Nintendo 3DS

I am not usually interested in computer games, but due to this being another possible 'breakthrough' in interactive/3D media, I thought it was worth a blog post.

The Nintendo 3DS is the latest addition to the Nintendo DS. Still being a hand held device, the 3DS (as the name suggests) has a 3D screen; unlike the cinema where the object comes out from the screen, the 3DS's objects are in the distance (giving the game play 'depth'). It can only be appreciated when played.

The only faults would be that you would need to keep your head steady to keep the objects in-line/order and there have been reports of the 3D being a strain on your eyes. Nintendo suggest you should only play for 30 minutes at a time.

Design Boom 'Bic'

Designed by 'din-ink' (Andrea Cingoli, Paolo Emilio Bellisario, Cristian Cellini and Francesca Fontana) for the 'Design Boom' dining competition.

A set of replaceable bic-caps that could be used during office lunch hours including a spoon, knife and fork giving the everyday 'Bic' another  use.
