Thanks for all the Happy Birthday greetings! Yep, today’s the day. I was hoping to hit 10,000 Twitter followers by my birthday. I’m close, but not quite there. If you want to follow me, thanks! www.twitter.com/thegizwiz
Today’s Turn The Table Tuesday gadget was suggested by a fan of the Daily Giz Wiz. He was sure that when Leo heard there was a Bluetooth camera he could wear in his ear - one that was shooting video all the time -- it would be a sale. And he was right. Leo ordered the Looxcie Wearable Camcorder before I got to the end of reading the email. (I have to find that email too, so I can give the sender credit!) Looxcie is always on, continuously videoing – there's no record button. When you experience something you want to share, just click the Instant Clip button to save a clip of the last thirty seconds. The object is that you’ll never miss an important moment because you recorded it instead of wishing you could find your camera. Set up is easy. Place the camera in your ear. It comes with an assortment of earbuds for perfect fit. Then use your Bluetooth enabled smartphone as the Looxcie viewfinder to make sure your Looxcie is level and pointing where you look. Once Looxcie is lined up with your sight, put your smartphone away and join the action. The company says: “It's impossible to predict when something memorable will happen. But everyone knows when it has. We call these Looxcie moments: those unexpected events you want to capture and share right away. With one click, Looxcie lets you save instant clips of the last thirty seconds of your life.” And it’s so easy to share! Before you go to an event or participate in an activity, you can set up Auto-Share recipients using the Looxcie App on your smartphone. Then you can share your experiences on the fly with the press of a button – Looxcie automatically sends a thirty-second video clip to your recipients in real time. You can stay in the action with Looxcie. But wait there’s more! It’s also a Bluetooth headset for your phone. It has Active Noise Cancellation to eliminate ambient noise so people can hear you clearly, no matter where you are. It optimizes sound for video while you're videoing and for calls while you're on a call. And the cost? $199.99.
