GeekBytes: The Heat Is On

Another day, another pile of awesomeness. Today, we take a look at heat-controlled gaming, special eye tech that could keep drowsy drivers safe, a comedy belt buckle, and a cool gadget for your phone.

Wear The Ultimate Geek Belt Buckle

Statement belt buckles are always pretty fun to wear or find. The best ones are those made from another product, so this buckle made from a Sega Game cartridge is pretty awesome. The game featured on the buckle is Two Lies and will also set you back $15.

Tobii Picks Up Driver Distraction or Drowsiness

A new system created by Tobii will help pick up when drivers are not focusing enough on the road, using only their eyes as a guide.

Check out the video to see how it works:

Create Better iPhone Films With A Slider

Now the iPhone has a camera of eight megapixels, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of it and produce great mini movies? Check out the Mobislyder for iPhone. Not only does it stop those typical handheld shakes, but also pushes your phone (iPhone, Android and many other models) along a rolling and flexible platform for all kinds of cool effects.

Turn Up The Heat While Gaming, Literally

If the likes of the Kinect or Playstation Move isn't intuitive enough for you, how does thermal gaming sound? It can map your body movements like a Kinect and make you feel different temperatures in specially-made games. A team from the Tokyo Metropolitan Universty created three games to show off how thermal technology could be used in gaming--one picked out the temperature of a drawing, one which alters the heat if you get a message and also one from within the controller, which helps you dodge ice and fire hazards. Pretty interesting stuff! [via Engadget]
