3 Hot Gadgets: Basis Watch, HP Ultrabook, Lytro Camera

Check out three compelling devices, from a fitness gadget to a ground-breaking camera, recently featured on our Valley View web TV show.

Technology is changing the way we monitor our health, the way politicians run campaigns, and how we consume and share information. The astounding leaps dazzle the world nearly every day. During our recent Valley View live web TV show (broadcast from our San Francisco headquarters monthly,) we took a tour through some of the latest gadgetry that promises bold new ways of living and working.

First, we invited Basis to demonstrate its health wrist watch and accompanying software. Then we showed HP's new high-end Ultrabook, the Envy Spectre 14; and finally the forthcoming Lytro camera, which captures the entire light field--leading to an entirely new photographic experience.

You can watch each demonstration in the video embedded below, and also see our video montage of some other cool gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Also, if you'd like to register for our February 16 Valley View, you'll be entered to win some cool prizes and may peek at our next line-up of product demonstrations.
