SENSORWAKE ALARM CLOCK:
Waking up to the smell of
coffee or chocolate tantalisingly
close is a way to wake up. What
is better than to setting this as
your alarm? The new
Sensorwake Alarm does
precisely that. Instead of
emitting a shrill sound, it gently
wakes you from slumber by
diffusing scents. It comes with
15 scents, including money and
mint. A catridge, of your desired
scent, similar to air freshners is
placed in the slot available at
the top of the clock and diffuses
the scent for 3 whole minutes
when your alarm goes off. The
catridges are fit for 30 uses
before they run out. The good
news is, they are 100%
recyclable. Although, if after 3
minutes, you still haven’t
turned it off, it starts emitting
the irritating, hair-pulling noise
you wished you didn’t hear.
SMART RING :
Not everyone is thrilled about
the idea of wearing a smart
watch. If you're still enamored
with the idea of notifications,
maybe a smart ring would be
more your style. The Mota
smart ring shrinks phone
notifications down to fit on
your finger. The ring is
currently geared for phone,
text, and email notifications,
though Mota expects it will
eventually accommodate
notices from social networks
as well. The battery standby
time is expected to be
between 24 and 72 hours,
depending on usage.Unlike
smart watches, which
typically run in the $200 to
$300 range, the Mota is going
for a $75 to $100 price range.
LG ROLLABLE OLED
DISPLAY:
A display we can roll up like
a newspaper? Yes please!
LG has recently come into
the light at this year’s
Consumer Electronics
Show(CES) with its 18-inch
OLED display that feels like
plastic and rolls as easily as
a poster. Although still a
prototype, the company
has high hopes to make it
beyond the 18 inches and
into the consumer world as
TVs we could roll up, stuff
in our backpacks and carry
anywhere! It surely is
wonderful times we’re
living in.
VIRTUAL REALITY AND 360 DEGREE CAMERA: Virtual reality is finally here..
That means 360-degree videos are also on the rise. With a wide variety of
headsets entering the space, everyone's going to want a wide variety of
content. That's where 360-degree cameras come in. 360-degree cameras
capture completely panoramic images and videos.The cameras may consist of
multiple lenses or a single lens. Multi-lens cameras capture footage that has
to later be stitched together and that may produce stitching artifacts. Singlelens cameras don't, but are limited in how much footage they can capture
vertically. Multi-lens don't have this limitation and can go as far as capturing
completely spherical footage.
