We have had skateboards, surfboards, scooters, segways... But the big question is... when is the Hoverboard being released? Meet the Hendo Hoverboard! Originally designed in Japan, the board includes four 'hover engines' which are designed to create a magnetic field. It promises to lift a person an inch above the ground - creating the hovering effect. The only downside is that the board has to be placed on top of a metallic surface (aluminium, copper or stainless steel) for it to hover. New updated design of the Hendo Hoverboard Other companies such as Lexus, have been designing a Hoverboard aswell which works similar to the Hendo Hoverboard. However both boards share the same disadvantage, they cannot be used anywhere and would have to be used on a specialised skate park made of metal. Bibliography & References Anderton, E. (2017).

As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and...

Virtual Reality has always been this crazy new concept that allows a gamer to almost be physically absorbed into a game. VR has been around since the 1950's however these were only basic models. Over time, the software and graphics have been perfected to give more of an interactive and life like gaming system. There are many different consoles that offer virtual reality as a feature that all vary in prices. However, I wanted to write about the Oculus Rift and the Sony PlayStation VR system.

It was my seventh Birthday when I unwrapped my first ever console - the Nintendo Wii . Released in 2006, it was unlike any other consoles at the time. This console had new and exciting ways of involving the whole family during multiplayer games and was extremely interactive. It was no surprise that during 2007, the Nintendo Wii had beaten it's competitor's, Microsoft's Xbox 360 in sales and took the lead over Sony's PlayStation 3 . Although Nintendo is know for it's newer consoles, the first gaming system that was produced by this company in 1980 - 1981 named Game & Watch (G&W) . This was an electronic handheld device which only played a single game on a LCD screen - this console was extremely successful. One of the first official consoles released by this company was back in 1983 named the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) . They caught the attention of customers by making the graphics on this console more creative in a hope to get rid of the ba...
