The Headphones that Captured All

February 25th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

Hey so I know you want to capture everything that you experience. Wait you don’t? Then don’t read this. You’ll get all mad probably. This is a concept design about a set of wireless headphones that also have a 10.1 megapixel digi-cam on one side and a digital image projector on the side. You can capture your world all the time and put that stuff on the internet right away. Instantly.

Here’s basically the manifesto of this project: Support the act of exploration by giving people better tools. Deepen image’s meaning by supoprting as much information as possible. Bring people together by enabling individuals to express themselves.

There’s all kinds of wireless going on with this project. It’s got P2P, automatic backup into your computer, and instant wireless uploading to the internets. And! And! With the projector, you can project as you record. How useless is that? Not at all. I need people to know what they look like.

*Don’t forget to look at that really, just, good looking, guy at the bottom of this post.

**Lookin good, guy.

Review of the latest Nikon patent applications

February 19th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

Those are the latest and most interesting patent applications filed by Nikon:

AF S DX NIKKOR 18 135mm F3.5 5.6G ED VR Review of the latest Nikon patent applications

My guess is that this will be the new kit lens for the upcoming Nikon D90 replacement (the D90 kit currently ships with the 18-105 lens).

  • Patent application 20100013977 is for a picture in picture live view display for better focus and exposure control (the patent contains a drawing of a p&s camera, not sure if it is intended for DSLR):

“A subject tracking technology originated in Patent Document 1 is considered to perform focus adjustment and a control of exposure conditions while keeping a user intended composition when a subject with relatively large motion (person, animal, vehicle, or the like) is photographed by a camera. In the subject tracking technology, a main subject is tracked automatically, and the focus adjustment and the control of the exposure conditions are performed centering on the main subject.”

More after the break:

“An electronic camera is capable of recording image, voice, text, line-drawn information and the like. A release switch in the electronic camera is operated to photograph a subject image. When recording voice with the electronic camera, shutter sound effects are not output with the recorded voice. Further, the photographic operation can be indicated to the user by lighting a light-emitting diode in a finder when the release switch is operated.”

  • 20100008574 patent application is for improved noise reduction but understanding the details is above my pay level.

Please note that patent applications are not guarantee for future products.

Kodak EasyShare M381 review

January 30th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

The 12.4-megapixel EasyShare M381 ultra-compact camera doesn’t offer as many features as most other snappers in its price range, but its simplicity is part of its appeal. With a 5x zoom and a good auto mode, it’s a decent choice for casual snapshooters on a budget

Kodak EasyShare Z950 review

January 30th, 2010 Techno Wizkid No comments

The 12.2-megapixel EasyShare Z950 with 10x zoom is a thoroughly respectable superzoom camera that, refreshingly, dispenses with the gimmickry seen in many competitors of late. It can be slow to shoot immediately consecutive photos, but its image quality is very good for its class
