Aireal Improves Your Kinect Controller
If you've ever wasted time jumping up and down in front your Xbox Kinect controller to get it to respond, then Disney Research's new Aireal technology will be a welcome development. Aireal is a solution that Disney Research says "delivers interactive tactile experiences in free air." The device sits on top of your TV next to Kinect and pumps out compressed air. Those bursts of air hit your body and create a form of physical feedback. Check out Geek.com's Matthew Humphries's deep dive into the technology.

Rather than just go on and on about the "cool" factor of wearing Google Glass, he spent 48 hours delving deep into a different user experience, from getting fitted (with glasses, no less) and how it felt to use the device with glasses on. See what he had to say.
