Natal Project from Xbox - E3

Another motion detector device introduced by Xbox. The advancement of gaming console has been brought into another level. Have a look:

Touchable Holography

A group from the University of Tokyo have developed a method for adding tangibility to holograms using focussed ultrasonic waves -

This project adds tactile feedback to the hovering image in 3D free space. Tactile sensation requires contact with objects, but including a stimulator in the work space dilutes the appearance of holographic images. The Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display solves this problem by producing tactile sensation on a user's hand without any direct contact and without diluting the quality of the holographic projection.

It's like freaking awesome man!

Imagine playing Counter Strike and felt the head-shot! XD

Have a break, have a laughter.

Although this video is not related to our society, or it should be said as not related to robotic thingy, but I found this interesting and creative. ^^ And, I don't want make the blog so dull~~~ Have a look:
