I’ve recently been testing some other uses for the GoPro HD Hero other than filming footage from onboard my motorcycle or luging down a hill in Rotorua.
Normally when you search for GoPro on YouTube you’ll be presented with videos of Skydiving, Base jumping, Motorsports, Watersports and many other adventurous, adrenaline seeking activities.
Feeling quite at home on the iPhone’s unique touch-screen interface after having owned a iPod Touch for well over a year, Joshua, my almost three year old son quickly wanted to get his hands on my new iPhone 3GS. Once I showed him once how to record audio in the new Voice Memo app, he quickly got the hang of it and started recording some clips.
These are two of my favourites from the past week.

Well, after my workmate Craig Hammond went up on a floatplane ride over Mt Tarawera with Volcanic Air Safaris’ (VAS) last week, I was pretty envious. But fear not, Ann Parker from VAS said I could come down when ever I liked to have a free transfer back to the airport, as they store the helicopters there every night.
A cool way to virtually explore Joshua’s new ‘Elmo’ themed bedroom using Microsoft’s new Photosynth technology.
To view the following you will be required the install the free Photosynth software. I would seriously recommend it, it’s really quite an amazing way to explore environments in 3D using nothing other than two dimensional photos.
