Nintendo just announced their new improved motion sensing module called Wii MotionPlus that you can plug into an existing Wii controller.
Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and th

Remember the industrial robot that could swing that big ass arm? Well, here’s another one but is more sensitive for precise control.
This is a small presentation of a university project I have worked on for the last 6 months. Using a real-time system the orientation of the Wii Remote is polled and sent to the Stäubli TX 60 industrial robot. The concept is stolen from a game named Kororinpa but the graphics are little more r
Is Samsung i900 an iPhone Killer? I think not with a Windows Mobile and no flash support.

The 240 x 400 display does seem a little weird, but is not unheard of–we’ve seen it in the ASUS M930’s internal display. It makes sense, too, if you are to use it as a media player because the aspect ratio is much closer to the 16:9 aspect ratio commonly
Here’s a great idea for schools. It’s a solar shade veil that would generate power for the schools while providing shade for the students and teachers.
Why didn’t we think of this earlier like 10 years ago?
An Australian government funded initiative, the VEIL solar-shade is a future possibility for the integration of solar-energy harvesting technologies into a form that is pragmatic (providing shade & energy), evocative and educational.
The idea is very simple: instead of having simple canopies outside the scho
