Makerfair can be said to be a creation of paradise, the rise of Silicon Valley in the United States, the first time this year in Shenzhen, held in China. But to catch the Qingming long holiday, the report is not many, and there are a lot of media attention to the Forum session, the most fun of the scene of the product and the introduction is not much, the author of this article Tony is a geek editor, but also a geek enthusiast, from his vision, selected this year Makerfair on the fun of people and things, Worth seeing.
Objective
The two-day Shenzhen Maker Faire has the most enthusiastic guests group, and they bring a variety of fun products. Maker Faire's Bazaar allows you to experience the purest pleasures of technology and the boundless enthusiasm of the creators.
All kinds of interesting products
In addition to the team from overseas, the Maker faire in Shenzhen is naturally indispensable to the domestic creators, who come from all over the country, with their own products and enthusiasm, and you share the joy of technology and creativity. The enthusiastic creators are also serious about developing business solutions in addition to making their own fun products.
The Makeblock shared in the Geek Park allows you to assemble your own robots like Lego, and in addition to the hardware modularity, they also optimize the software component, making programming simpler and easier to get started.
Ufactory has brought their robotic arms uarm, the robot arm in the figure can perform very precise movements and is very handy to operate-with either a mouse or Leap Motion control.
Shenzhen DIY Community This creative/hacker community brings this very interesting ASCII character "Pat", take a picture of a acsii character on the camera and print a note with a two-dimensional code and URL, and you can scan the two-dimensional code to view the photos just now, which is very interesting.
And the general can not play high score on the mobile phone delete App, Cloud-tea's two buddies with Arduino made an automatic point screen device control birds fly, the current highest score is more than 3,000.
Geek Workshop brought the PS handle control robot, but the more love is one of their booth in a voice travel enthusiasts, they assembled a jubeat!
The same is two times yuan, also is the music tour enthusiasts, you look at this group of Love to create a guest:)
The booth of the New art studio has a row of POV (visual retention) effect clocks made from old (used hard drives, etc.). The creators should be the oldest Maker faire to participate in the country. The old gentleman also wrote a "51 single-chip computer POV interesting production detailed".
The hard drive with the light-emitting element turns up and shows the time, very interesting.
This small keyboard clock and we introduced the continuous writing of the current time of the robot has the same thing, the keypad by lighting the corresponding number keys and then, the two keys to display the current time.
Robopeak's Rplidar is an already mature low cost 360 degree lidar, which can effectively monitor the contour information of objects within 6 meters. This is the use of the radar automatic vacuum cleaner, you can do to avoid obstacles automatically, rather than the silly wall after the change.
This is the use of the radar automatic vacuum cleaner, you can do to avoid obstacles automatically, rather than the silly wall after the change line.
Yes, the Pacific Rim stuff does exist, and Dexta Robotics brings their arm-motion-capture devices to capture two-arm movements. What to do, such as controlling the robot at all times.
You can use your own two hands to control the movement of the robot, you and the robot synchronization rate of 100%.
Wrtnode put the uarm on the camera, so that it can identify items, want to grab 5 cents to catch 5 cents, want to catch 1 coins to catch 1 pieces.
DEPTH-VR let the ordinary polarizing 3D screen into a holographic projection, not only the characters in the screen can be "out of the screen", but also 360 degrees without dead angle view, wearing a special detection eye rotation head, you can observe the scene from different angles. The three-game-related De Mo was very shocking to the scene.
As one of the organizers of the event, Seeed Studio has also brought countless fun products,
OSVehicle the car back to the industrial age, the now sophisticated, complex car dismantling into the most basic mechanical structure, so that you can freely assemble their own design of the "simple car."
General chassis length Adjustable (2 or 4 seats), gasoline or oil-electric hybrid two micro-engine options, without complex tools, a person can assemble a car in an hour.
DIY car's greatest pleasure, of course, is the shell of the desire, such a simple osvehicle in the domestic I am afraid that a short time to meet the relevant standards on the road. (from the staff, this product in Shandong can be on the road)
In addition to the works of Maker, there are many familiar products come to this Maker faire.
Inwatch brought their watch, in order not to plug headphones can also use a watch to call, watch buckle is also bone conduction headphones, affixed to the face can hear each other talk.
A very loving electronic new I also come, the combination of sports health and nurturance games is very interesting. Unfortunately, there is no support for Android phones, or the cash box must have a small number of 300 pieces.
With only a handful of NFC cards that Android users can enjoy, they can send their business cards to other people's phones, and IOS users can only scan the two-dimensional code on their business cards.
The choice of geeks to introduce the brain Wave controller brainlink.
We are familiar with the yeelight also on the Maker faire, the Bluetooth can be remote control, set color and timing switch bulb is still very popular.
Did not appear in the booth, but we met the Digicare, this ERI hand ring using a very sophisticated technology and a variety of sensors, functions and workmanship are very good, before the Indiegogo in the public, now can be scheduled in the official website.
The foreigners who have love
Maker Faire has a group of very loving foreigners, many of them will not be Chinese, with the accent in English and you warmly introduce their products, let you experience these products bring all kinds of fun. Communicate with these foreigners, you will feel the love of science and technology, love to create enthusiasm, in this kind of enthusiastic infection, you will want to become a guest.
Each module can be compiled into a musical instrument or a timbre, with such a set of programmable devices you can assemble a keyboard or a set of drums for yourself, nothing to play a short paragraph.
The Japanese creator made a lot of fun products, using Bluetooth to automatically open the door lock device and the "virtual chest" implemented in Kinect.
Triggertrap from the UK can be photographed by remote-controlled cameras, such as voice, vibration, and the number of people in the picture, so the scene often rings the ao of the self-portraits.
3D print and leap Motion are really not new, but using Leap Motion to control the printer with syrup in the water is really an interesting thing, not so much a creator, but an artist.
Wearing the Japanese-made glasses, you will see a virtual Street View, with your finger in front of the camera to slide or poke forward, you can control the eyes of the street, the virtual scene and the real control of the combination is very interesting.
Remember the smart lighter lightir we introduced? The foreigners from the United States also made a similar product, the electronic cigarette smoke device into Bluetooth, through the mobile phone App to provide you with data and management functions.
The reason why the overseas market sports wear equipment has been booming because they have a good habit of exercise, this is a tennis player or amateur training for the brand, built-in sensors can record your swing angle, speed and trajectory of a variety of data.
In addition to tennis, extreme sports can also be trained to be smart, put a sensor on the skateboard, record the various data when doing the action, let you fall a few times in the next training, and learn faster.
Maker will also be associated with fashion, the lighting control equipment on the body, so that the combination of technology and clothing may be a fashion in the future.
Please ignore the Naked circuit board
Just used technology to decorate the clothing, now you see the LED show tie is the technology into the clothes, need what lattice tie, directly displayed on the line.
