Convert Your I Phone Into 3D Camera..!!

Poppy Converts Your iPhone Into A 3D Camera

Poppy, a $39-device that converts an iPhone into a 3D video camera, is the latest device to go up on Kickstarter. The gadget lets users capture, view and share 3D video clips and photos in an all-in-one low-cost device.

Creators Ethan Lowry and Joe Heitzeberg said Poppy works with the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, and fifth-generation iPod touch.

The device, which resembles an oversized Viewmaster, has lenses that combine two video streams into a single, crisp, 3D video. Best of all, since it doesn´t use electronics — just optics — no batteries are required.

The company says Poppy will be a great way to capture sporting events, weddings and other family get-togethers, or simply serve as a fun device for kids to use while playing. Other possible applications include real estate, science, education, architectural walk-throughs, art and more.

Google looking To Build Gaming Console..!!

Google Looking To Build Android-Based Video Game Console

Google could be planning to expand its Android ecosystem from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches, video game consoles and a spherical entertainment hub called “Q.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, Google is developing these devices to compete with Apple’s alleged upcoming products of the same nature. Though rumors of an Apple and a Google smartwatch have been hovering for some time, talk of a Google-built gaming console has been thin, if not entirely nonexistent.

Android is the most popular mobile OS in the world, commanding a 75 percent global market share in smartphones alone, according to an IDC report. It’s this kind of popularity which Google could capitalize on by branching Android out to new kinds of devices.

The two-horse smartphone race between Android and iOS has all but left game console makers in their wake. As more games become available on a mobile platform it becomes difficult to sell an expensive console and title. There are those, however, that are using the popularity of mobile gaming to revitalize the console market.

Ouya, a small and open source gaming box, also runs Android and is capable of playing the typical pocket games found on mobile devices everywhere or other games developed specifically for the platform. As a gaming powerhouse in their own rite, Apple has before been rumored to make an entry into the gaming market.

The Cheapest Game Console Is Out..!!

OUYA console

Crowdfunded last year with its promise as an indie alternative to mainstream consoles, OUYA has finally made it to retail with the gamer-friendly price tag of £99 and USP of allowing independent developers to sell games directly to players through its online store.

Unfortunately, that promise has translated into a disappointingly limited selection of games for this Android-powered device. Worse, most of what is available now are remakes of existing titles for phones and browsers. Generally these don't capitalise on the controller or screen size the console provides, making the OUYA version seem inferior or pointless. Graphics range from the passable to the outright bad and there aren't many truly interesting titles, save for the spectacularly entertaining BombSquad. There are also few other applications, with no Netflix or TV catch-up services, although there is a TwitchTV app for watching other people play games the OUYA can't run.

The design at least is admittedly quite appealing. It's sleek and remarkably small; the whole thing can be held comfortably in one hand. The controller is unimaginative but fine, and does feature a handy mouse touch-pad in the middle. Unfortunately it also feels a tad cheap yet cost £40 each, which becomes pretty expensive if you want to OUYA with friends.

The device only really comes to life for the more technically inclined; emulation and "side-loading' applications from Android phones may drastically increase the console's potential. But most of what the OUYA does is better covered by other gaming devices, making this feel more like an expensive toy than a cheap console.
