PlayStation Eye Arrives This Summer April 29, 2007

Sony is hoping to out-do the entertainment value of the original EyeToy by announcing the PlayStation Eye for the PS3, which will arrive here this summer. Newer games [Eye Of Judgment] and some online services are coming to make full use of the tech. In the meantime it’s a decently specified motion-sensing Web-cam with some ‘advanced’ audio tech crammed in.
It can record video at an impressive 120fps [320 x 240] or 60fps [640 x 480]. No HD support but then this is hardly surprising in a Web-cam. There’s a two-position zoom lens for close-up and full body options and the Eye has been designed to cope well in low-light conditions.
It sports four in-built microphones which Sony claims greatly reduces echo and background noise, meaning audio chat remains clear even in noisy environments.
Playstation Eye will come bundled with free EyeCreate editing software, that allows you save, edit and add visual effects. These videos can be captured directly to the PS3’s hard disk drive and capture modes include slow motion and time-lapse. No price yet.-Martin Lynch

Sci-Fi PC Chair Reduces Fatigue [And Bank Balance] April 29, 2007
READ MORE Entertainment , Gizmodo UK , Laptops , PC
Just what kind of chair do you need for comfortable computing becuse it seems sitting upright is just so yesterday's news. We now have gaming chairs for social lepers and computer beds designed to ensure that you might never leave the house again.
Today, we have a stylish new sci-fi addition to the wacky computer desk/chair club. The forthcoming [hopefully] G-Tech Neber chair is currently on show in Korea. It’s very sleek and probably very expensive but just look at all the chrome and clock-like structure with more than a passing nod to the Matrix movies - just without the 8-inch spike in the base of the skull.
The curved spine allows for different seating positions and the company claims it’s ergonomically sound by providing plenty of support for your back, wrists, head, arms and feet. In fact, one of the company’s selling points is it can help ‘reduce fatigue’. But then, that’s probably because you’re lying down to start with.-Martin Lynch
