self-driving baby stroller

self-driving baby stroller

Baby strollers haven’t changed much since their inception and pushing them around for a long time can be tiring at times. Keeping this in mind, an Indiegogo project wants to end all the pushing and pulling of baby strollers and turn them into self-propelling ones. This is Smartbe Intelligent Stroller developed by a New York startup that is right in the category of self-driving wheels. The stroller is driven by an electric motor which drives it equally well in sloping roads and gives the caretaker a breather.

Smartbe Stroller is embedded with in-built sensors which help keep a constant safe distance between the caregiver and the stroller itself. That means you can go hand-free for other tasks like carrying groceries or jogging to keep fit. Unlike any other normal baby stroller this one comes with a bottle warmer, automatic rocker, temperature controlled bassinet and music player to keep your baby comfortable in his temporary haven.

Keeping safety in mind, the stroller comes with a physical stop cord that is similar to the ones found in treadmills. There is a night light mode which signals the stroller’s location to avoid any confusion in the dark. The stroller has internal and external cameras to monitor the resting baby without disturbing.

To prevent any chances of theft, the stroller’s wheels can only be unlocked by the authorized personnel and sends alert when the stroller is moved. On one charge the stroller goes for 5-6 hours and you can charge your gadgets too with it.

The self-propelling version will cost a hefty $2,750 and the ones with no such feature will cost from $399-$1,099. That is quite a lot to ask for in a stroller and I wonder how many people will be willing to pay that much money.

Smart bag revew

Smart bag revew

Given the amazingly fascinating things technology is making available for us, it was just about time someone thought of innovating the suitcase. And just when a Bluesmart hit Indiegogo with a suitcase it claims is the “world’s first smart, connected carry-on”, the result was that the Bluesmart suitcase reached its $50,000 in just two hours and one minute. The smart bag comes with a host of features at a price tag of $235 ($195 for early birds).

The suitcase includes a GPS tracker, so that you can keep a track of where your luggage is. Perhaps, Bluesmart bag is not the first to integrate GPS, but what sets this apart from the other tech-embedded bags is that this connects to a mobile app and lets you keep track of your bag. Further, it allow the Bluesmart to be locked and unlocked digitally and let users have information of track routes and travel data.

Interestingly, the connected carry-on has a built-in battery, which provides enough power to juice up six mobile devices on the go. The suitcase also has a scale built-in, which tells you how much weight you’re carrying just by lifting the bag off the ground. The creators have a functional prototype of the Bluesmart suit case ready and they expect to ship the first smart bag by mid-2015.

PS VITA review

PS VITA review

The PS Vita is the most powerful, dazzling and impressive handheld games console ever built.

It packs not one but two quad-core processors, a sparkling 5-inch touchscreen OLED display, dual analogue stick controls and games that go way beyond what any other portable device is currently capable of.

That includes the Nintendo 3DS, which may wield 3D optics as its trump card, but nonetheless simply cannot compete with the Vita in terms of graphical fidelity. What the PlayStation Vita offers is more akin to a home console experience on the move, and that puts it in an elite class of one.

Of course, whether or not there is a big market for such a device is an interesting question, and we're in the process of getting some early answers. A sluggish start in Japan has been followed by some less-than-stellar sales figures in the first weeks of its International launch. It doesn't come as much of a surprise.

After all, it's a luxury item launching post-Christmas into a Western world ravaged by financial floundering, and further hindered by Sony's desperate need to make money at a time when the strength of the Yen makes exported Japanese products very expensive.

But we'll get to that a little later, and as far as this PlayStation Vita review goes, we're looking at the product as a stand alone piece of hardware, how it stacks up against the competition and whether or not it offers value for money.

The basics

In many ways, despite the new name, the PlayStation Vita is another revision of the Sony PSP legacy with plenty of much needed evolution on top.

The same basic form factor returns and it doesn't look too different from its predecessors. But this is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A beast among men. A veritable fire-breathing monster compared to those long-dead PSPs in the sky.

vrAse review

vrAse review

vrAse is the biggest revolution your Smartphone has ever seen; a very special case, which enables you to use it like never imagined before.

Smartphones

You can use vrAse with any smartphone via two options; using “perfect-fit” cases, for the six best seller Smartphones from last year, or if your phone is not in that list, you will be able to choose the universal adaptor, adaptable to any smartphone with screens from 3’5″ up to 6’3″. Please remember that vrAse is best experienced with smartphones that have screens ranging from 5″ up to 6″.

iPhones

This means vrAse should work with all iPhones! But, at the moment of writing this, there is only a perfect fit adapter for the iPhone 5/5s.

vrAse

vrAse is made of three distinctive interchangeable parts: a mobile adapter, a frame and a set of lenses.
I think this is a good concept because it will work (like the VR ONE ) with multiple phones and most of them will have a perfect fit.
The lenses are interchangeable, tested by an ophthalmologist and have glare reduction.
The Design is pretty nice. It looks High-tech and professional. There are two colors available: black and white.

Sony Xperia Z5 review

Sony Xperia Z5 review: A decent phone overshadowed by the competition

Summary

Sony’s Xperia Z5 is a mobile photographer's dream with a breathtaking camera and great display. However, you’re likely to be turned offby the underwhelming battery life. It’s a respectable choice, but other Android handsetsare even more compelling.

Pros

• One of the best smartphone cameras on the market
• Great performance
• Lovely screen

Cons

• Sony's design language is getting tired
• Underwhelming battery life
• Last year's version of Android

At the start of 2015, Sony effectively gave up on making smartphones in the hope of recapturing former glories. Its mobile division now loses the company nearly $2 million per day even after being slimmed down to a fraction of its former size. The few devices that it launches each year are merely placeholders; products designed to keep the company's hand in just in case the next next big thing requires mobile expertise. It's an unenviable position for Sony's employees, knowing that they're effectively operating in a vacuum. When faced with that truth, there are only three options available to them: give up, throw every mad idea at the wall, or build a grand valediction and go out on a high. This is the starting point from which we will begin our examination of the mid-range Xperia Z5.

GOOGLE GLASS 2.0

GOOGLE GLASS EXPLORER EDITION 2.0 REVIEW

Google Glass Explorer Edition 2.0 doubles the amount of RAM available on the original device, but there is no other hardware change. Google has also developed a companion app called MyGlass for Android and iPhone. Meanwhile developers have been busy creating a range of truly original apps for Google Glass. Google Glass is available in five different colours and the firm has introduced a range of frames for prescription lenses or to work as sunglasses (the frames cost £120 but a pair is included in the price, don’t forget to add it when you checkout). These frames open up Glass to those who need prescription glasses, but they may also help normalise what is effectively a head-mounted computer.

Google Glass is a unique device; there isn't much to compare it to on the technology market. You wear Glass as you would a pair of glasses, but it features an optical heads-up display that projects a display in front of your eyes. Interaction is by means of voice commands, accelerometer and gyroscope and a thin strip known as the “Touchpad” that runs alongside the right hand side of the frame. See also: Using Google Glass: 5 things we love, 5 things that need to get better (and probably will).

Glass shares some of its design DNA with smartphones: you can check email, post to social media, take photos and videos, search Google and download apps. But it is a radically different experience and is designed to sit alongside your smartphone, rather than replace it. Our Google Glass review discovers what it is like to own, and use Glass, in the UK on a regular basis.

360 degree camera

Some software quirks aside, LG's entry into the 360-degree video and photography world is a fun little way to show off everything that's going on around you.

A picture is worth a thousand words, the old cliche goes. And it's not wrong. There's something about a good photograph that brings out the seen and the unseen. That answers as much as it leaves up to the imagination. What's going on just outside the frame? What was happening just before the shutter snapped? What happened after? What was going on behind the camera?

Photography in 360 degrees is officially becoming a thing. And not just something photo geeks get to play with after spending thousands of dollars on rigs that look like fly eyes — but personal 360-degree recording devices.

We've had this sort of photography for a while now thanks to Google's "Photosphere" effort. You'd use your smartphone to take a serious of pictures, capturing as much of the world around you as you good before the phone would stitch it all together. (Pros can and still do stitch together shots from SLRs, but that almost seems like cheating.) But Photospheres are as tedious as they are fun.

A new wave of 360 cams is hitting this year, starting with two of the mobile manufacturers. LG is first out of the gate with the 360 CAM, and Samsung is coming later this summer with the Gear 360.

We've been using LG's 360 CAM for a week or so now. And this is our full review.

About this review :

Along with some other goodies, LG sent us this 360 CAM for review. It's not yet on sale in the U.S., but it is up for preorder at retailers like B&H for $199.

We've used 360 CAM with an LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7, Nexus 6P and with other phones — including the iPhone. And that's a big draw to this device. It doesn't just work with one phone. In fact, you don't even need a phone to get the basic experience.

this is a test of the camera :

hoverboard review

hoverboard review

If you haven’t been living under a rock lately, you have most likely seen these cool new toys that have become extremely popular with celebrities and everyday people alike – the self balancing scooter (or hoverboard). Everyone from Jimmy Fallon to Justin Bieber is riding them (although, it must be admitted that Chris Brown rides it best). Imagine a Segway without handles, and able to go at a speed around 8km/h – 20km/h (depending on the model) , and you have a picture of what we are talking about. It is lightweight, smart and easy to move. They are incredibly fun to ride, and take some time getting used to.

However, before you buy one, you need to know which is the best self balancing scooter to go for. There are numerous hoverboards on the market, and it can be hard to decide between them, especially as they haven’t even reached the streets everywhere yet. So how do you find one that suits your taste and your pocket? Sometimes the price is worth it, and sometimes it is just a small design improvement. We help you find the right one with our reviews and guides. Read on for pros and cons of the different hoverboards, and what sets one apart from the other.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A SELF-BALANCING SCOOTER?

It might look a lot of fun on celebrities’ Instagrams, but are these gadgets really for you? The answer is probably yes as the convenience and cost-effectiveness it offers is something that everyone can benefit from. If you still need reasons as to why a self-balancing scooter is a good buy, here are some of its major advantages.

RUNS ON BATTERIES:

There is no need to fill a tank or store gas. You just need batteries to run the scooter. Store up on some batteries and you have a virtually never-ending, never-stopping, fully dependable ride. As easy as that.

EASY TO NAVIGATE:

There is nothing complex in the way hoverboards are controlled. All you have to is lean forward when you want to accelerate, and lean back when you want it to stop. If you want to turn left or right, you just need to turn the right handlebar forward or backward. These simple instructions are all you need to know before you jump aboard your new ride.

LIGHT:

This is one of the most obvious advantages. The design of these two wheel scooters is such that it is not bulky or heavy. They have a light framework, which also allows you to carry them anywhere easily if you have to.

LOW MAINTENANCE:

Hoverboards do not require heavy maintenance. You just have to periodically check up on the batteries. Everything else is pretty much taken care of on its own.

PERFECT FOR URBAN LIVING:

Of course, you cannot forego your subway ride to the office or your two hour drive to the hospital with this scooter. But it is perfect for small errands like buying the groceries. It is apt for distances of five to ten kilometers, and can take a little extra load, so your trips to the supermarket just became a whole lot more fun.

ECO-FRIENDLY:

While you are making a good choice for yourself by choosing a two wheel scooter, you are also benefitting the environment. It is a win-win situation.
