Immersit Brings 4D Thrills To Your Digital Experience

Immersit’s 4D Motion Sim For Your Sofa is here to add more excitement to your digital experience at home. Just like a lowrider, we’d say. It works with the same mechanics as a modified lowrider would via hydraulics. The mechanism makes your couch tilt, rotate or vibrate without any grinding noises hence adding awesome motion feedbacks to your virtual reality, home cinema and gaming experience. Technically, it’s more like a 4DX Motion but without wind, fog, mist/rain, scents that most of 4dx theaters offer nowadays.

This motion and vibration inducing device combined with four hydraulic pads are designed to rest under your couch. It can generate high amount of movement patterns and vibrations ranging from explosives to suble: pitches, rolls & heaves, moving users back & forth, from side to side and up & down. Of course, they have tested the weight this discreet device can bear. According to Immersit, it can support many shapes of sofas with up to 1,100 lbs of weight on it. Further they assured your furniture wouldn’t be damaged by movements and vibrations. They have tested the structures under X-Ray Technology to make sure of this thing. Back in July Immersit also said it could handle a couch loaded with four people.

The technology behind the immersit is simple. Four pads (muscles) are attached to one single block that can easily be hidden under any couch and they called it its “brain”. The brain is then attached to its energy source that they called its “heart”; providing energy to the whole system, small and designed. It’s compatible with tons of games and movies listed here. The devices it can support range from Playstation 3 – 4 / X-box 360 – One, PCs and HTC Vive – Oculus Rift.

The awesome invention wasn’t meant to be just another display of ingenuity. Rather, it is a success; getting more than half of its pledged goal under 3 days after launch. As far as the price is concerned, it can’t be an impulse buy if you want to take it for test and stuff. Since, the early bird €449 is already sold out. The cheapest option one can think of comes around $735. Which is no way cheap.

CotoCube – Carbon Fiber Glow In The Dark Dice
It’s always been the dice, deciding good or bad luck for all of us. So, why not spend a little more on something that’s kinda important to us. Dice like CotoCube is what we call a unique gaming accessory. Leaving the ordinary plastic behind, carbon fiber makes it lighter, more durable and stronger than steel (doesn’t mean it can be used as bullets though). At the same time, CotoCube glows in the dark after being exposed to the sunlight. The inserts are made of same material which is normally used in toys and absolutely safe for use.

CotoCube doesn’t only give a better sense of touch and feel but it also improves performance and precision when it comes to rolling the dice on the bumpy boards. The engineering behind each dice is simple and complex. It’s simply a piece of 50 multi-layered solid carbon fiber sheets blended into each other in a quite delicate manner. Each pair of CotoCube comes with a laser-engraved wooden box, so you may keep it classy.

After having a successful hit on the kickstarter, COTO LTD has launched an Indiegogo Campaign on fund the CotoCube Glow In The Dark Dice. Head over to the Indiegogo page to fund the campaign or select a featured perk that offers a pair of dice for $21 only.

Syrian Refugee Wearable Shelter
This ingenious idea is conceived by Harriet Harriss, an interior design teacher at RCA, and her students. To help Syrian refugees who are fleeing to Europe to escape war-torn homeland the designers have created a coat that doubles as sleeping bag.

Dubbed as “Syrian Refugee Wearable Shelter”, this coat is constructed out of Tyvek with Mylar insulation inside. The Tyvek is used on construction site as protective shield against hazards. Both materials are cheap enough for the mass production of affordable shelter.

The wearable shelter works like a parka and features few pockets and a hood too. When unfolded it gives enough space for a parent and a child.

Currently the project “Syrian Refugee Wearable Shelter” is hosted at Kickstarter trying to raise £300,000. The mission is to hand wearable shelter to every refugee who needs it. You can take part in this noble cause by pledging £10.
