ZANO IS A NANO DRONE THAT IS ABLE TO FLY AUTONOMOUSLY!

11/30/2014

Comments

 
Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 30, 2014
The word 'drone' has very negative connotations due to their continued use by the military to carry out reconnaissance and air strikes but it's important to remember that many technologies that we take for granted today were also developed by the military. One of many examples is GPS (Global Positions System) that was originally developed as a reliable way to guide missiles to their intended target.

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SPARK CORE

11/30/2014

Comments

 
Guest Post By Harry Fielder on Nov 27, 2014
As a web developer and general tech enthusiast, I felt it was about time I dipped my toe into the exciting and rapidly growing area of the ‘Internet of Things’. I am a relative newbie to hardware hacking, so my aim is not to offer a deep dive review, but instead simply alleviate any concerns you may have about rolling up your sleeves and giving the Spark Core a go.

The German startup behind this well-connected device, that looks like a chocolate bar, is Relayr.

PREPARE FOR THE SECOND WAVE OF FITNESS TRACKERS

11/27/2014

Comments

 
Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 27, 2014
There are well over a hundred fitness trackers on the market that monitor activity based on movement, and in some cases heartbeat. The problem is that keeping track of exercise, and its effect on the body, is a very complex process. As a gimmick, fitness trackers work just fine, but to be genuinely valuable, particularly to medical professionals, accuracy needs to be improved. Perhaps this is why over 50% of consumers in the States have ditched their trackers, myself included.

Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 27, 2014
It appears that adding an e-acute to the name of a smartwatch and designing it to look like a conventional watch is becoming all the rage. If you are in the market for a new smartwatch that has a little je ne sais quoi we recommend, in addition to checking out the Withings Activité, you also take a peek at the Névo.

"The Cube" by London-based Emoshape has created an Artificially Intelligent (AI) 'emotionally aware' home console called Emospark that appears to 'read' human emotion in order to make the human operator feel better.

If you're a serious watch collector or aficionado of quality timepieces, chances are you would have been turned off by the design of the first batch of smart watches. This is because most look rather geeky and many are constructed with low-cost materials.

THE THINGSEE IS AN IOT DEVELOPER'S DREAM

11/20/2014

Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 20, 2014
The Scandinavians have always had a flare for good design. Just look at their passports for goodness sake - they're gorgeous! Two of the most noteworthy are Norway and Finland. We think there is a good chance that Finland could become a global hub for IOT startups. This is because since Nokia quit being a mobile OEM (leading to wide-scale redundancies), quite a few talented individuals have decided to move into the IOT space to design connected devices.

For example, you can increase or decrease the volume, or answer/reject calls while out running with a simple clap or swipe motion. It also offers notifications, sleep monitoring and workout reminders.

FLIC IS A WIRELESS SMART BUTTON

11/19/2014

Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 19, 2014
The Flic is a "hot button" that can perform all manner of tasks, limited only by the user's imagination. The company's rather entertaining Indiegogo video provides many examples of how the hot button could be used. The Scandinavians are well known for taking a no-frills, no-nonsense approach to product design. Perhaps this is why the Flic is so elegant and simple to use - the team are from Sweden (another example of a wonderfully elegant connected device, in this case from Finland, is Thingsee by Haltian).

Last year (2013) Google announced Project Loon, the brainchild of Google’s secret lab (GoogleX) that works on “moonshot projects". According to Google, (see video below) two out of three people (that's 5-6bn) on the planet don’t have Internet access. 
Google's aim is to built a network of solar powered balloons that are carried 20kms up by the wind at altitudes twice as high as commercial aircraft. Populations below will be able to access the Internet at 3G speeds or faster. Testing is going on in New Zealand and Australia.

Well it all sounds too good to be true! According to the Sonic Decanter's creator, this device can turn water into wine! Actually no, that really would be too good to be true!

A SMART METER THAT MONITORS PROPANE TANKs

Posted By Simon Montford on Nov 18, 2014
If you use propane to heat your home there is nothing worse than suddenly realising you've run out of gas mid-winter. If you live in a remote location or on a houseboat, as I did, replacement tanks can take several days to arrive, which is a huge pain if you depend on propane for heating and cooking! Also, if you're out of gas your pipes could freeze, causing flood damage or worse - your houseboat to sink!
