Remote-controlled whiteboard hack

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Apr 29th 2008 No Comments

A remotely-controlled whiteboard is one of those hacks that seem vaguely pointless at first but, as you think about them, you start coming up with plenty of uses. Leaving messages or reminders for people at home or in other offices, perhaps, or teleworking with distant colleagues. After watching Jeroen Domburg’s video of his hacked whiteboard in action – that uses a webcam and the mangled entrails of an old scanner to accomplish remote sight and local control, respectively – I’ve decided that my life isn’t complete without one.

LucidTouch – now your other fingers get to do something too!

By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Mar 13th 2008 No Comments

LucidTouch is an interesting concept that just seems like it would have a pass or fail type of learning spike. Essentially you get the touchscreen on the front you are used to, the one you use your thumbs on, and then via either a rear mounted camera or some other sort of touch sensor, your other fingers get to help out from the back.

Boynq Alibi Review – Cute and Fun Webcam-Speaker Combo

By Chris Davies and Satsuki Then on Saturday, Mar 1st 2008 1 Comment

When they can fit a webcam into a milimeter-depth notch in a laptop’s screen bezel, a manufacturer would have to be offering something pretty impressive to sell one standing eight inches tall on your desktop. But Boynq are positioning their Alibi unit as something more interesting than a simple way to video chat with your parents; it may be a 1.3-megapixel webcam with integrated speakers and microphone, but what you’re really paying for is the design. Like some monstrous limb cinched in with the brushed-finish silver volume band, the Alibi’s selling point is its pop-up, twist & rotate camera. SlashGear braved vague and unsettling memories of War of the Worlds and put the Alibi through its very purple paces.

Ping Pong Webcam from Brando

By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Feb 21st 2008 No Comments

This gadget single-handedly makes me weep for the human race. Yes, I saw Balls of Fury, yes it was absolutely hilarious, but I think a ping pong webcam is just too, too far.
