Besides being dorky, the worst thing about the guided museum tour headset they pass out is that all you do is listen. Enter the DS Lite. From this November, the handheld will be distributed at a Tokyo art exhibition to help visitors understand art. Each work will be reproduced in the DS thanks to special software. By using the touch pen and listening to the audio track, visitors can gain a deeper appreciation of the piece of art. Carrying that DS around the museum, you'll still feel like a dork, but less of one. Brian Ashcraft
