DXG readies first 3D camcorder
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Inventions, Technology on January 14, 2010
Someone was bound to offer a 3D camcorder, but who would have thunk it’d come from pocketcam maker DXG? We got a gander at this pistol-grip, dual lens stereoscopic 3D View model, due in June. It shoot only VGA standard def 3D video, but what do you want for just $400?
Believe it or not, that $400 isn’t just for the camera. You also get a 7-inch digital video viewer. The 3D in both the camcorder’s 3-inch 3D LCD viewfinder LCD and the frame look almost holographic. For what it is, footage actually looked pretty cool. The video is in Motion JPEG, a pretty standard file format, but you likely won’t be able to view the 3D footage on anything other than the DXG panel.
Equally cool, or cooler, are three other new 2D HD cams, the DXG-A85 HD (March, $300), the DXG-A80V HD ($250, on sale tomorrow), and the DXG-590V HD ($200, end of February), which solve a vexing problem: you want to shoot at low resolution for easy upload to YouTube or other social media sites, but you want HD for posterity. All three of these models shoot two versions, HD and QVGA, simultaneously and stores two separate files.

The FIREBIRD ™-R is the first all around wingsuit in the world that has semi-rigid Mylar ribs – every rib. You won’t notice them until you push hard, pull some G’s and take it to your limits. But when the time comes to go for it FIREBIRD -R gives you what you ask for .. and maybe a bit more.
Special features:
- BIRDMAN® Bi-Convex wing profile. Trailing edge that decreases drag and makes the wing faster through the airstream generating extra speed and lift.

Gruber Assist – the invisible electric bike retrofit
Posted by Daoco in DIY, Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Technology, Unique Designs on January 5, 2010
GRUBER Assist is not dependent on the bicycle brand – required cycle frame specifications
In contrast to the ready-made E-bikes, you have the advantage of being relatively brand-independent when buying a new bicycle.
What you should look for in a frame if you want to install a GRUBER Assist:
- Aluminium or steel frame (carbon currently in test phase)
- Straight, continuous seat tube
- Seat tube with an inner diameter of 31.6mm
(This is given for a seat post with an external diameter of 31.6mm) - The existing seat post will be replaced with a Truvativ XR double clamp (included in delivery)
- Crank set from Shimano Hollowtech II (not included in delivery)
- Seat tube should be as central as possible on the bottom bracket (not shifted forwards or backwards!)
- People with a step length under 80 cm should contact GRUBER Antrieb GmbH & Co KG or their dealer before installation. From the middle of the crank to the saddle (without saddle) the GRUBER Assist has a lenght of 57 cm.
- Installation by a certified GRUBER Assist dealer
