I've gotta say, this looks like the most fun you'll have moving your legs. Imagine running down the mall or by the river with a pair of these "Powersrtiders" on!

Have seen these around a little bit but hadn't seen their potential until a commercial came on TV with tonnes of people running and flipping in a scene... (i forget what they were selling because the stilts were so damn cool). 

Will definitely be adding these on my wishlist !!

Mind-controlled vehicles emerging. This is what others are doing with neurofeedback right now.

German researchers have demonstrated a system that allows a car to be driven by thought control alone (Image: AutoNOMOS)

Since its formation in 2006, Freie Universität Berlin’s AutoNOMOS team has been researching and developing systems that could someday result in driverless, autonomous cars. Previously, they have successfully used an iPhone, an iPad, and an eye-tracking device to maneuver their Volkswagen Passat MadeInGermany test car. Now, using a commercially-available Emotiv EPOC brain-machine gaming interface, they have demonstrated that the car can be controlled by mind power.

AutoNOMOS’ system, known as BrainDriver, acquires bioelectric signals from the driver via 16 EEG sensors on the EPOC neuroheadset. Before slipping behind the wheel, drivers first need to spend some time on the system’s software tool kit, where they learn to move a cube back and forth on a computer screen by altering their thought patterns. Once on the road, BrainDriver links these patterns with assigned actuations (such as steering and acceleration), and sends the appropriate commands to the car’s drive-by-wire system.

In the first test of the technology, the car drove itself autonomously to an intersection, at which point its human occupant used their thought patterns to tell it which way to turn. In the second test, carried out at Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport, the occupant continuously controlled steering, acceleration and braking. There was said to be “only a slight delay” between their mental commands and the subsequent reactions of the car.

The system is currently only a demonstration project. Team members, however, believe that it could have definite applications in the future, such as for allowing passengers to assist autonomous cars when the vehicles are unsure of which road to take at an intersection.

Yeah... this looks cool, but how comfortable is it?

Labibo Interactive in 2011

Hi all,

We hope the new year has graced you with new opportunities and time for personal leisure.

Here are a few key points of what we have been up to and what we will be doing more of in 2011:

Helping companies shift their websites/apps to be mobile compatible

Immersive application development with Augmented Reality

Initiating new R&D projects internally

Introducing new staff to the company

Partnering with clients in a shared solution development relationship

It's going to be a HUGE year! Thanks for your support so far :-) we are striving to deliver the best solutions to Australian businesses, and creating the best environment for our staff to work and grow in.

This is great - I can think of a lot of very pracitcal applications for this; it may change the way we experience cinema and other media.

Happy to say the experience at the Hardy Milazzo offices is serving us very well. These are some photos taken yesterday by Erin Jarman.

Move to Currie Street complete!

As our first blog entry, I think it's appropriate to let everyone know what this title means exactly!

Over the last 9 months Labibo Interactive has been a resident in Tomorrow Studios; a digital media business incubator part of the Creative Industry program. The studio helped us grow to a team of 5 people, and gain lots of new iPhone, iPad and website  projects to work on. On top of client work, we established several research & development projects in the areas of Contextual Awareness, Augmented Reality and Neurofeedback!

Labibo has found new ground (and new friends) on the Mezzanine level 2, 44 Currie St. Adelaide CBD. We are sharing office space with Hardy Milazzo Architects and their 20 person team.

We're prepping for the new year, lots more excitement to come!!!

Cheers
