Real-Life Instagram Camera on the way?

It was a concept last year, but this time it doesn’t look like a conceptual design but a real-life Instagram camera – to be called Socialmatic. Socialmatic and Polaroid is planning on releasing this device next year – a camera where you capture, choose filters and posted them up to your social media or print it out directly.

Technical specifications include: an Instagram icon-shaped body, lens, touchscreen and printer. According to Antonio De Rosa, CEO of Socialmatic: “We are so proud to work together with C & A and Polaroid, giants of digital photography. It’s been a long and difficult negotiation but we were strongly motivated to reach an agreement to create a small revolution in digital photography. This mix of Hardware and Software, together with our brand new photo social network will fill the gap between virtuality and reality.”

According to the inventor, “The Minuum layout is simply a continuum of letters, laid out in a row. We call it ‘one-dimensional’ because it’s based on one row of keys.

Lumoback lets you sit or stand straight

Lumoback is the first posture sensor and mobile application to support healthy backs. Strapping it around your waist, its posture sensor will gently vibrates when you slouch from your lower back, reminding you to sit or stand straight. It is compatible to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad via Bluetooth – download the app and connect it and it will track your movements wirelessly and gives you feedback. Priced at $149.

LUMOback is highly sensitive at measuring lower back spinal posture. In most cases, poor lower back posture such as slouching, leads to poor neck and upper back posture. By correcting lower back posture, LUMOback will help correct many cases of poor neck and upper back posture. However, there are cases in which poor neck and upper back posture occur in isolation without abnormal lower back posture. Future products from LUMO BodyTech will address these less common cases. With a single sensor solution, the lower back location addresses the majority but not all cases of poor spinal posture.
