Nintendo Japan confirmed it will release a new game console, Condename "Project Cafe," in calendar year 2012 that will be fully announced and playable at E3 this coming June.
"We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles."
Unconfirmed but probable specs:
"Significantly more powerful" than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and backwards compatible with current Wii software. It will feature a tablet-shaped controller that has a 6-inch touch screen display in the center, dual analog sticks, and has the ability to stream content directly from the console wirelessly.
Based on a revamped version of AMD’s R700 GPU architecture. Like the Xbox 360, the system’s CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster.
Full 1080P High Definition Display
Price point of around $350-$400
Battlefield 3 looks amazing. High definition 60 frames per second military pornography.

I feel PlayStation is copying more the Nintendo Wii, and I am more impressed with the no controller Kinect. Interesting features to note for the Kinect are as follows. The Kinect uses a multi-array microphone meaning it cancels out ambient noise, uses acoustics, and is compatible with surround sound systems. It features infrared with a sensor to allow for different lighting in the room. A motor moves the Kinect to the optimal position to capture the people in front of it automatically. Speech recognition is a selling point and appears to work well, although we will have to wait to see if it impresses in actual video games.
This is a canceled Ubisoft Monpelier project created by Fanny Vergne and another unnamed 3D environment artist. "Gorilla Nation", set in future London, 2032. This was a pitch for the game and is pre-rendered. My understanding is that it's a collaboration of different artists.

Recently I have finished designing Aishio Jewelry. Aishio is a Jewelry online store that features princess-style jewelry. My design idea was based on combining the color palette and logo provided with the technology behind the new e-commerce platform.

Really cool technology. Companies and individuals are starting to take notice and experiment with AR. Augmented Reality takes a live view of the real world and merges them with computer-generated images to create a virtual and interactive reality.
Note quite the 3D simulated world envisioned in yesteryear, but it is still very interesting.
Interestingly the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole fighter, that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions doesn't use a traditional HUD, but instead tracks targets through the pilot's helmet mounted display (HMD) that uses an Augmented Reality System that even allows the pilot to look through his own aircraft as if it weren't there.
