Finding a cab during rush hour is bad. Finding a cab during rush hour in the middle of a heavy downpour is worse. It`s a sad situation: just you and your umbrella. Enter Pileus, the umbrella that entertains. Researchers at Tokyo`s Keio University has built a system that allows YouTube videos and Flickr photos to be projected on your opened umbrella via a Wi-Fi connection. The umbrella grip houses the RFID reader, RFID tag, rotary sensor, camera, and the projector. Users can take photos or videos and the Pileus WebService uploads them to Flickr or YouTube. Users can start browsing just by simply twisting the grip. With a nifty device such as this, singing in the rain becomes an obsolete form of entertainment. The Pileus might just catch on, if only for the entertainment factor. But it does bring up the issue of sidewalk accidents. Pileus users might get too caught up with the device and miss the open manhole just a few steps away. That, or people missing work due to a severe case of stiff neck.
