Sega's Toirettsu console allows gaming in bathrooms

The game system itself is called Toirettsu, a play on the words “toy”, “let’s”, and “toilets”, and leaving aside the obvious jokes for a minute about how most Sega games are well suited for this sort of activity, it basically allows for gaming in bathrooms.

Sega’s taking the old men’s room thought exercise to the next level by installing a series of sensors in urinals, which in turn translate to control over on-screen events on a screen located at proper eye-height behind the urinal itself. You’ll be able to do such things as put out fires, erase graffiti with a hose, and even engage in a battle in which two men spray milk from their noses and into each other (strongest stream wins), among other and reportedly even stranger things.

It hasn’t actually been released yet, but word is that restaurants will be happy to get these in as they’ll allow owners to sell advertising space on the screens on a repeating loop when gameplay isn’t in progress, allowing them to get in a little extra revenue.

Misa digital guitar

Yea, It's Real

The Future of

the Guitar?

Some of you may remember earlier this year when a short youtube video of the incredible looking Misa digital guitar had people all hot and bothered about the future of music. People were either ranting against it, or raving for it. But people were talking, and talking is a good thing.

                                                                                                                                                                      

The Original
Demo

Is this for real? Who would use it? Where can I get one? How much does it cost?

These were the questions circling around the guitar, and for the most

part people were in the dark. Personally, I had forgotten all about

it, assuming someone's idea had fizzled out, and the whole project had

been shelved.

Apparently I was wrong. On December 15th Misa announced the release of

the Kitara and the Kitara Limited Edition. Now, for the very first

time, you can own your own stringless guitar.

That is a Sexy
Instrument

I don't know if you love it or hate it, but as of right now, the
guitar has gone digital.

This is a serious investment, however, with the standard Kitara going
for $849 and the Limited Edition for $2899.  Put in your order
for it now, before the backlog gets too heavy.

What do you think? Do you love the musical revolution? Or are you a
traditionalist that scoffs at this newfangled rubbish? Let me know in

Float Table uses magnets to make magic hovering effect

This is the Float Table, and it combines some of the best technology from the seventies and the eighties, along with yet-to-be-invented hover technology.

As you can see, the Float Table has that brown wood look that was so prevalent in the disco decade. The rotary phone is also a nice touch. As for the eighties, it certainly has that Rubik’s Cube thing going on.

According to my Source, those cubes are held together by the power of magnets. These attracting and rebelling forces somehow work together to appear like blocks floating in air, but still stable.

By the way, there are steel cables attached to the blocks to keep this structure from completely falling apart. I guess that you can’t see the cables in this picture. I’m also told that this is so you can shape the Float Table into whatever you want. I really wish that I had some pictures of that, as I would have attached them to this post.

I wonder if it is possible to shift this Float Table into something that looks more like an actual table with legs. I also wonder how much weight the table can hold.

Well, this is a concept piece of furniture as of now, but you never know. I don’t even know if this thing actually works, or if this is some complicated mock-up.
