Alex Beim's Zygote is a lightweight inflated ball that responds to pressure: Tap it or squeeze it and the internal LEDs react. The balls can act as input or output devices by being linked to a central computer, as
Daniel van Tijn did
here to make crowd-generated music. (See also:
Dorkbot.)

"Time: elusive and immediate...limited yet infinite. Because time is important to you, Hewlett-Packard introduces the
HP-01, a new dimension in time management and personal computation." Truly, such an important model number could only be bestowed upon the king of all early calculator watches. No less than three batteries were required (two for the LED display alone), and even HP's
impressive engineering was unable to save the HP-01 from the
curse of bulkiness; it did not sell well at the $650 price point. The HP-01 was discontinued in 1980, as
inexpensive LCD calculator watches began flooding the market (don't lie,
you know you had one).

This Webcam features a live feed to a LED sign. You get to input the text it shows and then you can see it in real time via the webcam. This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.
