Virtual Reality Happy Meal an actual reality!

Aw the Swedes get all the good things. McDonalds is beginning a program in Sweden whereby your Happy meal Box turns into Virtual Reality Glasses. Whaat.

After they’ve eaten their meal, kids (and lets be real here, adults) can transform their Happy meal Box into VR glasses supposedly similar to Google Cardboard with a couple of folds and the included plastic lenses. They call them Happy Goggles.

You need to provide your own Smartphone, but they do have an App for download which includes a virtual Ski race game which has been officially endorsed by the Swedish alpine ski team

From the Sauce, the Happy Goggles website: “It’s our mission to ensure that the world’s most famous box will continue to be magical and relevant to families for another 30 years. The Happy Meal simply must move with the times.”

Watch:

That is so cool.

Indiegogo project of the week! Standing desks for everyone!

Our future tech of the week is the Ombee Standing desk.  It’s an Indiegogo fundraiser project that claims to be the the perfect standing desk. As of writing it’s raised 128% of it’s goal so far, so you know it’s gotta be good!

It’s portable, modular, quick to set-up and comfortable. AND according to Ombee, it’s the only stand up desk that turns into a case and provides lower body movement while standing.

Stand up desks are all the rage at the moment – promoting a lifestyle that keeps you healthy even while you work and at $199 plus shipping, it’s an excellent deal.

Some reviews, off their website-

“The OMBEE desk keeps the brain more active during work.” – Dr. Geoffrey Pfeifer, PH. D. Neurophysiology

“Some studies have show that frequent exercises throughout the day, even small ones, can improve blood circulation, which will lower blood pressure, promote weight loss, and even improve blood sugar control. The OMBEE desk system allows the users to move their legs and with minimal impact on their work.” – Grace Huang, D.O. Interventional Cardiologist

Plus, we hear it’s all the rage in Hollywood. Healthy and hip? You gotta get one.

There’s still 9 days left on their Indiegogo project, check it out here!

Turn WiFi off, try to go to a webpage, and -wait for it – press space bar. Your little Dino friend will start to hop along and you have to make him jump over stuff!

New iPad Pro!

The next big thing in iPads is apparently not so big… reports are that Apple will be revealing a new member of the iPad Pro family at the Special Media Event on March 15th – albeit a baby one.

The smaller iPad Pro will be a 9.7 inch device (the current iPad Pro is a 12.9 inch model) however will have the same awesome features as it’s bigger brother.

Apple is rumored to be slimming down their iPad  line-up and focusing only on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and 7.9-inch iPad mini 4 as its main devices, with the iPad Air 2 possibly available as an entry-level model at the middle size.

Did the size of the iPad Pro previously put you off despite it’s many attributes? Would you be more likely to buy a smaller iPad Pro?

Siri coming to the Mac?

HEY SIRI! Will you always be stuck inside my iPhone?

Well, guy, maybe not, as the case may be. Now, no jumping too far ahead of yourself there, we’re not saying that she’s going to be a physical entity anytime soon (although don’t count it out?), rumor has it that Siri will be coming to a Mac computer near you, and soon.

How soon? Why, later this year, we’re so glad you asked! Apparently Siri will be a feature in OS X 10.12 which debut’s later this year. It’s had over 3 years of testing and will accessed through an icon in the menu bar as well as via a keyboard shortcut and by the “Hey Siri” command when the computer is connected to power.

OS X 10.12 will probably be announced at WWDC in June ahead of a fall release.
