New device to preserve personal space in crowded environments :-)

Thos shoulder level animated spikes look vicious.

Seriously, is it a exoskeleton for the film industry or performance arts, to waeear under a costume?

So if it takes readings, is it some sort of personal health diagnostic machine?

We have a winner. Graham you have guessed the use of the mystery tool.

Intel Spider Dress

This 3D printed dress was created by Intel’s Anouk Wipprecht who works on wearable projects. The dress has built in robotic spider legs that offer self defense in the form of pokes when someone invades your personal space, driven by sensors and biometric signals. This is definitely one of the weirdest gadget designs that was shown at CES 2015 but it will be interesting to see how the technology can be adapted for more everyday garments.

Pm on the way.

Wooah, That was only as a joke!

I really wasn't expecting a win. & have only just noticed it. (23:00 here)

I'll try to find something worthwhile tomorrow. Going to bed now, as we've been busy all evening.
Happy Crunching,

Graham

It is a cup warmer. It keeps your cup at a preset temperature. It fits in one of the circular wiring hole cutouts in your desk.

Nothing to do with a vacuum cleaner

Not a cup heater, there are no power connections to it.

Not a desk attachment, or a cup level or holder.

Celt, I most certainly hope not!

The cup of tea was only there to prop it up for the edge shot.
Happy Crunching,

Graham

Time for a clue?

The speckles you can see on the disc are dust particles, & are not normally there.
