Dec 05, 2012 08:30 am | Alison $$$eriou$ Cinema They say that home theater rooms are becoming a necessity in large homes. Whether in use or not, the space to have a theater/media room is something sought after in huge domiciles. Makes sense. We all enjoy sitting in the comfort of our home– no matter the size – and taking in a flick. Many of us line up to get some of the hot releases the day they come out on video. But what if you had the money and were able to get first run movies in the comfort of your own luxurious home theater? Yep, you can. The PRIMA Cinema system is the perfect companion for high-end home theaters. PRIMA’s focus is on new Theatrical releases. Yes, you pay for it – with PRIMA reportedly running $35,000. Minor in comparison to the entire luxury home theater investment however.  This media room must provides a rack-mountable PRIMA Cinema Player and Biometric Reader. Via broadband, members automatically receive and can watch (for $500 per) films on opening weekend. Connect to the system via HDMI and output 1080p and 24fps, 3D when necessary plus lossless PCM or Dolby TrueHD. Movies are also displayed in the master aspect ratio for the true theatrical experience. And the biometric security protection ensures there's no errant orders too. At $500 a pop I would hope there is protection. Having been designed at BMW DesignWorksUSA you know it looks the sleek, sexy part. I'm willing to bet the big movie moguls have PRIMA Cinema in their homes. Because when you have the money why not?

They do have a tendency to get into it sometimes, and you wonder the future of your iPad's health. Those little fingers tend to beat on the screen when they get engrossed in a game. And the more the kids know the characters or topics of the games the longer they seem to enjoy it.  So as the hours count down towards the holidays and your panic sets in of "do I have enough for the kids" and "what about my niece and nephew" look to a toy leader – and their latest innovation – to help fill stockings. This year Mattel launched their Apptivity™ line of apps and applicable products. The products are essentially game controllers in the shape of a character or car. Once the game app is downloaded the product syncs with the pad and becomes the controller.  Mattel builds them with screen-safe plastic, so you know your pad is safe. Currently compatible with iPad®, iPad2® and the new iPad® (iPhone® or iPod touch® on select games) – Apptivity let's kids play games in a whole new way. Two of the top games available this holiday time are currently on massive sale. So get in and take advantage! Batman the Dark Knight Rises, currently $3.35, was themed from the summer box office hit. The interchangeable weapons and gear enables you to fight crime and chase the bad guys in Gotham. And four different Hot Wheels, like the $7.99 Power Rev, let you master the Hot Wheels Test Facility. With inexpensive options like these you know the kids will be entertained, and your iPad is theoretically safe from being beaten up.

There might be an app for most things, but not everything – yet. I guess we are slowly but surely reaching the Holy Grail, although that would be some time away soon in this fast paced life that we live in. Well, just in case you were wondering whether it is possible at all to have some sort of laser tag experience, the $59.99 AppTag Smartphone Laser Tag would come in handy here, where you can indulge in single, multi- or team play, depending on whether you feel sociable at this point in time or not. Boasting a wide range of augmented reality games for you to choose from, the AppTag Smartphone Laser Tag will be compatible with both iOS and Android platforms. All you need to do is make sure the smartphone of yours is connected to the Hex3 AppTag attachment, and you are able to get started on your laser tag activity right next to reality itself. It does not matter where you indulge, in the bedroom, in a living room, on your roof, the limit of the Hex3 AppTag’s gaming potential really depends on your imagination (and safety of the place where you decide to conduct some Laser Tag goodness, of course). Scores are kept via Wi-Fi.

After all, it is far faster than foot, and who knows what the bad guys have in terms of their transport – they could jolly well have a carriage of their own. Well, fast forward to this day and we have the police force being updated to keep up with the times, where you can spot them riding around on the $8,900 Police Officer’s Electric Chariot, assuming the police department's budget allows for such an expenditure. Police on Segways would be another way to describe the Police Officer’s Electric Chariot, but I suppose doing so would infringe on some naming copyrights. The Police Officer’s Electric Chariot is an electric personal transport vehicle that can be used by police and military personnel who are on their patrols. This is a zero emission chariot, and it is powered by a couple of lithium batteries for up to 25 miles per full charge (depending on the speed as well, of course). The DC motor will push along the vehicle and the officer at 5-, 8-, 10-, 12-, or 20-mph, while its front-wheel drive and 10:1 gear ratio delivers adequate power for climbing up to 22° inclines. It takes up to four hours for a full recharge.

I certainly am one who falls under that particular camp, but one ought to realize that sometimes, it seems as though those high end speakers do not seem to be worth the whole lot of money that you paid for. Some call it diminishing returns, others say that this is just paying just money for all the research and development that has gone into the manufacturing and creation of the speaker itself. Well, today we will not touch on anything that will burn holes in your wallet or bank account, but will instead zoom in on the Acase Black Diamond III compact USB powered Bluetooth speaker which is said to be able to mesmerize everyone around with heart pumping music and a rhythm rocking vibrant lightshow. Specially designed to be subtle in nature, it will yet retain the qualities that make it an elegant centerpiece on any shelf or desk. The Acase Black Diamond III will transform itself into a glowing crystal with interchanging colors whenever it is powered. Playing nice with the slew of Bluetooth devices while being outfitted with an audio plug, the Acase Black Diamond III can be converted into a programmable multi-color disco orb should you want to spice things up in your home without having to live with a gaudy looking shiny disco ball. Each Black Diamond III Bluetooth speaker will be accompanied by a remote control that enables you to easily adjust volume, lighting effects, brightness and colors, while it carries an inner storage chamber to stash away the remote control, allowing it to be interconnected to create the ultimate sound and mood experience.

Of course, I am not referring to those times when one was living in the midst of a world war as those were dreadful and awful moments, but rather, when everything is going all right with a recession thrown into the mix once in a while. Well, in this day and age, we live extremely fast paced lifestyles, and the Tinké from Zensorium might just be able to offer some sort of respite. Basically, the Tinké is a device which is used to monitor cardiorespiratory health as well as stress levels. Juliana Chua, Principal of Zensorium's Business Innovation Group, said, "Monitoring cardiorespiratory health and stress levels are an important yet neglected aspect of understanding one's health and wellness progression which is in line with the Quantified Self movement. Tinké's compact, innovative and unique design with no‐fuss portability means that it can be used anytime, anywhere." Cardiorespiratory health has been defined as the ability of your heart, lungs and organs to consume, transport and utilize oxygen, and it ought to be tracked and monitored so that one is able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Tinké relies on optical sensing technologies in order to capture blood volume which changes at your fingertips, where it quantifies both cardiorespiratory health and stress levels into indexes. These two indexes will trend alongside one another for daily and monthly monitoring, while delivering a better understanding of your health progression from the comfort of your mobile devices. The Vita Index is a personalized cardiorespiratory score which is depicted after putting together data collected from heart rate, blood oxygen level and respiratory rate, while the Zen Index relies on heart rate variability as its basis, churning out a personalized score for your stress levels. Tinké will of course engage the social side of things, letting you share your results on Facebook so that others can berate you to start hitting the treadmill. Tinké will come in grey, blue, pink, and white colors at $119 a pop.
