Realtime Sports App

beyondbox

Beyond The Box is an iPad app that allows sports fans to curate realtime coverage, players updates and analysis from their favorite sports teams in one centralized timeline. You can think of it as TweetDeck on steroids — for sports.

The founders decided to start with the iPad to offer sports fans curated news, analysis, rumors, video, photos and player commentary in the same timeline-style feed that has become so familiar thanks to social media. The timeline curates content from more than 1,000 media sources and 2,000 players, ranking and analyzing sources based on a number of signals, including popularity, relevancy, and so on. In turn, it allows fans to personalize their feed to focus updates from their favorite teams and players.

Solar Rapala Fishing Bait

fishbait

Inspired by fishing enthusiasts, Solar Rapala is a solar-powered fishing bait. Used just as the conventional baits, it has the advantage of shining in deep water with its LED lights, charged by sun. Presented in a six-piece package set, it is designed for sea lovers that chase fish no matter it is day or night. Activated with buttons placed on fish’s eyes, LED lights start to light or blink (pressed twice). Since fish are attracted to shining objects and bright spots, it becomes easier to catch fish with Solar Rapala. Consists of a flexible solar panel, batteries, reflectors and hooks, it has LED bands in its back, and also an LED in its back fin. Designed to last long, it can be easily opened and rechargeable batteries can be replaced.

Kids’ Imagination

Machi is a minimalist children’s toy designed by Japanese-based firm Kukkia. Kukkia means ‘to bloom’ in Finnish and ‘kuki’ means stem in Japanese. The focus of their products is to provide children with tactile and vividly-colored shapes that are both fun and visually stimulating. They want kids to get involved and to use their imaginations to create, change and re-invent how toys are played with.

Machi is a clear example of Kukkia’s desire to motivate children to use their imaginations. The set includes 15 beautifully designed pieces that can be arranged and re-arranged at will. Kids can create their own town by using the two magnetic chalkboards and the provided eco-chalk. The 15 wooden pieces, which are made of beech wood, include a car, six trees, two traffic signals, three buildings, and two mountains.

Practise Golf with SensoGlove

SensoGlove is the first and only golf glove with built-in sensors that constantly read the pressure of your grip. Practicing with SensoGlove will teach you the correct grip pressure for a smooth, consistent swing that delivers greater distance, enhanced precision and lower scores.

SensoGlove’s built-in digital computer actively monitors your grip with sensors placed strategically throughout the glove, providing instant feedback at all the points of your swing. Its audio feedback warns you at the moment your grip becomes too tight, allowing you to learn and maintain correct grip pressure at every point of your swing.

Snowboarding Kontrol Braking

For years, snowboarding novices have been forced to meet the sport with a combination of terror and pain. Even the smallest bunny hill is horrifying to look at when your legs are locked into a device that you have no idea how to use. One wrong move and you’re eating an unpleasant mix of snow, ice and pride. The new Streetboardz Boarder Kontrol takes some of the intimidation out of learning by giving beginners something they’ve always wanted: instant braking.

The Boarder Kontrol board gives beginner snowboarders a key advantage that they’ve always been missing: a brake that requires no real technique or training. The rider holds a leash while descending and can pull up on it at any time to activate the rear-mounted brake.

iPad Gaming Wheel

KOLOS Corporation is ready to create a brand new accessories category, thanks to the company’s clever iPad Gaming Wheel. It is called KOLOS, which means “colossus” in the Slavic languages. The product serves as a tabletop steering wheel that cradles the iPad, giving more realistic gaming experience.

According to the official Indiegogo webpage, the KOLOS steering wheel features a comfortable, anti-perspirant rubber coating. Thanks to its narrow diameter, the wheel allows gaming enthusiasts of all ages to handle iOS racing and flying games in a much easier way. The product also features a high quality metallic-colored base and a clamp that holds tight to almost any table.

Sim Worlds On the Move

Sim worlds date back to the early 2000s, and they are still popular today. In fact, many computer and electronics analysts say the consumer demand for simulated worlds will soon begin to grow exponentially.

A simulated world allows you to live out a new life in the virtual realm. There are dozens of popular sim applications out there, but many people want to know the difference between OpenSim and Aurora-Sim:

OpenSim: This game is a multi-platform and 3D application that allows users to create their own world and life from the bottom up. Developers have complete control over how they create their world. It is comparable to Second Life, but Second Life is not an open-source program. The software is free, and users are encouraged to improve the game with their programming skills. OpenSim does not strive to be a Second Life clone. It is a unique platform on its own.

Aurora-Sim: Aurora is part of the OpenSim project that aims to provide users with more options and the option to build a large-scale operation. The key difference is that Aurora is more secure, stable and provides users with more flexibility. There is more focus on developing the game and the world. If you want to pursue developing Aurora-Sim, it will cost you money.

Aurora is modular, scalable and has a strong community focus. OpenSim is older, more outdated, but maintains its vitality through Aurora. Since the market for virtual worlds hasn’t been fully established yet, many developers outsource their sales through companies like Cydcor, Inc. In the coming years we can expect to see many galvanizing forces in the sim industry.
