to connect via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection is accompanied by a dedicated app that has a flight log function, travel history, automatic time correction, home/world time adjustment, and a world time setting.The GPW-2000 is a GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor with Bluetooth and keeps accurate time anywhere in the world by automatically updating internal data on time zones and daylight savings time (DST). The new GPW-2000 features the new Connected Engine 3-way module from Casio, which always keeps accurate time anywhere in the world. The module employs the world’s first 3-way time sync system*, which receives both radio wave and GPS satellite time calibration signals while also connecting to time servers by pairing with a smartphone. It also automatically updates the watch’s internal data on time zones and DST from a smartphone, keeping it updated at all times…(Read…)

This dress created by wearable tech company Cute Circuit features LED lights placed on graphene panels that change colour with the wearer’s breathing.
The company worked with the National Graphene Institute at The University of Manchester to create the dress, which is the first time graphene has been incorporated into light-up smart clothing.
A band around the waist measures the wearer’s breathing rate, which is repeated in flashing, colour-changing LEDs – placed on transparent and conductive graphene. The lights glow orange and green for shallow breathing, and blue and purple for deeper breaths.
The garment can also be controlled by an app created by the company, to simulate breathing patterns even if not being worn by a person.
Cute Circuit, which was founded in 2004 and specialises in using smart textiles to create wearables, had to work closely with scientists to create graphene sheets of a shape and size that could be used in a dress design – as the material can’t be mass manufactured.
“As graphene has never been used before in fashion we wanted to capture the magic of having transparent areas become active, making the invisible visible,” the company told Dezeen. “When the model walks or interacts with other people the dress surface becomes alive with the activity of her interactions.”
Graphene has been hailed for its strength, conductivity and lightness. The material is made up of carbon atoms densely packed into a hexagonal pattern.
In 2010 the scientists that discovered the material, which is just one atom thick, were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.
“This is a fantastic project. Graphene is still very much at its infancy for real-world applications and showcasing its amazing properties through the forum of fashion is very exciting,” said the National Graphene Institute’s Dr Paul Wiper.
The material has been proposed for everything from ultra-thin “more pleasurable” condoms to night vision contact lenses.
“We are fascinated by the idea of graphene being very lightweight, extremely conductive, and transparent so we can see applications in sportswear and other fashion items where we want to achieve a particular look and performance while using invisible technology,” added Cute Circuit.
The dress made its debut earlier this year at Manchester’s intu Trafford Centre but will also be shown during the city’s Science Festival in October.
