Combine the urban security suit with the augmented reality mask and you get the future outfit of pro-tennis. A recent Lacoste ad, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the brand, shows a player dressed in a ridiculous garment, playing tennis in a fictional, digitally-enhanced room. The racket has robotic features and assembles itself right out of the bag. The walls measure the speed of your slice and even returns the ball to the player.  Seems pretty intense for a tennis game but I’d be willing to... Continue reading

Nothing beats seeing the New York Giants take a huge shit on every team in the NFL and then watching Dan Marino freak out on ESPN. It’s just a wonderful thing. ESPN keeps a lot of us glued to the TV and now we have yet another reason not to buy our wives anniversary gifts: The Wi-Fi-enabled ESPN Ultimate Remote. It has a screen with an Apple-esque menu system, built-in Wi-Fi, home theater management, control of IP-based equipment and one-touch... Continue reading

Apparently robots partaking in athletics is becoming a recognized venue. I’m not talking about Battle Bots, although I’ve heard that the show is planned to make a comeback. I’m talking about straight-up American football (ironically taking place in Japan.) The video above shows two teams consisting of pure robotics, battling it out on a mini-Football field. Now, these bots aren’t quite up to snuff with say, the NFL. Not yet at least. It’s more along the lines of Foosball. Their... Continue reading

Sport team coaches have the habit of being overbearing. And by overbearing, we mean on your ass like a gerbil to his Richard Gere (oh…snap!). Coaches need a gadget to keep their minds occupied so you athletes can take a break. The Coach’s Clipboard uses Wi-Fi technology to keep your coach up to snuff with all of the latest coaching information, as well as 80GB HDD space to save play information and browse through draft pick information and such. They... Continue reading

I, for one, was never much a follower of NBA or NCAA basketball. I was far too busy painting figurines of mighty warriors. But you fans out there can go pretty nuts when it comes to showing team spirit. This Basketball Hat takes fanaticism to the extreme, cementing a 13 x 15.75 inch basketball on your skull. You can tell from the glint of insanity in this man’s eyes that he is not your average fan. No average fan would... Continue reading

Golf may not be your thing, but chances are gaming is right up your alley–and what gamer wouldn’t dig controlling mini Mario and Luigi golfers with a Famicom style wired remote? The objective is to use the A and B buttons on the remote to help the Bros. put the ball into the hole–it’s the most fun you will have playing golf without wearing retarded pants. Available for $24.99 —Sean Fallon Link

The Megatouch Elite Edge ION might looks more like a slot machine than something you’d see in an arcade, but the ION is what we might see being added to the arcade floor in the near future. Featuring a 15-inch touch screen, a joystick, some stunning 3D graphics, and a collection of 102 games (ranging from puzzles to sports and action), the ION wants to be in an arcade near you. Want one for your personal arcade? Pick it up... Continue reading

When we want music, we want music everywhere, some of us even want it underwater, so somebody created the underwater MP3 player. The problem of listening to music underwater is that the earphone lines are going to tangle, let alone the fact that your ears would feel uncomfortable because of the super tight earbuds; another danger would actually be not knowing what’s going on underwater because you can’t hear. Thanko has solved all these problems today. Similar to their original... Continue reading

Not sure if you have ever heard of EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), it’s basically using an external electrical source to stimulate your muscles to work, hence mimicking the very act of working out. Not sure if it works, and not sure how well it works. Anyway, some Japanese company is combining this with your mouse, so you would have EMS powered over USB, you may also change the work-out mode with the accessory buttons on your mouse. Who wants to... Continue reading
