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.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

To keep Apex Legends running for an additional “10 to 15 years,” Respawn opens a third studio

Apex Legends developer Respawn has created a third studio in order to keep the popular battle royale genre running for another “10 to 15 years”. Madison, Wisconsin is where the new studio is situated.

This third studio (the first two being headquartered in Los Angeles and Vancouver) will largely focus on Apex Legends in order to ensure a continuous and, most importantly, sustainable production pipeline. It may, however, contribute to other Respawn products in the future. Ryan Burnett, who previously served as director of engine production at Epic Games and had a distinguished 14-year career at Raven Software, the Call of Duty Studio, will serve as the studio’s head.

Senior VP of operations at Respawn, Daniel Suarez, claims in-depth in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that “Because we intend to stick with this for the long haul, team health is unquestionably a top priority for us. We’re eager to see Apex become a franchise that endures for ten, fifteen, or more years because we think it will. We can’t just accomplish everything at once, exhaust ourselves, and be unprepared to do it over the long run.”

Consistency (as well as adequate production runway) are essential to make Apex Legends’ 90-day turnaround for new seasons of content realistic. Suarez observes that the introduction of new characters to the game takes a lot longer than you might anticipate “It takes us between a year and a year and a half to become proficient in a Legend. We are therefore making preparations well in advance.”

Only a few weeks ago, parent company EA fired more than 200 Apex Legends quality assurance testers in an impromptu Zoom call, raising concerns among some fans about the game’s future.

Do you support Respawn’s decision to open a third studio? Do you believe Apex Legends will still be around in 15 years?
