Vlogging still seems to be a pretty popular thing that many YouTubers are doing these days. So much so that it seems that Sony wants to cater to these users specifically, and in a series of teasers, the company seems to be working on a new camera that they could be aiming specifically at vloggers.
It was previously reported that Sony could be working on a new compact camera. It was assumed that it could be a new Sony RX camera, but it was also suggested that it could be something entirely different. The latter now seems to be proving true as the reports are claiming that this camera will be known as the Sony ZV1.
As you can see in the teaser images, it looks very much like a compact camera, but one of the main differences is that the rear viewfinder now swivels out to the side. Previously, the viewfinder on the back would flip upwards, but it seems that Sony is taking into consideration that vloggers might want to attach a microphone and flipping the viewfinder upwards could interfere with that.
At this point in time it is unclear what other features the ZV1 could be packing, but the company has set an official announcement for the 26th of May, so we should have all the officials details then.

This Robotic Face Mask Can Automatically Open And Close If There Are People Around
Posted in: Today's ChiliWearing a face mask for an extended period of time can get slightly uncomfortable. This is because if face masks are worn properly, it is meant to help create a seal around your nose and mouth so help prevent bacteria and particles from coming in through the sides. As a result, it does end up restricting your breathing by a bit.
However, a YouTuber by the name of DesignMaker has created a robotic mask that comes with a bunch of electronic components and sensors where one of its main abilities is that it can automatically open and close. This will be done whenever it senses that there are people around, in which the mask closes up. However, when there is no one around, it will open up to allow for better airflow.
That being said, we have to wonder about the practicality of such a mask since it requires quite a lot of components. Plus, there is no way that this type of mask will be lighter compared to regular surgical/N95 face masks. The upside is that it is at least reusable and also “smart”, which reduces the need for us to take our masks on and off when we need to take a drink or to eat.
However, like we said, it doesn’t seem very practical for everyday use, but it is still a pretty clever invention anyway. The added bonus is that if you’re into steampunk or sci-fi, then this would make the perfect accessory.
