Multimedia on the internet

Saturday, March 13, 2010 |

Last week's lesson was really MINDBLOWING. I loved the tech gadgets that professor showed us as they looked really out of this world! I especially like the Xbox 360 Project Natal Game console. Really cool idea of making the individual the controller instead of using a physical controller  :P Thumbs up!

Anyway, i went to surf the net and found other cool multimedia gadgets that are also really unique.. :) Check the video out below for Virtusphere:



 Pretty cool right? :) It's actually a hollow sphere, which is placed on a special platform that allows the sphere to rotate freely in any direction according to the user's steps. Transmitting a virtual environment to the wireless head mounted display, users can move freely 360 degrees creating the most immersive virtual experience. Personally, i feel that this may be great for gamers as it allows more hands on for gamers who like to move and feel the action when they play rather than having to stay rooted in the spot. Besides that, i was exploring the possibility that it may allow people to exercise while they play the game and in that sense, allow gamers to so stay healthy while they're playing? =P

Another cool techno gadget that i MUST share with everyone is this: PIXELBOTS. They're by far one of the coolest things i've ever set my eyes on. If you ask me, they're like a swarm of robots that have intelligence and they are able to notify you of anything under the sun. AND BEST OF ALL, it can become a moving motion picture at certain intervals! How COOL is that!!! :O I can't even put into words what they are in all accuracy so please watch the video below instead :)
