New dimension to gaming

Nintendo's next handheld is arguably the biggest advancement in videogame technology in a long, long time. Revealed last year at Nintendo's E3 press conference, the handheld, dubbed the Nintendo 3DS, will be the most advanced piece of hardware to enter entertainment space. The 3DS possesses tech that is even more advanced than Sony's latest 3D-enabled Bravia or Samsung's latest LED — it allows you to experience 3D content without glasses. It also goes further by adding a 3D camera — the cheapest commercially available 3D camera in the market. Think about it. You can click pictures of yourself, family, pets and friends in 3D — provided you can hold it steady.

But let's get to the good stuff — the games. The first game showcased at E3 was Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not only was the game the first everyone got so see in 3D on the DS, it also showed that the handheld hadn't yet been pushed to its limit. Kid Icarus: Uprising sported graphics that were great for a portable platform and must have triggered all kinds of déjà vu for gamers who played the first game way back in 1987. Next on the list is Super Paper Mario 3DS. Anyone who is familiar with Paper Mario games clearly loves Nintendo and RPGs. The series is pretty famous for its unique visual style and it will be interesting to see what Nintendo does with it in 3D. What's more, the game will also feature the core RPG elements present in previous games.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
