THIS YEAR 15 ANNIVERSARY OF THE FRENCH COMEDY "INSPECTOR GADJET" AND, ACTIVELY, THE TERM THIS FILLED WITH HIS APPEARANCE IS TAKING PLACE IN ACCESS. FOR THIS TIME, GADGETS HAVE ALREADY EVEN CLIMBED ON THE WORLD LUXURY Podium.
Culinary printer
At the January international gadget show in Las Vegas, a company from South Carolina 3D Systems presented a curious alternative to ovens and other kitchen equipment. From now on, cooking can be done in a 3D printer, where instead of polystyrene granules ordinary sugar, chocolate, coconut flakes, starch and other fillers are filled. The Chef Jet and Chef Jet Pro printers have already passed certification for the safety of their products for the human body, which allows us to hope for their early appearance in cafes and restaurants, as well as in home kitchens.
Sales are projected to begin in the second half of 2014. The first model costs $ 5000, the second is twice as expensive, but it is a real color printer that allows you to "bake" products not only of any shape, but of any color. So far, 3D Systems has "taught" its printers how to print only confectionery products, but in the future we can expect the development of all other areas of gastronomy.
Looking to the future
LG introduced the public to televisions with unprecedented realistic images. The screen resolution of Ultra HD TV exceeds the well-known Full HD quality by 4 times, which allows you to plunge into the world of accurate and incredibly lively details. The record-breaking resolution of 8.3 million pixels provides the perfect picture even when watching videos from close range. Unique IPS-matrix provides wide viewing angles and rich colors. Add to that the powerful sound - and get the most realistic viewing experience to date. The built-in 4K HEVC (H.265) codec allows you to enjoy 4K content over the Internet or from a USB drive without using additional devices.
After the latest fashion
Designer Diana von Furstenberg entered the new territory of the kingdom of technological accessories for her and created a fashionable “outfit” for Google Glass. “A collaboration that combines the courage of Glass Explorers with the confidence and independence of the DVF Woman brand,” the partners of the new alliance defined their joint creation. Consumers will be able to purchase glasses from the DVF collection | Made for Glass this summer exclusively on the Glass and Net-a-Porter sites. Electronic glasses are only gaining popularity, and this, of course, will be facilitated by cooperation with fashion brands. The trend will ultimately require special training from ophthalmologists, who will have to provide services to patients who use corrective glasses with an integrated device.
All-terrain camera
The Japanese company Olympus, which at one time lost the battle for the mass consumer to the Canon and Nikon brands, this time decided to go the other way, creating a shockproof and waterproof Stylus Tough TG-3 camera. Probably, each of the army of amateur photographers who have grown significantly in recent years knows what it is to drop the camera on the cobblestone pavement of the historical center of Europe or to suffer with putting it in a plastic case if necessary underwater shooting. With the new Olympus, all these problems are a thing of the past.
Hours
The Finnish company MetaWatch introduced this year its third model of smart watches - META. Thanks to the design of Frank Nouveau (the Vertu brand was created with his participation), the new Sharp monochrome display is less likely to resemble Chinese plastic watches and claims to be a place in the ranks of stylish watches. The stainless steel case has a white or gold coating, a dozen colorful versions of the strap with hinge brackets specially developed for this model are offered. Battery lasts for a week. Via Bluetooth 4.0, the META watch communicates with nearby iPhones, iPods or iPads, responding to calls and other vibrations with vibration.
New flagship Android
Samsung annually launches new flagship smartphones. Galaxy S5 - the main model of 2014, which incorporates the latest achievements of Korean technology. And the main one is not only in the Samsung lineup, but also among all Android smartphones in general, given the company's dominant position. The main interest is still the technical parameters. The fingerprint scanner has appeared in the new version, there is a new energy saving mode and moisture protection has been added. Now, even if you drop your phone in water, nothing will happen to it. Another interesting feature of the Galaxy S5 is the heartbeat sensor.
Brilliant simplicity
The legendary brand Leica has released a camera of the latest T-System line. As the developers say, "we thought about everything so that you can only think about photography." Leica T has a resolution of 16.5 megapixels, has a Full HD recording function and a huge 3.7-inch touch screen that guarantees maximum image detail. The camera is characterized by a number of unique features, for example, this is the first camera in which a new push-button system for attaching easy-click accessories is implemented. One of the nicest features of the new Leica T is its excellent inter-system compatibility. Thanks to the M-T adapter, more than twenty lenses of the Leica M line can be used with cameras of the Leica T system. The built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to directly transfer photos from the camera to a smartphone or desktop computer. You can also quickly upload your photos on social networks using the special Leica T app for iOS.
