Star Trek Webcam – Extreme Geek Toy
April 14, 2009 by tcgames · Leave a Comment
The Star Trek Webcam is set up for 720p, and can mount on your desktop screen with a bendable gooseneck. Apparently, the webcam has a sticker underneath the insignia, and you can plug it in to a USB.
Plug and Play software should get the Enterprise-shaped cam working better than Scotty could, and the nacelles will light up when the camera is on. The nacelles are those red engine things on the spaceship, for those who are non-Trekkies.
I suppose we could add this to the infinitesimal gear that has come out for Star Trek fans in the past fifty years. The most recent contributions are the Star Trek Scene It game and the Wallpaper. We are probably going to see a lot more franchise-related stuff as the release of the new Star Trek movie by J.J. Abrams comes out.
My sources say that the Star Trek webcam is doing to be released by Dream Cheeky, but there is no word on a release date or a price.
The Star Wars Force Trainer – Cool Toy Or Just Plain Weird?

This has got to be the best and most humorous use of brain wave technology. Just like all the other brain wave games this one gives you an obstacle you have to accomplish by focusing and thinking hard on moving the object. The more you concentrate, the better you’ll do. Although the obstacle course with this one is far more simple than the Mindflex, it has plenty of geek appeal. This one adds a Star Wars spin to the concept, which means there will likely be no shortage of fans pursuing this game.
Attach the headpiece to your head and use the The Force instead of those brainwaves. After all this is a training device. Of course they don’t mention how exactly you can become a Jedi by moving a ball up and down. Nor do they say when exactly you get a shiny new lightsaber that actually cuts through things. However, at least you’ll have the comfort of knowing that you’re helping to fund George Lucas and his many escapades. You’ll be able to pick this up probably in the 3rd quarter of this year for about $100.
