...that puts the player onscreen. In EyeToy: Groove, players bop to the likes of Madonna and Fatboy Slim, and a calorie counter shows how much of that Big Mac you have burned up--a nod to parents concerned that too much sedentary screen time is making their kids fat.

Drivers, start your engines. If you hate to plug in a wired headset when you need to make a call behind the wheel, a cool solution is here.
