L.Y.N.X. 9 launches at CES 2015. Hey, here’s a question for you: when is a controller not a controller?
It’s not a trick question, I have the answer for you but we’ll come to that in a moment. How many folks reading this blog received a new smart device for the Holidays? Was it the latest phone or perhaps a new tablet? Maybe you received a new laptop instead, or perhaps a media streaming box that also plays games? Fact is, millions of you received a shiny new gadget from Santa and it’s truly incredible just how capable today’s smart devices are at playing games. Traditionally, controllers for mobile devices are inevitably compromised. It’s safe to say, you’ve never seen a controller like this before. Too good to be true? Could not extract width/height from image: Traced measures: width:0px, height: 0px.
The hybrid nature of L.Y.N.X.9 isn’t just a gimmick. L.Y.N.X.9 is designed for the gamer who refuses to compromise. We say again, you’ve never seen a controller like this before. Onemorebite. New 'bionic' arms move in response to amputees' thoughts / Muscles, nerves rewired to give feedback to device. 2006-09-15 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- The first time Claudia Mitchell peeled a banana one-handed, she cried.
It was several months after she lost her left arm at the shoulder in a motorcycle accident. She used her feet to hold the banana and peeled it with her right hand. She felt like a monkey. "It was not a good day," Mitchell, 26, recalled this week. "Although I accomplished the mission, emotionally it was something to be reckoned with. " Now, Mitchell can peel a banana in a less-simian posture. Mitchell, who lives in Ellicott City, Md., is the fourth person -- and first woman -- to receive a "bionic" arm, which allows her to control parts of the device by her thoughts alone.
Dream come true! Two 'mad scientists' create sleep mask that lets people CONTROL their dreams. By Snejana Farberov Published: 17:42 GMT, 20 May 2012 | Updated: 21:50 GMT, 21 May 2012 In a twist straight out of the movie Inception, a duo of developers from Brooklyn, New York, have built a sleeping mask designed to allow people to have lucid dreams that they can control.
While it may look like a standard sleeping mask, Remee has been billed as a special REM (Rapid Eye Movement) enhancing device that is supposed to help steer the sleeper into lucid dreaming by making the brain aware that it is dreaming. The goal of the product is to allow people to have the dreams of their choice, from driving a race car to flying to having lunch with Abraham Lincoln.

LG begins mass production of first flexible, plastic e-ink displays. LG, that South Korean conglomerate that has mostly spent the last few years fading into Samsung’s shadow, has just announced that it has begun mass production of the world’s first flexible, plastic e-ink display.
This is opposed to the hard, heavy, prone-to-cracking glass-laminate e-ink displays found in devices such as the Kindle and Nook. The new plastic display has a resolution of 1024×768 and is six inches across the diagonal, which is comparable to the Kindle and Nook. Because it’s made of plastic and not glass, though, the LG display is half the weight (14g) and 30% thinner (0.7mm) than a comparable, glass e-ink panel. Existing e-book readers need to be thick (and heavy) to protect the glass display, but LG is promising that its display is a lot more rugged. The press release says that the plastic display survives repeated 1.5-meter drop tests and break/scratch tests with a small hammer, and that it’s flexible up to 40 degrees from the mid point.
