Here is the full trailer for the upcoming Iron Man movie. This movie has really shaped up. I’m beside myself with anticipation…

Wii Sports Boxing, Meet The Z Cam

// February 28th, 2008 // No Comments » // Fun Whatnot

This IGN video is a good taste of what the ZCam from 3DV Systems is all about. However, the videos on their site show the broad conceptual usage of such a device. Basically, this camera has full 3D sensing capability at 60 fps. Additionally, it has depth cut off, so you can configure it to ignore things beyond a certain depth of field.

Some big player will buy this company and their technology. The only question is who? Microsoft? Sony? Nintendo? Sony already has the Eye Toy, but this steps the game up to another level. Nintendo is clearly interested in innovative control with everything they are pushing both with the Wii and the DS. However, I think Microsoft will jump on this. The XBox has not dipped into this market yet at all. Plus, the videos show tons of Windows Vista applications and PC integration. I think this is an almost inevitable acquisition.

PS3 Head Tracking - Without A Goofy Hat!

Johnny Lee shook my world with his proof of concept head tracking hack on the Nintendo Wii, but it looks as though Sony is going to be the company to run with his idea. Further simplifying the use, they use the Eye Toy accessory to do head tracking. From this, they show basically the exact same proof of concept demo Lee is now so famous for.

Though Boom Blox will have the honor of being the first to put this in a game! Sadly, the inclusion is merely an easter egg for this strange but intriguing Wii game…

This poster showing all three Iron Man armor designs from the new movie looks awesome. It shows the progression from Mark 1, to Mark 2, to Mark 3. Iron Man opens May 2nd, 2008!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer

I love the Indiana Jones series and I dearly hope this fourth film is as great as the previous three. We will all know on May 22nd. This trailer seems encouraging to me. Harrison Ford looks great back in the role, Shia Lebeouf is an exciting addition to the cast. My fingers are crossed.

Compete - The New Alexa?

// February 4th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Technology Bits

I have to say the site name “Compete” is far more engaging and obvious as a name… As an admitted Alexa-holic, a new site that compares sites is exciting to me. It is very similar to Alexa, though they claim better data sources.
