It\u2019s summer and we\u2018re back to ensure that you get your dose of tech news. Amidst the beaches and parties, it\u2019s our job to keep you updated with the latest and greatest happenings in the tech world. In this industry, a lot can change over a week, let alone a month. Did we tell you about the new mind-reader thing? Oh, wait, let\u2019s not get too excited and spoil the surprises that we have in store for you. So let\u2019s get to the tech stories that you might have missed while you were sunbathing at the beaches.<\/p>\n

Control Google Camera with an app<\/b><\/p>\n

Remember those spy movies where the agent takes pictures from his watch? Well, it\u2019s time to bring that excitement to reality. With the new update to the Android Wear, now you can control your Google camera app from your wearable Android watch. The update hasn\u2019t rolled out yet, so there\u2019s still some time before you can fulfill your childhood spy dreams and take pictures worry-free and in a snap.<\/p>\n

MindRDR and Google glass<\/b><\/p>\n

Ever imagined controlling your device directly from your mind? It may sound something out of a sci-fi movie, but now you can control your Google Glass directly from your mind! All you\u2019ll need is Google Glass, MindRDR\u2019s software, and a Neurosky EEG biosensor headset; then there\u2019s no stopping you. I should mention that this won\u2019t give you telekinetic powers or anything, but the EEG biosensor headset, working with MindRDR software, can monitor your brainwaves to have your Google Glass headset take pictures and upload them automatically to Twitter or Facebook. That\u2019s all the functionality it has for now, but it may be a door to endless possibilities in the future.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s enough to make you feel like a secret agent this summer. And one last tip: be aware that if you happen to be travelling through the United Kingdom this summer, don\u2019t forget to keep a little charge to your portable electronic devices, as UK airport authorities may require you to power on your electronics while in transit or on arriving in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
