Join The eleMMent RV is luxury in a sexy odd shape
Just to let you know, the wheels of this eleMMent RV do not fold up, and it does not fly.
Yes, it looks like this craft is from the future, but this 40-foot vehicle is so now. It has 500 square feet of usable area, a master bedroom with a 40-inch flatscreen, and a couch and a table that can transform to a bar and lounge.
Still not sold on it? How’s 500 horsepower, plus a fireplace, along with a pop-up sky lounge and fog machine strike you? Did I mention that the paint glows in the dark? Yeah, this is probably the big band’s ride on tour, and roadies are not allowed on board.

Could someone please get me a working Portico, please?
When it comes to applications on tablets, developers really have to think outside the box in order to create the next addictive thing. Right now, Microsoft Research, Intel, and the University of Washington are working on the Portico, which allows the user to interact with the world outside of the tablet.
You can watch a video after the jump if you want to see a demonstration, and I highly suggest that you will. You will notice how two simple webcams can allow a stencil of a spaceship to blast asteroids on the screen. In addition to this game, Portico can also allow the player to roll a real soccer ball the size of a golf bar in order to try and get it past a virtual goalie.

New software helps the visually impaired with their touchscreen
The past half-decade has seen a real touchscreen revolution, as far as mobile phones and tablet PCs are concerned. However, what good is this revolution to the visually impaired?
Fortunately, Adam Duran (a senior at New Mexico State University), Adrian Lew (a Standford mechanical engineering assistant professor), and Sohan Dharmaraja (a doctoral candidate) have created an astounding interface designed specifically for the visually impaired.
You can watch how it works after the jump, and you will see how the user’s fingers set up the keyboard, instead of a user having to find the right keys. You will note in the video how each letter is stated aloud, and how programs can be found audibly.

AshPoopie burns away an age-old problem
I’m sure all dog owners will agree that cleaning up after a dog is a very necessary, but disgusting, activity. I have a thirteen-year-old Labrador who defecates every time we go uphill. It is something that I have to watch out for and clean up afterwards.
This particular product, the AshPoopie, is designed to make scooping a thing of the past. It works with a heating element inside of it that incinerates dog feces into a pile of sterile, odorless ash. So much for cleaning up after one’s dog.
It works with the claw on at the end that encloses the (insert funny word for dog feces here) that operates at the touch of a button. The other button burns the (use same word in parenthesis above), and this fiery reaction is caused by an “AshPoopie cartridge”.

LG Doubleplay lives up to its name with two screens
This is the LG Doubleplay, and honestly, I couldn’t think of a better name. After all, what else do you call a smartphone that has two screens?
Originally, it was code-named the Flip II, but I guess they decided that name was too sequel-ish. I’ve never really seen a phone like this with a 320 x 480 HVGA main display, a secondary display, and a QWERTY keyboard that is split down the middle like that. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that both screens are touchscreens.
Not much else is known about this phone, and I suppose that it was just a matter of time before someone created a flip-phone with two screens. I would have thought that the designer of such a phone would have phased out a QWERTY keyboard entirely, and have gone with a touchscreen keyboard on the secondary screen.

Razer Naga Epic MMO Gaming Mouse
We have reported on Razer’s products before, and I got a chance to try out the Naga Epic MMO Gaming Mouse. I have seen mice that are wireless, mice that are ergonomic, and mice with many buttons, and the Razer Naga Epic seems to do them all.
I’ll go ahead and start with the buttons. There are 17 of them in all, which include the 12 on the side. These buttons allow you to “organize your key binds and character abilities for any game by enabling you to fully remap and assign macros”. You can also get downloadable in-game add-ons and in-game support for popular games like World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, and City of Heroes. By the way, you can also use the numbers on the side for simply typing in numbers.
As you can see here, the Naga Epic comes with a cradle, and this is so you can charge the battery inside for use as a wireless mouse. You can also just plug the Naga Epic in a USB port for wired use as well.

Arctic Force Snowball Blaster
For some of you living in the northern hemisphere, your favorite season is about to arrive soon – winter! And that would mean plenty of snow if you so happen to live in a place that has plenty of those, surely snowball fights are your specialty. You might have developed quite a mean throwing arm after years of practice, but there is nothing quite like having a tool to help you out in your attempt to outshoot your opponents, right? This is where the £24.99 Arctic Force Snowball Blaster comes in handy – it doesn’t hurt to get your preparations done early, right?
The Arctic Force Snowball Blaster works as advertised – thankfully. It is not only tough, but lightweight as well, being able to launch up to three snowballs simultaneously. Something tells me your ammunition line will have to work overtime to feed this puppy, but you can buy them that time if you’re an accurate shot – considering it can launch snowballs up to 80 feet away.
8-Bit LED Jack O’Lantern
Halloween’s coming your way, and if you so happen to celebrate this particular holiday, then surely you would want to dress up your home with all sorts of Halloween decorations, no? Forget about carving out the traditional pumpkin – times have changed, and you too, need to move on with the times. Fancy getting an updated Jack O’ Lantern that can be reused each year? Here’s the $17.99 8-Bit LED Jack O’Lantern.
Yes sir, you need no knife to get it up and running, and while it might require a swipe, it won’t be that of the carving knife but rather, a credit card. The 8-Bit LED Jack O’Lantern will let you save up those pumpkins for something else, and bear in mind you will never be able to make any pie out of this, but at least it makes the entire place feels a whole lot more festive than ever before!
Decorative lights often have that effect on people, and I would say that the same applies to the 8-Bit LED Jack O’Lantern.
