Top Ten Family Restaurants in Toronto

I came across this list posted by SeeTorontoNow.com and was surprised by their list of top 10 Family Friendly Restaurants in Toronto.  I encourage you to check them out.  I have been to Pan, Il Fornello's and Magic Oven but I wouldn't say they were really family specific. I have heard really good things about Uncle Betty's and look forward to trying it.  To view the list, visit Family Restaurants.

Virtual reality headset

How cool is this? Saw this on 680 news: SAN FRANCISCO – Sony intends on unleashing its virtual-reality headset on consumers next year.

The gaming and electronics giant says its Project Morpheus VR system will debut in early 2016.

The announcement was made Tuesday at a news conference held during the Game Developers Conference.

Sony originally unveiled a prototype of the headset nicknamed Project Morpheus at last year’s conference. The headset works in tandem with Sony’s PlayStation 4 console and camera by covering users’ eyes and simulating virtual worlds on screen.

The company showed off an updated prototype of the headset on Tuesday. It features 5.7-inch (14.5-centimetre) OLED screens that display a 100-degree field of view and nine LED lights used to track movement. Sony says the headset can render games at 120 frames per second.

No price was announced.
