“Your eyes are all you need to save the earth”. That’s what the world’s first eye-controlled arcade game deeply leaves in my mind. Named as “Tobii Eye Asteroids”, the gaming machine comes with only one “start” button, and requires you to use your eyes to interact with games. Do you wanna to have a try? I don’t, just because I cannot get used to anything without a keyboard or touchscreens. If only using my eyes to save the earth, oh god, the result would disappoint you.
The main reason why I don’t play Ping Pong is that I can barely touch the ball with my bat. But I’ve decided to have another try with the Virtual Ping Pong, as it features no Ping Pang table or ball at all, but instead requires the users to swing the bat in air according to the sound played by a recorder. In other words, the Virtual Ping Pong is kind of a game that you need to use your imagination to play. So are you ready? Let’s start now.
Disney is a wonderful place full of imaginations, in my mind, thus it’s quite amazing to see its research labs come up with the SideBySide handheld projectors for multiplayer games. Each unit combines a camera with a modified DLP projector that outputs a single color of visible light and also an invisible infrared image. The IR image can be detected by the camera built with second projector, which would then know clearly where the image output by the first projector is and what it is doing, and thus create another image to interact with the first one. That may sound a little complicated, but you’ll soon find out how it works with the video after the jump.

Planned to be sold in December for about $130, the “Sphero” can now be ordered on its official website. Go and check for more information if you’re interested.

Hacky sack, a seemingly simple game, actually calls for a good control capacity and an acute observational ability.

In that case, you may need the hacky sack counter, a gadget that is used to keep track of how many times you can keep the hacky sack up in the air without it falling. Perhaps you can also use the counter in a shuttlecock kicking game.
