having fired weapons at simulated
threats.

The driving simulator is no toy. It will mainly be used to
analyse driving characteristics under such conditions as
falling asleep at the wheel and drowsiness, glancing from
side to side and not checking that the road is safe, fatigue
or illness, as well as developing active safety technology
for effectively reducing the number of accidents.

Its makers, Racewood
Simulators, say the Ridemaster
Pro enables horse lovers to use
normal riding techniques to
trot, canter and prompt any
number of advanced
manoeuvres. Its quite a
favourite among people living
in extremely hot regions, or
regions that have torrential
rains. It is much better than a
real horse in more ways than
one.

19. 17 Shadow Runner for LEGO
Shadow Runner is a head to head race over 15 meters, with Shadow Runner in one lane and
an eager challenger in the other, battling it out to be the first across the finish line and in the
fastest time. The footage is augmented on large screens around the racing track.
This unique experience certainly created a buzz and saw the running challenge taken every
minute over the four days of the Expo. Every performance was recorded, replayed on a big
screen and then emailed out, allowing the children to watch, and no doubt re-watch, their
own race. This enabled them to share their LEGO experience with all their friends and family.
