When it comes to accessories for Apple devices, the market is replete with conceptions ranging from being ridiculously cheap to being utterly ostentatious. And in between this spectrum of gadgetry, there are some that stand out for their real practicality of usage. Well, the Trygger iPhone Case certainly belongs to this exclusive club, with its dual nature of functionality.
A few days ago we talked about how Apple might have started work on their smaller 7-inch variant of the New iPad. And now, we have Nvidia unveiling their ‘Kai’, an Android tablet device to directly compete with the celebrated Kindle Fire. In fact, its price range is also kept around $199. However, the contraption is expected to be infused with a much better ‘powertrain’ than that of Fire.
One can’t deny the air of novelty, when he or she sees a woman skateboarding around an expo and also playing her bass guitar simultaneously. However, the uniqueness of this exciting scenario is not just about the exclusive talent of the woman in question.

Imagine yourself walking into a pub after a hard day’s work, and suddenly the bartender pours out your favorite brew not from any bottle, but directly from an iPad.

Now, for tech enthusiasts who would have somehow concocted the second option, we might have some interesting news for them.
Motion control: the very phrase alludes to a world of advanced scope, where device-user interaction is fascinatingly regulated by just our physical motional patterns. Starting from Nintendo’s Wii to the exalted Kinect, this glorious ambit is marked by analysts and pundits as the ultimate progressive sphere where tech enthusiasts would find their gizmo fueled salvation. And, going along such enterprising lines, a San Francisco startup called Leap Motion has supposedly notched up motion controlling to whole new levels of elaborate interaction. According to reports, their 3D based technology insinuates a user oriented capacity that allows controlling with hundredth of millimeter (1/100) accuracy.
Those who have had their fair share of slasher movies would know about the ‘blood, gore and violent’ nature of chainsaws, as abashedly projected in our pop culture. However, this time the brutality is brought right at your doorsteps by slingshot enthusiast Joerg Sprave.

There are robots and cops and RoboCops. Now, if we have to categorize the above pictured eccentric conception from China, we would admit that it’s quite a difficult task.

Many of us may not know this, but the Loewe group has been intrinsically involved in the developmental phase of television throughout this exalted product’s history.

They have mapped out an ambitious project of contriving the world’s very first large screen TV set, which is completely transparent in its bearing.
Nintendo DS easily holds the record for the world’s largest selling handheld console (and second largest selling gaming console, behind PS2) with over a whopping 150 million units being sold globally. However, this time its functionality has been preferred over its commercial value.

Well, the app in question has the convenient capability to separate audio from the video element. More importantly, the total scope of the videos can be fully controlled by just hand gestures.
