This DIY is a really nice VR setup by Timo Fleisch using two Wiimotes; one for hand tracking, one for head tracking. The combination of these devices creates a VR environment that will allow virtual shoppers to examine an object without really going to the local store. The contraption does not really allow the user a feel for the texture so not really immersive as the headset that mimics all five senses we covered earlier for now....

These are the first images of what is said to be the forthcoming BlackBerry Niagara 9630. While there is very little information about the device except the fact that this one's CDMA , the images only seem to be a prelude to further leaks that might happen in the near future. The handset looks similar to the current Bold and Curve line up and will certainly be a handsome addition to the rather staid CDMA line up RIM currently...

Microsoft may be testing a Windows 7 OS version which has IE 8 disabled by default, why the company wants to do this is a huge mystery to me, but it sure has the web abuzz. This new option is more than likely in response to the recent accusations by the EU for antitrust issues that Microsoft has used its dominant Windows market share position to force other software, like Internet Explorer, onto the market. The company is probably...
Philips has created a totally transparent OLED display, called the Lumiblade, a basic, super-bright lamp slab that had previous problems with 'luminance variability.' It essentially becomes opaque when it’s powered.

During the day, people would be able to create their own private area by turning transparent...
