Smart Gun will not fire without the watch receiver
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Technology, Unique Designs on January 30, 2010
Not long after the smoke from the Consumer Electronics Show cleared, thousands of gun lovers converged upon the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas for the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show. It was loaded with techie stuff, too.
This year, the highest-tech gun belonged to Armatix. The German firm has an electronic safety that automatically disables the pistol when it’s not within a few inches of a custom wristwatch. The watch sends a wireless arming signal to the gun. If the gun is picking up a signal from the watch, a green LED on the back lights up. Try squeezing the handle without wearing the watch, and you will see a red warning light. Anyone can pick up a limited edition version of the pistol for about 7,000 euro, which is pretty steep for a .22cal plinker. They start shipping next month.

Smart Cameras: Exilim EX-FS10S analyzes your golf swing 1000 FPS
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Technology on January 29, 2010
Casio’s Exilim EX-FS10S is a compact digital camera with a twist – it’s designed to help improve your golf swing. Using a special burst mode, the camera captures 1000 video frames in one second. While onboard software’s detect your club, the position of your elbows, arms and head, and once you swing your shot the camera compares your swing with an ideal swing plane on the monitor.
Niches are being created by digital camera makers keen to stand out from the crowd – Nikon’s COOLPIX S100pj with built-in projector and Sony’s PARTY SHOT being just two examples.
Casio’s offering is not only designed to help with your swing – the camera has a 9.1-megapixel sensor, 720p video recording at 30ps, a 3x optical zoom, and weight of 139g. It only has 32MB of onboard memory, but comes with the usual SDHC/ SD/ MMC plus/ MMC media slots for memory expansion.
The EX-FS10S is priced at JPY34,800 (approximately US$350) and is available currently in Japan only at Casio’s e-site.
