Pretty Cool – Multi Touch

Seth Sandler has created something pretty cool. With all the hype about touch computing, especially Multi-Touch due to iPhone and iTouch, here is a pretty cool low budget way to take a normal laptop, a webcam, and turn it into a custom laptop with touch software.

Seth really gives you a true step-by-guide with is pretty cool, as not too many guys out there would do the same. All the cool software he uses is open-source (read: it can be used for free) so as long as you have a spare webcam lying around, you can achieve the same pretty cool effect.

I think its great that everyone is customising laptops and customising software to further push forward touch technology. Sure its mainly the computer geniuses that have the time and the ability to do the pretty cool hacks, but all that means is that it makes it easy for the rest of us to do the same.

So sit back and watch this pretty cool video, and if you try it out, leave a comment and let us know how you go!

Pretty Cool Video – Guitar Hero Hack

When you mix music nerds with computer nerds, we think sometimes it can turn out into something pretty cool. This guy here has taken something very cool, Guitar Hero, from a cool console and turned his skills into something great.

Proving that Guitar Hero skills can turn into real skills on a guitar. We thank the cool nerds for doing these pretty cool hacks. Whilst you might think of better things to do with your time, you will at least probably laugh at the fact that this guy has way too much time on his hands. Enjoy!
