The Novint Falcon is a force-feedback mouse that pushes against your hand and uses vibrations to simulate texture. Designed to allow for a total 3D gaming experience by simulating different textures that might be used in the game. We see it as kind of a vibrating console controller like we see in Playstation controllers and alike.

The Novint Falcon is described as having a revolutionary interface that will not only make the 3D touch possible, but will do so for a wide spread consumer use. This would be the first time something attempting to create a more real gaming texture could be used in everyday use. Though, a product like this would be geared specifically to gamers unless some form of software is added for other apps. What about a blogger Falcon? Huh, huh? — Andrew Dobrow

Pantech IM-R110 Cellphone, Swivel What Your Momma Gave You

pantech im-r110 cellphone

One thing I’ve learned from watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through my childhood, was the phrase “if you have it, flaunt it”. Much like Carlton and his crazy swiveling hip dance, the Pantech IM-R110 (another Korean made mobile) adds a crazy swivel screen to it’s crazy t-shaped body. Along with it’s love it or hate it design, comes the standards of Korean cellphones, such as DMB and 3D gaming capabilities, and also the ability to double as a portable media player. And with a (surprisingly low) 2 megapixel camera, which adds the feature of an auto focus, snap shots are also relatively easy for the amateur photographer in you.

Surprise, surprise. The phone is only available in Korea. *sigh* A man can dream…a man can dream. Catch the jump for some more pics.
