In Depth: 10 Kickstarter projects you will be buying in 2014

July 13th - via: eg-hq.com
Crowd-funding sites like Kickstarter not only offer innovators and idea generators the means to get their project off the ground, it also offers us tech fans to get in on something at the ground level. Everyone's looking for the next big thing in tech, the chance to be a pioneer for a newfangled gadget, game, service or solution. Kickstarter gives us that chance and lets us get ahead of the crowd. Over the last couple of years, we've seen Android games consoles like Ouya and smartwatches like Pebble get their breaks on Kickstarter, while thousands of other products are now in development thanks to tech fans clubbing together. 2014 has been no different and projects from the ground-breaking and revolutionary to the 'damn, that's so simple I wish I'd have thought of it' are raking in the currency in cash and belief. (Read More)

BloomSky Looks to Crowdsource Weather Data

June 23rd - via: geekbeat.tv
BloomSky has launched its Kickstarter project to revolutionize the way we view weather data. BloomSky uses crowd sourced weather data, but like traffic apps like Waze.

It features a 250 sensor rain detector and 179° wide angle camera. The camera will take pictures during the day and create a time lapse video.
