Dino-Lite Digital Microscope at CES 2011

The guys from BigC had a booth setup at the Consumer Electronic Show 2011. I purchased a microscope similar to some one that they sell. My intention was to use it for circuit board inspection, the one I purchased works OK but the color of the image is not very accurate.

Windoro - Robotic Window Cleaning

Are you on the 50th floor and hate hanging out your window to clean the outside of your windows? Have a look at the Windoro from Ilshim Global.

3D Projection Cube - HoloAd

InnoVision Labs had their HoloAd unit on display at CES 2011. The 3D effect is very good and of course there are no funky glasses to wear to get the effect. The technology uses three video images projected from above. There appears to be three angled pieces of glass on the inside of the cube which is what the image gets reflected onto.

Dual Camera and Camcorder Tripod Mount Demo

This is a follow-up to the video last week where I showed the Camera and Camcorder Tripod Mount.  Some readers sent in some emails asking how I liked the rig and what the results were like. There were lots of people who asked where I got it and where they could get one. This solution worked great for me since I could whip out a basic pattern for the shape
