Impressive: SandyBox Uses Kinect For DIY Mini-Landscaping (Video)

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 09:30 AM PST

There no single aspect of the XBox Kinect that is not a game changer in some way. Judging by the number of XBox hacks featured here at Geeky Gadgets, no game console comes close in terms of sheer applications. Now two enthusiasts from the Czech Republic have created a 3D geographic tool called the SandyBox. What it does is project geographical features over a miniature landscape. Don’t miss the video after the break.

Tamagotchi Releases 15th Anniversary Model

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 09:15 AM PST

Ah, Tamagotchi, the most annoying game ever conceived that once took the world by storm. Other than the Sims, it’s the only other game that makes pooing look like fun. Tamagotchi sure had its day among the school-going set. Too bad it hasn’t transitioned beyond a specific age group; then again, it really fascinated the tween demographic during its apex a decade ago. It’s still big in Japan, which explains Bandai’s latest move. To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Bandai is outing the Tamagotchi iD L that has got a ton of neat features. Learn more after the jump.

Take A Nap While Sledding: The Snowboogie

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 08:41 AM PST

Oops! In fact, don't take a nap while sledding because it’s dangerous. The suggestion was unavoidable though given the shape and size of the SnowBoogie Fantom X. It’s a ‘professionalized’ sled with mechanical controls. It can’t quite perform like a snowmobile (Modern Warfare type escapes are impossible with this clunker) but it does perform pretty splendid down a slope. The controls, of course, are for maneuvering it in case of obstacles.

The Defibrillator Toaster Brings Your Breakfast To Life

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 05:56 AM PST

Unorthodox perhaps, but toasters are so boring anyway. It’s about time someone came up with a fresh take on the vital machine that warms our bread every morning. If toasters weren’t around, gross people would probably stick their bread slices in armpits to warm them. Ugh! However, since this defibrillator is shaped like a defibrillator, don’t think you can put it on your chest and resuscitate yourself. Bad idea! Real life is a far cry from Battlefield 3, people.

Maybe it's the gloomy economic forecast for next year but a lot of survival equipment is hitting the market these days. The renowned firearms company Mossberg, a name which evokes mental images of pump action shotguns, are now marketing their very own apocalyptic insurance that comes in an easy to carry package.
