After having recently shown us some visionary beyond-game-console applications for the Kinect gesture interface peripheral, Microsoft appears to be ready to "put its money where its mouth is." As first (at least in my RSS feed suite) reported by VentureBeat, the company has partnered with an investment firm called TechStars (which, per its website, "provides

Back in late July, I wrote about Azumio's Instant Heart Rate, an application which uses an Apple iOS- or Google Android-based mobile device's built-in camera and flash illumination subsystems to assess pulse rate in an impressively accurate manner. Yesterday, I learned about a conceptually similar app from Philips called Vital Signs Camera, although the implementation

As I write this, I'm recalling a particularly entertaining cab ride I took a couple of years ago at the January Consumer Electronics Show, from the airport to my hotel at the beginning of the week. I pointed out what looked like a camera installed in the rear-view mirror, and the driver confirmed that my
