What do you usually do during the boring time caused by traffic jam, to play your iPad, have a chat with beautiful ladies or just sit there without thinking anything?

It includes a 4.3 inch touchscreen, a built-in GPS navigation, multimedia on-the-go, DVR capabilities, and a wireless parking camera, once installed to replace your normal rearview mirror, the device would then allow you to play games in car.

“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?

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.

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.

The “Sphero” is the world’s first robotic ball that can be controlled by an iPhone or Android device. It comes with a semi-opaque white look, along with an inductive charger to reenergize it.

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.

Zapparel Augmented Reality Clothes, which was launched at the International Fashion Expo, Magic in Las Vegas on August 22-24, is an amazing design that allows people to interact with it based on Augmented Reality technology. The following video shows how people can play games with the T-shirt: a space man with robot arms will appear and shoot UFOs soon after one person takes photos of the T-shirt, and then the users can touch the UFOs to play the game. There are 20 different T-shirts in the series, and we really couldn’t wait to see how surprising other 19 ones would be. [Read the rest of this entry...]
