Most amazing creations inspired by TRON Legacy

Up until a few months ago, not many were aware of the movie ‘Tron’ that released way back in 1982 until its sequel titled ‘Tron: Legacy’ released in 2010. Though the first movie was described by critics as bring way ahead of its time, Tron:Legacy managed to strike a chord with the audience which fell in love with the numerous gizmos featured in the movie. And indeed, within a few months of the movie being released, the world started seeing a series of creative inventions designed after its merchandise. And given below are some of the most amazing creations that were inspired by the Tron Legacy!

The Light Cycle

Remember that awesome light cycle the protagonist rode in the movie? Well, you can choose to paint the town red with a particular version of this motorcycle. Developed by Parker Brother Choppers, the replica was built out of a Suzuki TLR1000, using lots of steel and fiberglass to achieve the Light Cycle look. Weighing about 475 pounds, the motorcycle is street legal and can be yours for $ 55,000.

Cyglo Tires

The Light Cycle featured in Tron Legacy comprised of flashing neon lights in the tires that gave the bike its legendary flashy look. Well, cycle tire developers around the world seem to have caught onto this trend, and have started developing Cyglo tires that can actually glow when on the road.

The basic principle behind these tires is simple. The tires (the inner wall in fact) are fitted with motion sensitive LED bulbs which are both strong and extremely durable. Once you reach a certain speed, the motion is picked up by the sensors which in turn switch on the LED bulbs located in the tire. This in turn would give off a glow like effect in the wheel, making your bike look like the Light Cycle from the movie, and making it easier for others to spot you on the road.

Gunnar 3D Glasses

Most of us absolutely abhor going to the cinema to watch a 3D movie, thanks mainly to those really crappy looking 3D glasses we would have to wear throughout the movie. Well, there’s no need for that now. For with the Gunnar 3D glasses, you don’t need to wear an extra pair of 3D glasses once you enter the movie theater.

The 3D glasses have been developed by Gunnar (an eye wear company) in collaboration with Disney. Costing almost $100, the glasses look extremely stylish and are adaptable to even RealD 3D visuals and screens.

TRON Keyboard

Wouldn’t it be really cool if your keyboard and mouse emitted a luminescent light at night (or in dim light conditions)? Well, that’s exactly what the TRON inspired mouse and keyboard designed by Razerdo. The keyboard comes with a backlit feature and a detachable number pad option (to either left or right positions) for ease of gaming. Each key in the keyboard is laser etched, and glows brightly. In addition to this, you can get to see some really exciting lightning effects at the time of startup/shutdown and game alerts.

iPod Disc

Someone was so inspired by the Tron Legacy that he decided to go ahead and design an iPod docking station like one of those discs in the movie that appear as weapons cum storage containers. The iPod docking station looks really impressive and give off the effect of a futuristic gadget. Be careful though, lest it transforms into a weapon and starts chasing you around the house (just joking folks)!
