Toys that were never designed for movement can now be animated thanks to a simple ring-like device called PINOKY designed by a group of researchers from Keyo University, the University of Tokyo in frames of the Igarashi Design Interface Project. Simply snap the ring around a plush toy’s limb, or any other plush extremity for that matter, and marvel at the sight of your favorite childhood friend waving at you vigorously. <a href="/web/20120118174945/http://www.gizmag.com/pinoky-ring-animates-plush-toys/21003/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118174945/http://www.gizmag.com/cyberfire-football-set/20905/">CyberFire Football glows green or red - if you're wearing the special glasses</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118174945/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>13:28 December 20, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174945im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174945/http://www.gizmag.com/cyberfire-football-set/20905/pictures">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118174945/http://www.gizmag.com/cyberfire-football-set/20905/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174945im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/cyberfire.jpg" title="The CyberFire Football Set incorporates a reflective foam ball and LED-equipped 'glasses,'..." alt="The CyberFire Football Set incorporates a reflective foam ball and LED-equipped 'glasses,'..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Have you ever seen children out on the playground, playing some made-up game that only they know the rules to?
