3D Camera

Alright I found this just recently, since everyone seems to have been grasped by the "Avatar" movie in 3D and other movies such as "Clash of the Titans" and "how to train your Dragon", the question was not far off. When will the average Joe be able to film something in 3D?!

It's not a trade that we'd ever willingly make -- dropping to standard definition for the sake of some 3D shenanigans, but DXG is offering you the choice anyway. The budget cam maker has just announced its 3D View stereoscopic shooter, which interestingly comes with a separate 7-inch LCD display (800 x 480 resolution) for playing back your recorded footage without requiring glasses -- thanks to some parallax barrier magic. We might be tempted to spend the $400 this package costs just to get a preview of what the Nintendo 3DS -- based on the same spectacle-free technique -- might look like, but retail availability isn't expected until June, which is just that tiny bit too far out for our limited attention span.

Mosquito EXTERMINATOR

Mosquito laser gun offers new hope on malaria!

American scientists are making a ray gun to kill mosquitoes. Using technology developed under the Star Wars anti-missile programme, the zapper is being built in Seattle where astrophysicists have created a laser that locks onto airborne insects.

Scientists have speculated for years that lasers might be used against mosquitoes, which kill nearly 1m people a year through malaria.

The laser a (WMD) weapon of mosquito destruction – has been designed with the help of Lowell Wood, one of the astrophysicists who worked on the original Star Wars plan to shield America from nuclear attack.

“We like to think back then we made some contribution to the ending of the cold war,” Dr Jordin Kare, another astrophysicist, told The Wall Street Journal. “Now we’re just trying to make a dent in a war that’s claimed a lot more lives.” The WMD laser works by detecting the audio frequency created by the beating of mosquito wings. A computer triggers the laser beam, the mosquito’s wings are burnt off and its smoking carcass falls to the ground. The research is backed by Bill Gates, the Microsoft billionaire.

Rolly by Sony - Make your Music Move!

As a Special Easter Edition, let's have a look at the latest Tech-Egg, The Rolly. The Rolly is an egg-shaped digital robotic music player made by Sony, combining music functions with robotic dancing. It has several motors that allow it to rotate and spin, as well as two bands of LED lights running around its edge and cup-like "wings" (or "arms" according to the Sony sonystyle USA website) which can open and close on either end, all of which could be synchronized to the music being played. Sound-sensitivity components detect beat, rhythm, voice and pitch, which could be used to have the device automatically react to music. It also has a G force sensor (accelerometer) which detects if the player is moving up or down. The track control is always on top and the volume control is always on the bottom. Preprogrammed movements along with music can be downloaded from personal computers using Bluetooth, having been composed on the computer or obtained from Sony's repository of user-made movement schemes. It has 2 gigabytes of flash memory to store music files. The product was unveiled on September 20, 2007, and went on sale in Japan on September 29, and was for sale at the Sony sonystyle USA website for $229.99 USD, down from $399.99 USD. It is available in black and white. Sony offers the "Engrave it." option for this item, and a number of accessories, including "arms" in different colors.

Closer to your music Rolly™ is a new dimension in MP3 players that brings you closer to your favourite music. Shake it and twist it to choose your tracks.
