Lumu Is A Digital Light Meter For Photographers That Plugs Into Your iPhone & Tells You What Camera Settings To Use
Author: Jade Kim
Meet Lumu: a digital light meter for photographers that plugs into the iPhone’s headphone jack as a smaller and smarter replacement for traditional analogue light meters. It’s used in conjunction with Lumu’s app — being demoed in prototype here at hardware alley at Disrupt NY – to help photographers figure out the best camera settings for their current location.
Lumu is not going to help you take better photos on your iPhone — it’s a tool for standalone cameras that have ISO, aperture and shutter speed parameters that can be manually set. The startup, which hails from Slovenia in Europe, plans to kick off a Kickstarter funding campaign in about a month. The Lumu device will cost $ 99.
“It’s the world’s smartest light meter,” says co-founder Benjamin Polovic. “The existing light meters are large, bulky and very expensive. With Lumu, the main processing is done on the iPhone, so we use the iPhone’s power. It also doesn’t use any batteries, it’s powered from the iPhone.
“You take your iPhone or your iPod and plug it in and it’s going to recognise it, and it sets all of the parameters for your unique environment. So you put in your ISO that you use in your film or your digital camera, the aperture you want to use and then it calculates the time.”
The photographer then needs to manually input the suggested settings into their camera but Polovic says the group is thinking about making a Bluetooth dongle so settings can be wirelessly sent to a digital camera. “We’re excited to get some ideas from Kickstarter when the campaign launches,” he added.
As well as showing the light level and exposure value for the current lighting conditions, the app lets users store pre-sets for individual geotagged locations so they can easily revisit them later. It will also include an auto mode, and a filter-style feature that will tell users how to achieve effects such as bokeh (background blur).
Polovic said Lumu’s hope is to inspire more people to start digging down into their camera settings. ”We love photography, we want to make it better, we want to introduce it to people who don’t necessarily know how to use cameras because they are quite complex. We want to make it simple,” he says.
The startup has been developing Lumu for about four to five months, according to Polovic. Down the line, it plans to launch an SDK so developers can create other apps using the light sensor — giving the example of an app that wakes the iPhone’s owner when it starts getting light, for instance.

HP tells Chinese factories to stop raiding schools for cheap labor
Author: Stacey Cook
We know that HP’s Chinese sub-contractors take pleasure in an area of opera on the manufacturing line. Exactly what’s constantly been harder to identify though, is who those employees are and what work rights they have. In an effort to preempt the sort of headlines that have affected other brands, HP has actually issued brand-new guidelines to its Chinese partners– consisting of Foxconn– created to restrict the use of students and short-term workers and provide those people more control over their hours.
Pupils frequently seek work throughout trips, however schools near to factories have actually also been understood to press their pupils into handling changes during bouts of high demand– even if it’s to the detriment of their studies. That will not do for a global manufacturer that should be seen as education and learning friendly, so from now on “interns” will only be accepted for work that tallies with their course location, and the School Administrator will simply need to find his kickbacks in other places.

Robot fish glides out of Michigan State University, tells you if the water is clean
Author: Rod Sutherland
Autonomous fish may make great innovators, however it ends up that robot flippers are a substantial drain on battery life. Not an issue for Xiaobo Tan– he and a team of Michigan State College experts have actually built a robot fish that glides through the water. Tan states the equipment, called Grace (Gliding Robot ACE), swims too, but the continual flipper movement can kill the battery in just a couple of hours. “This is why we incorporated both mobility modes,” he described. “Such integration allows the robotic to adjust to various environments, from shallow streams to deep lakes.” Grace is created to search lakes and rivers for data to help cleaning efforts, and older prototypes have successfully found traces of petroleum in when ruined riverbeds. The redesigned robotic looks more like an aircraft than a fish, however it’s difficult to argue with results– the group says Grace ought to have the ability to glide through the water nearly forever. Look into the team’s news release after the break.
