I have to admit that this particular WiTrack, a 3D motion sensor for tracking a person inside a house. I suppose it can describe as a Kinect for a whole house, and I like that. The WiTrack uses a 3D motion sensor that uses radio waves instead of Wi-Fi, and the tracking has a lower latency that can track the motions in 3D from all over the house. This allows it to see … [Read more...] about WiTrack is the ultimate in smarthomes
Divoom Bluetune Bean
I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers, and I remember there was a while where I was reviewing one either every day or week. I have reviewed the Bluetune Solo before from Divoom, and I admire the Bluetune Bean. The Bean is a pocket sized speaker that has a clip on design thanks to the metal carabineer belt loop, that is presumably for a belt buckle. It can connect … [Read more...] about Divoom Bluetune Bean
Prepare for the Valkyrie robot!
It really is hard to believe that we have a robot in space, the Robonaut. I have no idea how well this robot is doing its job, but this particular robot, a product of DARPA Robotics Challenge, has created the Valkyrie. Now I have to say that the Valkyrie is the super robot, as the video above introduces. It does feel like a robot pulled from a science fiction book or … [Read more...] about Prepare for the Valkyrie robot!
Armpocket i-35 Armband
I have reviewed Armpocket products before, like when I reviewed the Nighthawk. They are designed to fit on the arm with a strap. I finally got a chance to try out the i-35, and this is because I finally had a chance to try out the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. (More on that later.) The i-35 is designed for the larger phones, like the amazing popular Galaxy S4. The reason why I … [Read more...] about Armpocket i-35 Armband
Swann Quad Starship
Well, I seem to have two things that attract me to this subject matter. First, it is from Swann, and I have had the opportunity to review two of their products very recent. The first was the SwannEye HD and the Doorphone Video Intercom. Then there was announcement that Amazon made the other day that drones could be delivering your stuff. Swann has made this Quad Starship … [Read more...] about Swann Quad Starship
Olloclip Macro 3-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S
I have been reviewing a lot of Olloclip, and when I heard about the 3-IN-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S, I thought I had reviewed it before. Nope, it was the 4-in-1 Lens. This Macro 3-IN-1 is one of those the clip on the corner of the camera lens type of accessories for the iPhone 5, and thus the iPhone 5/S. Like most of their products, it is made by anodized aircraft … [Read more...] about Olloclip Macro 3-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S
Knightscope robots are the first generation of robot crime-busters
There is a company known as Knightscope which is doing something that no one has ever done before, at least in science-fiction. Yes, they are working on autonomous data machines that will be robot watchmen, apparently. These K5 and K10 robots have sensor suites that can see in the dark, recognize weapons and faces, and they can record audio. That sounds pretty simple, … [Read more...] about Knightscope robots are the first generation of robot crime-busters
Able Planet NC550BC Sound Clarity Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
I have to say that I am pretty familiar with Able Planet's products, and I enjoy their headphones. They have this thing called LINX AUDIO technology, and I honestly don't know what that is, but I am assuming that it makes them sound so good. Yeah, I enjoy Able Planet products and I really hope they get the sales they deserve. I don't know who leads the headphone market, … [Read more...] about Able Planet NC550BC Sound Clarity Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I will have to admit that while I was impressed by last year's big Spring movie surprise, The Hunger Games, but not too surprised. I enjoyed the book, and so I was pleased that the sequel based on its book is better than the movie based on its original book. Man, that was more than a little confusing. Why do we use the same thing for different mediums? I was not excited to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The Kensington KeyFolio Pro for the iPad Air
I will have to admit, I had several problems when I opened up the KeyFolio Pro for the iPad Air. Now keep in mind, this is going to be a positive review, and I just want to get all the negative things out of the way first because there isn't many compared to the positives. I will start with my problems getting it to pair. The problem was the on switch was deeply embedded on … [Read more...] about The Kensington KeyFolio Pro for the iPad Air
SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One Network Camera
It seems I have had a second chance to try a Swann product this week, the first being the Doorphone Video Intercom. The SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One IP Network Camera, or SWADS-445CAM, is very reminiscent of the Dropcam Pro that I reviewed not too many days ago. In other words, it is an Internet security camera that you put in place so you can occasionally watch … [Read more...] about SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One Network Camera
Kensington Virtuoso Stylus and Pen for Tablets
It is pretty clear that we are in an era where we need something to draw on our screen just as much as we might need a pen, and this is why I am glad there are products like the Virtuoso from Kensington. Kensington is a company that I like a lot, and they have a lot of very decent products. The Virtuoso is both a Stylus for the tablet and a traditional ink pen. The … [Read more...] about Kensington Virtuoso Stylus and Pen for Tablets
Will NASA grow plants on the moon by 2015?
I used to think that a lot of things were impossible, but now I see what an age of science-fiction that we are living in. If Amazon wants to use drones to deliver our packages, then I suppose NASA growing plants on the moon is also somewhat believable. I don't know if I reported on this or not, but apparently someone has planned a trip to the moon via robotic probe. I … [Read more...] about Will NASA grow plants on the moon by 2015?
DODOcase Endangered Species case is one great gourmet iPad case
I have to admit that I have seen a lot of iPad cases in my years of tech writing. Most of them are the typical Folio covers, and usually the best that I get is leather. This was before I saw the DODOcase. DODOcase really puts out some high quality products for all kinds of devices like smartphones, e-readers, and tablets. I had the awesome chance to try out the DODOcase … [Read more...] about DODOcase Endangered Species case is one great gourmet iPad case
Mobiliant is a car that can literally climb walls
Every year, the L.A. Auto Show loves to show off some pretty awesome vehicles, and a lot of them are concept. Most of these concept cars never see the light of a mass-manufacturing, made simply because it can be made. This is the Mobiliant, which is a winning design by China's SAIC. It has the ability to literally drive up the wall. Oh yeah. I am seriously having … [Read more...] about Mobiliant is a car that can literally climb walls
