[ad_1] This wouldn’t be an easy project to recreate, and it’s not an ideal solution whether or not you can write VR software.

PlayStation 2 can play homebrew games by using DVD player exploits
[ad_1] The PlayStation 2 is over 20 years old, but it’s still difficult to hack if you want to run homebrew games without tweaking the hardware. You usually need to install a modchip, buy a specially-configured memory card or even pry the system open to block the disc reader’s sensors. However, it might just be […]
Hacked NES Power Glove controls a modular synth with finger wriggles
[ad_1] Never mind controlling a modular synth by twiddling knobs. If one modder has his way, one of Nintendo’s legendary controllers is the way of the future.

You may hear more as negotiations progress over the next few weeks. It’s not unexpected. Dougherty […]
NVIDIA’s $99 Jetson Nano is an AI computer for DIY enthusiasts
[ad_1] The kit can run Linux out of the box, and supports a raft of AI frameworks (including, of course, NVIDIA’s own). It comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, gigabit Ethernet and the I/O you’d need for cameras and other attachments. Price, unsurprisingly, is the main hook. While the Nano isn’t nearly as powerful as […]
