Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and all Seeed staff will have a 3-day holiday to enjoy leisure time with family and friends. We might not be able to reply your emails promptly. Sincere apologies! Hope you have a great time during Dragon Boat Festival!
Our online shop will be open 24/7, and you can place orders as usual. However, the logistics will close from June 10th to June 12th. Your orders will be shipped after the logistics reopen. Sorry for all the inconveniences.
The following is schedule for Dragon Boat Festival:
Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, in honor of the poet, Qu Yuan. We celebrate this festival by drinking wine, hanging Chinese mugwort leaf, hosting dragon-boat racing as well as eating Zongzi. Zongzi is a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. It’s very tasty, lol

One visible sign of China’s recent economic growth is the rise in prominence of inventors and entrepreneurs. For years now, Chinese farmers, engineers, and businessmen have taken on ambitious do-it-yourself projects, constructing homemade submarines, helicopters, robots, safety equipment, weapons and much more. Some of the inventions are built out of passion, some with an eye toward profit, (some certainly safer than others), and a few have already led to sales for the inventors. Gathered here are recent photos of this DIY movement across China.
Do you find it inconvenient and annoying to switch over different computers during a meeting, and would love to connect your phone/tablet to the projector directly? When you play games on your cell-phone or tablet, are you eager to have better experience and enjoy the game on a big screen? MirrorBox is the solution!
MirrorBox is a portable device that lets you wirelessly echo the display from a Miracast-relay Android phone or tablet onto your HDTV.
The designers of MirrorBox are Hill Lu, Wim Zhang and Leon Nie, who have a lot of experience in embedded system development and professional skills at wireless technology. Through a series of exploration, they came out with the first prototype in 2008. In the past few years, they have implemented emerging technology, redeveloped and modified the prototype.
Now Mirrobox Team has completed the final design of the prototype. The team has also selected a qualified manufacturer to put this prototype into production. The designers are our friends, and Seeed helps make the introduction video of MirrorBox. MirrorBox has been launched on Indiegogo, please help push this project, back and raise fund for MirrorBox, making MirrorBox accessible!

Imagine shoes that enable you to have a physical awareness of another person walking. Sensors on the bottom of the shoes communicate via microcontrollers through smartphones to actuators on the top of another pair of shoes. When one person sits to rest, the other will feel the weight lift. When one runs, the other will feel increased pressure and faster rhythm.
This invitation represents an opportunity to spend six intensive hours developing new ideas in relation to the body through the creative use of materials and praxis.
