Olympus Ad For PEN Camera Makes 3D Marketing Fun
I don’t often play around with advertising, but Olympus’ virtual ad for it’s new PEN E-PL1 camera is pretty fun. Go to www.getolympus.com/PEN3d and download a paper cutout of the camera (you can get it here). Install a plugin, and when you hold the paper camera up to your iSight webcam it turns into a 3D
Repair service finds iPad’s camera slot
Filed under: Hardware , Portables , Rumors The folks at Mission:Repair have received iPad replacement parts from Apple. While checking them out, they noticed a slot that seems like it could accommodate an iSight . So they pulled an iSight camera from a MacBook pro and guess what happened. It fit perfectly inside the slot in the iPad’s frame. In the picture at right, you see the iPad’s frame (above and below) and the MacBook Pro’s iSight (center).
DIY iSight night vision camera
Filed under: Hardware , Cool tools , Hacks , How-tos , Tips and tricks Now that most all Apple computers come with their own built-in iSight, the standalone iSight has taken a bit of a back seat. It always was a gorgeous piece of Apple art, though, and I really wanted to use it in a functional way. An easy way was to attach it to the Mac mini I have in the baby’s room, acting as a video baby monitor , but the iSight doesn’t do that well in low light, and of course works not at all in no light. And while the audio was just fine, there are some neat new “push on motion” capabilities in camera monitoring software that I liked. It will even record on motion, thanks to today’s update. “Night vision” is predicated on the idea that infrared light bounces off of objects the same way that any other kind of light does, only that our eyes can’t see IR light

The mighty mini, take two: DIY video baby monitor
Filed under: Video , Cool tools , How-tos , Mac mini , iPhone What do you get when you combine a new parent on maternity leave with a love of gadgets and Apple products? Why, you get “baby monitor overkill!” In response to Dave Caolo ‘s recent ode to the Mac mini , I figured it was time to step up. I had two things gathering dust: my old standalone iSight , a gorgeous example of Apple design sadly idle since the advent of built-in iSights, and a lovely new Intel Mac Mini that was recently scored on sale at MicroCenter with plans to set it up for my older two kids once I could get my hands on a small LCD monitor. I figured in the meantime it would serve nicely as a baby monitor, since I couldn’t find a matching transmitter/receiver pair among the various baby monitors I had accumulated over the years. My idea was that it would live discreetly, headless and tailless (monitor, keyboard, and mouse-free) in the baby’s room, and broadcast both locally on my network and also wide-area so grandparents could tune in remotely. For the initial setup, I needed a monitor, but fortunately my TV has a PC (VGA) port, which I used to configure the mini
