It's like mainlining movies: iTheater

Futuristic shades that you can watch movies on are usually the stuff of far-fetched films and episodes of Star Trek. But as with mobile phones, voice-activated computers and cloaking devices (what, haven't you got one?), science fiction has now become science fact.
Ingenious optical trickery causes iTheater's twin TFT LCD monitors to replicate the effect of watching a massive 50" screen from a distance of 8.5ft. Don't ask us how - apparently it's got something to do with optical alignment, binocular display and pupil size. All we know is the effect is like having a home cinema grafted on to your retinas - amazing! And there's no need to strain because the dual screens cause eyes to focus at 2.5m.

Apart from welding a 50" plasma to the end of your hooter and chucking a black sheet over your head, we can think of no better way to completely immerse yourself in a movie. So hurry up and hit Buy. The future's so bright, you just gotta wear iTheater!

Laserpod is coming! WOW!

Remember the nebulous, psychedelic sky from Flash Gordon? (We're talking 'Gordon's Alive?' Flash, not the rickety old B/W series). Well imagine looking at it through a kaleidoscope from inside Jim Morrison's altered state of mind and you'd begin to understand the mesmerizing beauty of the Laserpod.


The effect is not dissimilar to a kind of hi-tech, souped-up lava lamp. But all this is just a preamble to the main event. Because with the diffusers in place, the Laserpod acts as a spectacularly captivating piece of ambient lighting. Remove them, though, and the room is immediately transformed into a mind-boggling supernova of nebulous kaleidoscopic light. Try saying that after a few pints of loudmouth soup! (Which, incidentally, is probably the best time to appreciate the marvellously mind numbing qualities of the Laserpod). With the Laserpod Original you can choose between two dazzling displays - red laser for a scintillating astral projection or a red laser / blue LED combination for awesome cosmic cloud effects.


I don't need to tell you what a brilliant device this is for when you seriously need to chill. Indeed, the Laserpod makes all other light show-type devices look about as impressive as those traffic light affairs that end-of-the-pier DJs employ when playing the disco version of 2001: A Space Odyssey.



Despite its power, the Laserpod only requires 3 x AA batteries, but it can also be operated using the supplied mains adapter. (Handy, as time becomes an abstract phenomenon when you're busy being visually assaulted by the Laserpod).

This is one item that really has to be seen to be disbelieved, and we confidently predict the Laserpod will move off our shelves faster than you can say 'Wow, man; these shape-shifting beams of light are really twisting my melon.' :)

You will find other Laserpod information in internet!

ROBOREPTILE BREAKING NEWS

Child Magazine names the Discovery Channel Roboreptile as one of the Best Toys for 2006. The Miami Herald reports that It was selected by a team of experts who reviewed hundreds of the hottest toys for children. In addition, kids of all ages tested the expert’s picks in live tests conduted at the magazine’s office.

Where the Roboraptor was known to be challenged when it came to walking, especially on carpet and when it’s batteries weren’t fully charged, the Roboreptile is wonderfully agile and maneuverable. It can turn on a dime and it’s quick. It can also walk and run quite well on reasonably short carpet.

It’s feisty, really feisty! In fact, it has a brand new behavior mode called “berserk” mode which it enters if you try to put the calming hood on it’s head and it falls off. Then Roboreptile acts like a rodeo bull gone mad for a while charging at anything it can find!
Contrary to earlier reports, there is indeed a remote control for the Roboreptile, that also doubles as it’s feeding pod; it’s quite large in fact.

Early reviews of the Roboreptile are quite positive, with some cautions about very young children being taken aback by it’s aggressiveness. A better fit for them might be the slower moving playful Roboraptor which is now on sale at the Discovery Store for under $50. Below are some truly juicy articles and user reviews to help you learn more about WowWee’s new robot dinosaur.
