Last but not least: The Popinator
The company Popcorn Indiana sells - you guessed it - popcorn. Thanks to an invention with viral potential, perhaps soon in even larger quantities.
We are talking about the Popinator. Popcorn Indiana has developed a machine that shoots popcorn into your mouth. On command! When you shout "Pop!", the robot fires a popped kernel of corn precisely in the direction from which the command came. The receiver catches it in its mouth. Popcorn Indiana dreams of changing the way people eat popcorn, according to the video. The binary microphone system, which determines the direction and launch angle, is intended to perform an orientation function similar to that of human hearing.
Whether the device really exists as a prototype or is just the fantasy product of a cleverly launched viral campaign remains uncertain. One thing is certain: it's a must-have! Better today than tomorrow! And judging by the speed at which the idea is spreading on the Internet, there are likely to be other buyers if the Popinator goes into series production. (hae)
