Some of which are real gems. Here are five of the latest campaigns that you simply have to see to believe.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/kenburns\/tiny-arcade-a-retro-tiny-playable-game-cabinet?ref=category_recommended\">Tiny Arcade<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong>\u00a0A retro tiny playable game cabinet<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/kenburns\/tiny-arcade-a-retro-tiny-playable-game-cabinet\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Arcade games are awesome. But they&#8217;re undoubtedly even more awesome when they can be played on a palm-sized arcade cabinet. You still get a full color OLED screen a long with a retro analog joystick and two push buttons to enjoy all your old favourites. Games are simply loaded via an SD card and they are all free and open source, so if you&#8217;re feeling really creative you can even have a go at writing your own.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/asdffilms\/gest-work-with-your-hands\">Gest: Work With Your Hands<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong> Use simple hand gestures to control your computer<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/asdffilms\/gest-work-with-your-hands\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><br \/>\nBecause using a mouse and keyboard is just boring, right? Gest is a clever little device that allows you to control your computer through hand gestures. Simply\u00a0twitch your fingers, point, grab or do whatever feels most natural to you by setting up your own custom gestures. Don&#8217;t throw out your peripherals just yet, but this could well be a glimpse into the future of how we interact with our devices.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"normal mb1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ravean\/arctic-tropical-ultra-light-heated-jackets-and-hea\/comments\">The World&#8217;s First Heated Down Jacket w\/ 6X Mobile Charging<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\"><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong> A jacket that lets you control the heat<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ravean\/arctic-tropical-ultra-light-heated-jackets-and-hea\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\">As we enter the chilly depths of Winter, this heated jacket from Ravean looks rather appealing. It&#8217;s a light jacket suitable for wear all year round, but it has built in temperature control to allow you to adjust the jacket&#8217;s heat to your desired level. There are also accompanying touch-screen compatible gloves featuring the same heating technology so your hands can be equally as toasty. \u00a0The battery built into the jacket acts as a power bank too, there to charge your smartphone on the go.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"normal mb1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1042832757\/cellrobot-100-robots-in-one\">CellRobot: 100 ROBOTS in ONE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\"><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong>\u00a0Build and control your own modular robot<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1042832757\/cellrobot-100-robots-in-one\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\">What&#8217;s better than a robot? 100 robots of course! The CellRobot is a modular robot which you can assemble into any form you choose. Every module or &#8216;element&#8217; you add unleashes new possibilities for movement, all controlled by your smartphone or tablet. It&#8217;s advertised as having both entertainment and education purposes and certainly appears to be a interesting way of getting children excited about programming.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"normal mb1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/980194525\/thermowand-human-temperature-readings-from-a-dista?ref=discovery\">THERMOWAND<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\"><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong> Human temperature readings from a distance<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/980194525\/thermowand-human-temperature-readings-from-a-dista\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal mb1\">The THERMOWAND looks to reduce the risk of caregivers catching contagious illness from patients or family members. Research has shown that &#8220;infectious agents usually only\u00a0spread within three feet of an individual&#8221; and the THERMOWAND allows accurate temperature readings to be taken at a three foot distance using a combination of\u00a0the reading from the device and knowledge of the patient&#8217;s BMI. Clever stuff indeed.<\/p>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kickstarter is full of weird, wonderful and wacky innovations.
