When you’re driving in your car, the last thing you ever want is to get in a wreck. Good, defensive driving helps avoid collisions, but sometimes things are completely out of your hands. In those cases, it’s good to have a recording of what happened, in case there is a dispute over the fault of the accident. Dash cams have become increasingly popular in the last few years, but they really only capture one point of view. If you’re hit from the rear, that’s not going to be seen. What you need is a cam that can look both directions.

As its name implies, this Front and Rear Recording Dash Cam is going to record more than one perspective. It doesn’t actually have to only face front and rear, though. The unit features two separate lenses, which can each be rotated 180 degrees. If you want, you could have one facing out each side window, or any combination, really. There’s even a display on the front to show you what’s being recorded, so that you know you’ve got the cameras angled just the way you want.

The camera will need to stay plugged into your cigarette lighter to stay powered up, and it comes with a 4GB microSD memory card, which will keep about 2 hours worth of footage. It will accept cards up to 32GB in size, for up to 16 hours of recording. If you want one of these for your car, you’ll be looking at spending around $200.

LG Display unveils first Intel WiDi enabled LCD panel for monitors in the world

lg-display-widiLG Display remains at the forefront of things yet again, as the company has just announced that they have successfully developed the world’s first LCD panel for monitors that will boast of the Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which obviously is a project that was performed in collaboration with Intel Corporation. This happens to be a spanking new 23.8-inch LCD panel that would be the most recent improvement which empowers users with the ability to stream wirelessly their laptop and desktop content to their TVs as well as monitors in a far more seamless manner.

This successful collaboration with Intel resulted in the development of a panel that will offer Intel WiDi solution through the construction of a key chipset directly into the LCD module. Thanks to such a cutting-edge LCD panel that has been embedded with an Intel WiDi solution, LG Display would be able to let users enjoy quality images with an easy and convenient access to Intel WiDi technology, all without having to go through the hassle of using additional devices, not to mention paving the way for OEMs and monitor manufacturers to weigh and consider the possibility of adopting such advanced technology in their future range of products.

Sang-Yeol Kim, Vice President of LG Display’s IT and Mobile Product Planning Division, said, “LG Display’s latest development brings us closer to the N-Screen era. Through our close collaboration with Intel Corporation, we look forward to pioneering the age of wireless devices with our global partners.”

It remains to be seen, however, just how much such a display would cost when it eventually arrives in the market. We do know, however, that this 23.8” Intel WiDi solution-enabled LCD panel will make its debut at the upcoming 2013 Intel Developer Forum which will happen tomorrow until September 12th in San Francisco, California.
