These look great! I'm so glad dark grays are being considered. I'm less bothered about the exact final shade, I think most anything will look pretty good. I kind of agree that the "gunmetal" would look better darker, but even so I'm surprised by how much I like it as it is - reminds me of an 80s...

I've read a lot of noise about whether the Pyra can be effectively used as a phone without the aid of external headsets. If I might be so bold, I've thought of a very minor design change that will massively facilitate this. Only @EvilDragon can say whether it's too late in the game to apply this...

True, but I was not attempting a blind regression, but a model. And it was not initially obvious that at t=0 preorders should not also = 0 (since in reality of course, they were). But the initial spike was so rapid it made more sense to treat it as a y-intercept.

Well, this stats game is addictive. Here's my analysis. We are not looking at a single curve. This is the superimposition of at least three different demographics. Demographic 1: The people who were poised over the keyboard ready to order as soon as they were allowed. This is viewable as a...

I'm gonna come out and be a tad more optimistic than sulu and say yes, there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work. Browsing their GitHub, the interface technology seems to rely entirely on HTML5 and Node.js, and they've even included Debian packaging scripts. I would assume that the...

Pic is a proposed hexagonal lightfield bayer array. Each of the 151 hexagons represents a filtered monochrome camera. CMY is better but ugly

Nothing particularly polished as there are no commercial light field cameras besides Lytro, who provide their own software. However, the algorithms are not difficult. You'd probably want to implement something from scratch anyway to use the DSP, if that can be done. Also, you want somewhat...

You absolutely can do this! It's called lightfield imaging and it is an active area of research. In fact I plan to do my MSc dissertation on exactly this. bzar just linked to Pelican imaging, which is 5x5 and would be great if they ever actually sold it, but Lytro do essentially the same thing...

Wow, I actually thought this was a spoof at first. "Aaaaaaaaannd it's gone."

Heh. But seriously, I wasn't ignored, everyone loves it. In all seriousness - does anyone disagree that it's superior to jet black? I'm prepared to be proven wrong here, but I think it's more interesting (and professional-looking), yet still provides an option for those who don't want violent...

You say that, but in the Pyra spectrum thread it was the one with the broadest appeal. I brought it up in the IRC recently and not a single person disagreed that it was superior to black. I wonder if people aren't picturing it right when they hear the words. It's more a "charcoal black". Here...

As far as I am aware, the Pyra will run vanilla Debian, probably with extras to make a smoother experience with the hardware but nothing taken away. Debian is generally very good about making sure as many packages as possible are available on as many architectures as possible; as someone who has...

Welp, the graph just broke. 350,000 years in the future...

I'm also a bit concerned - I got my preorder in 37 minutes after they opened (so I'm what, number 60 or therebouts?) and did not create an account with dragonbox.de. I only have "order confirmation" and "payment accepted" emails, nothing mentioning a voucher. Not too worried as I'd heard...

How about this: http://www.banggood.com/Cheerson-CX-10W-CX10W-Mini-Wifi-FPV-With-720P-Camera-2_4G-4CH-6-Axis-LED-RC-Quadcopter-p-1028416.html Wifi-connected, recharges from the Pyra, and flies :p
