The problem of selecting a model of jeans has existed exactly as long as there have been women’s jeans models. It is rare that we can determine the necessary cut and size from the first time. The inventors from the United Kingdom decided to simplify the problem of choice. Bodymetrics pod machine has been invented, which resembles a vertical tanning booth. Built-in measuring devices scan the figure of the woman, who enters the booth, and produce an accurate 3D-model of the female body. These data are processed and classified according to several parameters: the type of the figure, the size. Then the client gets the exact recommendation to buy jeans : what brands, styles, and cuts are the most suitable. The first 100 copies of the booths are expected to appear in the U.S. retail stores. The experiment will last for two years, and if the demand for such a service is great, the technology will spread across the globe.

Engineers from the Land of the Rising Sun have created a speaker that can silence anyone. This safe device uses biologists’ knowledge about the speech centers of the brain. Kazutaka Kurihara from the National Institute of Industrial Science and Technology and Koji Tsukada from the University of Ochanomizu have studied the research papers of psychologists and found that people are almost unable to pronounce anything, when their words are echoed back to them with an ultra-short delay. The Japanese decided to use this effect to construct a SpeechJammer device, which could stop any conversation. To do this, they combined a microphone and a speaker in a single gadget. The microphone records the voice of the speaking person, and the speaker relays it to the side of the speaking person with a delay of 0.2 seconds. Both the microphone and the speaker can be directed, that is why the device can be used as a gun, to force a specific person or a group of people keep silence. Howeve...

iPhone cases come in all shapes and sizes, and it can be some task to pick up the best one. It may be the one that will be useful and handy in other respects – for example, serving as a non-bulky holder for your magnetic cards. The iPUP combination case/credit card holder case is a concept created by Yun Seong Kim (who must be handling a lot of magnetic cards!). He tried to supply an iPhone case with an easy access to the phone and cards and a safe storage for cards. The iPUP uses the UV-coated PET film designed to diminish the wearing off process of your cards’ magnetic strip. Another feature – whose technical details are unrevealed yet – serves to disperse the electromagnetic field of your iPhone. The concept boasts of a bright and fetching exterior complete with cute images, and it is clearly an idea worth building upon, so let’s hope we’ll be able to lay our hands on it after a while.

The new Lytro camera is a gadget that will save us many a problem with taking pictures – oh, and will save us many pictures that would have been lost otherwise because of the irritating blurred image.

The Lytro camera is based on the recent “light field” technology which has all the reason to be regarded as the most revolutionary one in photography . It is expected that Lytro may be the first in the new generation of cameras which allow you to take your picture first and then play around with it. The camera captures the scene you chose, remembering the colors and the whole complex vector system of lighting. It means that you can shift the focus of every taken pic! The clever camera stores the photos as animation, not as stills, so you touch the photo where you want it focused, and touch it in another place looking for the best effect. As soon as you’r...

By adopting a parallel processing data solution, the new imager doubles the frame rate over previous generation of 8Mp imagers to 30fps, while operating at similar power levels due to the sensor's low-power circuitry.
