AP via CNN:

An experimental helmet from Toshiba Corp. gives its wearer the visual experience of being someplace else.

Inside the headgear from the Japanese electronics maker, a 40-centimeter (16-inch) screen can show a vista that is synched with the wearer’s head movements, giving the illusion of actually being there.

The 3 kilogram (6 pound) helmet—squared off in the back and rounded, bubble-like, in the front—has infrared sensors at the top that detect which way the wearer’s head is moving, said company spokeswoman Kaori Hiraki.

A bespoke search engine that can be included on people’s websites or blogs is the latest offering from Google.

Google Custom Search Engine, as the tool is known, allows users to choose which webpages to search.

Users can also customise the look of results, how web content is prioritised or add paying adverts to the results.
