Geek Out
While @ WBIE on Friday I was given an onslaught of month-old-mags. In this new
publication for gadget loving 20-35 year olds, SYNC, I spotted this wonderfully
pertinent spread called “Geek Out”.
Franz, pictured above is sporting some serious geek wear.
1. Gaming Gloves
“ Digiglove has padding on the forefinger and thumb to help reduce calluses, blisters and painful hands due to hand-arm vibration syndrome; and strategic venting prevents hand sweating that can lead to chafing and other long-term video game ailments.
14$ 800 851 6030”
2. LED Binary Watch
“…displays the time using numbers of the binary sequence (1,2,4,8,16,etc.)…”
3. Wearable Computer
“ QBIC Belt Integrated Computer from the Wearable Computing Lab of Switzerland. Play game, surf, input data via an eyeglasses-mounted diplay…
4. Wearable Lifelog Camera (o.k. so it actually sad “Spy Camera”)
“…Camwear Model 100 by DejaView is a die-sized video camera that clips onto a cap or lapel. It records and buffers the last 30 seconds of everything it sees…hit Record on the fanny pack and the last half a minute is caputured. $400; MyDejaView.com”
Camwear Model 100 by DejaView seems really cool, and relevant to some work going on in the division, I’m looking at you Tripp. Check out the site for more details.

im glad you are looking at me.
ive looked at it online, spoken to them on the phone and it looks like ill get to play with one in the next 2 or 3 weeks thanks to microsoft.
there are a couple of problems with this model - the battery isnt replaceable (4 hour life, then 3 hours to recharge; means you need 2 models to get through the day) and the thing requires this button press for recording.
hopefully, ill be able to get my hnads on one (they offered to sell me one at cost, but thats still 300 bucks) and find some creative ways around these problems.
well, if i decide to use their product.
you know what? i need to see if it includes a mic. if it doesnt, 1 more strike against it. one more reason to hack an isight perhaps.
