<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A new service is promising to end the uncertainty of how clothes will look or fit when shopping on the web. Fitle aims to provide users with a 3D avatar of themselves with which to "try on" clothes online. The company says it will eventually offer the world's largest clothes database via partners.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A number of technologies have already been created aimed at helping people to judge the look at fit of clothes when shopping online. Fits.me is a solution developed for online retailers that allows people to input their measurements and dress a virtual mannequin to gauge clothing fit. Verisize, meanwhile, provides users with size equivalents across clothing brands.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">While these tools can be useful, Fitle says that it can create a 3D avatar of an individual that not only looks like them, but that is morphologically exact. Indeed, it claims to provide a 99 percent accurate representation of the user.</span></div>
<div class="article_img" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; height: 259px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 0px; width: 530px;">
<a href="http://www.gizmag.com/fitle-3d-clothing-avatar/33167/pictures#1" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="User need only provide their height and four photos to create their 3D avatar" src="http://images.gizmag.com/inline/fitle-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="530" /></span></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fitle avatars are created using the height measurement of a user and four photos of them. An algorithm is used to extract more than 50 parameters based on how a user looks, while another is used to create a 3D reconstruction of the user. Fitle says the end results are photo-realistic.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The company also uses its recognition and reconstruction algorithms to digitize clothing from its partners. By doing so, Fitle says it is able to generate "accurate 3D versions of clothes based on their dimensions, size and material," and that users can therefore be confident that the look and fit of the clothes on their avatars will be true to life.</span></div>
<div class="article_img" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; height: 259px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 0px; width: 529px;">

<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Amongst the other benefits that Fitle says its technology will provide is the ability to show users only clothes that will fit them and that match their style, based on previous purchases. Users can scan the barcode of existing clothes to see what they would look like when paired with online items, if the existing item has already been digitized. Clothes can also be saved to a virtual wardrobe in order to try out different outfits or to see how certain items will match with potential purchases in the future.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fitle says that it has the catalogs of over 250 partner brands already digitized. Partner catalogs are kept up-to-date with new items, changes in price and product availability.</span></div>
<div class="article_img" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; height: 259px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 0px; width: 529px;">

<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The company is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the industrialization of its 3D clothes modeling process, to increase its partner network, to further improve its accuracy and to run beta testing of the technology. Individuals can pledge to receive, amongst other things, a smartphone case, a watch or beta access to the site. The campaign looks set to miss its target, but Fitle says it will launch regardless. It is due to go live first in the US and France by February 2015.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When the Crazy Cart first launched in the USA, Canada and Australia last year, it made a huge splash. Not just for its awesome sideways drifting action, but because it featured quite frankly the best promotional video we've ever seen. Now, Razor has announced that its "ultimate drift machine" is available in the UK from August 1.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If that homage to the awesome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUO-lPubXeI" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Ken Block gymkhana videos</a> doesn't make your wallet start burning a hole in your pocket, we recommend you check your pulse!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Crazy Cart is a fairly simple concept. It has a small electric motor that drives a single wheel located in the center of the cart, towards the front. That wheel can be steered in 360 degrees using a small steering wheel, which features a little arrow that points in the direction the wheel is pointed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At the rear of the cart sits a pair of caster wheels. As you drive along, at a maximum speed of 12 mph (nearly 20 km/h), the caster effect on those rear wheels pulls the back of the cart into line with the front wheel, so you're always driving forward.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When you pull on the "drift bar" at the side, it tilts the rear caster wheels so the caster effect is almost zero, which means the cart is free to face in just about any direction, no matter which way the front wheel is driving. You can do anything from driving straight backwards, to extreme sideways drifting, to spinning crazily on the spot. You don't need to worry too much about tipping it over, thanks to a couple of extra anti-tip caster wheels at the front.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It looks like absolutely ridiculous fun, and a handy way to calibrate your brain to sideways driving if you're thinking of getting into drifting in a bigger machine.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Unfortunately, the current Crazy Cart can only handle riders up to 140 lb (64 kg) so it's more of a kids' fun machine. With a bit of luck Razor will pull its finger out and make one us bigger lads can ride.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Crazy Cart is available now in America, Canada and Australia, with those in the UK able to join the fun from August 1 for £499.99 (US$850).</span></div>

CaseCam lets you get in your own photos, using a flippin' mirror

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The CaseCam features a camera lens mirror that folds away when not needed " height="358" src="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/casecam.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ah yes, it's a problem for the ages. You want to be in a photo taken with your own unmanned smartphone, but you have no way of propping the phone up, or seeing what the shot looks like. Well, the CaseCam is designed to help. It allows a phone laid down on a flat surface to see what's in front of it, plus the accompanying app lets you see what it's seeing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_lrg/casecam-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The mirror also props the camera up, sort of like a tripod " border="0" height="212" src="http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_lrg/casecam-0.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The CaseCam is for the most part a standard polycarbonate protective iPhone case, with one exception – it has an integrated mirror. That mirror folds flat into the case when not in use, but flips up to sit diagonally below the camera lens when it's picture-taking time. When the phone is subsequently laid camera-side down, that mirror both lets the camera see what's in front of the phone, plus it angles it up kind of like a tripod.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Since the camera is looking at reversed images, the app inverts them to make them "right" again. The app also has an adjustable timer feature, plus it can be accessed via Wi-Fi by another iOS device. This means that if you're posing for a pic with with an iPhone-packin' friend, you can set your CaseCam-clad phone up to take the shot, then use <em>their</em> phone to check that you're both framed up properly, and to remotely trigger your phone to record the photo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although the mirror is reportedly made of non-image-distorting optical-quality glass, unfortunately that glass is left exposed even when the mirror is folded down (see picture above). As a result, it's quite likely to get scratched over time. Plans call for replacement mirrors to be available for US$7, although it's hard to say how many users would actually bother getting them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Additionally, it would be nice if there were a way of incrementally raising the non-mirror end of the case, to adjust the camera's tilt angle. To some extent, of course, that could be done just by shoving a folded-up piece of paper or something under there.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The creators of the CaseCam are currently raising production funds for the device, on Kickstarter. A pledge of $25 will get you one, when and if they're ready to go. The planned retail price is $40. Although the first model will fit iPhones 5c and 5s, versions for other makes of phones are reportedly in the works.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The MirrorCase and the HiLO lens offer similar functionality, by the way, although neither of those have the same fold-flat form factor as the CaseCam.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Two friends are sitting in a cafe, both looking at their phones.  One has a Samsung while the other is sporting his iPhone.  The iPhone carrying friend states that the ‘iPhone might be getting a bigger screen.’  “That hasn’t happened yet?” responds his friend with the Samsung, obviously sporting a much larger screen.  “You know that thing you’ve been waiting on for like two years, and how it’s supposed to be awesome, and how it’s gonna blow your mind?” the narrator pipes up in an extremely sarcastic manner.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The narrator then states:”Well it’s been here this whole time, but maybe you just like waiting.”  The camera then goes in for the close-up shot of the two phones.  The Samsung with an obviously bigger screen.  “It’s everything you’ve been waiting for: 5.1 inches of full HD on the Samsung Galaxy S5.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Samsung has already mocked Apple using video advertisements making fun of the iPhone’s battery life and the iPad’s screen.  Adding fuel to the proverbial fire, they have now created this new video mocking the long wait for a bigger screen by iPhone users.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This ad is apparently in response to the rumour that Apple will be coming out with two iPhone 6s which will have a 4.7 inch screen and a 5.5 inch screen.  These are both bigger than the iPhone 5s, which only has a 4 inch screen.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">

Facebook Announces New ‘Save’ Feature

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h1 style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Finally,  you can save those newsfeed bits and pieces you haven’t had the time to look at.  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" style="color: #0092dd;" target="_blank" title="Facebook">Facebook</a> has recently revealed their latest ‘Save’ feature.  It allows users to bookmark items on newsfeed they’d like to view at a later time.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Software engineer from Facebook, Daniel Giambalvo, states: ”Every day, people find all sorts of interesting items on Facebook that they don’t have time to explore right away.  Now you can save items that you find on Facebook to check out later when you have more time.”</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="New Save Feature" class="lazy size-full wp-image-17424 data-lazy-ready" data-lazy-src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/thenextweb.com_.jpg" data-lazy-type="image" height="391" src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/thenextweb.com_.jpg" style="background: rgb(236, 240, 244); display: inline; max-width: 708px; padding: 10px;" width="640" /></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So what can you save?  Pretty much anything you want!  Links, movies, music, TV, places and videos are all fair game!</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The good thing about this feature is that saved items are only available for users to view.  However, should you wish to share your save list with your friends, there will be a share-with-friends option.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In order to view your items in the ‘Save’list, you simply click on the ‘More’tab on your mobile or click the side panel on the left side of your computer browser.  Very simple!</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another good feature of ‘save’will be its organisation.  Your items will be categorised and you can share items or move things into an archive.  You will also get reminders in your newsfeed so that you don’t forget what you have in your ‘save’folder.  You’ll never miss your favourite video again!</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">‘Save’will be available to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8" style="color: #0092dd;" target="_blank" title="Facebook iOS">iOS</a>, Android and Internet web browsers in just a few days.  But if you want any questions answered about the new feature, the Facebook Help Centre is available for questioning.  Facebook is also testing a new ‘buy’option where users can purchase things directly through their news feeds.  We may never have to leave our houses again!</span></div>
