The Carcade uses a webcam to hook onto the inside bottom window and makes the natural environment objects in the game. For example, lets say your playing an airplane game like this one in the video. Well when you pass a tree it will appear on the game and you have to find a way to get around it. As you can imagine the faster your going the harder the game gets. The one thats in the video is just a prototype but it gives a good look at what might be coming to a car near you.
The perfect window gadget for your car. This is also for the ultimate geek. Just stick and let the driver behind you know how you feel.

These are the cars that didn’t make it in the Transformer movie. The car-like vehicles were all entries in the 2008 Peugeot Design Contest. Designers were supposed to create vehicles for the “City of the Future.” Areas of focus included environmental awareness, “social harmony,” interactive mobility and efficiency. As you can see in the “Blade” vehicle above, efficiency is improved with the wind turbine that designer Ying Hui Choo added to charge an on-board electric battery.
This simple cell phone mod is an easy to use wall charger and car charger. Cut a wire of wall charger and solderedĀ connector on it. Then solder phone connector also on car charger to make possible to change a wire with connector which fits in phone between two chargers (be careful to connect correctly + and - poles). And that’s it. It works fine and it won’t destroy your battery. Now you can use it when you go camping or if you have a long car ride.I use it rarely in combination with car charger, but it comes in handy at camping etc.
I would not recommended you do this to an expensive phone.
Scooters are becoming more popular as gas isn’t. This scooter can provide an internet hotspot. So please stop going to coffee shops to have a fancy latte’ and surf the net. I guarantee your breathe stinks after coming out of there.
Caravaning isn’t as popular as it used to be. Damn gas prices. But in case you can still afford it you might want to look into the Caravan Pod. It’s a collapsible trailer that will be able to fit into any parking space. I hear Wal-Mart is getting pissed. When its expanded, it sleeps two people. The interior is nothing to brag about. It looks like an airplane restroom or some sort of space shuttle.
Every one forgot about what Honda introduced in 1999. The first gas-electric hybrid for purchase with the Insight with in no intention of some Prius being better than it. How did a car that looks like a lunch box beat out the Insight? Honda has also failed at the Accord Hybrid. They stopped their production of the vehicle in 2006. We all knew that Honda was working on a larger kick ass hybrid, but Honda has denied that they’d be reviving the Insight scheme for this new vehicle. On Thursday, Honda released the first official information and images of their Prius-killer concept and it’s called, you guessed it, the Insight.
The Speed Vest will reveal the cyclists speed to let the car aware on how fast there going. It gives out a glowing, live readout of your speed. But It’s really for showing off. The six inch high digits are made from electroluminescent wire which will glow for six hours on a single AA battery. The brain of the operation is the Arduino, a programmable circuit which in this case takes the speed readings from an on-wheel sensor and uses the information to control the lights.
