iPad projector concept displays objects in 3D
N-3D DEMO from aircord on Vimeo.
Tonight seems to be the night for 3D. A design team released a proof of concept video showing how it’s possible to use an iPad to project a 3D image to the naked eye. It requires some special hardware, but it’s still pretty damn amazing. Check out the video after the jump.
Currently, viewers can move around and view an image as if it was an object literally floating in space. Of course, right now it’s just a proof of concept, but if the team at Aircord Labs can pull it off, this has the chance to be an amazing bit of technology.

The iPad Under Mouse
Let me tell you a little bit about what I know of world commerce. There’s information, which travels at the speed of light, then there’s product, which travels at the speed of a van, then a boat, then a van, then a train, then a car. It’s slower than light. This causes a bit of annoyance in the world of electronics and multimedia. Why? Because Russia doesn’t have their iPads yet! So what did the folks at DarkDesignGroup (Russian design group) do?
They made the iMousePad.
Simple. Silly. Amazing.
And that’s all there really is to say about that. It’s a mouse pad. It’s clever. It’s excellent.
And I don’t think it’s licensed by Apple. Just a hunch.

ThinkGeek has a knack for teasing us with incredibly awesome April Fool’s products. Thankfully, they also release some of these, provided there is enough demand. I’m still waiting for them to make the iCade that we were teased with a couple of months ago, but they’ve not shown any signs of doing so. Of course that hasn’t stopped one crafty fellow from making his own.
In the above video you can see that they are able to plug in their iPad to the unit, and control it with a joystick and two buttons. This is made possible with an Arduino unit and a bit of tinkering. Sadly, the person hasn’t posted exactly how this was done. I hope they do, as I would certainly like to make one of these for myself.

With all eyes on WWDC, AT&T makes some changes to their plans and lineup. Again.
It’s official, AT&T has sold out of the 8GB iPhone 3G. But that’s not as exciting as the clue provided to us by AT&T about its replacement and the iPad’s soon-to-be-dead unlimited plan.
Even Batman Has An iPad [Image Cache]
Sure, he seems a bit confused about how to fit it into his utility belt, but it looks like even Batman has an iPad. Guess he felt the need to buy one after seeing these other costumed folks holding theirs: More »
