Gadgety Girls Must Have 3D Stiletto Police Heels!

by Jay Garrett on February 5, 2010

Ok Gadgety girls!

Some of you no doubt like to dress up and perhaps a future-cop may be part of your repertoire.

If that happens to be true then you’ll be hoping these neat heels become reality – almost as much as us guys ;)

The 3D Stiletto Police have been designed by Tim Cooper and whether this concept gets accepted or not these shoes are very cool.

As you can see, these shoes are wonderfully detailed with graphics, LEDs and even carbon-fibre effect heels.

Let’s hope that these get made eh?

More pics below :)

Augmented Reality Rock, Paper, Scissors T-Shirt – Arm Busts out of Chest

by Jay Garrett on January 24, 2010

Perhaps one of the lowest-tech games, Rock-Paper-Scissors (even the game devices are low tech!), has just been given the AR treatment.

To the naked eye, the shirt is a ‘normal’ tribute to the game Rock-Paper-Scissors.

The geek magic happens once you place yourself in front of a puter that’s set to T-post’s special web app and switch on your web cam.

An eerie green arm emerges from your chest to challenge you to a hand game of chance…………

Check out the vid below :)

Not sure what I’d rather wear now – these designs or the QR [...]

Sony Ericsson has unveiled its latest fashion phone.
The angular clamshell has been named Jalou.
Looking not too disimilar to the Bao concept I spotted on the interwebs a few days ago the Jalou is just 73mm long (or “shorter than your favourite lipstick” as SE puts it).

This could have been beautiful!
This totally cool looking C64 emulator was set to bring back my teenage years but no!
Apple has officially rejected another app that at first glance seems harmless, genius and fun.
The Commodore 64 emulator from Manomio offered the coolness of a realistic joystick and keyboard, portrait and landscape gaming, and a fully licensed C64 emulator code.
