Panasonic are going to create a 3D lens for digital cameras based on the micro four thirds format. This is a format developed jointly by Panasonic and Olympus used in micro system cameras. These cameras are also known as hybrid cameras and even compact digital SLR cameras by some. Although the last variation is not technically correct, as a digital SLR has a classic mirrored view finder where as a micro system camera does not.

The aim is to have the lens ready for distribution to the public by the end of this year. The lens will work by recording two image paths, which it will then project on to the left and right of the cameras sensor. These separate images will then be combined later to create the 3D effect.

You can display these images using 3D compatible devices, such as 3D televisions that Panasonic also produce. After making some impressive progress into the 3D market following the release of other 3D devices Panasonic expects the trend to continue. Having already done well with their VIERA 3D televisions and 3D Blu-ray players Panasonic see’s the manufacture of devices that can record in 3D as the next step.

Of course many of the latest movies are available in 3D such as the hugely successful Avatar and Toy’s Story 3. With the demand for 3D so high Panasonic are hoping that they will become the forerunner in 3D technology. Whether this transpires remains to be seen but for now Panasonic seem to be making all the right moves.

No matter if you rent an office in New Your or have serviced offices London that are some great office gadgets you can use to make your day a little more interesting. Some of the cool gadgets I have been experimenting with recently include some nifty little sports games designed to go on your desk. Just be careful when the boss is in town unless he/she likes a bit of desktop bowling! This is a great little game that lets you bring the fun of bowling to your work space. Supplied with a little a ramp for rolling the ball down this game is all about accuracy!

Another of my favourites is desktop ping ping. Not much explanation needed here; the game uses sucker pads to attach the net onto almost any surface and away you go. I will say that this game takes quite a bit of skill to master due to the size of the paddles, so put that work down and get practising!

If your more in to your tech style gadgets then some nice little inventions that I have spotted include an iPhone solar battery charger, miniature vacuum cleaner for your keyword and the eco button. In particular the eco button is good for those of you who are jumping on the environmentally friendly band wagon. The eco button makes it really easy to save energy at the office, which I’m sure will please those dealing with the finances. It works by attaching to your computer through a USB cord, providing a large illuminated button one press will put your computer into energy saving mode which is great for when you have to rush off for lunch or are taking a phone call.

These are just a few of the office gadgets available there are plenty more for you to experiment with, which you can find using a quick search on the internet.

Air conditioning systems have proliferated into everyday life for many in recent years. It is now common place to units in many UK homes and even in the most basic of new cars. This phenomenon has been occurring gradually since commercial air con systems were made widely available back in the 1980s and they have grown in popularity ever since. Although air con is seen as somewhat of a luxury in this country, it is absolutely essential in the balmy Mediterranean climates of Spain, Italy or Greece where temperatures can exceed 40 degrees in the height of summer.

As global warming takes hold air con will become more and more of a necessity as the UK’s weather system becomes more like that of it’s continental cousins. Simple economics dictates that as demand increases, so will price, meaning now would be a great time to invest a unit for your home or office. Gone are the days when air con systems were cumbersome and consumed a whole room in the house. Today’s setups are much more streamlined and efficient.

There are numerous options now available to suit a range of different environments, portable air conditioners offer a huge degree of usability and are a great alternative to fixed systems such as window air conditioners for when you want to use air con seasonally or only in one room. The Air Curtains is a new product which encroaches even less on your personal space by hanging above a door frame and keeping cold air out of heated areas or hot air out of chilled spaces.

For a small initial outlay you can alleviate yourself of much of the grief and discomfort associated with being in a hot or stuffy environment. There is nothing worse than trying to work while drenched in sweat or not being able to sleep due to the heat. Commercial Air conditioners have come a long way since their inception and now come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. For you, all of this means you can enjoy the heat of the summer months whilst still being able to work rest and play in comfort.
