Seeing the world in 3D


Philips is selling 3D LCD monitors to the commercial market and will try to bring the technology to consumer TVs by 2008. The TV is a standard LCD with an additional layer of lenses aligned in rows. These lenses create separate images of the material that, when received by your eye and brain, get interpreted as 3D imagery. The 42-inch screen is meant to be viewed from about four meters away. The 3D effect of the 20-inch screen can be viewed about 60 centimetres away. (If you stand closer, the 3D effects disappear and the image begins to blur.)

Handheld Brain Training Game

Everyone wants to stay in shape, and now you can keep your brain in shape as well with the Brain Trainer. The Brain Trainer is a fun, hand-held game that allows you to compete against yourself in order to keep yourself mentally fit. This little gadget performs tests that stimulate your brain by working the frontal cortex. This is the part of your brain that controls creativity, memory, and communication.

So if you find yourself forgetting things or losing your train of thought easily, you may just need to exercise your brain. The Brain Trainer was invented by a neuroscientist in Japan. It is designed to take you through a series of programs that quickly stimulate your frontal cortex in order to enhance mental agility. The programs include tests in which you add, subtract or multiply as fast as possible, count as quickly as you can, or add a series of numbers sequentially. There are also tests for memorization and recalling as many numbers as possible.

When you are feeling like you need a mental boost just pull out your handy Brain Trainer. As you progress through the programs the device also keeps track of you score and time for each session so you can always compete against yourself and try to increase your brain power each time you play. The Brain Trainer runs on 2 AAA batteries.

Start increasing your mental capacity and get your Brain Trainer here...
