Radiation-detecting boots and more at inventor’s fair in Geneva April 6, 2011

Inventors from around the world are convening in Geneva to show off their newest creations. Among them are a vertical garden (pictured) for elderly gardeners who have trouble bending over, a pair of radiation-detecting boots, and a telescoping pole you can wear like a kangaroo’s tail; just lean back anytime you want and you’ll be sitting.

Hmm…I’d actually be a little careful with that last one.
