December 1, 2010 No Comment
Do you really need another reason to lust after the AR.Drone ? Ok, then how about AR.Pursuit , Parrot’s new multiplayer augmented reality game and the first developed for the AR.Drone? It just hit the iTunes App Store for $2.99. Sure, it’s a few days late, but you can use that pent-up angst to pursue and destroy the AR.Drones operated by your family and friends, just as the baby Jesus intended this holiday season.

Well now Sonos, what’s this? A job opening for a Senior Product Manager to help the company “re-invent home theater sound for the digital age.” More specifically, the position will be responsible for leading “new product creation teams.” Hard to say for sure, but sophisticated wireless audio for home theaters certainly sounds like a safe refuge now that Marantz, Denon, JBL, iHome, B&W, and countless others will soon be competing with Sonos’ whole-home distributed audio solutions just as soon as Apple’s new AirPlay technology can gain traction. Besides, just picture a fully synchronized wireless 7.1 channel surround speaker system that requires just a few minutes to setup and works as robustly as Sonos’ other streaming audio gear. We imagine that it wouldn’t take too many tweaks to Sonos’ existing software and hardware (you can already convert two S5 all-in-one speakers into a more powerful stereo pair ) to pull it off. And anyone who’s ever tried to cleanly wire a home theater for multichannel sound will surely understand why the prospects of going wireless have us more than a little intrigued.

Looking like something that escaped from the bridge of the U.S.S. Palomino is Eizo ‘s DuraVision FDF2301-3D, a dark, menacing visage containing a 23-inch LCD. It sports a full HD resolution and can display content in 3D, but its real trick is that it can do so without glasses. Yes, deep within that dark and angular exterior is the necessary set of hardware to ensure that two eyes see two separate images, supposedly without any of the weirdness we’ve seen with other glasses-free displays. The penalty is of course its imposing bulk and what will surely be an imposing price. No cost has been set, but indications are that it will cost many thousands of dollars — not that it’ll ever hit retail.

Miffed you didn’t buy that $300 8GB steampunk USB drive we shared over the summer? Well, the good news is if you’ve got $395 worth of shillings lying around, Will Rockwell’s 16GB steampunk USB drive christened “The Collective” is yours for the taking. Besides its J.J. Abrams-like name, particularly cool details to highlight include a brass manifold featuring four coolant pipes, a large framed cabochon which acts as a service light, and a faux-gauge made from a domed cover and watch hand. A storage tank serves as a cap for the drive and there’s even a tiny plaque bearing Mr. Rockwell’s engraved John Hancock placed smack dab in the middle. Last but certainly not least, the elaborate thumbdrive ships with a velvet platform and a glass museum case, so that all who visit may bask in its craftsmanship and finally see the rusted version owned by that Victorian-poser down the block as the tetanus carrier it really is. ‘The Collective’ steampunk USB drive is the stocking stuffer Jules Verne always wanted originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:33:00 EDT.
