Geeky Gadget # 9: MySky Star and planet Identifier

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend, because i know I did.

This next gadget I'm about to talk about is called MySky:

If you are just like me, and are clueless about the night sky, then  this is the gadget for you. The MySky star and planet identifier looks like a deadly ray gun out of sci-fi movies, but instead of shooting lasers, it will help youlearn about the night sky. All you have to do is point the gun ant a specific star, planet, nebula or galaxy, and it will provide you with all the information you need about the object from the database of over 30,000 celestial objects.

The Mysky identifier uses a 12 channel GPS receiver, magnetic north sensory and accelerometers, which will help you identify and learn about anything in the sky.The best part about this nifty device is that it will even take you on a guided audio and visual tour, which will highlight the best bits based on your current time and location.

The MySky is priced at $400, and it features a full-coulour LCD screen that illuminates sights to easily point at objects, and it can also be used along side a telescope

Thanks for your time guys...see you all tomorrow.

Geeky gadget #6: Ferrari Simulator

There are many people who would like to own a Ferrari, but the problem is that it is too expensive. So the next best thing is a simulator:

German Engineers have developed this simulator by using an Industrial Robot Arm and using Cyber-motion technology. The way it works is that player sit on a cabin at the end of the Robot Arm, and drive a Ferrari with Force-Feedback steering wheel and pedals.The aim is to make the experience real as possible without buying a real Ferrari.

This project was done mainly for research purposes. The researchers wanted to know how humans perceived, and experienced the sensation of motion....So that means this bad boys are not really for sale...well not yet. I bet they will start manufacturing these simulators for public use in a couple of years, and when they do I will be the first to buy one.The Researchers are also planning on adapting the simulator in order to create the experience the effect of being on a plane, helicopter, ships, and other vehicles...which is pretty cool if you ask me.

That is it for today...See you all tomorrow!
