Ok happy new parents, if you feel the need to keep an eye on your baby throughout the night because he/she sleeps in a different room you probably need a baby monitor to do the job. While audio-only monitors have done the job for many years, it looks like they’re about to get a significant upgrade with BabyPing: a combination of your iOS device, a free app and a baby monitor over a WiFi network.
Watch your baby sleep in full color video (640 x 480) over your WiFi network, and hear every noise he/she makes with the built in microphone on the monitor. The monitor also features Smart Filter which cuts out background noise and static normally associated with baby monitors and Constant-Connect acts as a permanent tether between the app and monitor – instantly notifying you when the baby is upset or the connection is broken.
The BabyPing Video Monitor will be available starting February 2012, but you can sign up for notifications on the launch of BabyPing at the official website.
At times when various project teams need to work simultaneously on a single piece of work, there always remains a hindrance regarding an interactive system where more than a single person can control of work being done. To overcome this technological drawback in computer system, interactive touch tables were bought in, which allowed for more than a single user to interact simultaneously, without any functionality coming in the way. We have seen some examples such as the Ideum MT55 HD, MT55 Pro, and the Touchscape table, and making the entry into this hi-tech space, is the Wilkhakhn InteracTable, which combines minimalistic form and advanced technology.
Designed by Andreas Storiko, this table comes to rescue of teams that are looking for more innovative ways to manage complicated projects, especially infrastructure and technology oriented firms. The table’s frame is made from a combination of aluminum and linoleum, complete with optional chrome polished or black painted stands, and wooden plating from rare varieties like oak, maple, beech, ash, cherry or even walnut. The display size has been given a very easy-to-work size of 50-inches in diagonals, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a picture resolution of 1280 x 768 which gives a realistic view of the content. Combined with the capability of 16.7 million colors recognition and the touch screen format, the interaction experience is rather easy and smooth for multiple users at a time, especially when spontaneous interaction might be needed. Other technical prowess of the touch-table include PAL, NTSC, SECAM, and HDTV signal input compatibility, along with PC inputs from VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, and UXGA formats. This means, most of the computers on the market can be plugged in easily without hassle. The pricing of the same is under wraps but can be availed depending on requirement from customers.
USB drives may come in all shapes and sizes these days, but they all basically give you one of two choices: you can buy one big drive to store as much of your data as possible, or juggle a bunch of drives if you want to keep things separate. Designer Hyunsoo Song has proposed an alternative with this so-called Amoeba modular USB flash drive, however, which let you sort your data on individual drives that can be used both on their own or together as one large drive. The idea there being that you can keep the drives together most of the time, and just detach the appropriate section if you want to share only your photos or videos with someone. Of course, the keyword here is “concept,” but it’s not exactly as far beyond the realm of possibility as some others we’ve seen.
