Everything about this is small: the screen’s less than an inch across, the resolution’s 96 by 64 pixels and it costs $US75. The whole thing’s so cute if it was a dog it would wear a dress and live in a handbag.
This tiny gaming system is actually part of the TinyScreen Kickstarter, a continuation of the previously successfully backed TinyCircuits project, a set of interchangeable hobbyist kit components.
The gaming kit can be yours if you go for the $US75 backing option and gets you this, along with a version of Flappy Bird and Asteroids:
If that looks complicated then remember this is a snap together system of circuits and bits. Other options include a smart watch, a streaming video screen, and even a Google Glass-style eye piece. Those are just some of the preset configurations, with the open source nature of the system meaning anyone who knows what they’re doing can create anything.
