Have you ever dreamed of appearing alongside John Belushi in “Blue Brothers”?  Well, now you can thanks to a new technology from Yoostar.

Using something called ‘Active Immersion Technology’, the Yoostar system digitally removes the actor(s) from the scene and replaces it with your performance. You’ll need to invest in their propriety camera, which also includes a portable green screen, stand, remote and software.  After that, it’s as simple as plugging everything in, recording your performance and Yoostar will do the rest to integrate you into the movie scenes of your choosing.

The system will ship with 38 different clips that feature a variety of roles and when those run dry you can download more from Yoostar’s website, for an additional fee of course.  Some of the sample films include “The Godfather,” “Forrest Gump,” “The Terminator,” “Employee of the Month,” “Psycho,” “Rocky Balboa,” “Beverly Hills Cop 2″ and “Saw”, just to name a few.   Currently, Yoostar has deals with five of the major Hollywood studios which includes, Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc., Lions Gate Films, Inc., as well as the National Basketball Association and Sesame Workshop’s “Sesame Street” franchise.

The Yoostar system costs $169.95, which might be a bit much for some, especially considering you’ll have to spend additional money down the road on new clips (about $1.99, the cost of a ringtone) to keep the entertainment flowing.  But on the converse, it is cheaper than most video game consoles, they plan to run contests (I’m assuming they’ll be some decent prizes) and they’ve created a widget system that easily allows you to share your work on sites such as Facebook and Myspace.

Hit their site and let us know what you think.  My vote still is out, but I think the product has some potential.  I’m wouldn’t be surprised if they took on the e-card business.  That seems like a cash cow.

Hercules really wants your video chats to go down in 720p HD quality.  Today, the company announced the Dualpix HD720p webcam.  It’s not exactly a ground breaking device, but at a price point of $59.99 its a relatively affordable webcam given its feature set.

While I can’t sit here and boast about any revolutionary specs, it does feature a two axes rotation that should enable you to find a suitable angle, a built-in mic, some sort of proprietary software that will automatically adjust the picture according to your relative angle to the camera and a “highly secure attachment system” built specifically for laptops.   The Hercules Dualpix HD720p will go on sale this September at all major retailers.

The latest trend with video games is to play opponents over the Internet. While battling human opponents in your favorite game can be more challenging, you might want to take online gaming one step further and shoot at each other using the MSN Missile Launcher.

This toy plugs into two USB 1.1 port of any Vista/XP/2000 PC and includes an integrated webcam along with three foam missiles. The idea is that you plug this toy into your computer, plug another toy on your buddy’s computer (either in the next cubicle or anywhere on the planet), and connect with your friend through the MSN Messenger program.

Through MSN Messenger, you can control the MSN Missile Launcher connected to your buddy’s computer and your buddy can control the same toy connected to your computer. With its three foot long USB cable, each missile launcher can be placed within the general area of the PC.
Using the integrated webcam on each toy, each player then swivels the missile launcher up, down, right, or left to find the target (the other person). When you see the target through the webcam, click the mouse and fire a foam missile. After three shots, your friend will have to reload the missile launcher and you can start playing all over again.

To add to the fun, the missile launcher includes sound effects and can fire its foam missiles up to fifteen feet. If you don’t have a friend with an MSN Missile Launcher, you could hook this up to your home PC, control it from work, and use the included paper target with a bulls-eye to practice shooting the missile from work. (You’ll only get three shots before you’ll need to rush home and reload the missile launcher though.)

Rather than shoot at the paper target, you could also use this toy to monitor the activities in your home and fire at anyone in your house such as your spouse, kids, or even a burglar. Unfortunately, this toy lacks the ability to use its webcam as a motion-detection device to fire at targets automatically in the absence of your control.

For $60, the MSN Missile Launcher is a unique gift. After playing a few times, the novelty of firing foam missiles at each other may soon wear off, however. Still, if you’re looking for something different that can keep you amused with your computer, the MSN Missile Launcher may be the gift for you.

Pros:

• Fun idea for competing against your friends
• Easy to setup and use

Cons:

• Limited long-term playing appeal
• Only works with Vista/XP/2000, no Macintosh support
• Only works with MSN Messenger
