Xiaomi Unveils '90 Minutes Ultra Smart Sportswear' Shoes Powered by Intel
There are very few companies that can boast of a product portfolio as diverse as Xiaomi. Now, the Chinese company has expanded its product range even further as it has launched its smart shoes powered by Intel technology. The '90 Minutes Ultra Smart Sportswear' shoes (yes, this is the name) come with Intel's Curie chip and provide users with information such as distance travelled and calories burnt.

The smart shoes from Xiaomi, developed by Shanghai-based Runmi Technology Co. Ltd, come with 60 days of battery life and have Intel's compact Curie chip that stores all the fitness related data, reports GizChina. The shoes are reportedly aimed at professional runners/athletes and come with arch design and anti-skid features.
The shoes are able to detect movement and can be used for walking, running, or even climbing, as per the report. The smart shoes from Xiaomi are available in Black and Surf Blue colour options for men while Black and Pink colour options for women. Further there is a special "Blue Edition" of the shoes that glows in the dark.

The shoes have been priced at CNY 299 (roughly Rs. 2,900) and will be available from the company's crowdfunded Mijia platform via the Mi Home website, and shipments begin from April 15.
It should be noted that these shoes are currently available for purchase exclusively in China. If you can look past the name, it does appear to be an attractive offering from the company at an affordable price.

And it promises to do all of this over three steps: Position Muzo toward the noise and reposition if needed. Gently press the large button on the surface to select your ambient noise (or, use the noise-canceling technology by itself). Rotate the button to adjust soundtrack volume. Together, the company tells us that Muzo’s noise-blocking technology can create a “personal zone creator” that can work as an alternative to sleep aids and costly sound machines. Muzo sure sounds cool, but is it worth the money? Is it even a feasible con...

The United States uses about 50 billion plastic water bottles each year, which requires 17 million barrels of oil. Sadly,  less than a quarter  of that plastic will get recycled. If you don’t want to be stuck carrying around a water bottle when you’re done taking a drink, why not just make a container you can eat?  Yuka Yoneda from Inhabitat gives a demonstration of how to do just that using a process called spherification, which creates a liquid with a soft membrane that you can eat. The process combines drinking water with  sodium alginate , which comes from brown seaweed. After those two are combined, spoonfuls are put into a bath of  calcium lactate , which is a salt that can be found in many items like baking powder, antacids, and cheese. Inside the bath, a gelatinous membrane begins to form, though the water stays liquid in the middle. The result is a refreshing drink of water that doesn’t require a separate vessel like a bottle or a cup It is a ...
