3RDi the future of HD action camera – wear your camera everywhere
Are we the future Daleks? Two days ago an Indiegogo campaign was started by Michael Khalil the co-founder of 3rdiTEK, featuring a “revolutionary” new gadget called 3RDi. The 3RDi is supposed to be a wearable camera that will capture all important moments of our lives.
The “third eye” is to be worn around your forehead and has built-in action camera. Personally it reminds me of how Daleks were created as the camera looks like another eye in the middle of our foreheads. The device it’s designed to be as simple as possible containing an HD action camera, a microphone, a micro-SD card slot and an elegant LED flash. The wearable also has Bluetooth integrated and can be connected to your Android or iOS device.
The interesting feature of 3RDi is that if you want to take a still picture with flash, you only have to tap on the left side of the wearable where as if you want to take a still picture without flash you have to tap on the right side. As for recording a video you only have to slide forward on the sides and slide backwards to stop your recording.
The 3RDi’s mission is to make it easier to carry around an HD camera and also to record or capture important moments. 3RDi tech has a $250k goal on Indiegogo and expects a lot of support a positive feedback from people.
In my opinion the wearable does look geeky and I do believe people will like the idea but it freaks me out. Seeing a camera on the forehead of a person is not something I would like to face everyday. Although it might replace the annoying mobile phones that people always used at a concert.
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.
But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.
Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.
If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.
We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.
However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.
