You can stand under my umbrella

Assalamualaikum and hello classmates!

How's your day so far? I hope everything is good, despite of the rainy Gombak. Well, don't forget to bring your umbrella with you anywhere you go :)

Well thanks for the weather, I felt like doing a mini-research on umbrellas. While digging into the info on the mechanics behind umbrella, I found some super cool hi-tech umbrellas that went kinda 'famous' I'd say on the umbrella market.

Okay so here's one of the umbrellas that caught my attention. And its name is The Humble Umbrella. Gah, the irony! Just kidding.. It was named as The Pileus.

So, what's the fuss?

- The Pileus system created as a 'mobile tangible browser to make rainy day fun'. Awwh, cool!

- It is also known as the internet umbrella. Yep, you read it right. It has internet connection.

- Well, it can snap pictures and record videos as it has a built-in camera. The images or videos can be directly uploaded to Flickr or YouTube. Okay that was something! Your rain walk would never be any less exciting ;)

- It has GPS, digital compass that connected to Google Earth and a large screen projected to the top of the umbrella.

- It has RFID or Radio-frequency Identification reader on the handle so that user can scroll the contents projected. 

Thanks to these developers; Sho Hashimoto, Shingo Iwata, Takashi Matsumoto, Aya Tomatsu, Naoki Kubota and Naohito Okude from Japan. Job well done!
