The best of the Cool Product Expo (pictures)
Take a look at the best cutting-edge innovations from startups and design studios on display at Stanford.
Freebord's new skateboard
Evolved from the edging techniques used in snowboarding, the Freebord is a new kind of skateboard which uses the concept of "edging" on the road.
Two inner, centered wheels are positioned to sit just below the outer, longer wheels which act like a snowboard's edges. When riding a Freebord, you can carve, slide, and slow down just like on the snow, bringing more control to the skateboard experience.

San Francisco-based Stealth HD is a software platform that has created high-definition, panoramic video using off-the-shelf hardware. Here, four GoPro cameras have been linked up to provide the 360-degree view.
Single stream from many cameras
This isn't consumer technology for you and me -- the licensing of the Stealth HD system costs around $150,000 and is being marketed toward broadcast news providers to help them produce single, live-streaming, high-definition 360-degree video.
