I think it is safe to say that Lexus has taken backseat in-car entertainment systems and finally gotten it right with its ICE (in-car entertainment) system now available on the RX-range SUVs over the pond. Mounted on the back of each seat is a single slim tablet that includes a wide WVGA screen and integrated slot-loading DVD player. Also included in each tablet is RCA inputs as well as USB and an SD card slot. The excellence doesn't end there.

The screens can operate independently or they can operate simultaneously. So if the kiddos want to watch the same movie they can without needing an extra copy of the DVD and the same applies with video games or other devices that utilize the RCA inputs. The units also include infrared headphones. The option is a very hefty $4,300, unfortunately, but regardless, other manufacturers should take note. This is how you execute backseat in-car entertainment. It's all about making the family vehicle as much like a taxi cab or police car as possible--you must separate the front from the back. added on 2008-02-29

PLAYSKOOL goes prehistoric with the introduction of the KOTA The Triceratops Dinosaur. Featuring sophisticated electronics, animatronics and design, this 'life-size' baby dinosaur 'comes to life' creating a magical experience for preschoolers. Measuring over 40-inches long KOTA The Triceratops reacts to touch and sound with realistic dinosaur noises and movements. Featuring sensors in eleven areas on his body, KOTA will react to touch by moving his head, tail and horns or giving a friendly dino roar. With KOTA The Triceratops children will enjoy the simulated experience of 'riding' a dinosaur; kids can ride comfortably on his back in a spring-loaded seat, holding onto a handle hidden behind the dinosaur's head. To enhance the fantasy play of going for an adventure on a triceratops, while 'riding' KOTA children will hear fun jungle sounds. Kids can also flip a switch on the handle to play adventure-themed songs while enjoying their prehistoric journey. KOTA The Triceratops comes complete with leafy greens that the dinosaur will 'munch' when 'fed.' And, like a good friend, KOTA will roar back when spoken to. Six "D" batteries are required but not included. added on 2008-02-22

Needies are interactive plush dolls inspired by codependent, high-maintenance relationships.

Totally attention-starved, they compete with each other for human affection -- or, getting touch, as they like to say.

When you give Needies touch (by hugging and squeezing them), they will return your kindness with songs and shameless flattery.

But remember that Needies always know when other Needies are getting touch! If one Needie is getting touch while others are neglected, the unloved Needies will conspire to take its place.

Shadow Monsters is an installation by Philip Worthington that creates screaming monsters based on the shadow from your hands.

As we all know, putting your hands in front of a lamp enables you to produce shadow monsters on the wall. The only thing missing is the teeth, spikes and tongues of the monsters, but all this is now possible thanks to the Shadow Monsters installation. added on 2008-01-07

Engage your child's imagination with the Robopanda, a playful, talkative, interactive robotic panda friend. With his engaging personality and bright animated eyes, the Robopanda loves to share stories and jokes, play games, sing songs, and chat with children of all ages. The fun-filled robotic bear can even crawl on all fours, return to a sitting position, and give hugs, making him far more versatile than a traditional teddy bear (and much easier to maintain than a dog). Designed to work without a remote control, the Robopanda is controlled directly by touch and sound, with eight touch sensors and a stereo sonic sensor located throughout his body. Touch his head and he'll respond with a nod. Pick him up and he'll giggle and ask for a ride. In short, the Robopanda's advanced artificial intelligence and awareness gives your child hours of delight and entertainment. He even knows how to track objects with his eyes and avoid obstacles.

Equipped with eight touch sensors and a stereo sonic sensor, the Robopanda works without a remote control.
