There is quite a large market for head-mounted cameras that can shoot in "extreme" conditions like skiing and snowboarding. A sports electronics company called Geonaute has just added to the mix something very different with the 360 Degree Sports Camera. The camera has 3 wide-angle lenses, each with 8 Megapixels, that allow the user to record the world in an almost … [Read more...] about Geonaute’s camera can shoot in 360 Degrees

Now it is the time at CES 2013 where the robots dance
What you are seeing here is the mRobo, which is an MP3 player that can tranform like a Transformer into a standing robot who dances. Apparently, it has some serious signature moves, as you can see in the video above. This drew quite a crowd at CES 2013. I know very little about this, but this is apparently planned to be marketed as a toy, so look for it later this year. … [Read more...] about Now it is the time at CES 2013 where the robots dance
Octa unveils their TabletTail or Monkey Kit for the tablet
I think that we all know that our tablets are being used in all sorts of positions that tablet creators never intended. I'm sure that a lot of us sit up in bed with the tablet, or do other things that just don't fly. Fortunately, there is the TabletTail Monkey Kit, from Octa, creators the Whale Kit, which is probably worth another article. The Monkey Kit gives the tablet … [Read more...] about Octa unveils their TabletTail or Monkey Kit for the tablet
Lite Brix are light-up building bricks
If you really knew me, then you would know why I just had to write about this particular product. Yes, I love Lego, and I have written two books on the subject. One is out now, and I'll tell you about that later. The other is due later this year. Cra-Z-Art showed off its new Lite Brix designs last night at ShowStoppers, another CES 2013 event. I suppose that the … [Read more...] about Lite Brix are light-up building bricks
HAPILABS presents the HAPIfork, with Bluetooth
There are some things that don't really need to be technolo-gized. Until yesterday, I thought that the fork was one of them. Clearly HAPILABS has proven me wrong. The HAPIfork is designed for three things: losing weight, reduce digestive problems, and decrease gastric reflux. In case you are wondering, it does not shock the user when he or she is eating too much. The … [Read more...] about HAPILABS presents the HAPIfork, with Bluetooth
FaceCake at ShowStoppers, CES 2013
Last night I attended a CES event known as ShowStoppers, and a lot of companies put their best foot forward for the press. One of them had a strange name called FaceCake, and I wasn't certain if it was a tech company or a desert. I was definitely glad I stopped by, as FaceCake makes some seriously cool augmented retail. This is what the company calls their process, and … [Read more...] about FaceCake at ShowStoppers, CES 2013
Hands on with the iVideoStick at CES 2013
What you are seeing here is a shot I took at CES 2013. I thought that something like this might give you an idea of what the show is like, and how all these tables and booths are packed so closely together. Now, how did I get such an overhead view? I have the iVideoStick to thank for that, which you can see below. The iVideoStick is quite a cool invention, and its … [Read more...] about Hands on with the iVideoStick at CES 2013
Targus announces the Touch Pen for Windows 8
Some products really catch your attention because they solve an important issue. Windows 8 is optimized for a touchscreen, but not all computers have touchscreens. Fortunately, Targus has created the Touch Pen, which is able to make any Windows 8 laptop a touchscreen. It is a device that fits on the side of a laptop, and a swipe of the pen is able to bring up the Windows … [Read more...] about Targus announces the Touch Pen for Windows 8
Blue Microphones unveils the Nessie at CES 2013
I am always interested in seeing what kind of products that Blue Microphones rolls out, and so I am always checking out their booth at CES. Last night at Showstoppers, I had a chance to see their new product, the Nessie, in person. The Nessie has a USB cord that is good for the PC and Mac users, but it can be set up for mobile recording on the iPad as well. It uses a … [Read more...] about Blue Microphones unveils the Nessie at CES 2013
With Liquipel, your gadget is safe from water
While I was at Pepcom, the Digital Experience at CES 2013 last night, I had a chance to see another way to protect a mobile device from water damage. Now, I have seen many ways of doing this, and most of them involved putting in a tight plastic bag. Liquipel is not that, but it uses nanotechnology protection. I don't know how familiar you are with nanotechnology, but it … [Read more...] about With Liquipel, your gadget is safe from water
UrbanHello, the “first smart home phone”
Most people have killed their landline phones, but UrbanHello showed off the newly designed home phone at CES Unveiled. The UrbanHello is essentially a landline phone, but it can be used for telephony as well. I asked them, and it apparently isn't designed to link to a phone via Bluetooth, at least not yet. You may notice that the UrbanHello has a stereo speaker on … [Read more...] about UrbanHello, the “first smart home phone”
Griffin Technology unveils Crayola Light Marker for the iPad, screen contact not required
I think we all know that Crayola has cornered the market as far as anything crayon-related is concerned, and Griffin Technology has figured out a way of making it even cooler. Imagine a pen that you can use on the iPad. That isn't difficult, as there are many on the market right now. Now imagine that a young hand can take that pen and not even make contact with the iPad … [Read more...] about Griffin Technology unveils Crayola Light Marker for the iPad, screen contact not required
Goal Zero unveils the Yeti 150
If you haven't heard of Goal Zero before, then please do not assume that they are an organization that wants to achieve nothing. On the contrary, Goal Zero is the largest manufacturer of portable solar products, and they want to again rock our world with a new product, the Yeti 150. The Yeti 150 is a 12 pound plug-and-play generator made for emergencies, or camping. It … [Read more...] about Goal Zero unveils the Yeti 150
Casio brings the future of Digital Signage
While attending CES, I decided on a whim to attend Casio's Press Conference. Unlike Samsung's meeting, there was actually room for seating. (More on Samsung later.) I am so glad that I attended Casio's presentation. I'm sure that you are familiar with Casio, as the Japanese company had made a lot of cool products that have really revolutionized technology as we know it. … [Read more...] about Casio brings the future of Digital Signage
VOXX International Soundflow Wireless Audio
In coming to CES 2013, it seems like everyone and their dog has the latest of the latest. Oftentimes, it is the simplest of ideas that really capture my attention. Such was the case when I went to the VOXX International Press Conference this morning and saw a very interesting product known as the Soundflow. The Soundflow is essentially a clock-radio, which is essentially … [Read more...] about VOXX International Soundflow Wireless Audio
