Best Tech of IFA: From Eye controlled TV’s to Headcams and Car Camcorders

Sept. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Well we’ve just come back from IFA show and have had a sneak preview of what we’ll all be wanting for Christmas 2012. Often IFA only shows a few brief glimpses of what’s coming up but we were pleasantly surprised this year with the wealth of new generation products ranging from pico projectors to eye controlled TV’s, quality headcams and car camcorders to help proetct you in the event of an accident.

Aiptek Z3 Sports Camera – If you’re into your sports then the chances are you want to be recording your amazing performances on your bike, skis, surf board, skuba dive, windsurfing or even your rally car.  The snag is most headcams or sports camcorders dont come with all the necessary accessories to attach your camera to your chosen equipment. The good news about the Z3 camera is it comes with all the kit you’re ever gonna need in the box to mount the camera.

Aiptek Sports Camera headcam - Includes a diving case waterproof to 30m and mounts with 3-way pivot arm, clips or  even velcro fixing option. It also offers full HD with a 120 degree viewing angle. Its going to be a popular gift for  xmas this year.

Car camcorder X1 Aiptek RRP £119 – Another suprise from Aiptek at IFA, Berlin was the car camcorder which has a 120 degree wide angle lens and continously records while you are driving so in the event of an accident you can prove who is at fault.

Young drivers in particular will really welcome this  idea as in the event of an accident they can prove fault much more easily and avoid nasty hikes in high insurance premuims.

Aiptek V100 pocket projector was on show proving its ideal for home portable enterntainment. For alternatives to the Aiptek V100 see the new Pico Genie P100

Eye Controlled TV – Haier demontrated a really cool eye controlled TV. It takes a bit of getting used to but in seconds your eyes easily control the TV and can change channels and open documents on the smart TV’s. Just to show how off the wall the guys are at Haier they had people jumping and spinning off the walls all day which actually is one the better PR stunts we’ve seen.

Samsung All Share – a new dongle is about to be released for about £80 from Samsung which will mean their latest kit will work wirelessly on any TV with an HDMI connection. It will however only work with new devices from the latest Galaxy range such as S3 mobile phone or the new ultra cool Galaxy wifi cameras.

Samsung Dual Screen laptops plus tablet- now this was one of the coolest concepts  at the show sporting a normal laptop screen on one side and a tablet screen on the reverse. You can even use it as a tablet or simply show the person sat opposite you exactly what your seeing so could be great for presentations.

They also showed a few other cool concept screens similar to the Asus Transformer laptops. Lets hope they decide to release them.

Samsung Galaxy cameras – they seem to have gone mental for cameras this year at Samsung with 3 new models out to suite everyone from the casual user to the professional.
They all have wifi on them and the zoom lens on this samsung camera is x20 optical but its so easy to use and incredibly light. There is a lighter smaller compact version too which you’d be happy to carry around and the wifi and 3G options mean you can always transfer those photos.

LG had some really widescreen displays as well so if your into your spreadsheets then this is pefect for you at 21″ wide you’re never gonna run out of columns again.

Acer showed their Acer K750 hybrid laser LED projector. Although slightly smaller than other hybrids we’ve seen we cant see it beating the Casio laser projector specs any time soon with only 1600 lumens plus the fact its the heaviest projector we’ve come across in a while.

AEG Eclipse 10 Designer Cordless Phone – a nice bit of kit to confuse everyone in the office when the phone rings the first time – see if they can guess where the ring comes from…wouldnt look out of place on Johny Ives desk.
