Lately the style "Air" is successful in not only designers at Apple.

For proof, here is the first (?) Inflatable mouse! More space problem, it can easily be slipped between the keyboard and the screen of your PC. You can also wrap the wire around and stuck the USB into the tongue ...

Perhaps the future must-have accessory for any self-respecting geek. ;-)

You can view more photos here .

When is the canary-mouse inflatable blogging even in his pool?

Here's what I think is the most amazing of home theater!

With no less than 35 amps, 37 speakers, not to mention the blu-ray player, the HD-DVD player and finally the PS3 is by far the most complete multimedia package of the ones I've seen.
And yet, I pass over the projector and the characteristics of the screen.

You will find the complete configuration here .

And for the happiness of the eyes here are some pictures:

What you will see there made me completely hallucinating! It seems so simple ...

First I must make a small presentation of the Wiimote. It consists of an infrared camera with a resolution of 1024 × 768, set in "sham" and a 3-axis accelerometer (+ / - 3g). Both operate at a frequency of 100Hz.

Here's what Johnny Chung Lee proposes to carry out using a Wiimote:

• Tracking fingers (or other object) in a 2D plane

For this it uses the infrared camera. You tell me that our fingers do not emit infrared ... But it's not quite true: they do not emit, but they reflect against! However this amount is insufficient for the Wiimote. This is why Johnny Chung Lee proposes to carry out a plate completely filled by infrared LEDs, to be placed behind the Wiimote. Thus the light emitted LED will not be reflected on the fingers and the Wiimote will therefore sufficient infrared to detect them. However, with such a method, the Wiimote does not detect only the fingers, but also the rest of the hand. That is why he uses a reflective surface (cheap on eBay, according to him) to emphasize the reflection of the fingers and thus eliminate other parasites.

Regarding the material used, a Wiimote connected to PC via Bluetooth and a program provided on its website (see: below), are sufficient.

And the result:

• Make a whiteboard or a tablet for nothing
  

As noted previously, the program associated with the Wiimote Johnny Chung Lee can detect any source of infrared ... so why not an LED. He had the idea to create an old ballpoint pen, replacing the mine by an IR LED and a push button, a virtual pen.

By placing the Wiimote so that 45 ° of its scope capture a complete picture or any other flat surface (table, PC screen, ...) and after calibration of another program for its implementation, it is able to simulate a "click" (LED lighting), and position the pen with precise coordinates. Thus it is possible to control Windows, drawing with Paint, etc..

As a video is still more explicit:

• Simulate the movement in space by monitoring the head

For this last demonstration, which also caters for video game developers, Johnny Chung Lee shows how to simulate a "window" in 3D space. Let me explain: when approaching a window of our viewing angle of the landscape widens when one moves to the right is part of the landscape that was hidden on the left ...

Thus by determining the position of the head its program is able to determine what needs to be visible or not. That might seem like a revolution in FPS games.

So I would say, your Wiimotes!

Finally, note that all programs and detailed explanations are available on its website (in).
