3DSwitch Will Enable TVs To Know Whether You Want 3D Or 2D Shows
March 9, 2010
Sisvel and start-up 3DSwitch are busy touting a rather cool device that will allow your TV to correctly detect whether you’re trying to watch a program in 2D or 3D. What it does is that it’ll detect whether you’re wearing 3D stereoscopic glasses, and whether you’re not, thereupon the TV switches to 2D mode. It can be implemented in 2 ways, the first being whether you use active glasses that contain a battery and some electronics, it could next have a capacitive sensor that sends infrared commands to the TV, letting it know to use 3D; whether the user is using passive glasses, soon after the TV must be equipped with a camera that can look at viewers to see whether they’re wearing glasses, and whether those glasses are polarized glasses for stereoscopic viewing. It’s good to see 3D technology being developed and making inroads to becoming mainstream. We’re looking forward to 3D movies becoming the norm rather than the exception.

Soap Light portable lamp
January 22, 2010
We've seen other gizmos made out of soap before, but that one takes the opposite route - the Soap Light is a portable lamp that comes in the design of a soap. You will additionally find it accompanied by a charger base, and once it is fully charged, the Soap Light can be placed on just about anywhere you like. There are no switches to grapple with since the Soap Light is touch-sensitive when it comes to turning it on/off. In order to dim or brighten the light, just rub the bar in the right direction and you're good to go. Nice to know that doing that won't outcome in suds appearing, but we're pretty certain that is one soap that loathes water.

You’ll be able to choose amidst “clicky”, “tactile” or “linear” switches for the response. Would you want to change your keyboard settings that often? We’re not certain, but let us know what you think, via the comments section.

USB hub with switches
December 17, 2009
What you see here is but a standard USB hub, although it comes with the added advantage of letting you know which USB cable is connected at a glance thanks to a LED which lights up. Each connection will be equipped with a switch, allowing you to have full control by connecting it or otherwise. Looks a wee bit too bulky for our liking though, but at least you have hardware-side control by your devices with that $88 purchase.
