Dragon Quest Controller for A real time War

Square Enix has a game named Dragon Quest Swords in 2008, which uses the Wiimote to simulate a sword.

Well this wasn’t the first one, since The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess already comprised the same. I am not sure that was the first time its been done, but using the Wiimote as a sword has now become a convention.

What is the actual convention is the controller from Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory. Yes, that is a very long name, and this is the Wii version of the controller.

Choosing an apt garden light that fits your garden and add colors to it is a big deal of course. If it is that case, You got a nice option now.. “The Blossoming Garden Solar Light”. To mention - it absorbs solar power like most outdoor lights, but it it uses up all of that power for more than the LED light. This motorized flower blooms every single morning and closes up at night jus like a real flower.

iFrogz The Bomb is the bomb

How would you react if you receive a bomb in the mail? Don’t bother, you will be quite alright. The Bomb actually refers to The Bomb from iFrogz.

The Bomb is a set of speakers that can fix together to form a ball shape. Granted, I’m not aware why they chose ball shape, but when they are separated, the speakers look like Yin and Yang symbols. The 50 mm speakers is carrying 2W each, with a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms.

These two speakers always stay connected by a curly cord that joins them. These speakers can connect to anything with a 3.5 mm input jack, yet they still need power. Power can be accomplished with 3 AAA batteries, or through a USB internet connection.

Mertz active vision robotic head from MIT

I knew realistic robot heads like the Mertz active vision head robot before, and they are usually designed to see what it would be like if robots could display facial expressions.


In that case, you might wonder why someone would design this robot head to look like a freaky baby head instead of a handsome face.
Actually, the ultimate purpose of this robot isn’t to test how a human will respond to it, but how the robot will react to humans. Check out more on this MIT experiment after the jump.


According to the source Mertz is “built to recognize and react to faces and expressions, aiming to research socially situated learning which is similar to an infant’s learning process”.
In other words, it is a robot which is able to “learn” just like my baby son is learning to recognize facial features, and learning to speak by parroting those around him.

So how much emotional expression is it capable of? Well, I once heard that humans have thousands forms of expression in their face, and I believe that Mertz is capable of 13 degrees articulation in its neck alone. Who knows what its eyes and mouth are capable of.

This robot is the awesome creation of Lijin Aryananda and Jeff Weber at the MIT Media Lab. I strongly hope this experiment works, but if it does, it proves that machines can learn. Whoa, not certain that I’m ready for that one.

Scandyna Megapod Speaker

Most speakers are made to be pushed into corners and barely ever get noticed. This Scandyna Megapod Speaker flat refuses to do that exactly. The shape itself draws your attention, then with the bright red it becomes impossible to ignore. Of course if red won’t really go with the colors within your home, there are many other color choices that aren’t quite so beautiful.

This measures 884 by 348 by 535mm and it also has a 25mm free-mounted tweeter. In addition to that it also contains a 125mm midrange driver. If these look familiar, it’s probably because you would have come across the Minipod. It attributes the same odd shape as the Megapod. This larger version comes in various colors as blue, red, silver, yellow and white. To purchase it, it will cost around $2149 in Amazon.
