Commander V Binoculars with Compass

Commander V Binoculars with Compass 07/30/2004 11:41 AM

The new Steiner Commander V Binoculars are not night-vision equipment, despite claims that nighttime images are "so brilliant, it's almost like turning on a spotlight." Instead, the "Nighthunter" optics deliver a high rate of peak light transmission (96%; a record, they say) that means these military-spec binocs transmit as much available light as possible into your own orbs, making the most of ambient star- and moonlight. Built-in autofocus with memory means you can recall settings from previous viewings instantly, and an integrated compass shows you what direction you're looking. Although there's nothing saying you have to use them to skipper a boat, a water-resistance tested up to five meters means they're more than suitable for the purpose.

Of course, I'd hope most $900 pairs of binoculars would be.

NTT DoCoMo's Object-Recognition
Binoculars 03/28/2005 01:22 PM

NTT DoCoMo is showing off a set of binoculars equipped with object-recognition capability. The binocs identify certain objects and uses image acquisition to display pertinent details about whatever you're staring at. The examples they offer include looking at a passing plane and seeing the flight number and destination displayed in the eyepiece, or looking at a flower and having its name shown to you. This sort of technology could make its way into camera phones and the like, perhaps affording us an automatic photo-tagging system somewhere down the road.

Of course, we're happy to aimlessly pontificate about this technology since we have no idea how they actually work.

Bushnell Instant Replay Binoculars

Bushnell Instant Replay Binoculars
Reviewed 09/17/2004 02:39 PM

Someday someone is going to get one of these digital camera/binocular hybrids right and have a hit product on their hands, but manufacturers' continual insistance to make the camera lens seperate from the binoculars really futzes up what could otherwise be a fantastic product. Take these Bushnell Instant Replay binocs, for instance, as reviewed by KC's David Twiddy. It's not a cheapo device - Bushnell is a major binocular brand - but it still doesn't take images of what you're actually seeing through the binoculars (and has a crappy shutter speed, too, it sounds like), so no matter how many flip-up LCD screens and Compact Flash slots it has, it's still fundamentally flawed. (Thanks, JP!)

Relative Font Sizing

Relative Font Sizing 07/16/2002 11:47 AM
In the fall of 2000, Jeffrey Zeldman famously said that relative font sizing was impossible ("pixels, baby... or nothing") because of an overwhelming variety of browser bugs, starting with Netscape 4 and ending in the most modern browsers. Since then, Netscape 4 still hasn't gotten any better, and it still hasn't gone away, but at least the design community has learned a thing or two about taming the browsers and making relative font sizing a reality.

This page uses absolute font sizes in Netscape 4, but relative font sizes in newer browsers that can handle it. There is no Javascript, no multiple stylesheets to maintain. In fact, this page in entirely self-contained; all CSS is defined in a single <style> element at the top of the page. -- Mark Pilgrim

Wierd, wacky, mysterious. You could go mad trying to understand this.

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone 11/04/2003 07:06 PM
We've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright. In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset makers to offer multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly) over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will cost lots of money and anger many people.
