Impressive Homemade Humanoid Transformer Costume

|

Fast payday loans For Every One

This is a short video demonstration of Youtube user derepentignymarc’s wearable homemade ‘Bolt’ Transformer costume. It doesn’t actually transform into anything, but the eyes and mouth parts move, the mask slides up and down automatically, and it has some light and smoke effects. Oh — and the arms can be moved via remote controlled. It really is pretty impressive. Way better than anything I could built. Hell, the last time I tried to build a Transformer I sliced my hand wide open on the top of a tuna can. It was BAD. Not only would it not stop bleeding, but if I pulled the two sides of skin apart you could see the tendons moving around in there if I bent my fingers. You light-headed yet? Cool, then I’ll make this easy for you: give me all your money and you won’t get hurt.

Author: Natalie Wood

This is a small gallery (plus video) of the Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Fists Terminator Captain Tancred costume created by Daniel Høgh and Justina Šniukštaitė of Roses and Boltshells, their cosplay prop manufacturing business. The outfit is predominately foam, so the wearer is actually able to move around in it, which is a pretty important aspect of a costume. Nobody wants to have to be pushed around on a handcart. Except me, I love that shit. I saw a girl in her 20′s sitting Indian-style in a shopping cart and being pushed around the grocery store by her friend yesterday. I didn’t say anything, but I was judging them hard in my mind. Mostly because I was jealous I didn’t have anybody to push me around in a cart. I was all, DAMMIT, YOU’RE TOO OLD FOR THAT. God I wish I was her.

Lumia_900_large

When Microsoft’s Frank X Shaw announced on Tuesday that more Windows Phone handsets than iPhones were shipping in seven markets, the question on the minds of market watchers was, “OK, which seven?” The answer, courtesy of The New York Times Bits Blog, is Argentina, India, Poland, Russia, South Africa, and Ukraine — along with a smaller group of countries (including Croatia) that falls under the banner of “rest of central and eastern Europe.” The numbers come from market research firm IDC, a representative of which further deflated Shaw’s claims by pointing out that three of the markets (Ukraine, South Africa, and “rest of”) amounted to less than 100,000 units apiece in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Check It Out Lifeloggers: First Memoto Camera Prototype Photos Show Impressive Image Quality

|

Author: Matthew Baker

The Memoto is a tiny camera that you wear which takes a photo every 30 seconds and automatically publishes it to an on-line service. It ’ s a dedicated lifelogger ’ s dream, if there is such a being out there. Now, the Kickstarter-funded gadget has flaunted its first official photos in a post and companion gallery uploaded today.

The photos from Memoto are taken from a working Memoto prototype, and they haven ’ t been touched with post-processing software, the company keeps in mind. It likewise guarantees to modify color saturation (to enhance it, which is what the children nowadays like in their elegant smartphone pics), and the exposure will additionally get some modifications to account for darker lighting environments. Memoto also prepares to refine sharpness and compression before the Memoto ships.

From what they ’ ve provided, I ’ d say the Memoto team is being excessively hard on itself: these pics compare favorably to a whole lot of smartphone cameras out there, even if they ’ re a little smaller sized in regards to resolution than most at 5 megapixels. Considering you ’ ll have 2,880 images over the course of a full 24 hours if you stick with the Memoto ’ s default setup of one picture snapped every 30 seconds, it ’ s probably for the finest that these are 5 megapixel (which is more than adequate for web resolution).

To recap for those who didn ’ t participate the Kickstarter project, the Memoto is simply 36x36x9mm, and attributes GPS on board to log the location of images. As soon as you plug it into a computer system, it links to the Memoto service and uploads the images. It likewise has a built-in accelerometer to help it correctly orient images no matter exactly what the angle, and it has space on board for 4,000 images. Apps for iPhone and Android let you see your cloud-stored photos anywhere you are.

Memoto might make or break itself based on image quality, and these first images from a production prototype are promising because regard. The business sadly won ’ t make its preliminary projected ship date of March, however wishes to start automation in April. Ideally those hardcore lifeloggers out there can somehow manage for an additional month without documenting their every waking minute.
