Reading sign language has always been in the cards for Kinect, ever since that showed up as a feature in some of the early patents. A while ago, it managed to read two of the most sweeping, exaggerated arm-based gestures. But since then, it’s gotten good. Like, really, really good.

AT&T SiriusXM deal puts always-connected telematics in Nissan vehicles

Technology in the car is becoming more and more ubiquitous, thanks to car makers putting in touchscreen controls, navigation systems, and mobile internet to provide real-time information to drivers. Nissan wants to get in on the fun and has put SiriusXM to the task of implementing a telematics system inside Nissan vehicles, and the company has partnered up with AT&T to make that happen.

AT&T will be there to give the SiriusXM system mobile data for driver information. The always-connected system will be similar to General Motor’s OnStar in the sense that it will provide assistance for emergencies and roadside problems, and can even be used to track a stolen vehicle. Plus, we wouldn’t be surprised if they threw in some more bells and whistles on top of that.

In fact, AT&T mentioned that “additional services” would be coming as well, although both SiriusXM and AT&T are staying pretty mum as far as what Nissan owners can expect. There’s not even an official name for the in-car telematics system yet, but we’re guessing Nissan will put their own little spin for marketing purposes.

The in-car technology will be coming to North America, though, but it’s not yet said when consumers should expect the technology to reach new Nissan cars. As for whether or not the new in-car system technology will boost Nissan sales, that’s pretty likely, as many drivers don’t mind plopping down a few more dollars for an always-connected roadside assistant.

Universal Music joins the crowdfunded vinyl record revival

While the idea of bringing back out-of-print record albums to new limited-edition runs isn’t new, the fact that Universal Music is onboard with the overarching idea certainly is. What we’ve got here is Universal Music’s bit of the business dedicated to vinyl moving forward with an initiative called The Vinyl Project. Bet you didn’t know Universal Music had a vinyl arm, did you? They’re called Uvinyl, and they’re betting on the web.

rebirth

While at this very moment there’s no official comprehensive list of albums, it would seem that the company will be bringing titles large and small to the public. All the public has to do is dish out a few bucks in hopes that their chosen title will make it back to the presses. As The Vinyl Factory reminds us, the company known as Ninja Tune offers a rather similar service with Beat Delete, there offering up titles both new and old, all of them otherwise out-of-print.

NOTE: Earlier today a list of albums was released by Uvinyl that included such titles at Sonic Youth’s Goo and Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged. Instead of those titles needing votes, Uvinyl notes now that they’ll be offered up through their regular channels. Whether or not that means they’ll be pressed in vinyl is still up for questioning – though we wouldn’t be surprised to see the physical platters appear by the end of 2013.

The actual “The Vinyl Project” will be launching “when the service is ready to launch” and not before. Imagine that. For the time being you can have a peek at Uvinyl itself to see the layout which we’ll likely be seeing continue into the crowdfunding venture later this year.

19-year-old creates incredible Skyrim expansion

Haven't played Skyrim in a while? Check out Falskaar.

(Credit: Alexander J. Velicky)

The sheer size and scope of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim astounds, but a new fan-made add-on called Falskaar goes above and beyond by adding more than 20 hours of gameplay, new lands, and a slew of other compelling features that will tickle any fan of the series.

Amazingly, the free add-on was put together by a 19-year-old — Alexander J. Velicky, who aspires to work as a level designer at Skyrim developer Bethesda Softworks. Over the past 20 months, Velicky spent several thousand hours building the look and lore of Falskaar, and also corralled 100 contributors who helped with voice-overs, original music (by Adamm Khuevrr), and gameplay testing.
