Amazing technology that can not be bought yet: Balls 4K camera, optics pro for your phone
A smartphone or GoPro are suitable for taking videos and photos forms, but they have their limitations. The glow of the screen, poor audio, limited in low light, a few choices of lenses, poor stability, performance and the constant need to use both hands make it difficult to get professional shots. For this reason, Canadian upstart IndieVice proposed to create a single device that would replace all old equipment and maximize the potential of the smartphone in your pocket. Device of the same company name is a revolutionary new approach to record professional videos and photos with the smart phone or GoPro.
IndieVice can accommodate any size and shape of the phone. It sports a universal adapter smartphones, which apparently can fit all models of iPhone (including 6+) and smartphones of Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, HTC and Sony. Once the phone is cut, you can attach a myriad of different lenses, flashes, mangos and other peripheral camera. The system essentially uses the phone as the brain, and provides all the other parts of the camera. Pretty clever, huh?
Additive manufacturing - also known as 3D printing - get all the attention these days. But despite the feverish pace at which technology advances, traditional manufacturing processes still have certain advantages - namely, the ability to work with materials other than plastic. They are coming along, but 3D printers that print beyond anything PLA or ABS are ridiculously expensive at the moment, so if you want to do some metal or wood, it is best to go with a traditional CNC mill. NC pocket is basically a miniature version of the mills would find in a store full of the machine, but with a much simpler interface, a factor much more compact and 5 different axes of motion.
Software controls, simplified thanks to uber-Pocket NC essentially combines the simplicity of 3D printing with accuracy, speed and versatility of a CNC mill. You can move its raw material along five different axes, and sports a series of interchangeable tools, so you can make parts that would otherwise require several machines. At about $ 3,500, which is certainly a little more expensive than 3D printers even more high end, but if your desktop manufacturing has to go beyond simple plastic parts, this might be worth looking at.
3D printing pens are nothing new at this point, but 3DSimo Mini is more than that. Besides thermoplastic jets out to create beautiful sculptures and drawings freehand 3D, you can also burn wood designs, clean cut foam, and even welding metal. It is the ultimate tool of the creator, and that fits in the palm as a carpenter's pencil strangely. Oddly enough, it is actually the second generation model, and as expected, is also much smaller than its predecessor, 3DSimo, which could only work with plastics.
Besides being less than half the size of the original, the 3DSimo Mini has changeable tips and is much more versatile. A tip wood burning, welding and other metal, plastic or shear melt through the foam - like a Dremel tool with a hot finish. The first 3DSimo wore a small screen and a series of buttons on the side for adjusting the temperature. It also had a fan. But in the interest of slimming down the device, the creators of the fan took pen and display. Now, there are only a few buttons on the device for the flow of materials. With the support of Bluetooth in the Mini, a mobile application gives you control over the temperature and speed so you can work with different materials to create specific types of projects.
There is something fascinating about seeing a turn around vinyl record on a turntable, but unfortunately the vast majority of disc players rotate horizontally, and are not really designed for easy viewing. If you took the average jukebox and laid on its side, you'd end up with all kinds of problems. For starters, you'd have a hell of a time, keeping track of fall, and arm probably will not go where you want, so it will not play songs correctly.
"Floating Record" of Gramovox solves these problems with a few simple innovations. Besides a clamp securing their albums in place vertically, carbon fiber arm player uses a small font to apply the force that keeps you in touch with the disk surface. According to the Kickstarter page for the company, the arm is balanced player also precisely to avoid bias and head for the center of your registration. Moreover, the floating Registration does not require cartridge configuration or any additional external equipment such as phono preamplifiers, amplifiers or speakers. All you need is incorporated directly into the design of the player.
Now we have all these crazy VR headset floating around, ready to help us experience fully immersive videos rad, we have a content divide. Even the cameras most wide angle in the market at the moment only have a field of view is about 170 degrees or so - which is not exactly ideal for all-around crazy shoot-to video content . What we need we are 360 degree video cameras - a bit like that Google straps on top of their cars to Street View; simply smaller and easier to use.
Fortunately, there are a handful of 360-degree cameras on the market right now, and more are appearing with each passing week. Sphericam 2 is the last entry in this burgeoning category, and also happens to boast some of the most impressive features of shot we've seen. Unlike some of its competitors low resolution, this badboy 360 video shoot in 4K, at 60 frames per second. This is captured by six different lens, and stitched together with the accompanying software for Sphericam. It also captures audio (with 4 microphones) and can go straight to video Oculus Rift.
