3D position sensing could see wide application use

Beyond Kinect, PrimeSense wants to drive 3D sensing into more everyday consumer gear | VentureBeat.

We already see 3D sensing in Kinect and to some extent its used in smart phones and tablets. New technology intends to make it possible to sense a large amount of position information – to create new kinds of user interfaces, and for retail surveillance (systems that watch what each shopper touches within a store).

Kodak Pixpro S1 Micro Four Thirds Camera Coming Soon.

Kodak has licensed their brand name to JK Imaging, who will be introducing a new interchangeable lens micro four thirds, Kodak-branded camera, later in 2013. The camera will include Wi-Fi and simple connectivity to smart phones for social sharing.

Polaroid introduced an Android-based smart phone that will, by spring, accept micro four thirds lenses too. The Polaroid camera is different in that the image sensor is located in the camera lens, not the body, and will be located inside a micro four thirds adapter. The camera is manufactured by Sakar (based in New Jersey, and known also for the Vivitar brand name).
