Music Video Shot with iPhone QuadCamera App: “

Takayuki Fukatsu, the creator of the QuadCamera App (read my interview with him here) in his latest post mentions what could possibly be one of the first music videos shot with an iPhone. What makes the video compelling is the use of the QuadCamera App to give it a great stop motion feel.

Oxyfit Oxygen-Boosting Backpack [Exercise]: “


The Oxyfit backpack

Here’s how it works. The tube, which goes in front of your face like you were Neil Patrick Harris answering phones for a Haiti telethon, pipes oxygen from the backpack directly to your breathing space. With this, you’ll raise the normal 20% oxygen level of Earth’s atmosphere that you get to a more Olympic-level 30%. Is this $2681 backpack worth it to help you exercise longer by giving you more oxygen? That depends on how fat you are. [Japan Trend Shop via Oh Gizmo via Fashionably Geek]

Metronomy – A Thing For Me: Inventively Motion-tracked Music Video: “

One of the big advantages of building a project around a single effect or idea is that you can spend time experimenting, and build interesting permutations of your central idea:

A Thing For Me from Metronomy on Vimeo.

From a ridiculously basic central tenet, and some reasonably simple motion-tracking and animation, this piece unfolds some fascinating and entertaining ideas.

1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light [Research]: “

A Penn State graduate student and professor have built a system that transmits wireless data at 1 Gbps over infrared light. And they think it can go even faster.

Just last month, we saw Siemens get to 500Mbps streaming using white LEDs, but this infrared solution works at twice that speed:

Their setup sent data across a room by modulating a beam of infrared light that was focused on the ceiling and picking up the reflections using a specially modified photodetector. The pair says that their measurements show the system could support data rates ‘well beyond’ the one gigabit per second they are currently claiming.

While there are some hurdles to overcome before optical wireless networks become commonplace, the professor who guided the project believes that if the technology continues to develop at its current pace, we could see a practical application within three years. [PSU via Technology Review]
