TRON Light Cycle

Replica of the computer-animated cycle from the 2010 film TRON: Legacy will earn you the awe and admiration of every pulse-possessing male aged 8 to 44. Plus after-hours access to pretty much every drive-thru espresso stand barista you ever meet. Good thing the Light Cycle requires riders to lie almost horizontal astride its black leather seat, because horizontal is a position any owner of this ticket to eternal ass is going to have to get used to.
The Light Cycle's aesthetic splendor begins with a steel frame, which is covered by a fiberglass cowling to replicate the sleek look of its computer-generated counterpart. Electroluminescent strips embedded in the wheels and body puppeteer laser-esque displays of awesomeness during casual cruises and gamer's convention tailgates. A fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine, and 6-speed constant mesh manual transmission

3001 AD Trimersion

For the most immersive gaming experience, strap on this serious eyegear from 3001 AD. The Trimersion is a head-mounted, first-person shooter visor with a gun controller and programmable triggers. The device operates via a wireless base station, which is connected to your PC or game console.

I had the chance to try out the Trimersion at an event last year and had the best time ever! It's a bit heavier than other tech eyewear at 1.2 pounds, but it provides a virtual 40-inch screen from 6.5 feet away, and since it's wireless, I wasn't getting tangled up. The Trimersion is available now for $395, while the Tracked Gun Controller is coming soon. Currently, it's compatible with the Xbox, PS/PS2, GameCube, PCs and Macs.

Kinect

Kinect is Microsoft’s motion sensor add-on for the Xbox 360 gaming console. The device provides a natural user interface (NUI) that allows users to interact intuitively and without any intermediary device, such as a controller.

The Kinect system identifies individual players through face recognition and voice recognition. A depth camera, which “sees” in 3-D, creates a skeleton image of a player and a motion sensor detects their movements. Speech recognition software allows the system to understand spoken commands and gesture recognition enables the tracking of player movements. 

Although Kinect was developed for playing games, the technology has been applied to real-world applications as diverse as digital signage, virtual shopping, education, telehealthservice delivery and other areas of health IT. 

Kinect’s development codename was Project Natal. Microsoft chose the name Kinect as a portmanteau of the words kinetic (meaning related to or producing movement) and connect, which the company considers the two key purposes of the system.
