It seems these days they’ll make a simulator for anything. We got flight simulators, driving simulators, even golf simulators, and the famous running/walking simulator (aka treadmill). but to avoid hasty criticism, we must step back to appreciate the benefit of simulators in providing controlled monitored environments for safe practice. They also have the added benefit of permitting off-season practice, when the weather doesn’t permit. The ST-2 shooting simulator is a highly advanced shotgun and rifle simulator, specially designed for the professional marksman looking to get some technological assistance with his shot. If you just want to squeeze off a few rounds for kicks, then the N Range, we discussed earlier, is perfect for you.

Since my job requires me to spend more time seated on my study table with my desktop (than sitting next to my loved ones), my eyes light up every time I come across some well designed, high-tech, ergonomic workstation. Some day, may be, I see myself merrily working on any one of them! Since you have already seen the best of the lot on our list of Top 10 workstations, here’s one more interesting and appealing workstation that couldn’t be missed. Though the designer hasn’t been liberal in divulging its details at all, I can undoubtedly declare that it’s got everything that a geek desires. First of all, it’s the most ergonomic form that seems to be adjustable so that you can work in a sitting position or in a much relaxed reclining manner. Sporting a screen facing the user, it features some control buttons by the side on the arm rests. Hey Mr. Yang Yun Ho, if only you could throw more light on your creation!

Designed and developed by Dennis Ingemansson, the Dubai Sea Limousine is an idea based on the “The World”- a man-made archipelago of 300 islands constructed in the shape of a world map and located 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) off the coast of Dubai. The society comprises of a series of artificial islands which are currently under construction and this ambitious new taxi service seeks to become the sort of marine transportation between artificial islands. The discrete sea limousine draws on luxury yacht design and comes powered with solar cells integrated in the windows skin and moves forward with the help of a hovercraft. The vehicle is controlled by a satellite navigation system and needs no human pilot which makes this whole concept truly futuristic.

In spite of the world being a global village and in spite of we being able to keep in touch with our near and dear ones, occasionally we would like to glance upon photos of those who are close to your heart but not present physically. You may have heard of nostalgia, but you may not have heard of Saudade, a Portuguese term for a feeling that has no equivalent in any of the modern languages. Saudade is not just nostalgia but a longing for something or someone that you were fond of and that which you lost. So, what better way to immortalize those precious moments than to have a hi-tech digital photo organizer, which is different from the rest available in the market. LifeMap is a touch-screen digital photo storing and organizational system with the help of which you can organize and tag your photos with names of people, places, situations and any keyword that you can think of.

At times, when you want another mug of beer, but are too drunk to go get one, wouldn’t it be great if a genie could pour endless mugs until you say STOP? The new Asahi bartender robot is not a genie, but then, not less than him. Asahi Beer has already made experiments with robot bartenders, but they have really achieved the success with the new bot, which is capable of serving customers in less than two minutes. This bartending bot was built in about 200 hours and spent a full six months to learn the bartending skills perfectly. There is a hidden PC that features a touch screen interface and runs Windows Vista. It takes beer bottles from a conveyor belt, pops the caps off, and then turns them around on a whirling wheel. Check out the video after the jump to see the Asahi bartender in action.

While every major sport has caught on in the virtual world as a video game, the holistically competitive Sumo from Japan has remained sparse, if not absent altogether. If at all any Sumo video games have been developed, they have not made it to the limelight because of sheer difficult to capture the spirit of Sumo through the regular button input and vibration feedback. A potential improvement for Virtual Sumo is on the horizon, due to an innovative input and feedback systems that lets the virtual sumo warrior tap into the mental and emotional intensity involved in Sumo. The technology in this Sumo simulator is several eons ahead of the wood casing it it contained in. It features a hi-tech bio-feedback mechanism that is sophisticated enough to read the players’ emotions through electrical signals received from the finger tips. This ‘arcade’ machine may not be aimed at gamers, but even they must respect the coolness of the technology.

Robert Louis Stevenson once remarked, “A bottle of good wine, like a good act, shines ever in the retrospect.” Years later, that bit of wisdom still stands true. Pleasurable as each step in the journey from a state of sobriety to a state of intoxication is, there still are some wine-lovers who are vain enough to maintain an air of order even when the party is in full swing. For those snobbish alcoholics and for all those who just cannot mix a good drink, comes this wonderful Super SideBar. The gizmo features five separate pumps and hoses that transport the liquids to a single faucet mounted on top of the bar allowing you to mix a cocktail via five labeled buttons. Starting at $499, the electro-faucet is just a heaven-sent for booze lovers with two left hands and no brains for mixing a drink!
