Artist Allison May Kiphuth captures scenes inspired by her surroundings in Maine and along the New Hampshire sea coast by squeezing them into small wooden boxes scarcely a few inches wide. Her mixed media dioramas are constructed from layered ink and watercolor illustrations assembled with pins and string inside antique boxes. The content of each artwork varies from piece to piece from underwater scenes of sea life, to magical tiny worlds populated by forest creatures.

Bike bells generally look and sound a bit ugly. But why? What if they looked sexy and sounded like an angel playing a glockenspiel? Knog, which is a bike accessories company has designed this sexy sounding bike bell.
The Oi bell's shape originates from its home - the handle bar. There are five styles. The standard aluminum model comes in 4 finishes: brushed aluminum; brass-plated; copper-plated; and black. The top of the range, "treat yourself” model is made from titanium. If you want to find out more information check their Kickstarter.
The Samsung Gear 360 is sporting an eyeball-like design and a camera on either side, kind of like the old school webcams but with 2 camera's. The Samsung Gear 360 VR Camera ($TBA) makes capturing 360-degree footage and images a breeze. It connects to the S7 and S7 Edge over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, letting them serve as both viewfinders and editors, the latter necessary to make anything out of what it captures. And it captures a lot due to the 15 megapixel sensors with f/2.0 lenses that provide 195-degree fields of view, giving the stitching algorithm 15 degrees of overlap to play with. The result is 3840 x 1920 video and 30 megapixel stills that look solid on your phone, in a browser, or, ideally, inside a VR headset. Check out Samsung's site for more details.
