For The Technology Trailblazer: Swarovski Optik's dG
For those who pride themselves on their collection of swanky gadgets and who like to stay ahead of technology trends, Swarovski Optik has recently announced the launch of the dG (digital guide), the first long-range optical device that allows nature enthusiasts to easily observe, identify and share sightings of birds. After utilising the 8x magnification power of the dG to locate wildlife, users can digitally document images and videos of their spot via the integrated, high-resolution camera. With the simple push of a button, these are then transferred to a smartphone and identified by the Merlin Bird ID app or the dG Mammals app, which instantly provide information about the species spotted. Social birders can share their discoveries using the device’s integrated Wi-Fi hotspot which allows up to five other users within a five-metre range to live stream sightings using the Swarovski Optik dG app. From £1,650
