New hybrid mouse LG Smart Scan LSM-100 comes with built-in scanner

We already wrote about hybrid devices, and you probably remember Canon X Mark I Mouse, a mouse that comes with built-in calculator. Today we have another mouse, but unlike Canon X Mark I Mouse, this mouse comes with a built-in scanner.


LG announced Smart Scan LSM-100 at IFA, and what makes Smart Scan LSM-100 so special is that it comes with a built-in scanner. Scanning process is rather simple, and in order to scan any type of document, you just need to hold the Smart Scan button on the left side of the mouse and swipe the mouse over the document that you wish to scan. As for the scanned images, they can be saved in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XLS, and DOC format, or they can be simply dragged and dropped into the desired application. As for the page size, LG Smart Scan LSM-100 can scan pages up to A3 size, and thanks to the LG’s Optical Character Recognition technology, it converts scanned text into a Microsoft Word document.

Photo filters are coming to Facebook ?

After a recent privacy and sharing update on Facebook, Facebook is working hard on new improvements, and according to the reports, this update will  focus on photos and photo filters.


Facebook seems determent to add photo filters support, and after failing to acquire Instagram, it seems that Facebook is developing its own filters. As for the Instagram, it’s an app similar to Hipstamatic or PicPlz, and it allows you to add all sorts of filters such as grain and desaturation to your pictures before sharing them online with your friends. So far, we don’t know whether photo filters will be a native part of Facebook, or will they be available through specific app, but we expect them to be a huge hit.

Rob “Eyeborg” Spence: The first man with wireless camera instead of eye

We have seen all sorts of medical implants and prosthetics that could improve the lives people with certain medical conditions, and speaking of which, today we want to introduce you to Eyeborg.

Rob Spence, also known as Eyeborg, lost his eye due to the accident, and ever since then, Rob has been working with the team of engineers to develop a camera replacement for his lost eye. Together they have managed to transform an endoscope into a working video camera that is placed inside of Rob’s eye socket. As for this camera, it transmits the wireless video signal to a handheld LCD viewer wirelessly, and Rob turns the camera by moving the magnet in front of the camera. So far, this camera isn’t connected to Rob’s brain, but someday scientists might find a way to do that.
