HypnosEye iPhone Projector

hypnoseye_iphone_projectorThe iPhone has had a few projectors launched for it of which they look quite good. The latest that I came across just today is the HypnosEye that although does it’s job of projecting an image, doesn’t look that good. Looks aside though, the HypnosEye is a simple projector that uses a lens and mirror to project images seen on the screen of your iPhone.

No power supply or batteries are needed as it just reflects what’s on the screen on to a wall. For this reason you need to set the brightness of your iPhone or other player at maximum and switch auto-adjustment off.

Quality isn’t great, but in a dark room you will see a larger image on the wall of what’s on the screen on your phone. [Read more…]

The Hexatech £120,000 F1 Simulator

F1-SimulatorThe Simulator company Cruden has built an F1 simulator that costs a hefty £120,000. The simulator is called the Hexatech and is capable of providing what Cruden call 6DOF (six degrees of freedom).

The simulator is said to provide g-Force simulation of multiple G’s as well as realistic steering that is 100% accurate.

‘Let’s be clear: this is not a video game linked up to a steering wheel, race seat and pedals. Although easy to operate, this is the exact same equipment used by the top racing drivers and engineers to improve their race craft and evaluate new tracks and car settings. Our simulator and the software it uses cannot be bought in a store.

T-Mobile G1 gets Google Maps Navigation – Unofficially

Google-Maps-NavigationYesterday a challenge was set on the XDA Forums to see if any users could manage to get Google Maps Navigation to work on the T-Mobile G1. The thread was opened at 8:32pm last night with an answer to the problem being provided at 3:36am this morning with full instructions how to complete the hack.

Alright… i’ve yet to be able to identify the specific lines yet… but here you go.

I was able to get navigation using the 2 build props attached.

I used SU File Browser and adb to do this. You can do it all with adb but between the 2 i was able to do things faster.

Mount system as rw
delete build.prop and build.trout.prop
(or you may modify yours to match, and skip the next step)
push the new build.prop and build.trout.prop to /system/
delete /system/app/Maps.apk
delete /system/sd/app/com.google.android.maps.apk if present
delete /system/sd/dalvik-cache/data@[email protected]@classes. dex
REBOOT you have to reboot for the phone to re-read the build props
install the new maps.apk — i did adb install if you do not get Success then you missed something.

update: after all is working.. you may put your old build props back
