Best New Device

I would like to discuss the advancing market of P.O.V (point of view) video cameras. Im sure we already know that GoPro pretty much dominates the market as far as portable cameras go. However, there is somewhat of a new high definition camera that is starting to emerge that allows individuals to record high definition without even holding a camera. This is called video camera sunglasses. Video camera sunglasses aren't entirely new, and they aren't super popular yet either, that is partly because Go Pro and other portable cameras have pretty much run the show, and because video camera sunglasses have just recently gone full 1080p HD.

One brand in particular that sticks out is called pivothead (http://pivothead.com/). Not only do they make a stylish pair of sunglasses, but they just happened to throw a video camera in it that takes 1080p video. The camera specs on this thing are hardly behind the GoPro HD hero camera (http://pivothead.com/?page_id=61).

A market for these video camera sunglasses hasn't quite emerged yet, however, i think they might steal some business away from other portable video camera companies. For the individual who really wants to be able to shoot video on the go without having to pull out or set up a camera, you can really just push a button and the camera pretty much sees what the individual wearing the glasses sees. The product is extremely convenient in that regard. It almost literally defines the point of view camera.

As far as convergence goes, this camera is about just as far as all the other portable cameras. This brand in particular is not wifi enabled, so you cannot communicate with the camera wirelessly via smartphone or computer, but there are other brands that do offer a wireless remote (http://vulcantechnology.com/products/).

looking to the future, the video camera sunglasses have a lot of potential. My personal thoughts would be using the actual glass on the glasses themselves to be able to playback video, so the one wearing them can watch the video they just played. Also, some type of eye monitoring system where the glasses can pick up where the eyes are looking and record literally what the eye sees. Who knows though.
