A clever narrow Coke vending machine. The video has a few shots of it being built. Will these ever show up in general use? No, probably not but they are pretty neat. Hell in a Very Thin Handbasket: The Diet Coke Slender Vender – Core77.

Camera + Facebook = Facedeals. No, this won’t cause a panic…

John — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 02:30:57 +0000

Part of me wants to think that this is just a hoax but no, I think it’s real. So how this works is that you sign up on Facebook to let Facedeal use your info. Now every time you walk into a store that has a Facedeal camera that can scan your face you get [...]

Instagram Socialmatic Camera

John — Wed, 09 May 2012 01:55:26 +0000

A pretty cool looking concept camera (sadly, not real) that brings the Instagram look and feel into the real world. Sounds like a pretty spiffy camera if they could pull it off. 16GB storage, optical zoom, Wifi and bluetooth.

Homemade LowFi Digital Camera

Very cool!!! I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a ‘Lomo’ mod, as there are no Lomo camera parts in it and the lens is a magnitude of quality better then any plastic that has ever graced a toy camera body. Still, the effects are rather stylistic. Take a cheap Vivitar digital camera, [...]

36 fixed focus cell phone cameras and a peak sensing accelerometer make for a novel way of taking a 360 degree panoramic image. ”We used the camera to capture full spherical panoramas at scenic spots, in a crowded city square and in the middle of a group of people taking turns in throwing the [...]
