CATIA Natural Sketch gives digital sketching a whole new dimension
They say many of the cutting edge products we use today began as simple sketches or doodles on a pad. Just ask any automotive designer about it and the first thing they’ll tell you is they always sketch out an idea first. So, it makes sense in our digital world, to utilise the power of computers to replicate sketching doesn’t it? Up to now though there has been a distinct…
Scroll Excel 7” Tablet: 3D vision for under £150
The tablet market is getting increasingly congested as manufacturers fall over themselves in an effort to bring the next best thing. Whilst the IPad may still be taking the moral high ground, there are many other suitors looking to get up there as soon as possible in all shapes, sizes, weights and prices. The Scroll Excel 7” tablet is a perfect example. This 7” capacitive tablet runs Android 2.3 and…
Panasonic’s small wonder – the DMC-3D1
Compressed twin lenses are the secret behind Panasonic’s announcement that it has produced the smallest 3D compact camera ever. The Japanese corporation has just announced the DMC-3D1, which is expected to be on sale in the UK in December and which offers both 3D photo capabilities, along with 3D video recording.

Smartphone gaming, convergence and the LG Optimus 3D
Convergence is one of the big watchwords in smartphones and mobile devices manufactures have long been promising us “one handset to rule the all”. And in many cases it’s quite a valid case. My iPod is all but dead to me, as most smartphones offer a comparable listening experience. In fact with their always-one Internet connection, an all-you-can-eat data plan and apps such as Instacast and Spotify, in many ways…
TruLink 4-Port HDMI Selector Switch: Helping your HDMI devices learn how to share
We’ve been playing with TruLink products for sometime now and they have a solid history of producing reliable little widgets that help your gadgets play nicely with each other. They remind me of and old Demetri Martin joke about they way to fortune isn’t necessarily being an amazing inventor but being a guy who makes screws and being around an amazing inventor. That way every time some says “I think…
Toshiba’s ZL2 TV gives you 3D viewing without the specs
Even though 3D is still not a convincing enough medium to have cracked the home market, television manufacturers seem convinced that ultimately it will be and so doggedly pursue ways and means to tempt up into going for it. The problem has always been the glasses you have to wear to enjoy the 3D experience. So imagine a 55 inch LCD television that gives you a cracking 3D image without…
Pioneer BDP-140: Networking and 3D Blu-ray media powerhouse
The Pioneer BDP-140 is the first model from Pioneer’s new 3D Blu-ray player range. With the high level of competition, it’s a difficult market to enter, so Pioneer have picked a unique selling point: it’s all about the networking. The BDP-140 has an Ethernet port (for wired integration), as well as wifi (via the Pioneer AS-WL300 wireless LAN converter) to connect the 3D Blu-ray player to your home network. This’ll…
Budding wildlife photographers rejoice with the launch of the Samsung WB750!
Compact, digital cameras seem to be fixated on delivering more sophisticated and proficient lenses in recent months, a focus, which I believe, is well overdue. The latest camera to be promoting its assets predominantly on its lens is Samsung’s new WB750, which, in featuring the longest ever zoom in the company’s compact camera portfolio, “takes you further and faster than ever before”. Asides from its 18x Optical Zoom, 24x Smart-Zoom…
ViewSonic’s V3D245 3D monitor literally leaps out on to the market.
Its all well and good being the proud owner of the latest 3D ready technology, but none of it will be much good without shelling out for the extra hardware you need to view it all. All that is a thing of the past as far as ViewSonic is concerned, as its new V3D245 24 inch 3D monitor comes ready to impress with a pair of NVIDIA 3D vision glasses…
Philips SENSOTOUCH 3D RQ 1280. Cutting edge wet or dry electric shaving
Well this is the first time I’ve used a 3D product without having to wear glasses and whilst the thought of my face jumping out at me from the mirror might be a fun concept for some people, it is, fortunately for me, something I don’t have to deal with. 3D in this case simply means the shaver covers every contour of your face to provide a ‘flawless look’. Clearly,…
