MAGICAL DEVICE

 Omniocular used in Harry Potter

    In London, on August 21st Scientists has developed binoculars which can be pause, rewind and playback whatever we are viewing, this magical device used by the schoolboy wizard in Harry Potter.

   This digital devices are developed by the researchers at Sony which could revolutionise birdwatching, horse racing, cricket and even opera.

   In the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Potter uses similar magical device which was called as Omniocular which is used to watch his favourite sport of
Quidditch. The developers of new device claimed that it allows a birdwatcher to record a sighting of a rare species and then send proof to other twitchers within minutes. GPS receiver also notes the position of the sighting of the birdwatcher.

  This device will let golf and cricket spectators to enjoy their own action-replays at live tournaments or test matches. This technology also allows music fans to record and watch concerts in 3D, while recording the sound in stereo.

   Electronic giant Sony said its "vinoculars" or "video binoculars" which are the first device of their kind in the world. The conventional models which rely on two sets of lenses side by side to make distant objects appear closer, the hi-tech version captures images using two miniature cameras positioned in parallel. The captured images are displayed live on high-definition screens in the eyepieces, mimicking the look and experience of traditional binoculars.

   But at the press of a button the glasses record images either in ordinary video or in 3D, which can then be played back on a 3D television. The vinoculars can also capture still photographs, with all images and videos saved to a memory stick. Because they can record sound, birdwatchers will be able to capture birdsong and also sports fans will be able to record the reaction of spectators. And there won’t be the usual frustrating fiddle to bring an image into focus, as the vinoculars also come with electronic autofocus and “steadyshot” technology to stop images shaking even when magnified up to 20 times.

   I think this will be a useful information to all of them and it also be a magical device to all of us, similar in the movie of Harry Potter . This device will be worth and i thank to the researchers at Sony who developed.......
