Leap motion introduced tracking of hands and fingers, and now we have the new generation in Ultraleap 3Di. Metter resolution and support for Unity and Unreal. Reportedly can also be combined with existing screen interaction by mimicking an alternative mouse.

We now have a Insta360 X4, action camera. Packed with quality for your 360 degree documenting, action recording needs! Also useful to get a 360 degree image to use as a realistic lightsource in your 3D modelling environment.

The latest addition to the technology library is an Android based Samsung Galaxy watch 6. It’s chock-full of sensors: Accelerometer,Barometer,Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Sensor,Electrical Heart Sensor,Gyro Sensor,Geomagnetic Sensor,Hall Sensor,Infrared Temperature Sensor,Light Sensor,Optical Heart Rate Sensor

It’s been some time since the interaction lab had opportunity to purchase a cool gadget. But after TD have explored the VR googles Quest 3 for 3D modelling and visualisation it was time to get a few for more generic exploration and experimentation. At the time of writing there isn’t much support on an advanced level, but the goggles have a couple of demos, games and the 3D drawing software Gravity sketch installed which is plenty to experience and explore for those that have never tried it.

We now have one of Samsungs foldable phones. It’s stupid expensive, but considering the interesting move to a soft screen that can be shaped it seemed like something that students might want to take a closer look at for possible future design ideas.

Stemoscope is a small wireless listening device that in combination with an app on your phone is designed to listen to the sounds of your body. Pulse, breathing, cracking joints, the possibilities are endless. And that’s just following the instructions. What other seemingly quiet things could you listen to? Growing plants? Vibrations in the ground?

We can now offer an iPhone 13 Pro to borrow. It has even more advanced cameras and sensors, most notable is perhaps LiDAR which with the right apps can be used for low light footage and 3D scanning.

A set of bluetooth headphones where the sound is projected into the ears in a way that leaves your ear canals open to hear the environment as well. It is, however, NOT real bone conducting technology. But still kinda neat experience.

A small projector with surprisingly powerful light considering it’s size. Mounting point that suits camera mounts (tripod, magic arm, etc).
