<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://lgrombach.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/roca-shower-cabin-transtube-1.jpg"><img src="http://lgrombach.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/roca-shower-cabin-transtube-1.jpg" alt="" title="roca-shower-cabin-transtube-1" width="470" height="453" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-437" /></a>To be honest, when I first read this I thought the shower it self would turn on with motion sensor. Did you think about that? Awesome right, but how would you turn it off then? you cant just stop moving in the shower. But, No the Motion sensor here refers to the door which opens like a supermarket door would, automatically. Not sure again how that works and for people who enjoy their showers too much, would that mean that the shower always opens when you move around, resulting in water everywhere? Other than that the shower looks nice, even if it is a little small. There is no price yet, since as far as I understood its only a concept. While that all isn&#8217;t as good as the <a href="http://lgrombach.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/coolest-aquarium-ive-ever-seen/">aquarium</a> or the <a href="http://lgrombach.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/coolest-desk-yet/">desk</a> that we featured, I would still want to have this in my house.</p>

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp; Desde o primeiro computador ou o primeiro videogame o controle sempre esteve em nossas mãos, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#160;</p>
<div id="_mcePaste">
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;">Desde o primeiro computador ou o primeiro videogame o controle sempre esteve em nossas mãos, de caixas enormes a teclados virtuais, do velho manche do Atari aos bastões do Wii, porém com o avanço estratosférico da tecnologia não há mais a nececessidade de ferramentas para interação, projetos como o NATAL da Microsoft traduzem nossos movimentos em ações, mas seria este o jogo?</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;min-height:15px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;">É indiscutível que a experiência de interação é ampliada por movimentos reais mas na minha mente de gamemaníaco um chute sempre foi triângulo, pra frente e R1, um código digitado pelos dedos que se traduz em uma rotatória perfeita na tela e quanto mais rápidos forem os dedos e o entendimento de suas consequências na tela, melhor e mais devastador é o chute.</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;min-height:15px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;">Dentro em breve um chute no videogame será apenas um chute, conversar e jogar se tornará exaustivo, os gordinhos branquelos com a camiseta do SpaceInvaders não serão mais os craques deste universo, ou seria esta apenas uma previsão incabida?</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;min-height:15px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;">Talvez o jogo continue sendo um jogo, uma interpretação de papéis que faz com seu imaginário te coloque na ação, afinal o jogo de xadrez não é o mesmo que a prática de esgrima.</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;min-height:15px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;">Abaixo um vídeo para pensar no tema:</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0 0 13px;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:13px Arial;margin:0 0 13px;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/6_7BzUED39A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/6_7BzUED39A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s once again time to list some of my favorite Instructables from this week. Most of them are great Halloween projects (which is sad because Halloween is over &#8211; sigh), but hey, we&#8217;re smart right? We can have a costume party anytime of the year. (We could also use some of these for other things.)</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Sew-a-Newspaper-Dress/">Make a Newspaper Dress</a> &#8211; Tired of boring fabric clothing? Try this one on for size! (Pun not intended, but it&#8217;s a good one.) And this is so much cheaper than the dollar bill dress.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Apple-Cider-Donuts/">Apple Cider Donuts</a> &#8211; Aw shoot. I&#8217;m getting hungry again, and I just barely had breakfast.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Halloween-Pirate-Cannon-and-fog-machine-disguiser/">Pirate Cannon Fog Machine</a> &#8211; Now this is pretty cool, and you don&#8217;t have to find large black balls either. I&#8217;ll have to remember this one for the party when my pirate book is finally published.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Ludo-from-Labyrinth-costume/">Ludo from the Movie Labyrinth Costume</a> &#8211; This is for all you 80&#8217;s kids movies buffs out there. This would be a great costume for Dad, and then Mom could be Sarah. Now we just need to find Sir Didymus and Hoggle costumes for the kids.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Pumpkin/">Laser Pumpkin</a> &#8211; This makes a great effect for you pumpkins, but I think it would be even better if the laser moved around.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-controlled-Silly-String-shooter/">Motion Sensing Silly String Shooter Pumpkin</a> &#8211; This is hilarious!!! As a trick-or-treater (or party-goer) passes this pumpkin, it shoots silly string at them. Make sure to use a light colored silly string (orange would be best) and it&#8217;s like the pumpkin is loosing it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not sure how to use these year-round? First, try the laser and the motion sensing silly string shooter in something other than a pumpkin. The silly string shooter would be great on April Fool&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Next, remember that costumes aren&#8217;t just for Halloween parties and theatrical performances &#8211; they&#8217;re also great for getting attention any time of year (just try going around town in one &#8211; but I&#8217;d suggest a non-freaky one (you don&#8217;t want the police after you)).</p>
<p>And of course, the fog machine could be put in almost anything. I think it would look awesome having some fog streaming out from under a Christmas tree. It would give it an angelic look.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sony and Microsoft are getting ready for the next stage of the console war.<br />
Sony announced today that it will launch the next-generation game control device in the spring of 2010, according to plans announced at the Tokyo Game Show today. This device lets you wave a wand around in front of a camera to make things happen in a game. The control is gesture-based and looks more like a wand — not at all like a controller with a bunch of buttons. The unofficial name is the Motion Controller for PlayStation 3. Sony talked about it for the first time in June at the E3 trade show. It has now reaffirmed that the controller will launch in the spring of 2010.<br />
It also said it will launch 13 games that are compatible with the new controller, which will come with a new version of the PlayStation Eye camera. The controller has highly precise controls and motion sensors that are expected to be much more accurate than Nintendo’s Wii controller.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Integrating eye tracking, gesture and motion technology, Nokia shows us a window into a proposed future wrought with potential problems. Nice idea though, but what if your eye&#8217;s don&#8217;t work like everyone else&#8217;s? Not everyone has 20/20 vision and does that factor into Nokia&#8217;s plans? If this is the future of communication does this mean we lose the ability to speak naturally and have real conversations when we can just wear glasses that project what we want to say? There is something cool, yet something oddly uncomfortable about this picture&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Project Natal is a new method of playing Xbox 360, with no controller required. Instead, it “sees” your entire body, and tracks your movement in 3D, and even responds to voice commands, directions, and even your face. Here&#8217;s  a video demo for you below, which you should take a look at, as well as a bunch more info on this exciting product. Read on.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/p2qlHoxPioM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/p2qlHoxPioM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So if you are wondering how Project Natal will change the way you game, let me explain:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Controller-free gaming and entertainment</strong>. This is the basis of Project Natal. There is no controller required. We aren’t just talking about gaming either, as you can fully navigate the Xbox 360 dashboard controller-free as well. There’s a sensor that rests above or below your television that tracks your body movement in 3D, recognizes your face (and logs you in to your profile just by face alone), and reacts to your voice commands.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Full-body play</strong>. You know how the Wii is pretty much restricted to your hands? Project Natal uses your whole body. That means you can do things with your head, hands, feet, torso, etc. Imagine having a boxing match where you actually block and swing with your hands, but dodge and weave with your torso. Or having a karate match using your feet and hands.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Personalized to you</strong>. Because Project Natal links your face and voice to your Xbox profile on the console, all you need to do is step in front of the sensor to log in and get access to your profile. You can speak to characters in games with your voice, and they’ll “know” who you are just by looking at you.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Got all that? You’re probably wondering how it all works, right? Well, here’s are some answers:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Project Natal sensor</strong>. Project Natal uses a fairly advanced sensor to do its magic. The Project Natal sensor combines an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone, and a custom processor that runs some proprietary software. Combined, you’ve got a sensor that tracks body movement, individual voices, and recognizes faces.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>RGB camera</strong>. The Project Natal video camera is an RGB camera that delivers the three basic color components to the Xbox 360, enabling facial recognition and full body tracking.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Depth sensor</strong>. The Project Natal depth sensor is an infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, which allows it to see the room in true 3D, as opposed to trying to guess from a 2D image. The cool thing about this is it works under any lighting conditions, although we aren’t sure about pitch black.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Multi-array microphone</strong>. Project Natal has a microphone that is able to locate voices by sound, and extracts ambient noise (like your crazy loud fridge.) This allows headset-free Xbox Live party chat, and is what lets Project Natal identify you by your voice.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Custom processor with Microsoft software layer</strong>. Controlling all this hardware is proprietary Microsoft software, which is what brings Project Natal to life, and according to Microsoft, is what differentiates Project Natal from any other product on the market.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So the only question left is, “when does it launch?” Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn’t gone that far yet. The wait is going to be painful.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In my previous post &#8221; Tips on saving in energy bills for buildings&#8221; I got a nice comment]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bzz63DOpUp0/SmdbEVxVHlI/AAAAAAAAABA/OpwC9leVj_E/s1600-h/tip2.jpg"><img style="width:320px;float:left;height:240px;cursor:hand;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bzz63DOpUp0/SmdbEVxVHlI/AAAAAAAAABA/OpwC9leVj_E/s320/tip2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<div>In my previous post &#8221; Tips on saving in energy bills for buildings&#8221; I got a nice comment from a reader that most of <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bzz63DOpUp0/SmTT2bCpTLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/P4RfUyM-dhA/s1600-h/tip2.jpg"></a>the tips suggested were practically non-doable in a common housing buildings due to high initial investment and/or longer payback period. That comment intrigued me to elaborate more on tiny-mini low budget tips which any one can apply in her/his house and can save money and earth.</div>
<div><strong><a href="http://www.encelium.com/en/ecs/six-strategies.html">Dimmer</a></strong> switches are the device for controlling brightness of the lights, these switches works very similar to regulator/controller of the fans for controlling speed. A light bulb, on full brightness, can be used for lighting the space for reading and same can be dimmed in night to work as night bulb. Use of dimmer switch saves allot energy, about 25% on dimming on light saves 20% of lighting energy and this smart device pays back in less than an year. Another magical device <strong><a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=thermostats.pr_thermostats">programmable thermostat</a></strong> pays back its cost in less than an year and provide 20-25% energy saving on heating and cooling. <a href="http://www.encelium.com/en/ecs/six-strategies.html"><strong>Occupancy and motion sensor</strong> </a>turns off lighting in unoccupied space, these sensors can ideally be placed in bathrooms, kids room, hallway, drive way or outdoor. These sensor not only save energy on lighting but also increase the life of bulb and save on maintenance. Energy saving and payback depends upon application but energy saving can be up to 50% for the lighting and pay back period varies from 6 months to 2 year.</div>
<div>I mentioned in my previous post too, windows are the main source for heat gain in summer and heat loss in winters, more we work on heat/gain from windows more we&#8217;ll save on energy. <strong><a href="http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/WF/3MWindowFilms/">Energy saving windows film</a></strong> can reduce heating and cooling energy bills by holding 38% escaping heat in winter and 65% of solar heat in summer and above all blocks 98% of UV-rays which cause fading of furniture. Energy saving windows film returns back its cost from 6 months to 2 years. <strong>Curtains and drapes</strong> do not only to cover windows for privacy or control day light but they have huge potential in saving heat loss too, these inexpensive curtains can reduce thermal loss up to 25% (Source:<a href="http://www.eclipsecurtains.com/">Eclipse blackout curtain</a>). In a summer hot day a window loose more heat through a square foot than entire wall and solar gain through the glass accounts for 20% load on A/C, a <strong>fabric <a href="http://www.cheapawnings.com/">awning</a></strong><a href="http://www.cheapawnings.com/"> </a>can save up to 65% on south facing windows and up to 77% on west facing windows and reduction 8 F-15F (5C-8C) in internal temperature. Use of <strong><a href="http://www.air-n-water.com/swamp-coolers-evaporative.htm">swamp (evaporative) cooler</a></strong> is always better option than using air-conditioner for people living in hot, dry place like Phoenix, Arizona or by in large south-west USA or most of the plain area of India, it uses 4-5 times less energy than A/C and initial cost also far below.</div>
<div>A story on energy saving tips can not be complete without mentioning<a href="http://www.energystar.gov/"> </a><strong><a href="http://www.energystar.gov/">energy star </a>products</strong>, <strong><a href="http://letsgogreen.biz/pages/lighting.html">CFL</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.theledlight.com/">LED</a></strong> lights.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>So having worked out that I can make a remote for my Nikon D80 to do some timelapse photography. I started thinking of things I can do to trigger the remote, below video shows it working but you’ll need sound to hear the shutter going.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">First of all check out my tutorial for making the remote as this builds on that tutorial – also saves me having to recap and explain that. <a href="http://luckylarry.co.uk/2009/07/arduino-ir-remote-intervalometer-for-nikon-d80-that-means-timelapse-photography-yarrr/">You can find that here.</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ok so now you know how I’m going to trigger the camera to take pictures. So now we need the sensor, for this I’m going to use a PIR (Pyroelectric InfraRed sensor) IC that works like a switch turning on when motion is detected, the one I’m using is basically a couple of IR emitters and sensors under a Fresnel lens – word of warning make sure you get the power supply right as they tend to smoke otherwise!. It works by measuring any difference to the background temperature and infrared radiation. I’ve also added an LED to signal when the PIR is on or off.</p>

<p>Also <a title="Introducing Airflow QuietAir: the most quiet Extractor Fan for domestic use" href="http://blog.sparksdirect.co.uk/introducing-airflow-quietair-the-most-quiet-extractor-fan-for-domestic-use/" target="_blank">introduced on our blog</a>, and available to be <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank">purchased online via sparksdirect</a>, the <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank"><strong>new QuietAir range from Airflow</strong></a> sets new standards for powerful, yet highly efficient ventilation in the home, and with a sound level of just 25 dB(A) you will hardly notice it is running. <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank"><em>The QuietAir range of extractor fans</em></a> also features energy saving, eco start technology.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Many toilet and bathroom fans are wired to the light circuit and they start costing money by coming on every time you flick the light switch on. QuietAir eco start technology waits to activate the fan for two minutes after the room is occupied, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy usage for every quick visit, especially during night</em>&#8221; &#8211; John Kelly, Airflow Marketing Manager</p></blockquote>
<p>Elegance and style have not been overlooked with a discreet, unobtrusive, clip on, wipe clean <span style="text-decoration:underline;">cover</span> that blends harmoniously with existing decor.<br />
The use of a ball bearing motor also extends fan life in excess of 40,000 hours. A key benefit for social housing installations where long term reliability and low level maintenance and whole life costings are an important issue.</p>
<p>Another helpful feature is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">the two speed mode.</span> The air flow rates of 75 m3/hr or 90 m3/hr may be selected at installation enabling the fan to be sized to the required demand particularly in larger washrooms. Unlike most axial fans, <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank"><strong>QuietAir</strong></a> incorporates a new, high efficiency impeller specially designed to work in combination with the aerodynamic flow straighter supplied to provide greater pressure development than equivalent fans. This allows <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank">QuietAir</a> to deliver 60 m3/hr (16.6 l/sec) against 31Pascals pressure through longer lengths of 100mm diameter rigid ducting including 90O bends, while maintaining the minimum installed performance quoted in <a href="http://blog.sparksdirect.co.uk/category/standards-and-regulations/" target="_blank">the Building Regulations</a>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Approved Document F</span>.</p>

<p>A unique feature available in <a href="http://www.sparksdirect.co.uk/airflow-quietair-axial-fan-low-energy-quiet-extractor-fan-p-16072.html" target="_blank">QuietAir</a> is the “<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Room Refresh</em></span>” option. Perfect for rooms that do not get regular use the “Interval Timer” can be programmed to automatically activate the fan for the duration of the timer setting, every 4, 8, 12 or 24 hours. Hotel rooms, student accommodation, public washrooms and internal bathrooms in sheltered housing and care homes will benefit from this planned ventilation to reduce dampness, extract mustiness and odours and generally help to routinely maintain a refreshed, healthier indoor atmosphere.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s rare that I see something that a corporation does that shows someone, somewhere was thinking. My local Target has been remodeling for the past 6 months or so in order to fit in a grocery section. This is good for me because it means for competition for the two grocery stores less than 1/2 a mile down the street, but also because during this introductory phase the prices at Target on food has been lowered a ton to encourage people to shop. While they rearranged the whole store so that you have to re-learn the layout, and narrowed the aisles by a foot to fit everything in, and in general crammed stuff in so much it looks like a Wal-Mart, it appears someone, somewhere was actually thinking. While walking through the barren wasteland of the frozen section, which has not yet been stocked with everything, I noticed the beer section. The lights turned on as I walked past. Sure enough I look up and there&#8217;s a motion sensor. Now that&#8217;s somebody thinking. When no one walks in front of the coolers, the lights go off after about 10 seconds. Walk in front and they magically come on.</p>
<p>I am curious, though, did anyone do an energy audit to see how much energy is being saved by the lights turning off and how much energy is being used by the motion sensor? It would suck if the motion sensor sucked up enough juice to make the whole idea moot&#8230;. Could this be the start of a new branding/marketing campaign to be energy conscious? Never the less I was so impressed I had to make a movie &#8230;.</p>

<p><em><span style="color:#666699;">A Jewish couple are suing their neighbours in a block of flats, saying an automatic security light is keeping them prisoner in their home because it forces them to break their Sabbath rules. Dr Dena Coleman and husband Gordon claim they cannot leave their holiday flat on the Sabbath because when they do they automatically trigger the light in the communal hallway &#8211; contravening a religious ban on turning on electrical items from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday because it constitutes &#8216;creating fire&#8217;.</span></em></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color:#666699;">The Colemans have offered to pay for an override switch to disable the light sensors during the Sabbath.</span></em></strong><br />
<a title="Religion Is Brain Damage" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1193357/Jewish-couple-sue-neighbours-imprisoning-automatic-hallway-light.html#ixzz0LSowR4Sd" target="_blank">Read MORE.</a></p>
<p>If I understand this correctly, a light that comes on automatically ruins their relationship with their god. Secondly, this relationship can be repaired by a switch that prevents the light from operating automatically. The insanity of all this is incredible. Their god seems to be very weak and needy &#8211; my imaginary friend can kick the ass of their imaginary friend.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Two items this morning caught my attention, both reflecting on the potential of smartphones as &#8216;<em>controllers</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Why the iPhone can't be 'killed'" href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/070109-iphone-killers.html" target="_blank">NetworkWorld</a> has a piece of commentary on why the iPhone can&#8217;t be killed</li>
<li>there are now <a title="Sonos CR200 controller" href="http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html" target="_blank">pictures</a> available of the new controller from Sonos</li>
</ul>
<p>Carolina Milani of Gartner manages to both get it completely right, and completely wrong in NetworkWorld. First, what she got right:</p>
<blockquote><p>Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi says that the iPhone&#8217;s continued success in the smartphone market has as much to do with its relationship to other Apple devices and software as it does with its own capabilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>From technological perspective, there are devices out there that might have higher specs than iPhone,</em>&#8221; she says. &#8220;<em>But there&#8217;s nothing on the market today that pulls everything together to give the <strong>superior user experience</strong> that you get with the iPhone.</em>&#8221; (our emphasis added)</p></blockquote>
<p>Then I believe that she gets it completely wrong when it comes to the potential appeal of smartphones as a gaming platform:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>I think a lot of gamers would rather go for a full PlayStation [Portable] than a phone-based as a video game system</em>,&#8221; she says. &#8220;<em>At the end of day you have enough phones that do voice and they are small enough for you to carry a second device that does only video games. I&#8217;m not sure that a video game phone would bring much to Sony, to be honest.</em>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>Completely missing the point. If your phone is a smartphone, with a responsive and powerful user interface, and motion sensing and haptics, then it&#8217;s an insanely great gaming controller. Two games on the iPhone illustrate this incredibly well:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="X-Plane iPhone app" href="http://www.x-plane.com/iPhone/X-Plane/iPhone_X-Plane.html" target="_blank">X-Plane</a> -the amazing flight simulator</li>
<li><a title="Flight Control iPhone app" href="http://www.firemint.com/flightcontrol/" target="_blank">Flight Control</a> &#8211; the completely addictive casual game</li>
</ul>
<p>X-Plane exploits the graphics capability and the motion sensors as a controller. Flight Control exploits the touch screen and the peer-to-peer networking. Both of them rock, and illustrate just how good a smartphone can be as a games controller.</p>
<p>In fact I was thinking of a post called the &#8216;Flight Control&#8217; test; for other smartphones, can you imagine playing the game on them. In particular, it&#8217;s where the <a title="Nokia N97" href="http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products/phones/nokia-n97">Nokia N97</a> currently falls short (I&#8217;ll update after the <a title="The Symbian Blog has the changelog" href="http://thesymbianblog.com/2009/06/30/changelog-for-the-new-n97-firmware-v110021/" target="_blank">update</a>); there&#8217;s just no way that it&#8217;d work for Flight Control.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the growing importance of interfaces like Facebook may mean that it&#8217;s home screen is a better answer than either iPhone or WebOS.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m even dubious about the <a title="Palm Pre" href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre/" target="_blank">Pre</a>; sometimes it just lags in its responses to touch input, and that&#8217;d cause a major (virtual) mid-air collision.</p>
<p>We are already seeing a lot of <a title="Not all applications are created equal" href="http://endeavourpartners.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/not-all-applications-are-created-equal/" target="_self">investment</a> in games for smartphones, and the iPhone in particular. If games developers like id Software are in love with it, as John Carmack said in <a title="John Carmack interviewed for GamesBeat" href="http://games.venturebeat.com/2009/06/10/next-generation-iphone-game-doom-resurrection-debuting-next-week/" target="_blank">an interview with VentureBeat</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Carmack’s endorsement means Apple has one of the leading game developers in the whole industry on its side.</p>
<p>“<em>I love the iPhone</em>,” Carmack said in an interview. <em>“It’s a real game platform, not a tiny little toy.</em>”</p></blockquote>
<p>It would make a lot of sense for Sony [Ericsson?] to launch a great gaming smartphone that leverages the PSP franchise, and unsurprisingly there are<a title="Sony eyes cellphone/game gear hybrid - Nikkei" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE55Q0HQ20090627" target="_blank"> recent rumours</a> to this effect again.</p>
<p>The Sonos news is interesting; as any of you with both an iPhone and a Sonos music system will already know, the Sonos <a title="Sonos iPhone app" href="http://www.sonos.com/whattobuy/controllers/iphone/default.aspx" target="_blank">app for the iPhone</a> is in many ways a better controller than the dedicated <a title="Sonos CR100 controller" href="http://www.sonos.com/whattobuy/controllers/cr100/default.aspx" target="_blank">controller</a>. In response, they&#8217;re <a title="Automated Home out's the new Sonos controller" href="http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/The-New-Sonos-CR200-Controller.html" target="_blank">launching</a> a new touchscreen controller:</p>
<div id="attachment_62" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 174px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-62 " title="Sonos CR200 controller" src="http://endeavourpartners.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/sonos_cr200.jpg?w=205" alt="Sonos CR200 controller" width="164" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sonos CR200 controller</p></div>
<p>This is important, because it represents another big application area for smartphones: home control.</p>
<p>Apple has its great <a title="Apple Remote iPhone app" href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/" target="_blank">Remote</a> application which now has gesture control, and now almost all of the major home automation companies already have apps for the iPhone: <a title="AMX control via virtual keypad or Jaadu VNC" href="http://www.amx.com/newsletter/200905/iphone.htm" target="_blank">AMX</a> and <a title="Crestron Control App for iPhone" href="http://www.crestron.com/products/show_products.asp?jump=1&#38;model=SW-MOB-AI" target="_blank">Crestron</a>, for example.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, the value and competitive importance means that other platform players are also targeting this; even Nokia through its home control technology and <a title="There and Nokia Home Control" href="http://smarthomepartnering.com/cms/" target="_self">There</a> venture.</p>
<p>Perhaps one of the interesting ways to think about smartphones that deliver great user experience is as &#8216;life controllers&#8217;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-595" title="Picture 1" src="http://massaroca.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/picture-1.png" alt="Picture 1" width="449" height="252" /></p>
<p><em>Meu amigo Joca tirou essa foto e eu coloquei a legenda no computador. Massa, né?</em></p>
<p>Sabe aqueles dias em que você não sabe se deveria acordar? Quando o mundo te maltrata e te joga no chão? Quando aquela moça que você tava querendo dar a mão pra ela e dizer que queria ficar com ela te diz que seu nariz é muito grande, ou que você cheira mal ou que ela tem medo da maneira como você não consegue olhar ela nos olhos e por isso fica olhando o decote dela e às vezes você baba um pouco, mas que culpa você tem? e ela não te entende e ninguém gosta de você.</p>
<p>E daí quando você tá assim, e daí que vontade de chorar e se trancar no quarto e quebrar todos os seus bonecos porque eles são coisa de criança e você já passou dessa idade e FEIO FEIO BOBO VAI EMBORA MAE EU TO BEM ME DEIXA EM PAZ!</p>
<p>Nesses dias eu dou graças pelos videogames.</p>
<p>Videogames são demais.</p>
<p>Toda a tristeza vai embora, e de repente eu sou um porco espinho, ou um encanador, ou um cara fortão, e como eu queria ser tudo isso porque é bem melhor do que ser eu e eu prometi que não ia chorar e eu vou terminar o videogame, quer dizer o texto.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-592" title="Contra-Cover" src="http://massaroca.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/contra-cover.jpg" alt="Contra-Cover" width="450" height="607" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Minhas últimas férias! Muito mais legal que as suas, aposto.</em></p>
<p>Videogames são legais, gente, são mesmo. Não precisa ter pena de mim. Na verdade você deveria ter inveja!</p>
<p>Eu vivo muitas aventuras e minha vida fica mais legal e neles eu posso olhar pro decote das meninas o tempo todo. Elas deixam.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-591" title="ivy01" src="http://massaroca.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/ivy01.jpg" alt="ivy01" width="450" height="274" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Por exemplo.</em></p>
<p>Os videogames nunca me abandonam, e eles nunca brigam comigo nem me magoam, o que é mais do que eu posso dizer de você.</p>
<p>Ok, de vez em quando acaba a luz, mas eu espero e quando ela volta, as aventuras voltam com ela!</p>
<p>A minha aventura favorita é a do Mega Man.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-594" title="megaman1" src="http://massaroca.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/megaman1.jpg" alt="megaman1" width="450" height="630" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Mas ele é mais bonito no jogo.</em></p>
<p>Aposto que no futuro vai ser ainda mais legal jogar videogames e viver essas aventuras e é isso que eu passo o dia inteiro pensando a respeito.</p>
<p>E agora pode ver o programa! Eu nem chorei nem nada.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Di E3 tahun ini, <a href="http://deepskystudios.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/project-natal-xbox360-without-controller/">Microsoft</a> dan <a href="http://deepskystudios.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/e3-2009-sonys-moves-plus-ff-xiv/">Sony</a> sama-sama mengeluarkan fitur motion sensor untuk console next-gen mereka. Tapi Nintendo, yang sudah lebih dulu mengeluarkan controller motion sensor pada Wii dan baru menambahkan Wii Motion Plus, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8080698.stm">tidak khawatir</a> akan tindakan kedua saingannya tersebut. Miyamoto mengatakan bahwa justru tindakan Microsoft dan Sony tersebut menunjukkan bahwa jalan yang Nintendo pilih sudah benar, dan mereka sudah jauh di depan. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Dan untuk meramaikan suasana : Kuro Wii!<br /><img style="max-width:800px;" src="http://deepskystudios.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/wiiblack.jpg" /></p>
<p><i>Over and out.</i></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Una piccola utility..ma scusate il gioco di parole, credo molto utile! WebSaver è un salvaschermo gratuito per OS X che consente di visualizzare una pagina web a scelta, a tutto schermo, nei momenti di inutilizzo del computer. Un mini download e un&#8217;installazione rapida, WebSaver ha solo bisogno di sapere quale pagina utilizzare come screensaver, l&#8217;intervallo per un ricaricamento automatico della pagina ogni tot di minuti.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L&#8217;opzione relativa al &#8220;motion sensor&#8221; se attivata consente persino di utilizzare i movimenti dei portatili Mac per scorrere le pagine &#8220;salvaschermo web&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">L&#8217;autore consiglia un paio di siti da utilizzare con WebSaver che sono davvero interessanti. <a href="http://brock-family.org/map.html">Google Map</a> e <a href="http://newsmap.jp/#/e,n,t,w/it/">News Map</a>, applicazioni utili e belle da vedere. <a href="http://newsmap.jp/#/e,n,t,w/it/"></a></p>

<blockquote><p><em>Compatible with any </em><a title="Click here to read more posts tagged XBOX 360" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/xbox-360/"><em>Xbox 360</em></a><em> system, the &#8220;Project Natal&#8221; sensor is the world&#8217;s first to combine an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software all in one device. Unlike 2-D cameras and controllers, &#8220;Project Natal&#8221; tracks your full body movement in 3-D, while responding to commands, directions and even a shift of emotion in your voice. </em><em>In addition, unlike other devices, the &#8220;Project Natal&#8221; sensor is not light-dependent. It can recognize you just by looking at your face, and it doesn&#8217;t just react to key words but understands what you&#8217;re saying. Call a play in a football game, and players will actually respond.</em></p></blockquote>
