This amazing accessory turns your iPad into a 3D scanner When most people play with a Kinect, the best they can hope for is a high score in Dance Central. When Occipital CEO Jeff Powers saw Microsoft's innovative sensor package for the first time he decided to change the direction of his company and got to work developing the Structure Sensor, a new 3D scanning tool that earned the company over $250,000 (£156,000) in a single day. Product designers can use their iPads and Occipital's anodised aluminium add-on to scan objects and create 3D models suitable for a MakerBot. Realtors can take advantage of its depth sensors to capture the dimensions of a room and create a 360-degree panoramic photo that can be embedded in a listing. Gamers will be able to use the slick sensor to play a bevy of games built on top of the Structure's open API. The Structure employs a suite of sensor technologies developed by PrimeSense -- which also created the original technology used in the Kinect. The change in strategy hasn't come without costs.
New TiVO Offers One Cool Feature…iPad Streaming By Lory | August 20, 2013 | No comment yet Today, TiVo is announcing the launch of a new DVR that promises to free you from your living room and let you take your favorite shows with you on the go. The new “Roamio” DVR “delivers wherever the viewer’s roaming may take them.” The Roamio comes with a fairly high price tag, ranging in price from $199.99 to $599.99. Business Insider pointed out that not many TV lovers will invest that kind of money on the new device since most cable companies offer a free DVR with their subscription. Based on the description from TiVo, the Roamio is similar to set-top box devices, like Apple TV or the Roku. Additionally, you’ll be able to “beam” certain shows from your Roamio to your iPhone or iPad over your home’s Wi-Fi network. You can find out more about which model of TiVo is right for you by visiting the company’s website.

Get Cordless Mirroring with AirBridge — A Kickstarter Project By Emily | September 11, 2012 | No comment yet What’s most remarkable about AirBridge is what it doesn’t rely on cables, power sources, or special configurations to mirror iPad content. Dreamed up by Artifex Touch, this campaign is relying on Kickstarter to fund its portable device, which could simplify presentations and lectures that rely on iPad mirroring. AirBridge will show exactly what’s on the user’s iPad screen, in full HD. While current prototypes will run for three hours on a single charge, AirBridge’s creators hope the final product will pack a whopping 8 hours of battery life. AirBridge will come in two configurations: lite and pro. After the user has the AirBridge, she needs to download an app — either lite or pro — to use AirBridge. But hey, what about that new iOS dock connector I’ve heard so much about? Interested backers who pledge $165 will receive an AirBridge Pro, the accompanying app, and a few other gifts.
