The above video is of WATG's Wimberly Labs' EON Reality's immersive 3D room. The cave(iCube) is comprised of three white walls and a floor, all about 10 x 10 in size. Onto each surface is projected a high-resolution, stereoscopic image. A viewer stands in the room wearing polarized 3D glasses - like you might use in a 3D movie - with small markers that stick out a bit from the frames. The markers are illuminated by IR LED floodlights...

This can well be the cellphone of the future and hell yeah! The future’s looking a lot better than it did when we stared blankly at all those silly concept phones that were never to be.

This makes it flexible enough to fit in...

This one’s labeled as the Sidekick LX. It will be loaded with a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, a fully covered QWERTY and a stunning swivel screen (that quite confidently claims to be sharper than any of its predecessors).

More so because the company makes its own proprietary LiFePO4 battery and can currently sell the car for a US equivalent of $22,000. Now that too much money when converted in to Chinese currency. Also the lack of...
