Making Long Trips Fun In RVs And Diesel Pushers
As any parent knows, one of the biggest challenges they face when on a road trip is keeping the kids entertained. Long gone are the days where children were content reading a book or staring out the window. Technology has become just as much a part of the everyday lives of children as it has for adults so why not include some of the latest gaming technology on your next road trip? While the kids are playing games, you can have some peace and quiet.
One of the coolest gaming interfaces coming out is Project Cobra. Project Cobra was designed by Zi Ye and Hammad Khalid in the Human Media Lab at Queen's University in Canada. The concept is taking games and projecting them onto a board that twists and bends. Attached sensors feed back into the laptop. Placing pressure on the board helps control the game, says Paul Ridden in his piece Gaming Flexibility Takes on New Twist with Project Cobra. The idea behind the design is to engage people physically with the software.
The gamer is able to place the computer in a bag that hangs on the shoulders. The strap features an attached projector with additional sensors that run from the laptop to the gaming board. In his article Gaming Flexibility Takes on New Twist with Project Cobra, Ridden also mentions that bending a corner of the board in one direction could, for instance, power a sword up for fighting. Releasing the corner or bending it back could then bring down the sword with force against an opponent.
Allowing children to play with Apple's new iPad is also an excellent option for keeping children entertained. Perhaps because it is new, the iPad is still working out a few minor gaming kinks but for the most part the apps are very user friendly. One game in particular has captured the attention of many; Strategy and Civilization Revolution.
In his article; Gaming on the iPad: What works, What doesn't, Chris Holt stated "The former a hybrid game, the latter an iPad-optimized title--play much better on the iPad because its larger screen reveals more of the battlefield while still offering a simple touch mechanism for ordering around your units." Holt also recommends driving games such as Need for Speed and Real Racing.
Noise is always a big factor when taking a road trip in a diesel pusher. Whether it is the sound of the vehicle itself or the noise from the divices being used to pass the time, noise can lead to contention. To combat noise contention the Psyko 5.1 gaming headset delivers 5.1 surround sound and peace to all those not using the headset. The Psyko 5.1 headset features 5 speakers that fit nicely into the bridge of the headset. Each ear cup features a subwoofer. Whether you are listening to the sound from a game or the music of a live rock show, both kids and adults will feel like they are smack dab in the center of the action.
By 2011, Nintendo is planning on releasing the 3DS. They claim that this console with provide a 3D experience without glasses or other accessories. This technology exists already but it has yet to be applied to gaming.
Let somebody else's kids do the complaining. Set your kids up with some of the most advanced and exciting gaming technology available. Then watch mile after mile pass in peace and quiet!
