Many of us have now gotten used to the presence of Full High Definition video in our living rooms, at the cinema, as well as on our smartphones. The thing is, while we would like the presence of a large screen TV in our living rooms or home theater setups, how many of us do prefer the projector over a TV? I would say that the answer would not be all that many, but this does not mean that growth and evolution in the home projector market has stalled. No sir, Epson has just debuted their family focused Full HD 2D/3D projector that is known as the PowerLite Home Cinema 2030, where it will be able to offer big screen, high value HD entertainment without requiring you to break the bank.
The Epson Home Cinema 2030 will be able to offer families and home theater enthusiasts an amazing, larger-than-life HD experience, where it sports bright and vibrant image quality regardless of where you set it up, not to mention the presence of a new MHL-enabled HDMI port will be able to turn this particular projector into a smart display as long as it plays nice with the other MHL-supported devices, such as a range of Android-powered phones and tablets, and the Roku Streaming Stick, of course.
Just what other kind of hardware will the Epson Home Cinema 2030 pack underneath the hood? Well, we are looking at built-in sound with the capability to add speakers, which would mean users are able to enhance their future movie experience accordingly, depending on their budget at that point in time. Not only that, it will be able to deliver 2,000 lumens of color brightness and 2,000 lumens of white brightness, all thanks to a 3LCD, 3-chip technology setup. The projector will ship with half a dozen pre-set color modes, so that users can play their favorite videogames or watch their favorite TV programs all the same, regardless of whether you are in a dark room or in a well-lit area.
Coming in a white, compact design, the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 will cost a relatively affordable $999.

You don’t see a lot of first person shooter games that opt for a bow and arrow in lieu of a machine gun, but that’s probably because no one has created a bow interface as authentic as what Masasuke Yasumoto at the Tokyo University of Technology has developed.

3D printing has taken some amazing steps over the past couple of months as it’s been used to save several lives, successfully recreate memorable video game characters and could potentially be used as a source of nutrition. But would you trust 3D-printed skateboard which can be used to carry you at a high rate of speed? Sam Abbott does and Sam Abbott did.
Abbott is a Dutch artist who created this 3D-printed skateboard which features a twin-tipped design that was too large for 3DprintUK’s 3D printer to create, although Abbott was able to successfully create it in three sections. The process required the deck to be assembled and joined together with numerous connector pins, which we hope are extremely secure considering how easy it is for a normal skateboard to break under extreme stress.
The underside of the skateboard features an interesting design as it looks like it has fused with hundreds of octopi considering how many suction cup-like areas there are on the skateboard. The end of the video shows a skateboarder riding on the freshly-3D printed skateboard, and best of all, it doesn’t completely crumble under his own weight. We guess we can consider this a job well done, then.

Google is doing a good job of trying to make Chromecast have a degree of cross-platform appeal that AirPlay can’t offer; today, it’s launching an iOS app for managing the Chromecast device’s settings, and for setting it up in the first place, so that you can more easily use the $35 streaming player if you’re generally an Apple device fan.
The app for iOS devices is available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users, and will automatically scan for existing local Chromecast devices, as well as allow you to set up a new one to add to your Wi-Fi network. It also lists compatible apps, which for now include both YouTube and Netflix on iOS, from which to broadcast content.
Google recently got some flack for shutting down a third-party app that allowed users stream anything on a user’s Android smartphone, true AirPlay mirroring style. Google then issued a statement saying the app broke mostly due to the evolving nature of the still-in-development SDK, and not necessarily because of any direct attempt to block its functionality.
The iOS app released today is basically equivalent to the Android version released in mid-August, which means Apple users will likely get support for the device in time with or slightly behind their Google-favouring counterparts. If Google can expand the Chromecast beyond its limited feature set and see it embraced as a fairly universal standard by app-makers, this could be the sleeper media streaming hit of the decade at $35, but that’s still a very big “if”, and many early reviewers seem unconvinced by the gadget’s current limitations.
It was only yesterday when we reported on a possible kid-friendly version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which was leaked in a Korean brochure promoting the upcoming device. Today, Samsung decided now would be the best time to unveil the tablet, which is indeed called the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids. (more…)
