Atari on more than 40 years ago Atari opened a portal into our living rooms with the Atari 2600 now we're ready to reopen that portal and introduce a brand new Atari product inspired by the past but created designed and engineered for today introducing the Atari VCS the 2600 was just this meteor from another planet it crashed here and kicked off the evolution of all gaming life as we know it not only was this sort of a video game console but it was turning television into a more social activity it was like we were transported into the future something magical happening on the TV for the first time it is pretty exciting to see Atari kind of come back and take what they did well and reimagine that for this new generation that are playing games differently consuming media differently having different social experiences around this type of media taking everything we loved about that first sort of simple retro Atari experience the first time we used it and bringing it into a modern context which is a bit more complex one of the unique things about the Atari VCS is its PC architecture and Linux operating system you can play hundreds of classic Atari games on it but there's more to it than that modern games will be there too along with social media streaming video music and so much more hey Atari let's play tempest 4000 our mission was to create an iconic and authentic Atari product one that's beautiful and evokes emotion not just another box to shove into your TV the 2600 offers this amazing palette of iconic details you've got toggle switches and woodgrain fins and angles we looked at taking each of those core components and evolving it for a next generation it was something that feels like it felt and not trying to look how it looked then so with the 2600 it was a box with ribbing on a surface and we were looking at that detail and started talking about well what if the box was entirely ribs it's not a box with applied ribs it's actually constructed from India fins and layers we found a way to inlay a real natural wood product and it's a beautiful finish but it also becomes a really interactive part of the product the interface shines through that material we feel strongly that a product like this deserves a little more thought a little more effort a little more heart by solving for design intent manufacturability thermals designed for assembly all at the same time one of the things that was exciting me the most about it was the controller to see sort of a reimagine yet more versatile version of the same thing that I grew up with in my hand was instantly the one thing that I was super happy with we wanted to do something really special for our biggest atari thing we've created a special launch edition of the VCS only available on indiegogo Atari is kind of transcended beyond even those who had a chance to play it everything that I personally done in gaming past that point all trails back to those original roots it's a refreshing breath of air to have the Atari brand come back to gaming what's the most famous pistol in your mind my answer will always be the m1911 a pistol that most Americans have agreed with for the past century it was designed by mr. John Moses Browning and served as the standard issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces since 1911 it's not only a pistol but also represents the honor and pride of Americans the m1911 age is a card holder that pays tribute to the m1911 it's a two-piece card holder that simulates its reloading action when you press the release button the inner magazine will be released from the outside case so that you can take your cards out from it with one hand after you've finished you can simply push the magazine back until you hear that famous flick sound the m1911 H is made from an aluminium magnesium alloy so it's not too heavy and it keeps the weight as it was in the original design a lot of effort has been put into replicating the original Double Diamond pattern found on the m1911 script it's made from real walnut wood and a handmade process is used to replicate the original walnut grid the release button is on the side so that both right and left-handed users can easily use it it's not only a stylish everyday carry item but also very fashionable since the magazine is detachable you can choose which one to carry every day whether it be for credit cards business cards or cigarettes please support us so we can make this classic work of art come to life the idea for sense reax was a long-term dream to interact with the virtual world in a natural way use your hands your feet your whole body and a couple of years ago I came across Roth's thesis that's when we decided to come together and found a company the system works by combining multiple sensor types by actually taking the best features of each sensors and combine them fuse them in a certain way that we actually have a very precise system and which allows you to fully immerse in the inverter content the most important feature that we wanted our system to have is the very precise tracking of the hand not only position but also finger movements we think that our technology will revolutionize virtual reality because it really makes interaction natural so you don't have to learn the buttons of control but you really can use your hands to interact with virtual reality our system actually is the only one right now that is mobile that allows you to use your hands the hand might not always be in the line of sight so it might manipulate something which is out of of you real basically we wanted to have the possibility to incorporate different movements as well so even footsteps to actually move in the virtual reality immersion is particularly important because it connects the user to the virtual reality so you're not just playing you avatar you really become data augmented reality will certainly enrich our lives by adding information in your surrounding you're actually not changed to any location or computer you can take it everywhere and let virtual information pop up you can then interact with this information my ambition for sensor X is that we get this the system out in the in the field and actually let people use it to immerse into virtual reality the dream for motion capture I think has been out there for a long time and now finally with the Ascension of head mounted devices different types of sensors and experts like Nikko and roll I think we have reached a level where you can actually implement it it is really a paradigm change it can really change way we interact with electronics and and computers no matter what you need to create or which computing device you use and wherever you may happen to be you deserve one tool that does everything no compromises that's why we created pro point hi I'm grant hi I'm Mike we've been releasing products that push the boundaries of ergonomic Mouse design and function for over a decade and thanks to our incredible supporters raised nearly a million dollars and pledges to bring our products to life last year we launched the Z gaming mouse and it was voted the gaming innovation of the Year by CES and before that we launched our economically designed pen grip mouse this four point GT which went on to become computer peripheral of the year so we've gone back to the drawing board on the sub-point GT taking everything our customers loved improving what it already does and adding even more innovative features to make one device that really does fulfill your every need no matter we are heaven to be we created the ultimate economic mouths for designers power users and people on the go it's also a presenter device and you can even use it on your iPad the pro point was designed from the ground up for productivity and ergonomics conventional mice use a clog grip that orientate your hand and rest in an unnatural position that over time causes pain associated with carpal tunnel and tendonitis Pro points innovative pen grip design aligns your hand and wrist in a more neutral position providing comfort and precision at your fingertips your health is first and foremost so we also include award-winning economic software that is used by millions of people worldwide introducing dr. Kevin Taylor I've been involved in the office ergonomics fail for about 20 years or more now and I became interested in the field because I got RSI myself many years ago when you look at the research we're not really designed to sit in front of a computer and sit still all day that's behind a lot of the health problems today and there's some relatively straightforward things that you need to do but they're not very easy for people to remember so that's why we've come up with software which is designed to help people do that you know it's about your work area setting it up right using the right equipment and believe it or not the analysis of causing most of these issues it's that fixed posture grabbing hold of the mouse and trying to do that fine movement that really takes a strain onto your arm and shoulder one of the great things that we're really excited about the swift point is allows use your fingers to do that fine motor control that frees up your hand when I first saw it and first try the device I thought this is one of the best most well-designed products I've seen in the ergonomics space for years not only is Pro point the most comfortable Mouse in the world but with our gyro technology it's also a presenter meaning it's actually two devices at one stand tall with pro pointed hand and flick the switch to transform it into the best presenter device in the world lead your audience through your story with a virtual laser pointer and draw on the screen to highlight what matters most Pro Point supports a wireless receiver or Bluetooth which means it can be used on almost any device even an iPad your iPad is great for reading and browsing but for creating content with a touchscreen and a fat finger it can be difficult so we partner with the best remote desktop app developers in the world so you can remote into a Windows machine with full mouse control of your desktop apps like Word or Excel no desk no problem if you're sitting on a sofa with your laptop and a cafe on a plane or in a train or bus this is where Pro Point shines you can use it right on your laptop palm rest the USB receiver also charges the mouse a 30-second rapid charge gives one hour use so you never get caught short Pro point not only gives you the full functionality of a three-button mouse and scroll wheel but with gyroscope technology it opens up a new world of tilt gestures for panning and zooming unlike other mice they use the scroll wheel for middle mouse clicks Pro Point has a dedicated third mouse button that's easy to click you can assign separate functions to all three buttons when the device is tilted so there's actually six button actions right at your fingertips and office programs like Word and Excel use tilt gestures to effortlessly flick up down or even left/right in Photoshop or illustrator flick to the area you need to work on without even pressing a button for 3d modeling use tilt gestures to effortlessly rotate zoom and pan assign shortcuts to the tilt gestures like app switching and the actions you use the most Pro point is the ultimate tool for designers and power users in the office or on the go our goal was to develop one tool that does everything you need on any device with no compromises we just can't wait to get pro point into your hands you
