–THIS EVENT HAS ENDED–

Few days ago, we acknowledged the coming of the well known gaming tournament in India. Further details talk about the venue and killer prizes to be won for each winner!

Venue/ Location –

The gaming tournament will take place on 14th October, 2011 at Bandra Kurla Complex Grounds, Mumbai, India.

Prizes to be won:

Counter Strike 1.6 / Call of Duty –

1^st prize – Rs. 1 lakh +M11X Laptop
2^nd prize – Rs. 50 k + M11X Laptop

NFS / FIFA / NFS Girls / GTA Girls –

Rs. 10k + AW 3D monitor
Rs. 5 k + GTX 560 Ti graphics card

Few pointers –

If you are thinking what ‘GTA for Girls’ really means, it’s an event dedicated only for women to participate and compete only with women. I don’t fully understand why there is a sperate event for that. It’s probably an effort by Nvidia to understand the number of women gamers in India. And most importantly, if you are willing to participate, make sure you register right away as the entires are limited.

The Future Of Human/ Electronic Skin Technology

September 23, 2011 by Raj Agrawal Leave a Comment

Merging biology and electronics gives access to a new and upcoming technology. This has led to the development of a super thin and highly flexible material like a tattoo, embedded with a wireless electronic chip to be stuck on human skin. It’s applications are many, from monitoring health to even sending commands to human-machine interfaces like video games. The newly developed material/device is easily removable, as easily it’s stuck on the skin surface.

The device is designed to easily blend in with the mechanics of the human skin, where it can resist the natural vigor of twists, turns and stretches of the human skin, yet maintaining the functionality of the wireless circuitry. The research is being led by John A. Rogers, the Lee J. Flory-Founder professor of engineering at the University of Illinois.

The vision is to exploit these concepts in systems that have self-contained, integrated functionality, perhaps ultimately working in a therapeutic fashion with closed feedback control based on integrated sensors, in a coordinated manner with the body itself, Rogers said.

–THIS EVENT HAS ENDED–

The mega LAN gaming party is scheduled to spill in prizes worth Rs. 10 Lakhs and every participating gamer will be given an opportunity to have their hands on the ultimate gaming rigs!

Being a gaming enthusiast myself, i spend some of my weekly hours playing Counter Strike 1.6, typically, within a gaming clan or on public servers. Considering the game’s age and it’s new versions already in the market, this game never gets old; i’m sure most 1.6 gamers would agree on this. So, i can sense how each tag of victory and recognition matters for any gamer. This is a great event for the Indian gaming crowd to have fun and earn recognition among the gaming community at the legendary LAN Gaming Event to be held at Mumbai, India.

The LAN gaming party is scheduled for October 14th, 2011 and the registrations are currently open and free. If you are interested to participate in this event, make sure you register yourself quickly as the entries are on first come first server basis, so you may not want to miss it out.
