Displair Cloud Vapor Display Lets You Play Fruit Ninja (Minus the Actual Fruits) In Real Life

Fruit Ninja is a fun game to play to de-stress or to just while the time away. There’s just something about slashing pears and slicing oranges endlessly…

Many people have attempted to play real-life Fruit Ninja using real fruits and actual swords. But thanks to Displair, you can now play sort-of real-life Fruit Ninja by slashing the bevy of fruits…with your finger.

Fruit NinjaDisplair is a display that projects images on a cloud of water vapor. It’s like a television with a transparent touchscreen, and it’s one of the awesomest bits of tech that we’ve seen in a long time.

The Displair was showcased at CES 2013 last week, where some people got to play the fruit-slashing game on the impressive display.

Pretty awesome, huh?

Visualized: what your screen looks like after 22 straight hours of Fruit Ninja

This is what your screen looks like when you've been playing Fruit Ninja for 22 hours straight

Twenty-two and a half hours, actually. Qualcomm's gaming marathon is nearing its end right now. Thirty-two gamers set out to break the Guinness world record for the "longest video game marathon on a tablet" at 2:30PM PT yesterday -- when we popped in this afternoon, 26 were still standing (well, sitting), a couple having fallen to that human weakness that is sleep. Those Galaxy Tabs that were still in use, however, had certainly seen better days. More photos of the event, which caps off at 4:30PM PT today, in the gallery below. All of these overtired gamers are competing for a grand prize of $20,000 -- more than enough to buy a nice new screen shammy.

ASUS enlists BlueStacks to run Android apps on Windows PCs, skips all the OS juggling

ASUS Transformer AiO hands-on

Turns out that you won't have to buy a Transformer AiO and use two whole operating systems to run Android apps on that ASUS Windows PC -- the Taiwan PC builder has struck a deal to run Bluestacks' App Player for key software on the ASUS@Vibe side of its new Open Cloud Computing service. The code layer will give free rein to play games like Fruit Ninja or Defender as well as run more sober titles like Evernote and Pulse. Apps will be available across every type of PC ASUS makes, including Eee PC netbooks and other models without touchscreens, but they won't always be gratis. ASUS is providing free Android apps for just the first six months of service and will be charging an unspecified rate for unlimited access afterwards, so you may want to opt for that Transformer AiO or a PadFone to run mobile apps the old-fashioned way.
