When you come home, you toss your keys, wallet, and maybe even your phone onto the table or maybe an empty dish/bowl designed for housing said items. It’s not an uncommon practice since it pretty much leaves you only one place to look when you want to leave the house and not forget anything. However what if that empty dish/bowl could have an even greater purpose other than to just house your items? What if you could charge your phone when you place it in the bowl? Does that sound like a piece of furniture you’d like to own someday? Well Intel has created such a device (pictured above) where users are able to place electronic gadgets, like phones or tablets, into the bowl and have them charge wirelessly.
According to Intel, the charging will be done by utilizing magnetic resonance technology which allows for charging of multiple devices without the need for precise placement, which is sort of like how wireless charging works in the first place, although we guess this seems more casual and might be able to accommodate more devices. Unfortunately at the moment this particular device will only work with Intel’s recently announced smart headset, but the company is hoping to expand compatibility to a wider range of products include smartphones, tablets, and even Ultrabooks in the future.
No word on when Intel plans to launch this charging bowl or how much it will cost, but what do you guys think? Is this a better idea than just a charging pad, or do you think it’s pretty much the same thing, just in a different shape?

A couple of days ago, we reported that the folks at Oculus Rift would have a new kit to show off at CES 2014, and sure enough they do. The company has taken off the wraps of their latest Oculus Rift kit which they have codenamed “Crystal Cove” for now. As you can see in the image above, the Crystal Cove kit remains a prototype for now, but it does come with some improvements and new features that may or may not make its way into the final product. So what sort of changes are we looking at? Well prior to Crystal Cove, wearers of the Oculus Rift had no problems turning their heads and the screen would turn with them as well.
However with Crystal Cove, what Oculus Rift has done is introduce position tracking. Thanks to an external camera that is able to track points on the headset, it will allow users more natural movement of their head, such as leaning forward, with the visuals in the headset following your head movement as well. Along with improved latency, the folks at Oculus Rift are hoping that this should reduce motion sickness. Speaking to Wired, the company’s CEO, Brendan Iribe said, “We still may change how it’s done, but we feel great about the positional tracking system. It’s been a year in the works, we’ve tried multiple different approaches, and this delivered the experience we were looking for.”
We have yet to try this out for ourselves so we can’t speak to Oculus Rift’s efforts, but based on those who have managed to take it for a spin, the results are largely positive. There’s still no word on when Oculus Rift will be made available commercially, but hopefully it won’t take too long because companies, such as Sony, are looking to compete with their own offerings.
