TextA Better Angry Birds?by Alison - on August 14th, 2012 
The biggest gaming app can’t get any better, can it? Students at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design think so. Hideaki Matsui and Andrew Spitz created, Super Angry Birds, a physical controller including a slingshot and detonator for the popular game. Basically, the units connect via USB. The slingshot can be aimed up or down and its motorized slider enables you to release the birds just as you would on a touch screen. Geek.com has more on the technicalities of how it works. And the inventors have no plans to sell the device. But with such realistic control of a game it is fun to think of what other controllers may be possible. Text Microsoft Kinect Hacked to play World of Warcraft by James Researchers slash their way thought World of Warcraft thanks to the Kinect Living Rooms all around the world are shaking with fear of users actually taking swords and attacking their big screens thanks to a new hack for the Microsoft Kinect that allows gamers to play World of Warcraft without a keyboard. It’s no secret that the Kinect is rapidly becoming the most hacked device since the Hackintosh, but students at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies have taken the next step in developing a software hack which enables gamers to use the motion device to immerse themselves even deeper into the online Mid-evil world. The hack is called the “Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit, (FAAST) and it uses full-body motion control. Gamer can not only wield a sword or axe to take out a feisty orc, but they can also cast spells, making it nirvana for those who secretly love to dress up to play their favorite game. And it’s only a matter of time before someone figures out a way to use their light saber collection to battle someone online. But with everyone creating bold new uses for the Kinect and porting it over to the PC, the sky is truly the limit for what can be done with this game changing device. And it makes the world of Minority Report that much closer, but in a bold and exciting way. Imagine editing video’s just with a snip of your fingers and a wave of your hand? Designing in CAD programs Tony Stark style. And getting rid of the keyboard forever? It’s not just for games anymore and that’s a cool thing 
TextGhostbusters trap replica from the movieby Edwin - on August 8, 2011 
Remember the Ghostbusters movie that came out in the first half of the 1980s? Well, that certainly kicked off quite a storm, where a cartoon series followed thereafter, not to mention a mountain of merchandise being introduced to the market as kids went nuts with Slimer and gang. Well, for folks who still cannot get enough of Ghostbusters more than two and a half decades down the road, perhaps this replica from Mattel might pique your interest – it is a new Ghostbusters ghost trap replica that was inspired by the 1984 movie, where it will hit the market this October for $135 a pop. Sure, it is not going to capture Aunt Petunia’s roving spirit when you open it, but at least it comes in two modes to make it look all the more realistic. The doors will open when you step on the attached pedal, where the array of status and indicator lights will blink to let you know that you have snagged yourself a ghost. When you switch the same trap to ‘Movie’ mode, it will do something similar, albeit with more aplomb. For starters, the light show is more animated and there are extra sound effects whenever the trap’s doors close. Heck, it will even offer vibrating feedback to make it seem all the more real. Something for this Halloween, perhaps?

Are you ready to go? Run through the checklist: phone, MP3 player, tablet, camera, spare cards, cords, water, shades, wallet. Do you really want to fit all of that in your pockets? Whether touring the world or just running errands there is usually demand to take a few items along. More and more of those items are electrical gear too. The feeling of filling up your jacket or pants pockets is no fun. “Keep the keys in a separate pocket than the phone. Don’t let the headphones get tangled with the sunglasses.” Yuck. Scottevest specializes in men’s and women’s travel clothing. Their jackets, shorts, shirts and pants offer comfort, practicality and versatility. The Scottevest Transformer presents the perfect option for gadget gurus needing to conveniently pack their goods and go. The Transformer offers 20 pockets specialized for a variety of devices and uses including: Interior clear touch pockets for mobile phones or other touch devices Pocket designed for camera with memory card holders Headphone conduits to the collar “PadPocket” large enough to carry a Kindle or iPad Sunglass pocket complete with attached chamois cloth The aptly named Transformer also converts to a vest, which does not seem like a big deal. But Scottevest ingeniously inserts magnets under the fabric meaning a simple pull or connection makes jacket/vest conversion a cinch.
