Computer Control With Your Eyeballs

In the near future you could be interfacing with certain applications simply with your eyes. Students at the Imperial College London have shown that such a device could be built for less than $30. The idea is not as revolutionary as you may think and uses commonly available hardware. The students used game console cameras capable of tracking 3D objects, such as Microsoft's Kinect.

However, instead of tracking an entire body, two cameras were placed on a head-mounted construct "outside of the user's field of vision", and were recalibrated to track pupils. According to the students working on the project, the concept worked well, even if the technology was just demonstrated with a simple Pelota-like game. A commercial product would need "appropriate" funding and about three more years of development, the researchers said.

Hospital Offers Handsfree Sperm Extraction Device

The hands-free "sperm extractor" is a stand up device with a height-adjustable "massage pipe" that moves inward and outward from the main body of the sperm extractor. According to the manufacturer, the speed, amplitude and frequency can be adjusted by the user, which aims to provide a "warm" and "comfortable" feeling for users who find difficult to retrieve their sperm the traditional, manual way. There is even a screen to play movie content to help with the extraction process.

The description of a sperm extractor may be a bit misleading, since the extraction is done not for the purpose of sperm donation, but to collect a patient's sperm during an infertility treatment. Zhu Guoxin, director of the urology department at the hospital also noted that previous methods that involved the use of condoms may have negatively impacted the test results to the use of lubricants and other chemicals on them.

Check out the Comments on Toms Hardware, really funny comments worth the look I couldn't stop laughing looking forward to a review on this device. Will always be cheaper than a girlfriend/wife :)

Game Controller Keychain for Smartphones

With mobile gaming on the rise, many designers have hopped onto the gamepad bandwagon, creating a number of tactile game controllers hoping to offer the ultimate mobile gaming experience. Crowd funding site Kickstarter has helped facilitate the creation of many of these, the latest example being the iMpulse Controller. While most of the gamepad devices we have covered hope to reproduce the console controller feel, iMpulse is focused more on portability and convenience. The pocket-sized gamepad features a minimal design with a single sliding directional thumbpad and five gaming buttons. The bluetooth-powered device can be flipped around to function with the thumbpad on either the left or right side.

Additionally, the iMpulse controller attaches to your keychain and also functions as a media remote for your mobile gadgets or as a key finder that beeps loudly when activated via smartphone application. Out of the box, iMpulse is designed to support hundreds of popular mobile games on both Android and iOS platforms, and its creators are also offering a developers kit to bring even more application support in the future. To show your support, a pledge of at least $30 will get get you your very own iMpulse controller, while an additional $10 will get you a charging cable and T-shirt. Additionally, there is a slick metal finish available for a $55 contribution.

Kill With All of the Things in Hitman: Absolution

A coffee mug. A plunger. A bottle of hot sauce. To you, mere household objects. To Agent 47, they are tools of the trade. And that trade just happens to be killing. Obviously, he can use more traditional weaponry to assassinate fools, but where's the fun in that? Is there even a point to being a highly trained assassin if you can't bash someone's head in with a hula lady statue?

For a series all about creative killing, it's great to see some of the options available to us. Do you guys have any ideas as to what would make a good murder weapon? Personally, I'd love to see the bald guy take someone out with a roll of Christmas-themed wrapping paper.

Far Cry 3 Survival Guide Again!

If Vaas, the mohawked Far Cry 3 villain Ubisoft has been touting up to this point, is tough, Hoyt Volker is armageddon. In the latest in its Survival Guide series of trailers, Ubisoft warns players who plan on visiting South Island to beware of Volker and his highly trained privateer army. Thankfully, if the two seconds of footage halfway through the video are anything to go on, we'll have a powerful ally on our side: man-eating cheetahs!

Perhaps I should describe the cheetah as a temporary ally. We see the protagonist attacked by the jungle cat early on in the trailer and then at roughly the 1:20 mark, a cheetah appears to be leading the charge into Volker's camp. Evidently I'm obsessed with cheetahs in Far Cry 3. Moving on! Get the lowdown on Volker and South Island.

Meanwhile, the SWAT Pack includes a bunch of new justice-dealing cop missions. Namedropped but not explained are also the Top Dogs, Retro Triad, and High Roller Packs.

Borderlands 2 Launch Trailer

Dead Island Riptide CGI Trailer

Here's a question I never thought I'd ask myself: How do you top a game trailer where a backwards-traveling girl gets chomped by flesh-hungry monstrosities? Apparently you do it by depicting a pair of star-crossed lovers exploding, thereby taking said flesh-hungry monstrosities with them. Such is the case with Dead Island Riptide's newest teaser, and boy does it tug at those emotional heart strings.

While, as with the original Dead Island's first look, this clip has no gameplay in it whatsoever, it certainly sets the tone for the non-sequel. Hell, it's safe to say the waterlogged Dead Island Riptide is poised to take a significantly darker turn from the trouble-in-paradise setting of Dead Island. No more taking a stroll on a clear sunny day to lob limbs off the undead, you're going to have to deal with clouds now! Spooky.
