A student named Markus Kayser created an awesome project for a MA Design Products project. I hope he graduates with honors simply for the coolness of this project. Kayser created a device that can take advantage of the two unlimited resources out in the desert - sun and sand.

HTC EVO 3D hits Europe in July
HTC has officially launched the HTC EVO 3D in Europe, with the 3D Android smartphone – which we reviewed in US form earlier this month – set to go on sale with HSPA+ GSM connectivity from July. The EVO 3D has a 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D display running at the same qHD 960 x 540 resolution as the HTC Sensation, along with a dual 5-megapixel camera array that can shoot stills and both 2D and 3D video at up to 720p HD resolution.
Lytro light field camera promises shoot now, focus later
Light Field Photography may not sound like much, but if new camera company Lytro can pull it off, it may well be next big buzzword after HDR. Promising to do away with pre-photography focusing and frustrating delays between powering your camera on and taking a photo, Lytro’s camera doesn’t just grab a normal frame but records the “light field” – the amount of light traveling in every direction through every point in space – then uses that directional information to allow viewers to shift the point of focus in the subsequent images, shift the perspective, and even flick between 2D and 3D. See a demo after the cut.

I can see why everyone fell in love with the original EVO and why its still selling like hot cakes, it is a sweet phone. Will the new HTC EVO 3D live up to the same fame — can it be everything and more? Read on to find out.
