Leap Motion Control Device | IamJuanC

Quit clicking and tapping like it's 1999. If you're looking for a way to control your computer via natural movements, look no farther than the Leap Motion Control Device ($80). Based on proprietary technology, this sleek, compact motion sensor sits on your desk in front of your monitor, creating a 3D interaction space of 8 cubic feet that is 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market — the difference between waving your arm and signing PDFs in the air with an actual pencil.

The New Fastest Helicopter on Earth Flies at Over 300 MPH | IamJuanC

The new Eurocopter X3 set new precedents for helicopters, hitting a new cruising speed of 293 mph and topping out at 302 mph during a descent. Based on the Eurocopter EC155, the X3 is a hybrid helicopter that is outfitted with a pair of short wings with propellers in addition to its five-blade main and tail rotors. These added propellers help provide up to 80 percent of the craft’s lift and are, together with the rotors, powered by two 2270 HP Rolls-Royce Turbomeca RTM322 turboshaft engines.

Former CEO of Eurocopter Lutz Bertling anticipates the X3 seeing a future market for commuting passengers due to its speed combined with a low noise level relative to planes:

“Helicopters can fly relatively fast and the noise footprint for people living around the airport is relatively similar to current traffic noise, so vertical lift can still play a role in commuting people, providing you can design an aircraft that delivers higher speed at reasonable cost. I believe we could well see the first serial products which could do the job with a smaller number of passengers—say 19 seats—at the beginning of the 2020s, and I could imagine seeing larger aircraft with 30-40 seats in the mid-’20s.”

Philips DesignLine LED 3D TV | IamJuanC

When it’s turned off, it looks like a black-to-transparent gradient mirror in the living room. When it’s on, Philips‘ DesignLine LED 3D TV is a cutting-edge, razor-sharp, supermodel-thin entertainment hub. As television continues to evolve, Philips has taken an artistic, minimalist approach to how we consume media, creating their newest TV in the form of a glass sheet. The DesignLine can stand, hang, or lean on any wall (thanks to a newly developed mounting system) and seamlessly connects to home networks to access online content. As early as the second quarter of 2013, Philips’ DesignLine could be available to European and Russian markets in 46″ and 55″ options.

Samsung Galaxy S4 | IamJuanC

Samsung continues to vie with Apple for smartphone supremacy with the new Galaxy S4. Featuring a 5-inch AMOLED panel boasting 441 ppi for unparalleled clarity, the S4 aims to be the definitive multimedia smartphone. Ensuring that the crisp display doesn’t go to waste, the phone boasts a powerful 2GB RAM and will be running Android 4.2.2. Weighing at 130 grams, the S4 is 0.7 mm thinner and 3 grams lighter than its forerunner – impressive considering its larger screen and battery. Improving its camera with f/2.2 aperture and autofocus, the S4 gets a bump to 13 megapixels for the rear-facing camera and 2 megapixels for the front-facing camera – which ties into a dual video call mode which allows callers to see what you’re looking at during video calls. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is set to hit stores globally at the end of April, in black and white with other hues in later months. There’s currently no price tag for this flagship, but we’re sure it’ll be worth the asking price.

Me personally not a fan I'm #TeamiPhone all day but I guess cool phone. -JuanC

A Look into the Future with Google Glass | IamJuanC

Much like any piece of technology reminiscent of something seen in a retro edition of Star Trek, the Google Glass raises an eyebrow of apprehension — a gimmicky looking device that instantly abolishes any notion of style before seeking out its function. Once explored however, the Google Glass — an eyeglass hailed as the next era of computing — may actually change the way we interact. Now in its early prototype stages, the wearable computer is being put to the test after only 18 months of product experimentation and around three years in concept. Explored first hand by theverge.com’s Joshua Topolsky, the Google Glass clearly paves a way for users to connect with each other and technology like never before, and in a hands-free, easy-to-communicate manner — another step closer to the future depicted by bygone science fiction scenes. Watch the above video to fully explore the first ever look at the Google Glass
