Things I Like - Sciences

Holy Cow! Is that guy holding a baseball player in his hand?? That's right, you'll be thrilled to know that technology has brought us LIVE baseball cards!!

Topps, the #1 maker of baseball cards is introducing cards that can be used with a computer to bring your favorite players to life.

Just hold the special 3D Live card in front of a webcam and watch a three-dimensional avatar spring to life -- rotate the card and the figure rotates in full perspective. The technology provided by Total Immersion also allows collectors to drop the player into simple pitching, batting and catching games using the computer keyboard.

Won't you feel terrible keeping them all cooped up in a shoebox?

Check out the video to see them in action - be sure to have the sound on for full effect.



Did anyone else flashback to this?
