Here’s a really cool interactive multi-touch LED floor. I wonder if they can turn this into an interactive game sorta like Nintendo Wii.
Sensacell’s latest contraption still manages to stand out by bringing back memories of when mouse trails really were the coolest thing about an operating system. Flashbacks aside, the installation — which is currently at the entrance to the Comunitat Valenciana in Spain — possesses over 1,000 interactive modules, each of which include capacitive sensors and a LED lighting system. The integrated tech enables it to recognize when someone is walking over it and consequently light up as if to leave an eye-catching LED trail of their path.

If you are into riding horses, you will not want to miss out on the RideMaster,a virtual reality for horseback riding. They even got racing-horse simulators and polo simlators for advanced riders.
The £40,000 virtual reality riding machine combines a mechanical horse with a host of electronic sensors and a screen, to recreate the joys of an outdoor ride without the need for mucking out.
The Ridemaster Pro, which is made by Racewood Simulators, is proving a hit with those who live in cities or who want to ride but don’t want to brave the elements.
Designer and company managing director Bill Greenwood said: “Private individuals buy them who don’t have space for a horse in central London.

Well, it wasn’t too long ago that BAE systems were rumored to work on insect-like robots for the military. Now, BAE systems have developed Border Patrol Bots that can go under trucks, equipped with sensors, and practically allow travelers to move along faster while increasing security.
I think it’s a good idea I guess, just don’t tell me any of my tax money is going into it. THEN, I’d have to ask the government to stop doing it as I don’t want to spend money on border patrollization.
With so many people I know are illegal immigrants, well, every person in the U.S. did in fact enter through as an immigrant at some point or another.
Damn, now I have to worry about paying taxes to support the illegal immigrants.
Either way, I don’y have control here.
The robot can … be fitted with heartbeat detectors as well as sensors to identify chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials being smuggled into Britain. News of the device comes only days after a group of stowaways was found after entering the country hidden on Army vehicles.

Looks like Asus Eec Sticks will be available for PC games.
My only concern is that they might be violating some copyright or patents of Nintendo…let’s wait till they sue. In the meanwhile, grab one of these as quickly as you can.
These Eec nunchuks will definitely go well with the new Eec Linux boxes.
Nintendo Wii-like wireless gaming is coming to PCs, with Asus launching the Eee Stick, a package including two controllers that use motion sensors so people can bowl, slash swords and play other games on a PC.
The Eee Stick controllers are designed for PC gamers, not game console users, and will initially be bundled with Asus’ Eee PC low-cost laptops and the company’s new desktop Eee Box.
