wacom inkling digital capture pen Wacom Inkling Digitally Captures your Hand Drawn Sketches

The Wacom Inkling is the first ever pen and capture tool that literally allows you to import your sketches line for line to your computer, and store them as either a JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, PDF or SVG. As well, the Inkling directly integrates with Photoshop, Illustrator and Autodesk Sketchbook so that your hand drawn sketches can instantly be available for editing and review on your pc.

The way it works is actually quite simple. The Inkling comes with a special Digital Smart Pen that uses a special sort of ink that the transfer device detects. To use it, simply tack the transfer device to the top of a page of paper or any notebook, and start drawing. Then, with the touch of a button, the transfer device reads the ink from the page in front of it and saves it to a digital medium.

The Inkling can import the sketch either as a single image or with layers to make it easier to edit afterwards. Forget having to rely on scanners, these nifty devices look like they will save you the trouble.

According to sources, the Wacom Inkling should already be on the market, which is great news for people who find that sketching by hand beats using a tablet and pen any day.

While I’m not exactly much of an artist, I can see people who draw for a living or who run web comics going crazy for these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more sites spring up with hand drawn images now that anyone with talent for sketching, but lacking access to Illustrator, can bring their creations to the PC in no time.

The texting-glove for the hearing impaired is a new device that turns sign language into text, and sends it directly to one’s smartphone using Android operating software. Usind a gyroscope, an ADK Board, finger sensors and some other gear, the device can faithfully transcribe sign language into text message format.

According to our http://dvice.com/archives/2011/12/texting-glove-t.php”>source, the device was recently unveiled at Google’s Developers Day in Tel Aviv to showcase what can be done with Android software.

Thanks to text-messaging, cellphones are not without use to the hearing impaired. While it use of the glove might not be as practical as simply typing out a text message, since it takes a few moments for the phone to register and accept the glove’s motions, the motion-control-style gloves and software could probably be expanded in the future and lead to some really interesting developments.

At the very least, one could use this current technology to literally «write» things in sign language. How about writing a story using hand motions? That would be a neat item to have in the portfolio.

Ion Audio Guitar Apprentice Ion Audios iPad Guitar Apprentice

However, after a week, the shiny guitar begins to gather dust as after a little while of intensive practice, we realize that learning guitar isn’t an easy task. What seemed fun isn’t easy anymore, and in fact, leaves fingers sore and tired. Hard work can be off putting to most guitar learners and many video games like Guitar Hero have tried to keep learners playing for a longer time. In fact, many of these games have succeeded in doing so. Ion Audio’s iPad Guitar Apprentice is a device that learners can use to play the guitar efficiently. It allows you to use your existing iPad to learn the notes and also the position of strings and frets.

It was featured at the CES 2012, Las Vegas and the device can be carried anywhere you want as it does not need an external connections or leads. The electric-guitar style controller for Guitar Hero can be used a full-fledged musical instrument that also doubles up as a music tutor. The Guitar Apprentice comes with 14 fret board-fret buttons and strings. These can be strummed or plucked individually or altogether, allowing you to learn and practice practically every song that you might want to.

It is expected to cost $100 and is a great device to purchase if you already have an iPad with you, and want to learn how to play the guitar. You could also take a look at these 23 Guitar Mods that we had listed sometime back. The Shovel Guitar Mod is an interesting device as well. If you want to learn how to play the guitar, you would need to invest time and effort more than money.

First of all, the OHSO toothbrushes include a watertight cap with a clip that could prove useful if people wanted to carry their tooth care kit as a pen. Removing this cap implies a twist-and-pull motion, but it should be rather obvious. Once the cap is removed, you will notice the bristle that is screwed to the main compartment of the toothbrush. In terms of innovation, the main compartment is where the magic happens.

The replaceable brush is removed by rotating it counter clockwise. Next, you have to take your favorite tube of toothpaste and connect it to the main compartment by rotating it clockwise. All you need to do after that is to squeeze the toothpaste tube until the indicator of the OHSO toothbrush is full. This product seems to have been designed with the Colgate toothpastes in mind, since these are compatible right away. However, if you prefer other brands, you will have to use an universal adapter. Once the main compartment is filled with toothpaste, you will need to put the brush back into place. The quantity of toothpaste is said to be enough for a week, so for extended journeys you may want to take a toothpaste tube with you.

The toothpaste from the main compartment gets directly on the brush when rotating clockwise the knob from the end. Since the nozzle through which the toothpaste exits is made from rubber, it will not harm your teeth upon contact. The OHSO travel toothbrush has an increased functionality, as it is an all-in-one product that will do more than just saving room in your travel bag.

The OHSO travel toothbrush can be purchased on the manufacturer’s web site for $14,95 for the clear vented version and $19,95 for the chrome vented one. OHSO Marko gift sets are also available for $24,95, while a pack of three bristles costs $8.95. All in all, the OHSO products are very appealing, especially considering the innovative design, so the price is rather decent.

Shogun Bros., the up-and-coming gaming accessory company behind the Chameleon X-1 Wireless Gamepad Mouse, has just announced a new version of their innovative peripheral.

Fans of the original Chameleon X-1, which launched almost exactly one year ago, will be pleased to hear that this updated version will include the same features as the original. For those who have never heard of the original, these features include a 5-stage adjustable 1600 dpi optical sensor with 125Hz polling rate, as well as a unique pièce de résistance — a hidden gamepad on the bottom with 16 force-feedback buttons.

Functionality-wise, this Assassin’s Creed Revelations themed mouse is identical to the original Chameleon X-1. The difference, then, is the look. This new design will come in two clever colors: «Altair White» and «Ezio Grey.» Besides just being colored differently, the new model is also partially leather-plated, conjuring up images of roguish knaves in renaissance Rome, and features the Assassin’s Creed logo.

This mouse-cum-gamepad truly is a must-buy for any Assassin’s Creed fan, or for any gamer on the go. Its efficient design makes it an invaluable accessory for those who enjoy PC games but realize that some games are just better played with a controller — fans of the Assassin’s Creed series should be able to understand that better than anyone!

Isotoner sent us a pair of Women’s smarTouch Stretch Gloves — Fleece Lined for this review and in addition to Baltic, you can find these in Azalea, Black, Charcoal, Cobalt, Grape, Oyster, and Really Red.

These gloves are made using high-quality, soft materials such as nylon polyester for the backshell, fleece for sidewalls, silicone grip for the palm, and fleece lining. The wrist is gathered so you won’t feel the cold won’t pass through the sleeve. You can wash these in cold water without bleach, but you can’t tumble dry, dry clean or iron.

What I like at them is that they are soft and stretch so there is no bulky area. The sizing is perfect if you use the measuring instructions, which doesn’t happen with other gloves. I think it’s the first pair of gloves that really fits my fingers. This is the reason I stopped wearing any kind of gloves until trying these. The glove’s little finger was always too large and it was one thing I hated at gloves in general. Well, this doesn’t happen with the stretch Isotoner gloves.

The jersey style palm helps me keep the cell phone stable in landscape and portrait modes, with two hands or one hand. I’m thinking that the silicone grip will help this winter in buses, when holding those metallic bars. In the past I had to take off the gloves to hold those and feel my hands freezing, but not anymore.

I have been using the Istotoner gloves the last few days and I noticed how accurate they are when clicking on links on the small display of my Xperia X8. For example, one time I remember I had four tiny links under my thumb or index finger and I pressed on the right link at the first try. Playing Angry Birds is a breeze with these gloves too. For pinpoint accuracy you only need to make sure your fingertips reach the end of the gloves to engage conductive heat properly.

The Isotoner Women’s smarTouch Stretch Gloves — Fleece Lined are available for purchase in many places, such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Macy’s, as well as at the Isotoner online shop, for $29.40. They look modern and I like them a lot. I recommend them to those who want to keep their hands warm in the winter and use touchscreen devices while on the go.

Vexaris is also described as a mini smartphone because it’s small and compact at 107 x 55 x 14 mm. Additional features include microSD card slot for 16GB of external memory, 3,5-mm audio jack, dual camera (2MP and 0,3MP), 48 hours standby, 4 hours talk time, Wi-Fi, accelerometer sensor, and Bluetooth.

There is no proximity sensor or light sensor, but Vexaris comes packed with two rechargeable batteries, an USB charging cable, earphones and English manual. You can purchase it from Chinavasion for $111.37.
