The title should be enough to explain what this is. In case it isn’t, it’s a flying stick with a camera! Rub it between your palms to get some kinetic energy stored up. Then release and the Flying Stick automatically takes pictures at set intervals.

I can only imagine what the roller rinks of our future will have in-store for our spoiled youth. Back in the dizzay, the slap bracelets at my local rink were usually made of thin piece of aluminum wrapped in fabric. Using the same form, Chocolate Agency came up with a mini multimedia device that snaps on with a slap. The entire surface is E-Paper and possesses all its thin, high contrast, power efficient qualities. The length can be adjusted by adding magnetic snaps to the ends. Best part is there’s no recharging needed. It gets all the power it needs via kinetic energy so go ahead, go slap happy. “I’ll trade you some air hockey tokens and ten glow-sticks for your new fancy slap bracelet?” Can’t believe you said “yes”! Thank you.
