Whilst walking around the Gadget Show Live I was very excited, yet a little disturbed to notice the Eye of Sauron following my every move. I stopped to video the ‘eye’ which utilizes a Pufferfish Puffersphere orb and Microsoft Kinect to allow it to track a moving object, in this case people walking past the stand. Pufferfish, The Technology and Earthware have worked together on various other projects including the ‘eye’ which has attracted over 500,000 views on YouTube since the video went live in March.

Here we are going to be savouring a true world premiere as we look at the Xbox 360 running the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean game from Disney Interactive Studios. The release date for the game is May but we hope to sweet talk the GAME guys into giving us an early chance to...
Tablet manufacturers are probably scratching their heads a little after the recent Apple iPad 2 release, perhaps wondering what they can do to grab consumers attention? Well ViewSonic has a few ideas on how to persuade consumers as they are allowing them to try it for free and if they don’t like it they can simply give it back. They haven’t gone down the route of large public demonstrations though as they allow customers to purchase the ViewPad 7, take it home then test it out for up to a month and then send it back for a...
Jason Bradbury discovered the Roland percussion machine and had a little go himself.
