This V-shaped drone runs on two silent propellers instead of four noisy ones

Why bother with four propellers when two can easily do the job? Developed by Zero Zero Robotics, the V-Coptr Falcon really ushers in a new design direction for drones, because unlike most drones with anywhere from 4-8 propellers, the V-Coptr Falcon cuts the clutter and opts for just two of them. They fold into the body when packed, and outward into a V-shape when ready to use. The propellers come with the ability to change direction, tilting in a way that’s reminiscent of the Boeing V-22 Osprey. With its innovative dual-rotor format, the bi-copter proves to be just as maneuverable as its four-rotor cousins, and even more silent, thanks to its proprietary stealth-mode propellers. The V-Coptr Falcon also comes with an SNPE neural network engine that helps it sense environments in real-time, allowing it to actively recognize and avoid objects and collisions mid-flight. Mounted on the V-Coptr Falcon’s front is a 3-axis mechanical gimbal that holds the drone’s 12-megapixel CMOS-sensor enabled camera that can shoot in 4K, while its industry-leading 50-minute flight time and 7 kilometer HD transmission of recorded footage allows you to fly higher, further, and for longer!

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...

A lounge chair you can ‘lean on’

Remember the Ovini Balance Stool from last year? The Sway Chair is the Ovini’s bigger brother with a backrest! Designed to be a lounging chair that has the flexibility of perhaps the beanbag, KI’s Sway Chair comes with a hemispherical base that rests on a freely rotating and swiveling base that has 4 legs. The contact points between the seating area and the base have ball bearings concealed within them that allow you to lean forwards, backwards, or even sideways in the chair, choosing a position that’s comfortable for you. With a simple physical action, you can change the chair from a work-chair to a lounger to lean back and relax in. There’s a certain bit of resistance/friction too, which means the chair retains the position you set it in, rather than swinging willy-nilly. Oh, and this one, unlike the Ovini, also comes with a rather nifty backrest as well as an adjustable foot-stool! Designer: KI Yanko Design https://ift.tt/2y1jNWK September 28, 2018 at 09:02PM

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
