Long-awaited 360-degree Camera Launches in Europe!

The Ricoh Theta 360-degree camera is a little device that captures a full panorama with a single shutter click! Small enough to fit into your pocket, the camera features a twin-lens folded optical system that captures everything around, above and below for fully spherical images.

You can mount the camera on a tripod and it can even be remotely controlled via an iOS device. Images captured can immediately be uploaded via WiFi to an online photo album and shared on social media.
Ricoh has revealed that the shooting distance from the Theta’s two 180 degree lenses to infinity is about 10 cm (4 in). The device measures 1.65 x 5.08 x 0.9 in (42 x 129 x 22.8 mm and has an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 1600, auto exposure control and white balance, and about 4 GB of internal memory available to users (which should be enough for about 1,200 images).

It’s Not a Book, It’s a Lamp!

This one’s for purely tech porn purposes. An absolute design inspiration, this Unfolding Book Lamp resembles a hardbound book that turns into a lamp. Open the book to turn the light on and shut it to turn it off! This lamp can be used as a table lamp, outdoor lantern or ceiling pendant.

The project, recently launched on Kickstarter, has already surpassed its target goal by more than 200%. So we can expect to see it in homes soon!
