Tweet The guys over at the Gadget Show look like they have put some great tech together here with a Battlefield3 CAVE with position sensing gun and an omnidirectional treadmill. There have been a few of these doing the rounds, quite often in the virtual world space. Of course hooking up to an high end, very popular commercial [...] Tweet At the Develop conference this year I was asked if I minded doing a quick interview for http://www.gamecareers.biz/ so I popped along and this is the result. We had a very quick chat before and then we just blasted through in 1 take Tweet Here is another reason I should probably stick to using an avatar! This is AirBand on the Xbox Kinect. Which ever instrument you mime, guitar, drums or keyboard it picks up your position and lets you play the track (its kind of like a paperjamz guitar).

Point cloud [...] Tweet At Develop last month I got talking to the guys on the stand for the SpecialEffect loan library project 2011-2013. @SpecialEffect is a charity which aim to make all games accessible to everyone. The library aspect is to provide specialist controllers, emrging technology solution and software patches for young people with vary degrees of accessibility issues [...] Tweet TED videos are always amazing but this physical demonstration of a robotic bird in flight is quite remarkable. It is the experts at Festo at work again. There is more on the project and all its related [...] Tweet This is a watershed moment in online and offline identity and expression that Google has brought to the fore for a lot of people.
