Nintendo 3DS

Anyone who knows me knows I love my gadgets, particularly taking a new toy and find its limits. Pre-Xmas it was the Kinect, and yesterday the latest toy (abet for my son ;-) ) was the Nintendo 3DS.

Is it amazing? In short, most definitely, the 3D is more impressive than most 3D TV's, but as someone lucky enough to see a the 3D TV glass free demo in St Pancreas just over a year ago, its the future that excites me, imagine convergence between the Kinect and the glasses free 3D? Holodeck anyone....

Kinect rocks / Win Prototype Project

Its very, very rare these days that I get a chance to cut code :-( , but the prospect of working on a Win MS Kinect proto-type project was just to much for me to ignore.

For those living beneath a stone for the last year, Kinect is Microsoft's 3D, depth sensing, multi directional array microphone wonder kit. Is it good? Personally as a gagdet freak over the last 20 years, I can say that nothing has impressed me so much in terms of its capability.

The drivers I've used can be found at the site below;
