Special Report: Capturing the Stars
Normally, taking great pictures of the night sky requires expensive equipment that tracks the movement of the stars. But recently, a major Japanese camera company has come out with a simple and affordable device that helps do away with all the conventional equipment.
Everyone would agree that photographs of the starlit sky look amazing. However, unfortunately, it may not be easy for anyone to take good photos, except for astronomy enthusiasts who build homemade observatory domes in their backyards.
Astrotracer by PENTAX RICOH IMAGING. It follows the movement of the stars when taken photographs. During the few minutes of exposure time, the camera calculates the movement of the stars, and the image sensor follows the movement.
We check out this exciting new device, made by astronomy fans for astronomy fans, and easy to use, even for beginners.
On Site: TECHNO-FRONTIER 2012
Because robots are a big business in Japan, some people consider it to be the land of robots. We sent reporter Brian Hughes to TECHNO FRONTIER 2012 to take a look at the industry's latest trends and related technologies.
Schedule: July 11-13
Location: Tokyo Big Sight
In this year's edition of TECHNO-FRONTIER, we observe how innovation is often the result of combining two unrelated technologies. For robots, this means combining sensors and actuators with networking technology.
We also take a look at how several of the exhibits are concerned with wireless charging and energy transfer - a technology with important implications as cell phones, computing devices, and electric vehicles become more and more prevalent.
Also, we check out one Japanese company that is getting ready to release a robot that will help with your chores around the house next summer.
Gadgets: Creating Art with Mathematics
Today we focus on a gadget geared for mathematical fans. It's actually a mathematical scheme made into a three-dimensional object by a small Japanese factory.
Join us on this mathematical journey into a world of 3D art.
High quality precision and beauty can be said to be the strong points of Japanese manufacturers, but the quality part could have originated from Japan's small factories. One example of this is the mathematical scheme art object, which might be a bit pricey, but is slowly but surely gaining a wide fan base.
This is the perfect example of craftsmen using their own skilled hands along with innovative machines to create high-quality products that delight the end users.
It is also creating quite a sensation in the world of Japanese small factories.
