One of the reasons why I do what I do is because I love the nifty things that technology can do. Such is the case with this "IllumiRoom" from Microsoft Research. I've seen cool stuff under development from Microsoft Research before like the Mirage Table and the Wearable Multitouch Projector. Now I have seen another example of cool tech with the IllumiRoom. The … [Read more...] about Microsoft Research’s IllumiRoom immerses you in video game action

A few years ago at CES, everyone was very, very excited about 3D television. This was back when Avatar was going to be the new standard of movies, even though it has very little imitators. Granted, everyone was ga-ga for 3D, and so everyone wanted a television with 3-D Blu-ray movies that could bring us that experience. In all honesty, I don't know how good the … [Read more...] about Glasses-free 3-D TV: It’s real, thanks to Ultra D

It is amazing that after a week after CES, I am still getting over it. At last-year's CES, I saw a company known as SKECH which makes some really cool accessories for mobile devices. This particular product from SKECH is appropriately called the Skechbook, and it is made for the iPad Mini. As you can see, it makes the iPad Mini look just like a genuine book. I suppose … [Read more...] about SKECH gives us the SkechBook for the iPad Mini

Yes, I have reported on many accessories every since I left CES, and I suppose I have to get TYLT out of my system. I first saw TYLT last year at CES, and I suspect it has been a good year for them. I might as well start with the Band Car Charger. I have to say that I admire its design. Instead of a single wire, this has a flat design which makes it really cool and … [Read more...] about TYLT has the Accessories that you are looking for

Disney has just recently announced a new kind of game appropriately called Disney Infinity, which allows players to create their own virtual universes (or whatever the plural of universe is). What makes the Disney Infinity platform unique is that it is both an action figure collection, and the action figures can be transmitted virtually within the game itself. Granted, … [Read more...] about Disney Infinity combines video games with action figures

I know that I just completed my report on the ibattz iPhone 5 charger but I felt a need to report on the PowerBar 4200, which is made for the iPhone 4/4S and other mobile devices. The 4200 in the name comes from the fact that it is a 4200 mAh, which is "typically more than twice the battery capacity of your smart phone". I suppose that we all could use a charge for a … [Read more...] about The Fatcat PowerBar 4200

I think that we all know that iPhones and iPads are becoming the center of information and technology for just about everything. I guess it is just a matter of time before medical instruments become iDevices. A company known as Masimo has created the iSpO2, a Pulse Oximeter that allows the user to "noninvasively track and trend blood oxygenation, pulse rate, and perfusion … [Read more...] about The iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter from Masimo

Sure, there is a huge market for extra battery power for the mobile devices. Who wants to be in a situation where they run out of power and there is no outlet nearby? The company ibattz has created a battery pack made to fit easily on an iPhone case. Most of the battery packs for mobile devices tend to be bulky, making the case not convenient for the pocket. The Mojo Hi5 … [Read more...] about Mojo Hi5 Power Bank Case for the iPhone 5, by ibattz

Yes, I have seen a lot of iPhone cases at CES 2013, and I am getting them out of my system this week. Let me talk about the SPIGEN SGP, and I will start with the Slim Armor case. The TPU case has shock absorption on the top, bottom, and corners, and it has a polycarbonate midsection that can be removed from the TPU. You can get it here for about $17.99. In addition … [Read more...] about SPIGEN SGP has your iPhone 5 armored

I have seen a lot of screen protectors for mobile phones before, and PointMobl by Radio Shack has created some impact-resistant Glass Shields. These are more clear than plastic shields like those from ZAGG or iShieldz, and are made from tempered glass. I am not certain how it works without any liquids or glues, but apparently, it does. You can pick up the Glass … [Read more...] about PointMobl Glass Shield from Radio Shack

I realize that it is not CES anymore, but I will be reporting on all the innovations unveiled there for many months after. I will have to say that Samsung had several things to unveil, and one of them was the Galaxy Camera. The Galaxy Camera is the first 4G LTE camera, and it uses the 4.1 Android version (Jelly Bean) to take high-quality pictures, and then share them. … [Read more...] about Samsung’s Galaxy Camera

I first encountered the Adonit company years ago, and I finally got a chance to try out one of their products after CES. This is the Jot Mini, and it is one heck of a good stylus. Considering that a lot of us are using phablet style phones and the stylus is becoming an almost necessary accessory, it is good to have. Most Styluses have a very thick tip, but this has a … [Read more...] about The Adonit Jot Mini Stylus

I have seen a lot of interesting accessories for the iPhone that can make it ready for extreme conditions, like skiing or snowboarding. I suppose since people are using their iPhones for all kinds of environments need this type of protection. For example, there is the driSuit endurance, which is designed so you can submerge the iPhone in water. This is especially handy … [Read more...] about driSuit Endurance keeps water out of the iPhone

CES is a very big convention, and it takes place in many buildings in Las Vegas. Fortunately, the convention provides a bus service so attendees can get from one place to another. It was on a bus where I met Nigel B., who is the head honcho of Nigel B. Designs. … [Read more...] about CES 2013 Flashback: I meet the most interesting man in the world

While I was at CES 2013, I had a chance to see a lot of accessories for mobile devices like the ones from Amzer. I finally had a chance to try out some products from Incipio, specifically ones for the MacBook and iPhone 5. I'll start with the Selvage, a MacBook Pro 13in Padded Denim Laptop Sleeve. As you can see, it has denim outside like a pair of jeans. On the inside, … [Read more...] about Incipio has your iDevices covered
