By -
During this year’s Olympic Games being held in Rio and starting tomorrow the BBC will be broadcasting an experimental service that will allow viewers to enjoy the action in 360 degree video.

Unfortunately only 100 hours of 360 degree video will be made available by the BBC, which will be accessible via a new BBC Sport 360 app for iOS, Android and Samsung’s Gear VR headset. Footage will also be made available via a special BBC Taster website created for the BBC’s off-the-wall projects.

The Olympic 2016 360 degree footage will provide coverage of sport such as beach volleyball, boxing, basketball and fencing as well as both the opening and closing ceremonies which will take place on August 5th and August 22nd 2016.

Up to four different camera angles will be available during each event, allowing you to move around the court, ring or stadium, making sure you never miss out on the action as it happens. The BBC explains that the new 360 degree footage is possible due to previous trials that were carried out during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

  Heard of re-writeable CD or drives , ever heard of re-writeable paper ?                            Printing has come a long way since the computer landed on the desktop. First,there were daisy-wheel printers, then dot-matrix printers, then inkjet and laser printers . The problem with all of these output devices, of course, is that they require paper -- lots of it -- and expensive consumables, like toner. Why can't someone invent an inkless, tonerless printer that allows the operator to reuse paper? As it turns out, this isn't a new idea. Xerox has been working with so-called electronic paper since the 1970s. Its most promising solution is a type of paper called "Gyricon." A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic containing millions of small oil-filled cavities. A two-colored bead is free to rotate inside each cavity. When a printer applies a voltage to the surface of the sheet, the beads rotate to present one colored side to the

As they say, life with a smartphone is like having a second brain in your pocket. However, there are times when this second brain goes dead because of something as trivial as your phone running out of battery.  With most buyers focusing on phones with bigger displays and faster and more power-hungry processors, the humble battery pack that actually brings all the magic to life is often forgotten. But having said that, a big battery on a low spec, or worse a badly designed phone is also of no use. So here's our list of phones that not just offer great battery life but also come with best specs (well, almost).   Moto E4 Plus Kicking things off is the recently launched Moto E4 Plus which brings with it a massive 5000 mAh battery pack, a 5.5-inch 720p display, a fingerprint sensor running on Android 7.1.1. It's also equipped with a capable MediaTek MT 6737 quad-core processor clocking at 1.3GHz paired with 3GB RAM. There's also 32GB of inbuilt storage which can be exp
