Touchtable mixer takes conventional PMP design for a wiki-wiki-twist

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 6th, 2009

Not that we haven't seen turntable capabilities shoved into production and concept devices alike before, but there's something curiously seductive about this one. Dreamed up by Sir Thomas Mascall, the Touchtable is a pocket-sized PMP that boasts a digit-friendly surface meant for scratching, mixing and all manners of interacting. Aside from playing back your favorite MP3s, this bugger can (in theory, anyway) also mix jams on the fly, cue outputs and even connect with a second Touchtable wirelessly in order to establish a more traditional DJ setup (at 1:8 scale). Plug it into a PC, and now you've got a MIDI controller. Pop that source link if you're looking for a few more images and details, and feel free to contact your local VC if interested in seeing this fast-tracked to the commercial realm.

LAb[au]’s f5×5x5 framework sculpture mesmerizes on video

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 28th, 2009

It's been nearly three full years since we've seen anything hot and fresh from LAb[au], but thankfully, said drought is decidedly over. By using a combination of aluminum, Plexiglas, LED lights, determination, wit, stepper motors, critical thinking and IR tracking technologies, the f5x5x5 sculpture was created. Dubbed a "kinetic and luminous framework," the installation is part of a larger '16n' project designed to confront architectural problems (like congestion and flows) with spatial sensing technologies. We know, that's all pretty deep -- but if you're just lookin' for a good time, we'd recommend heading past the break, mashing play and dropping your kudos in comments.

UK moviegoers treated to industry’s first interactive 3D game

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on July 2nd, 2009


Now here's a way to make us show up for the previews. O2 has evidently figured out that getting moviegoers involved in the action is a good way to get more fundaments in seats, and starting next week, the first in-cinema interactive 3D game will be rolled out in 20 Vue theaters around the UK. The title, dubbed Asteroid Storm, will rely on two overhead cameras that recognize hand raises down below. In short, moviegoers simply move their hands to direct a damaged spaceship out of an asteroid belt, but there's no word on whether or not "everyone's a winner." Here's hoping not, chumps.

Data Design Interactive Signs distribution deal with Midway Games…

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Games News on June 24th, 2009


Data Design Interactive Ltd – a successful video games publisher and games developer, today announced that it has signed a deal with Midway Games Inc who will distribute DDI‘s Nintendo Wii game entitled ‘Schweineparty’ in German, Austria and Switzerland. (English version is entitled ‘Farmyard Party’)

Uwe Fuerstenberg, General Manager Midway Games GmbH, said:

“We are proud to work with Data Design Interactive on that highly enjoyable title. Schweineparty is 100% swine flu free but we are confident it will disseminate just as quickly.”

Schweineparty brings farmyard fun to the Nintendo Wii. The game has eight sporting events which are divided into four categories: all-round, speed, power, and skill. Game modes include party modes themed around event styles, single event fun and some hilarious bonus games.

The game play revolves around using a combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in various ways to complete each event. The events require a combination of speed, timing and more than a little sweat!

Alongside the challenges of beating the game records and those of your friends, there are a number of new characters, bonus games and a development gallery for players to enjoy.
Based on the cornerstones of sportsmanship and competitiveness of the fun and crazy games, Schweineparty is an ideal choice for family friendly fun. Schweineparty provides an entertaining multiplayer experience (4 player mode), with colourful graphics and physically demanding gameplay.
