For decades, interfaces for computers and game consoles meant keyboards, mice, and joysticks—and little else. Recently however, we've been getting a lot more diversity in how we can interact with our digital devices, with touch screens allowing gestural controls and handheld motion-sensing controllers letting us pretend we're holding a tennis racket or light saber. Microsoft's Kinect, a camera-based system that can identify hand and body movements, takes the idea to the next level, turning players themselves into controllers.

A tremendous device that proves that "WIRELESS POWER" is possible!!

Power Mat - Wireless charging device

 

 

• The Powermat Portable is intended for travelers who are tired of lugging around a collection of chargers for mobile devices. 

• Place any device on the mat, and it uses induction to deliver a wireless charge; the power flows to small receivers that can be fitted to most handheld gadgets. 

• The Powermat is powered by an AC adapter, but a built-in lithium-ion battery allows charging when you can't find a wall socket.
