Nikon have released their new line of KeyMission action cameras, and I should be getting my hands on all three of them. I’ll be poring over their details in a little while, but here’s a quick rundown on what they offer. This new camera lineup offers users a hands-free way to document their adventures through high-quality […]
360 Degree Video Inside 2GB Radio Studios
Last weekend I brought along my LG 360 Cam to record a short segment at my weekly program with Susie Elelman at the 2GB studios in Pyrmont, Sydney. The LG 360 Cam is a great example of the simple, well designed commodity end of the 360 recording market. I picked it up for US$199 at […]
The Best Hidden Feature of the Galaxy S7
Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference. In my case, it’s a feature that only just came to my attention on the Samsung Galaxy S7. I don’t know about about you, but I often receive annoying telemarketing calls on my mobile phone, let alone my home phone. Well, it turns out that Samsung has […]
Insta360 4K 360 Camera Review
As many of you would know, I’m quite the fan of 360 camera technology, especially with its relationship to VR and Google Cardboard content. I’ve had a lot of fun with the V.360 sports 360 degree camera around the beautiful sights of Sydney, even so far as attaching the 360 camera to my scooter and […]
Aftershokz Bone Conduction Headphones
Augmented reality is a very interesting field. I’ve been wandering the streets lately with my Here Active Listening earbuds, changing audio waveforms, lowering and increasing the sounds of the world around me, even blocking the world’s noise out. The ability to have that amount of control, in real time, is incredibly satisfying. The flipside […]
Alexa Is An Echo Of The Future
Sometimes you stumble upon a product or concept that causes you to rethink an existing perception or opinion. Take bluetooth speakers. They are pretty benign, non invasive products that serve a purpose – to stream music that you own, in close quarters to your person. On the surface, the Amazon Echo is a bluetooth speaker, […]

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Review
I’ve been following Samsung’s progression through being a player in the Android smartphone market to being almost as obsessed over as Apple’s iPhone. While their earlier incarnations were criticised for being too plasticky, and oft-times too heavily laden with bloatware, Samsung have not been afraid to return each year with phones that responded to […]
A Virtual World Of Opportunity – The Business of VR
I’m dangling off the edge of an airborne helicopter, watching wildlife scatter as we pass over them in a flurry of sound and wind. I look back at the running wildebeests as we fly low and fast. I look up and see the helicopter rotor blades and wonder why I can’t feel a blast of […]
Samsung Gears Up For Virtual Success
If you follow my Youtube channel or this website, you’ll know I’m pretty excited about the emergence of virtual reality and 360 cameras. Aside from Google Cardboard (which I’ve documented many times), I’ve been most impressed with the combination of the Samsung Gear VR with their Galaxy S6 line up (along with the Note 4 […]
