When it comes to the iPhone’s camera, it has long reigned as the undisputed champion of cameras found in smartphones, although new challengers such as the Galaxy S3 as well as the slightly older HTC One series are worth their salt as well, especially with the latter being able to capture stills while you are recording a video simultaneously. Well, what are some of the ways where you are able to extend the functionality of an iPhone camera? Why, throwing in its fair share of accessories, that’s what! With the $79.95 iPhone 360 Degree Panoramic Video Lens, it pretty much says it all.

You will soon be able to shoot some great looking panoramic shots and video, thanks to a similar technology that is found in U.S. Army surveillance cameras. This particular lens relies on a curved mirror which is capable of gathering light from all directions, where it will reflect it back into the iPhone’s camera so that video recording in all directions can happen simultaneously without the need for processor intensive image stitching afterwards. Each purchase comes with a free app that will automatically calibrate the focus, adjust the exposure, and enable you to pan and tilt the viewing perspective up to 360º on the horizontal plane and up to 80º on the vertical plane. I expect to see more creative shots on your Facebook account after getting this!

Useless Box Kit

Posted: 07 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Are redundant gadgets worth looking into? I suppose so, especially in this day and age when our lives are extremely stressful (for those of us who are in high pressure job situations, that is), it makes perfect sense to let go and laugh a whole lot once in a while. Having a gizmo that basically does nothing might sound rather inane to some, but others could realize it to be some form of therapeutic gadget in a strange way. We are talking about the $39.99 Useless Box Kit here, where the name of the device itself is pretty much self-explanatory. After all, you are required to push a button to turn it on, and when that happens, it will turn itself off.

This is one fun (some say irritating) DIY electronics kit with just one primary function – that is, to turn it on and have you watch it turns itself off. It is more or less guaranteed that individual flip of the switch will cause onlookers to smile, although some of them might end up with a puzzled expression in the first place. Definitely ranks as one of the silliest electronics kits to date, and yet it is strangely attractive in its very own manner.
