Samsung Smart TV Voice, Gesture and Face Recognition Hands-on

Vincent Nguyen, May 24th 2012 Discuss [0]

When it comes to the greatest in living room entertainment, Smart TV is only half of the battle: actually accessing that smart content presents challenges of its own. Statistics show that a sizable number of Smart TV owners don’t actually use the more advanced features their sets are capable of, intimidated or confused by the complexity of the button-encrusted remotes. Samsung has taken its own route to interactivity, replacing overly-complex remote controls with a combination of gesture, voice and face-recognition.

Apple files for Samsung Tab ban in USA

Chris Burns, May 21st 2012 Discuss [0]

The Samsung legal team is defending itself this week against a potential Apple-led ban of their Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, this just three days before court-moderated settlement talks between the two manufacturers. This motion is being filed by Apple after a partially successful appeal was won by Apple on U.S. Patent No. D504,889 which has the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringing on the iPad enough that the court may ban (temporarily or indefinitely) the Samsung tablet from sale here in the United States. At the moment Apple has won its preliminary injunction motion so it is quite likely that Judge Lucy Koh will move forward without another hearing and will ban the tablet temporarily.

Motion control could save Windows 8

Chris Davies, May 21st 2012 Discuss [0]

You don’t have to be a Minority Report fan to appreciate Leap Motion’s new tracking sensor technology: there’s something tremendously appealing about being able to wave your hands at your computer and conduct the digital world. Motion control has already proved itself more than just a gimmick in gaming, and now it has a chance to not only do that in mainstream computing, but perhaps rescue Microsoft from one of its more contentious Windows decisions. Play it right, and Leap Motion – and others with it – could kill touch in traditional computing before its even had a chance to get started.

Touchscreen research is sheer dragging genius

Chris Davies, May 10th 2012 Discuss [0]

Touchscreen devices that respond not only to regular taps and swipes in two-dimensions, but sheering forces across the display, could open up a new paradigm of tablet and phone control, research has suggested. Rather than conjuring up pop-up toolbars and other screen-dominating UI elements, a press-and-pull gesture could be used to cycle through options, select different colored pens or drawing tools, or perform speedy copy & paste.

Chris Davies, May 8th 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung’s Software Wake-Up

Chris Davies, May 4th 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung’s new Galaxy S III isn’t short on superlatives – its quadcore chip and HD Super AMOLED display spring to mind – but the biggest upgrade is surprisingly in software, not hardware. There’s no denying that the Galaxy S III raises the game from the Galaxy S II, bringing the new flagship up to scratch in competing with HTC’s One X and steeling itself for the incoming iPhone 5. Yet, while Samsung excels in hardware, it’s software and ecosystem which took the focus of the company’s launch.

Apple, not Amazon, is Microsoft’s NOOK Motivation

Chris Davies, Apr 30th 2012 Discuss [0]

Barely was the e-ink dry on Microsoft and Barnes & Noble’s $300m NOOK agreement when pundits were questioning the wisdom of adding Amazon to the software company’s existing roster of big-name rivals. Microsoft is already under attack in mobile and computing, so the commentary went; throwing one of the biggest retailers around into the mixture was at best foolish and at worst evidence of Microsoft spreading itself thin when it needs to be extra lavish with its strokes. That analysis is wrong, though. Make no mistake: Apple, not Amazon, is in Microsoft’s sights today.
