A 360-degree Camera : Bublcam

From the highly evolved smartphone cameras of today to DSLRs or even the VR cameras, here comes an innovative, bold and quite exciting 360-view camera – The Bublcam baseball-sized camera that uses 360-degree image capture technology, developed by the founder of Buble Technology, Sean Ramsay.

With the vision to capturing your life’s most beautiful moments from all the angle’s possible, Sean has innovated this technology, that you would want to get hold of. Bublcam isn’t going to replace traditional point-and-shoot cameras any time soon, but its good to see such innovating ideas developing into actual products.

Bublcam takes both pictures and video in a spherical range i.e. from the sky to the ground, which creates an experience for photographers who feel constrained by panoramic shots. Picture detail is awesome and watching the video in a computer just re-creates the actual moment which is simply amazing.

At $799, it sure is a pricey bite of tech, but Ramsay hopes to get this price down to about $499 to make it more appealing to every camera enthusiasts out there.

Vinyl Record Players

The very first of the music players which were most famous world-wide, that also reflected your stature and reputation back in the days were  – ‘The Gramophones’. Back in the 20th century, there was quite a craze among the rich people about Gramophone and it was considered an honor having one of these in your home. But as the years passed by, even the popular technology as Gramophones became obsolete and the big black discs called the Vinyl Records also became useless.

But there are still lot of people who have these Gramophones or even more people who just owns Vinyl Records as the antiques. Well, its time to clean those records, as the new generation Vinyl Record player is here.

Roy Harpaz, an Israel-based designer has developed this amazingly cool looking player, which plays the Vinyls with great sound. Unlike the original gramophone, this payer runs them spinning vertically, compared to original horizontal spin. The design is retro but the functionalities are futuristic that allows users to skip tracks and listen to their favorite tracks by finding different points in a song.
