Parents are always challenged with how to keep their kids occupied in RVs and fifth wheels on long road trips. Staring out the window and reading books seem old-fashioned to a lot of kids. Technology has become almost a permanent part of their lives, so why not incorporate some of the latest gaming technology into your next trip and enjoy the peace and quiet as kids occupy themselves.
The game Project Cobra has many people talking. Created and developed by Zi Ye and Hammad Khalid in the Human Media Lab at Queen’s University in Canada, Project Cobra allows actual interaction between the game and players by way of an interactive “board” that twists and bends. Manipulating the board in different ways controls the game and the character’s movements and actions within the game.
The computer is placed in a bag the gamer puts on his shoulder. The strap has a projector attached to it and sensors run from the laptop into the gaming board. Bending a corner of the board forward could, for instance, power up a sword, and releasing or bending it back could then bring down all the force of hell on a once mighty opponent!” says Ridden.
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.
“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,” says Chris Holt in his article Gaming on the iPad: What works, what doesn’t. Holt also recommends driving games such as Need for Speed and Real Racing.
Whether it’s listening to music, or playing games, the noise level in a diesel pusher can be a point of contention. Now, the fighting is over. The Psyko 5.1 gaming headset gives 5.1 surround sound. It uses five separate speakers that fit into the bridge of the headset. Each ear cup is also equipped with subwoofers, says Ridden in his article Psyko 5:1: radical gaming headset. Kids and adults will feel like they are in the middle of a rock concert, or living on the set of their games. This is a three dimensional audio experience that takes headsets to the next level.
On the horizon for 2011 is Nintendo’s 3DS that is claiming to offer a 3D experience without accessories such as glasses. While technology is already developed that allows 3D viewing the naked eye, it hasn’t been applied to gaming technology.
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!
