Polaroid comes out with a pair of Camera Glasses? Sounds a bit crazy, but since they collaborated with Lady Gaga for the GL20 Camera Glasses, that kind of explains it. We’re not quite sure how practical these are, but the GL20 is basically a pair of oversized shades fitted with a camera lens in the middle and two LCD screens fixed in front of where your eyes should be.
Polaroid has released their Digital Camera App on iTunes. While it won’t get you the nifty instant photo prints you always related with the brand (blame Apple for not installing a photo printer into their devices), it does offer a choice of 30 different filters and borders.
You know what the problem is with owning the best camera in the group? You’re usually the photographer who rarely appears in the group photos. Probably not much of a big deal since you’re obviously more interested in being the guy behind the cam—that much was obvious as soon as you bought that DSLR cam—but in case you want to change all that, here’s a handy accessory that’ll let you control your cam remotely using an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Called BlueSLR, this accessory basically adds a Bluetooth connection to your DSLR cam so you can wirelessly hook it up with any of the supported devices.
If you don’t mind the possibility of messing up or losing a couple of perfectly fine gadgets, here’s how you get your kid interested in science. A father from Brooklyn and his son wanted to send an HD camera into space and film the “blackness beyond our earth.” So how’d they do it? They built an enclosure out of a takeout box, tied it to a weather balloon, set the camera to record, and used an iPhone 4’s GPS to retrieve it. Needless to say, the backyard launch was a success: After reaching a height of about 19 miles above the earth, the balloons burst, the cushioned cam and iPhone fell back to earth with help from a parachute (it fell around 30 miles outside New York), and we get to watch more than six minutes of awesome footage. Video after the break.
