Imagine flying around the skies collecting juicy information from all your friends or neighbors. Sure, you might get the cops called on you, but the fun would be worth it right? If you are saying yes, that’s a little creepy, still you might certainly want to check out the very unique Red5 spy plane if that’s the case. This spy hawk control plane comes with a 5MP camera attached to its noise and beams everything back to a 3.5-inch screen on the plane’s remote controller, allowing you to see everything your plane sees, for better or worse. Beyond invading the privacy of people around you, the Red5 is also really appealing if you want to get an aerial view and actually feel like your in the cockpit, thanks to the unique view and perspective it gives you.

The plane works within a 600-feet radius and includes 4GB of SD card storage for recording the pictures and footage you take with your plane. Other features on this Spy Hawk include a stabilization system that makes it easier to fly, an autopilot switch which keeps the plane at the correct altitude, and a 7.4v lith-ion polymer battery that allows the plane to stay in the air for about thirty minutes. If the Spy Hawk does manage to crash it has a tough outer body due to its EPO crash resistant foam. The Spy Hawk costs just $380 and also link together with another plane and follow it while recording.

A video test flight of the plane can be seen below.

While we’ve all seen gun accessories for the Wiimote or even the Playstation Move controller, some ranging from just a simple gun to even something resembling a bow and arrow, your iPhone and iPod touch will now be able to give you a similar experience.

AppBlaster, a new product design by apptoyz, has been specifically designed for use with the company’s newly released Alien Attack iOS game. Morevoer, since unlike regular console controllers, the Apple products are devices onto their own that include a display, the game is based around the oldschool Altered Reality machines.

After you buy the Alien Attack game and the appBlaster, just place your iPhone or iPad into the specifically designed holding case and presto! You’ll be able to start shooting aliens from the comfort of your home in a highly interactive fashion.

Based on trigger-to-touch-screen technology, you won’t need to charge or buy batteries for the accessory, as the triggers will simply operate two pads that touch the screen and let you use both primary and secondary shooting function.

Currently, the Allien Attack game can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store, with a full version to launch on 6 July, whereas the appBlaster accessory is available for pre-order for about $32 dollars, reported to launch one day later.

The appBlaster doesn’t require any batteries as it sports trigger-to-touch-screen technology to fire the in-game shooter. The triggers operate two pads that touch the screen and shoot the in-game blaster, allowing the user to use both the primary and secondary shooting functions. To make the experience more realistic, the appBlaster can be cocked and reloaded using the iPhone’s or iPod touch’s motion sensitivity.

Simply download the free app, apptoyz Alien Attack, from the iTunes App Store, lock and load your iPhone or iPod touch to the top of the blaster, and using the unique trigger-to-touch-screen technology, shoot the advancing aliens from all corners of the room.
