That’s right - your image can be seen in the mirror during online video chats, enabling you to better express yourself to your buddy, while making sure you’re looking good. 24 white LED lights are aligned around the mirror’s edge to illuminate you beautifully! Even better, since it looks just like a normal desk mirror, it can also be used as secret surveillance webcam too!

This item looks like a regular mirror, but this has a lot of built-in LED lights surrounding the mirror.

Once you turn the switch on, LED lights will cut on to capture a brighter image of your face. This light switch is separated from the camera switch, so you can turn it on/off without interrupting the operation of the camera. You would see the difference of your look with or without the lights. These lights will brighten your expressions not only the face.

This mirror is made as a magic mirror, so the built-in webcam in the center of the mirror can capture the image.

Even though you can see yourself on the monitor, it is quite difficult to see the clear image of yourself in the small window when you are on the web chat with someone, especially if the camera is not set up in the same place as the monitor. Did you ever wish to see clearer and bigger? This Magic Mirror Webcam works as a mirror and a webcam at the same time. So, you can check your face as you talk to your friend without getting interrupted!

There is no need to install software, so anybody can use it easily.
There are two steps to set up Magic Mirror Webcam. First, connect the LED lights AC adopter to an outlet, and then second, connect the USB cable to your computer USB port. Now you are set. You can show your nicely brightened image of yourself to your friends and a love one on the web chat! This item is also recommended to guys who are having trouble with dark images because of bad room lighting.

Magnetic Floating Sofa

// April 19th, 2009 // No Comments » // Gadgets & Video Games, General

“The Cloud” is a sofa concept based on magnetic forces designed by D.K. Wei.

Designed for ultra comfort and relaxation, “The Cloud” magnetically levitating sofa is the most amazing sofa concept I’ve ever come across.

The magnetic force generated by the base offers support for the very soft upper part of the sofa. It would be a great thing to work or relax on the floating cloud to release the stress.

Unlike the magnetic floating bed, it’s not tethered with any steel cables. The soft cloud-like chaise lounge received an honorable mention at the RELAX furniture design contest.

According to the designer, “Our work recevied the honorable mention for RELAX furniture design contest, held by YANKO DESIGN, sponsored by Rhino & Bunkspeed.”

Unfortunately the physics behind this floating sofa have yet to be worked out as natural magnets aren’t anywhere strong enough to support a person while allowing the sofa to remain stable and the power required to use electromagnets would be a tad on the expensive side.

The most dangerous game on the market

// March 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Gadgets & Video Games, News

Experts have warned that the fantasy role-playing game “World of Warcraft” is more addictive than crack cocaine. It is considered as warcraftthe most dangerous game on the market. According to the report, A schoolboy collapsed and went into convulsions after playing a new version of the “World of Warcraft” online computer game for 24 hours straight. “They played all day and all night. Maybe they got a few hours of sleep. They ate a little food and breakfast at their computers,” the boy’s father said.

The Swedish National Institute of Public Health backed the report, adding: “Computer game addiction is becoming more widespread in Sweden and across the world.

There is no known medical diagnosis of conditions brought on by excessive game-playing, but it is clear they have a very powerful addictive hold over many people who use them.”

Blizzard Entertainment says that there are 11 million people worldwide play World of Warcraft. Psychiatrist Dr Richard Graham, of London’s Tavistock Centre, said: “Some of my clients will discuss playing games for 14, 16 hours a day at times, without breaks and without attending to their physical needs. For those, the consequences are potentially severe.”
