This Tactile Gaming Vest isn’t the first force feedback vest that we’ve encountered, and hopefully it won’t be the last. that one was created at the University of Pennsylvania, and is designed to let its wearer feel a punch or gunfire hit in sync with what’s happening on screen. Aside from enhancing the game, and immersing you in the game, it’ll additionally supply a good incentive for you to improve and obviously not get hit in the game. The vest can additionally be modified for real duration simulation and training by the military, so it does have another market aside from gamers. The vest uses four solenoid actuators in the chest and shoulders in front, and two solenoids in the back. Vibrating motors clustered against the shoulder blades simulate a reaction similar to getting stabbed. The experience is apparently close to a paintball excursion, but doesn’t hurt as much (fortunately).

They say never to judge a book by its cover, and we guess that the same can be said of the DOK-ING XD electric car – after all, it does looks rather diminutive in nature, but that made in Croatia set of wheels is capable of accelerating from a standstill to 100km/h in but 7.7 seconds. Granted, it is pretty light in nature at just 100kgs, measuring 2.8m enlarged, but the 80kW/360Nm electric motor which is powered by lithium-ion-phosphate batteries packs quite a punch. Apart from that, it can recharge in 8 hours, which means you’d do well to juice it up during the night before the next day begins.

Don’t distress about robots taking by the world in an apocalyptic end to mankind – that day, whether it ever arrives, is too far off the horizon. After all, despite being rather lifelike in linguistic ability (which you’ll find out why later), the RoboThespian RT3 doesn’t quite pack the punch we’re looking for as it is more of an interactive exhibit than a real robot. After all, you are the one who programs it to say whatever you want using text-to-speech software with support for up to 15 languages. Apart from that, you can add more personality using custom motion routines via Blender (an open source 3D design software), with it fully articulated hands and fingers adding more realism. Just don’t expect to see the RoboThespian RT3 reach under your Christmas tree as it retails for a whopping $84,000.

Shuttle used to roll out extremely compact computer chassis that packed quite a punch within, and we guess things have hardly changed since soon after whether the Shuttle XS35 nettop is any indicator. that 3.3cm thin machine comes with a dual-core Intel Atom D510 processor inside, boasting NVIDIA Ion 2 graphics chipset with HDMI output alongside all the usual suspects – an Ethernet jack, a multicard memory card reader, a plethora of USB 2.0 ports, VGA and relevant audio outputs. Being so small, it runs quietly with very little sound coming out of it apart from the whirring of a DVD or from its 2.5″ hard drive. No view on pricing, but expect the Shuttle XS35 to ship in Q2 that year. [Press Release]
