    Oculus Rift at Sundance: games are just the beginning

    Sundance describes the New Frontier portion of its annual film festival as a "creative space" for "multimedia performances, transmedia experiences," and other interactive art forms. This year that translated into a room of pure sensory overload: orange-red walls with matching plush couches, video projections, and in one corner, five stations gilded in chrome. That’s where a constant stream of visitors would sit down, plug in, and get transported into another world. Oculus h...

    A Wearable Book Feeds You Its Characters' Emotions As You Read

    Researchers at MIT's Media Lab have created a wearable, augmented book that tries to physically make you feel the characters' feelings as you read the story. The project's called Sensory Fiction. It's a book covered in sensors and actuators and hooked up to a strappy vest type thing you wear while reading. As the plot unfolds, the gadget-book produces physical sensations to mimic the characters' emotions.

    Why the Rich Aren’t Good at Giving

    Philanthropy can be a difficult subject. The simple view is that any giving is a laudable sacrifice. But there is a more complex view that weighs a charity’s mission and the giver’s self-interest before assigning praise or gratitude.

    On and Off the Road with Barack Obama

    Obama’s Presidency is on the clock. The coming year is a marker, the final interval before the fight for succession becomes politically all-consuming. “The things you start may not come to full fruition on your timetable,” Obama says. “But you can move things forward. And sometimes the things that start small may turn out to be fairly significant.”

    Diet Soda: Fewer Calories In The Glass May Mean More On The Plate

    The latest ding against diet drinks? Researchers report this week that overweight and obese people who choose diet beverages eat about the same number of total calories as their counterparts guzzling sugary drinks — they're just getting more of their calories from solid food. In other words, their drinks may be no-calorie, but they're making up for it at meal and snack times.

    This Nigerian doctor runs his hospital on corn cobs and used bike parts

    At rural hospitals in Africa, you'll often see high-tech medical equipment discarded and unused. In places where electricity is unreliable and spare parts are unavailable, expensive devices can quickly become worthless. So Dr. Oluyombo Awojobi designs and builds his own low-tech devices to keep his hospital running.

    What weird tech trends from CES 2014 mean to the average person

    The Consumer Electronics Show is an annual lovefest between inventors and the gadgetry enthusiasts who love them. For the rest of us, this means we hear a lot about tech trends that sound too ridiculous to take seriously. The Internet of Things? Made up. Wearable technology? Too expensive. Brain microchips? Dystopian science fiction. Robots? Actually, robots sound awesome. Those can stay.
