Smoothee - A steadicam for your mobile..!

Share |

High quality video capturing is not only limited to some professional video cameras now a days. All today's mobile phones come with the same HQ video recording capabilities. So we are so excited by this, and buy one such mobile with such feature. After some time, we get so frustrated by it because its SHAKY as hell..!! When you try to shoot your dog playing, the video shot, will have everything except the dog..:p All those videos shot by our phones, looks just like those pirated movies which some assholes film it in a movie theater...!

So the answer to all those frustrated minds is ( answer is not to buy an original video camera..:p ) 'Smoothee'.


What is it..??

Its a steadicam for our mobiles. The reason why the video shot on mobiles is shaky is that the mobiles are too light and cant get a steady support. That's what 'Smoothee' do. It fills in what's missing, 'A steady support'.

As you can see in the pic,

• The mobiles are mounted on the top.
  
• The curved arm provides the balance in weight.
  
• The holder is a pistol kind of a grip, attached below the mobile mounted surface.
• Knobs are provided to move the mobile over the surface in the directions, left-right or front-back in order to balance its weight perfectly over the Smoothee.
• Smoothee currently supports iPhone 3GS and 4, iPod touch and FLIP Mino HD. But the Smoothees for other handsets are also being developed.
• The cost of smoothee is $200.

The entire below video has been shot on a mobile using Smoothee...!!

Rolltop - A futuristic laptop

Share |

When we talk about technology and bringing something 'new', that 'new' should be,

• simpler and smaller than the 'old' one.
• more efficient than the 'old' one.
  
• The 'new' one should be able to serve more of our needs in a more better ways.

So there are many concepts of those' new' things, but not all have the features mentioned above.
Now, you are definitely know that what am going to tell you and that concept has all those features..:)

You are absolutely right..!! Its called 'Rolltop'...
Germany's Orkin Design has proposed this fantastic concept of a futuristic laptop. The rolltop is a 'rolled up' laptop. By using the flexible OLED and touchscreen technologies, the created concept is a cylindrical laptop which can be rolled out when need sto be used and can be rolled up again when not used.

Since I said, it has all those features to make itself 'better'.... they are...

• As you know, laptop is portable. But rolltop is ultra-portable..!
• For a laptop, you need a laptop bag. But rolltop fits in whatever bag you have.
• All those charges n wires which makes you sick, is not needed with rolltop..! All those are integrated in the central cylindrical system of rolltop. It has speakers, usb ports, lan port and a camera.
• The top of the column detaches and acts as a power plug while the carry strap doubles as a power cord
• When rolled up, Rolltop will be 11 inches (28 cm) long and have a 3.26-inch (8.3-cm) diameter

There are many of such features..... But I just don't like to type those ..:p Also am damn sure not many have read whatever written their and think all those as bullshit..!! All will look for some video or pics....So lets cup the crap n watch the video..:)

One - Touch Disaster alert app

Share |

'Earthquake, Tsunami and nuclear crisis' ....what a combination...!! Japan is experiencing the most horrific, darkest nightmare ever possible. In such disasters, rescuing people is a very challenging task, when they don't know where exactly the person is trapped under that enormous rubble.


So with an intention of helping people under such situation, researchers from Tiwan have released a new mobile app called Mobile Savior.

The app can transmit the location of users trapped under the rubble, to any number of people with one single touch...! The app sends out the latitude and longitude co-ordinates of the people stranded in the disaster areas.

The mind behind the app, Liang Chih-hsiung, assistant professor of multimedia and gaming development at Lunghwa University of Science and Technology says that "This project was my idea, because Taiwan has experienced earthquakes and mudslides where we can't find people, With one touch, location data can get out, and maybe that would save your life. If you were crushed but still alive, someone can still find you."

The new app is available for download for $2.99 in English, Chinese or Japanese.

Telepathy is not science fiction ...!

Share |

Telepathy ( communicating with our thoughts ) is indeed a dream technology. Whenever I saw those magic shows where the magician lifts a person or things with his mind, I used to think, it would be so cool if those were real and not illusions. But we humans are so intelligent, that we are making everything possible which was once impossible.

Personally, am a big fan of TED. Just watch the demo of this brilliant technology in the TED video below, and you will understand everything you need to know about this brain computer interface technology.
