Take 3D photos with the Cardboard Camera app from Google. #Apps #3D #VR

Most folk like to take photos on our devices and share to social media this is nothing new and its likely to stay this way for some time yet,Although some folk go to the extreme sharing every moment in their life is annoying and for the most we like to see good things,not just food and shared Flickr photo-shoots spamming the life out of Twitter etc..

We can now take 3D photos thanks to Google’s Cardboard Camera app in a VR style,However we need to have Google Cardboard to avail of it and its pretty cheap to pick up too if you shop around,you are talking around €25-30..

Cardboard Camera takes VR photos – moments in time that you can relive in virtual reality. Hear the sounds as they happened, and look around to see the scene in every direction. VR photos are 3D, so things near to you look close and distant things look far away. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a family get-together, VR photos will bring you back to that moment.

Features:
• Take beautiful panoramic photos with depth and sound that you can see and hear in VR.
• Download and start capturing immediately. No sign-up or account required.
• View photos in virtual reality using Google Cardboard.

Yahoo messenger updates its app,does anyone use it? #Yahoo #Apps

 

Yahoo Messenger app has got some new features and improvements,only recently they launched a new app called Livetext .

This also was to me pointless,after ditching yahoo mail last year I felt it was poor and inconsistent too and outdated,Yahoo are trying to hang onto services and people but they are moving away too,even with Flikr I gave up on.This app seems to be an attempt to claw back on its former customers but Yahoo have entered an already crowed space here so will it help?

With the app only on Android and iOS its already shafted Windows Phone users although this app is hardly something Windows Phone fans will cry for and they are struggling with top named apps as is,this app certainly wont be on their list…

The all-new Yahoo Messenger is the fastest, easiest way to chat and share lots of photos and animated GIFs instantly. Plus, now you can unsend messages—yep, you can take it all back!


More than just a messenger:
• Chat one-on-one or in groups
• Yes, take backs! Tap “Unsend” to remove photos and messages from a conversation
• Instantly share lots of high-resolution photos at once
• Swipe to view photos beautifully displayed in a carousel
• Express yourself with animated GIFs
• “Like” messages and photos in the conversation
• Offline/low connectivity mode—anything you share will be posted once you’re back online
• Optimized for use with TalkBack

DFree are smartpants that tell you in advance when its time to use the toilet #DFree

So yet again we see some more smart tech in the underwear department only this time its tells you when its time to empty the bladder etc,subconsciously we can already decide for ourselves when we want to go but this device will tell you before you think you want to go so it might be useful for some,so take take note…on a more serious note it is also useful for those who suffer with incontinence too so from that perspective its sounding like a good idea.

This works with an app and your smartphone too,The device, unveiled last week at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) on the outskirts of Tokyo, is not yet on sale but could be on the market by spring next year.

Reuters have reported the following after an interview with its creators

“This device predicts faecal excretion. The device goes on your stomach and uses ultrasonic waves to monitor your internal organs and sends the data to smartphones to be displayed,” said Ryohei Ochiai, of Triple W Japan’s Solution Development.

However, the company is still working on alternative methods to secure the device to underwear, because many people are concerned that it may chafe their skin.

“We are still in the process of looking at whether to use tape or belts to secure the device to the stomach. However, many elderly people are concerned about skin chafing. So we are looking at how to secure the device safely and solidly,” Ochiai said.

OnePlus launch a case for the iPhone. No Invite required but you get one. WTF? #OnePlus

One plus have announced that they have launched a case for an iPhone,now this may seem strange and frankly being honest I have to ask WHY? Thankfully there is no invites required either albeit a case the company are renowned for an invite system which has now annoyed many people,myself included,after their first model I thought this system would be scrapped but no…The case is Sandstone which is a feature on the One Plus devices and its actually a nice feel and grippy and makes the device nice to hold..

This has had some folk scratching their heads as to why,They should be focusing on their own customers and products/issues before catering for Apple of all companies,this is probably just another crazy business model just like their invite system (which initially worked then the idea pissed off many after its 2nd phone) and perhaps we will see cases for more devices show up soon..They have to make money somehow right? On the upside though it could be a nice earner for the company if they produce some nice cases for other manufacturers and if the are nice and again priced as this one is which is just €19.99 with free shipping. Oh and you also get an invite to purchase the One Plus X as if LOYAL Apple fans are going to be tempted to switch over…Lets see how this fairs out and what is next…..
