I thought this video of space fits well in to “camera gadgets” as the Hubble Telescope is perhaps the most amazing camera ever created. A few years back a few scientists decided to look in to a dark region of space that looked to be the size of a grain of sand held at arms length. It was a risky move as the Hubble Telescopes time was in demand and taking 10 or so days out of it’s busy schedule to photograph nothing seemed too risky. However, they went ahead and captured the most amazing images of space ever taken before. 10,000 galaxies were found in that black region by using the Hubble Deep Field. It really does show how small our planet is in relation to it’s surroundings.
The image has now been converted in to 3D using a technique which measures the distance to each galaxy (explained in the video below). [Read more…]
This retro designed cake is made in the shape of a Commodore C64. For some reason they show it playing a simple game of Pong although we all know there were more colours like that on the screen’s of the C64 games. That aside, it looks quite cool in my opinion.
It was made for a bloke who lives here in the UK called Andy by his wife for his birthday and I have to say it looks amazingly tasty. [Read more…]
Art Levedev Studio’s have created another concept gadget. This time they created the Navigarius which is a satnav unit that sports a round screen. It has touchscreen controls, a USB port, microSD slot and is powered by either battery or a lighter socket on your car.
It looks like it belongs in a future concept car and other than looking rather cool it looks like a pretty standard setup with the usual maps and features of ordinary satnav units. [Read more…]

The Haptic Reader concept is an overlay designed to help blind people read non Braille books. The device has a glass surface that is designed to rest on the pages of a regular book.
