First, there’s the Looxcie (look-see), which will change the way we share our lives. Looxcie is an easy-to-wear camcorder that videos everything the user sees. A Bluetooth-enabled headset, Looxcie fits over the ear and points where the user looks. Because it’s always on, always videoing, users never have to worry about pressing a record button or missing a key event. When an unexpected moment occurs, a press of the instant clip button on the Looxcie captures the last 30 seconds of video and stores it as a permanent video clip on the device. Users can immediately share their clips by email. The camcorder retails for $200 from Amazon.com.
Looxcie also records as a standard camcorder in full-motion, 480p when paired with the LooxcieCam mobile app or when used as a standalone device. Looxcie is supported by a smartphone application that turns almost any 2.2 or higher Android smartphone or iPhone iOS 4.2 and higher, into a viewfinder, remote control and editing tool for creating video clips up to 30 minutes in length. Clips can also be uploaded to a Mac or PC via the USB connector for archiving, viewing, editing or additional sharing. An Instant Share feature in the Looxcie allows users to pr-program an Instant Share recipient so that when the user “long-presses” the instant clip button, Looxcie automatically sends the clip to the pre-determined email address.
In the first half of this year, Looxcie Inc. plans to launch a live video streaming service that will leverage the Looxcie video camera and allow users to capture live video from their point of view and stream it across mobile networks and Wi-Fi, to single or multiple viewers. Users will be able to stream “see-what-I-see” personal video casts to share with others, creating an immersive, real-time experience for viewers no matter where they are. The only one who won’t be in the video is the wearer. Say goodbye to privacy.
The next tiny tech gadget to highlight today is from Fujitsu and it’s one of the world’s smallest document scanners. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 is an ultra-portable scanner, weighing just over 12 ounces and featuring a sleek style that allows it to fit into a briefcase and digitize documents anywhere. The ScanSnap S1100 works with either a PC or Mac and utilizes a special paper path system and fast front-side color scanning functionality to scan contracts, receipts, business cards and even plastic IDs. The ScanSnap S1100 is powered by a USB cable, converts scanned data into searchable PDF files and even allows users to transform paperwork into editable Word and Excel files. It retails for about $200.
Finally, take a look at the Sony Ericsson LiveView micro display with remote control functionality. It’s compatible with five Xperia handsets and is able to mirror the activities of these compatible mobile phones. LiveView uses Bluetooth connectivity to wirelessly pair up to a compatible handset and allows consumers to control the phone without taking it out of a pocket or handbag. Use LiveView to read text messages, see incoming calls and keep up to date with the latest news on Facebook and Twitter.
LiveView also allows the user to control the Sony Ericsson music features of the handset from the micro display, selecting tracks and controlling volume.  Additionally, the product serves as a calendar reminder, displaying calendar events and other phone applications. LiveView can be worn attached to a watch strap or clipped to a shirt placket, backpack strap or laptop. It increases safety while improving connectivity because the expensive smartphone that it’s paired with stays out of sight. The micro display retails for $100.
