Some came up with the smart idea of making a carpet in to a Space Invaders game. Kind of crazy and could get annoying if a friend wanted to walk past to grab a drink.

The space invaders carpet works by projecting the space invaders from above on to the Persian rug as seen below.

Imagine driving towards some traffic lights and you can have a count down telling you how long before the light changes Green. Or if an ambulance is on it’s way and you need to move. This might happen with this new idea from Sony. It’s basically a system currently which is designed to pass messages from car to car through an LED which appears to be switched on all the time but is inface flashing very quickly. I personally have no idea what a car to car communication could be needed for, bearing in mind the you would have to type out a message etc… and surely it’s quicker to call someone. Maybe something like a breaking system might be of benefit where it can warn the driver behind of sharp braking.

Sony are introducing a cool game when the PS3 launches later this year. The games makes use of a real deck of cards and a camera (Eye Cards). The game, named “The Eye of Judgement” makes the cards come to life as mythical characters on screen, thanks to the inbuilt camera on the PS3.

As seen above, the game makes use of the real deck of cards. I personally think this might be an excellent way forwards for some type of games although the same should be able to be acomplished on the PS2 and I wouldn’t mind seeing this game appear on there. The Eye Toy on the PS2 is such a classic device that it had to take off big style.

What used to be imagined in your mind is now displayed on the screen.

The way the ps3 card games works is by placing cards on to the 3 x 3 board in front of you. The camera reads a code from the back of the card which is then converted in to an onscreen character (see image above).

Even better news is that the game should be made in to an online game… although Sony are working on how to stop the opponent from cheating.

Keep checking back for more news on the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) due out November 2006.

I came across this cool-looking tire inflator today on Kickstarter. I’m a little late to the game on this one, given that it first arrived at the end of July, but it’s still worth a shoutout here because there are still around three weeks left for the Kickstarter to complete.

The device comes in two versions, the ONE and ONE Pro, the Pro having a larger battery at 10,400 mAh compared to 7,800 mAh on the ONE. Inflation speed is also quicker on the Pro. Other than that, they both have almost identical specifications.
