Mmm! That's some good Pi! GBAtemp Raspberry Pi contest!

Congratulations Mr_Pichu



The problem is that screen modules cost so much on their own, it ends up being cheaper to just buy a tablet

But a tablet has a little screen, and POS need to have bigger screens to be able to work comfortable.

congrats Fella..

Because there is nothing more embarrassing than dying in front of your gaming rig or console, I introduce to you the Raspberry Pi Gamer Vital Signs Monitor. A must for the hardcore gamer, this system monitors your vital signs to ensure your continued gaming existence.

Unlike other vital sign monitors we took the male gamers needs in mind, and designed the advanced Pulse Oximeter sensor to attach conveniently and discreetly to the gamers penis, thus leaving the extremities free for an unfettered gaming experience.

Should your vitals weaken, using wireless Bluetooth technology, the Raspberry Pi monitor will automatically connect to your smartphone and will immediately contact a loved one, and/or any life alert service provider of your choice.

For the professional gamer this system can be used as a training aide to be sure you are physically at the top of your game.

For the game developer, log and analyze the physiological reactions of your game testers to guarantee your next title is a hit.

The system package includes:

1 - Raspberry Pi w/Bluetooth Adapter
1 - SD Card w/Open Source Monitor Software & Documentation
1 - Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter Sensor
2 - USB Cables
1 - AC Adapter
10 - Sterile Alcohol Prep Pads

What a copy of Hitoe idea... I suppose it's better to copy an idea that sounds good that think anything by yourself...

yes cuz his penis attachment is very similar to a lycra style running vest top thingy.

plus a penis attachment , and an open source piece of kit has much much much more potential.

When the idea came to me, I did some research into its feasibility. I wanted to make sure the project was relatively inexpensive to build, and since the Raspberry Pi has ethernet for communications, a smartphone would be optional.

I considered the use of a Pulse Oximeter because it can give a good indication of a subjects physical condition non-invasively. For the female gamer a small sensor probe could be attached to an ear lobe.

There is a lot of work being done in the area of physiometry & fitness tracking. In the last few years there have been numerous wearable fitness tech products coming to market. The biggest thing of note is the cost of this technology has dramatically fallen. For example, a Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter can be purchased for under $100.

casn someone explain to me what this product is for?

casn someone explain to me what this product is for?

This product is for all those little custom DIY projects that don't quite have a mass-produced solution, that require a small and cheap computer to run/control.

That, and to teach kids programming, because it's cheap.

what applications can it be used for? 3dS?

 

[Veho]

Media player, network attached storage, torrent client, retro console emulator, stuff like that.

As for the 3DS, you can use the Pi to unbrick consoles that have been bricked by Gateway's bricker code.

 

[Mr_Pichu]

what applications can it be used for? 3dS?

One of the applications under development is a de-bricking tool for those plagued by a locked 3DS NAND.

 

[plog]

The de-bricking tool for the 3ds is already a fact.

Speaking of ideas...That's what this contest is all about. All you have to do is tell me what you would do with a Raspberry Pi, and if your idea is the best, you win a Raspberry Pi Basic Kit by CanaKit. Get creative. Your ideas can include things other than the Raspberry Pi, but it still needs to be the main component in your idea.

Thanks for the inspiration!

This contest resulted in me porting my Super Play Game engine (http://superplay.info/) to the Raspberry Pi. The port also led to me improving the OpenGL ES rendering performance.

Again, thank you!
