Not only is Apple’s next iPod Nano said to bring the camera back, but it’s also going to run new software for games. Not just Klondike and Vortex, last seen in the fifth-gen model, I’m hoping. The addition of new games was brought to light by a patent application Apple filed with the US Patent…
Like a fish borne from the ashes of Dreamcast’s Bass Fishing comes another wacky Japanese toy: Takara Tomy’s Virtual Master Reel. It’s an augmented-reality fishing reel that uses its 0.3MP camera to insert your real surroundings into the fishing game. Unfortunately it’s only destined for Japan (where it’ll cost the equivalent of $77), but how…
Microsoft’s no stranger to working with TV networks, but according to Reuters they’re working on a cable-like online subscription service for the Xbox 360. It’s likely to have come about because of the Google TV threat—however much of a threat it may or may not be, it’s likely worried Microsoft. Nonetheless, it’s all good news…
He’s a generous Dad, too—for he has put the instructions on Instructables, for building your very own. I don’t think you even need children as an excuse to create this, that’s how awesome it is. [Instructables via DailyWhat]
Remember Parrot’s awesome iPhone-controlled AR.Drone? Of course you do. Grab an AR.Drone-owning friend and when the augmented reality app hits the App Store, get downloading for some healthy Bluetooth-based competition. It’s a two-player game, which rather limits the app, as you’ll need to find someone else who owns a $300 (£300) drone as well as…
They may look extra-unwieldy next to yesterday’s Airs, but the XPS line has returned—much to its fans’ delight, I’m sure. There are 14, 15 and 17-inch options available, each with backlit keyboards and brushed aluminum outers. Inside though, there are some decent specs (particularly when you consider they start at $899. Intel Core i5 460M…
It’s been a thorn in any Android user’s side, but finally the full Angry Birds game is now available on Android phones…only, not in the Android Market. Instead, Rovio chose to release it, for free, on the GetJar store. Rovio said that it was an “obvious choice” of GetJar over Android’s Market, thanks to the…
The ’90s may’ve given us Blink 182 and stonewashed denim, but I very much doubt NASA will be reviving 1993’s virtual reality system alongside those other comebacks, seen here modeled on a (presumably) taken-advantage-of intern. According to the NASA page the VR system was found on, it was a prototype which used a head-mounted display,…
