Throw away the HDMI Cable… This wireless display transmitter is the future of presentations

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he’d probably be ranting about HDMI cables. Always one to point out large problems in outdated user experiences, Jobs would clearly have a lot to say about HDMI cables and how they absolutely suck. I mean, they’re basically high definition VGA cables, right?

The fundamental problem with the HDMI cable is that in a world that’s increasingly becoming wireless, the HDMI cable still isn’t. It’s still a struggle to dig through your cable drawer to look for one, then worry about whether your laptop has an HDMI port, then worry whether the cable is long enough. Not too elegant for the fact that we’re living in 2020, right? Well, the guys at MOKiN feel the same way too, which is why they’ve proposed a pretty nifty solution. In a world that’s increasingly becoming wireless, MOKiN lets you extend your screen wirelessly too.

Designed in two parts, a transmitter, and a receiver, MOKiN lets you connect a device to a display without running a clunky, ugly, entangled cable between the two. The transmitter and receiver let you extend your screen wirelessly and seamlessly, offering high-definition images with zero latency. It’s basically an HDMI cable without the cable… or even the HDMI, because the MOKiN’s transmitter runs on a USB-C port!

This means you can easily connect your laptop, tablet, or smartphone to an external display or a projector in a jiffy without worrying about dongles and such. The receiver end still has standard display ports on it, making it compatible with most TV screens or office projectors… and the fact that the setup is wireless means you don’t need to worry about cable length, or worrying that someone may trip over the cable and ruin your entire presentation.

To make things better, the transmitter unit even has its own USB hub, letting you plug pen-drives or SD cards into it and access it right through your device. The transmitter and receiver communicate using low-latency WiFi, and can easily work over distances as long as 10 meters, beaming 1080p content without any problems. The receiver unit has both VGA and HDMI ports, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack, so not only can you plug a variety of device in, you can actually use two simultaneous displays, as well as an external speaker. Yeah, the MOKiN is great for presentations, pitches, and meetings, but this wide slew of features and cross-compatibility make it incredibly great for gaming or even using as Chromecast replacement to beam movies and videos from your phone or tablet with the ease and convenience that would make Steve Jobs really proud…

Boss Katana-Air is a compact wireless guitar amp you can use anywhere

Guitar players wanting to liberate themselves from long instrument cables that tether them to a spot on stage (or clutter up their practice space) usually have to buy a whole system with transmitters and receivers and such. Now, however, Boss has jus...

World’s smallest FM receiver built with graphene, ruined by Psy

Researchers have been using graphene to develop an assortment of technologically advanced things for a while, from camera sensors and contact lenses all the way to frickin' lasers. That's why it's not a surprise to see a group of engineers from Columbia University create the world's smallest FM transmitter using the atom-thick material. The end product isn't just for show, either, as it can pump tunes over the airwaves to a regular FM radio -- the team even used Gangnam Style to prove that it works. As interesting as the teensy transmitter is, the engineers have no plans to build a radio for ants, and this is merely part of a larger study into nano-electromechanical systems. Now all we need is for someone to make a tiny violin and a pair of tweezers small enough for us to play.

MIT ear-powered wireless sensor sustains its charge through sound

MIT earpowered wireless sensor sustains its charge through sound

You wouldn't immediately think of the ear's cochlea as an energy source, but MIT knows that every mammal effectively has a pair of very small power plants because of the ionized environment. School researchers are trying to harness that energy through a new sensor that exploits the whole ear canal system. As eardrum vibrations naturally create a usable voltage from brain signals, the prototype can build enough charge in a capacitor to drive a very low-power wireless transmitter that relays the electrochemical properties of the ear and potentially diagnoses balance or hearing problems. The beauty of the system is its true self-sustainability: once the transmitter has been been jumpstarted with radio waves, it powers itself through the resulting transmissions. Energy use is also sufficiently miserly that the sensor doesn't interrupt hearing. Work is still early enough that there's a long way to go before such implants are part of any treatments, but there's hope that future chip iterations could help fix inner ear maladies, not just report on them. Something tells us, however, that the doctor won't ask us to take two dubstep tracks and call back in the morning.

Project Glass makes a TV appearance on Charlie Rose, flashes its rear for the cameras

Project Glass makes a TV appearance on Charlie Rose, flashes its rear for the cameras

Google fellow, founder of Project X and self-driving car pioneer Sebastian Thrun became the latest to publicly rock a Project Glass prototype (after company co-founder Sergey Brin) on a recent episode of Charlie Rose, and managed to show off a whole new side of the project in the process. While the 19-minute interview was mostly unremarkable product-wise with a focus on higher education and his Udacity project, we did get to see him take a picture of the host (about a minute in) by tapping it, then posting it on Google+ by nodding twice. Also, as Electronista points out, in a brief reverse shot (17:20) of Thrun we see for the first time what appears to be a small battery pack / transmitter portion lodged behind his ear. Of course, we're still not any closer to rocking the latest in bionic man-chic ourselves, but at least we can start getting fitted for one now.
