The Cyclops is a 5-passenger deep-sea submersible that's currently under development. Once completed in 2016, it should be able to descend to a depth of 3,000 meters (9,800 ft).

Panasonic has developed a 64:9 Ultra-Wide Camera System. With its 160-degree horizontal field of view, it can capture an entire sports field in one 720p image, in which all of players are still clearly visible.

Ayah Bdeir is on a mission to bring DIY electronics to a wider audience with littleBits – a collection of circuit board modules that can be snapped together with magnets and combined with everyday objects to make whatever your imagination can conjure.

A new Kickstarter project is set to launch the world's first all-in-one 3d copy machine that can scan, copy, print and even fax 3d objects.Instead of buying a hammer the next time you need one, you could simply scan your neighbors or have a friend fax across their hammer scan and print your own.

Cubify Sculpt is a new application from 3D Systems that gives users the ability to freeform shape objects, giving a more natural feel to the design process and making it more accessible to the less-experienced designer.
