Half Dome Screen

via Gizmodo by Danny Allen



Ha, this looks awesome. This half dome projector screen is big enough for two people to sit in front of, and isn't just a damn prototype—the California company behind it actually has them for sale.

The dome screen measures 3 by 6 feet, and uses a special 18-inch mirror to reflect the image from your projector that's hidden away on the outside. In the pic above you can see the little hole that the projector beams through, but in the video below they've just clumped it on the desk.

The screen ain't super cheap at $1440 (including international delivery), but that's still about $3000 less than some similar products we've seen in the past. If you're a gaming junkie (particularly with racers or flight sims), have a projector lying around, and don't mind a little bit of skewed perspective around the edges, then this might be an alternative to a big screen HDTV. Maybe.

Citroën GT Concept

via Car Body Design - News on 6/17/09






The GTbyCITROËN has completed laps of honour at both the Nürburgring and Le Mans 24 hour endurance races.

On 3-5 July it will make its UK debut climbing the famous 1.16-mile Goodwood Hill at this year’s Festival of Speed.

The GT Concept was first unveiled at the Paris Motorshow on last October where the partnership between Citroën and Polyphony, designer of the driving simulation game Gran Turismo5 on the Playstation 3, unveiled the real world replica of the digital vehicle.

Measuring nearly five-metres long (4.96m), and just over a metre high (1.09m), the GTbyCitroën is characterised by a large wraparound windscreen which flows into the roof and on into the rear mobile airfoil.







The dynamic supercar feel is further enhanced by wide air intakes, a flat underside, rear air-diffuser, clear-cut horizontal headlamps, gullwing doors and diamond-effect 21 inch aluminium wheels.







According to the latest information, the company's design director Jean-Pierre Ploue and Products and Markets Manager Vincent Besson have confirmed that the GT Concept will be likely to enter limited production.

The production version, which could be built in about 20 units, could have the electric powertain replaced by a more conventional V8 engine and would have a very exclusive price tag, given the fact that Citroen does not intend to lose money with the limited series.





Should it be approved, a first model could appear at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, with first deliveries expected for 2010.

Dante's Inferno este principalul rival al celui de-al treilea joc din seria God of War, iar EA prezintă un mic teaser E3 pentru unul dintre cele mai aşteptate jocuri de la Los Angeles.




Dante's Inferno este dezvoltat de EA Redwood Shores care sunt răspunzători pentru excelentul joc Dead Space lansat anul trecut. Aceştia au promis să aducă o perspectivă contemporană a purgatoriului şi iadului care va da naştere unor monştrii nemaiîntâlniți până acum.

Platformele şi data de lansare nu au fost confirmate, dar dacă luăm în calcul producătorul atunci mai mult ca asigur că vom vedea o lansare simultană pe PC, Xbox 360 şi PS3.

Puke Into the Centrifuge That Is the Storm-G Arcade Game

via Gizmodo by Andi Wang on 3/27/09


Just like any other racing game, the object of Sega's Storm-G is to get down to the finish line as quickly as possible. However, unlike other racing games, there's a twist—literally.

Storm-G is a futuristic bobsled arcade game that features a cockpit, which physically turns you around at every turn. While simulating tunnels, it'll also flip you in insane 360-degree circles that are definitely bound to make you puke and give you whiplash. Kind of makes you wonder if gamers will have to sign a waiver before pretending to be Jamaican bob-sledders. [AkihabaraNews via UberGizmo]
