Listen up, golden ears; If the Blu-Spec CD didn’t get your attention, the newer join-ventured of JVC’s K2HD audio coding and Japan largest optical disk manufacturer would, at least the price.

Too many over the edge digital spy gadgets we’ve seen; but this one is kickin’ it old school, an analog wristwatch with full-feature digital video camera that is capable of capturing both images and sounds.
We get used to see Japanese innovation in paper thin and flexible display technology, but this one is a home-based invention from US; the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University has teamed up with HP to announce the first prototype of affordable, flexible yet unbreakable electronic displays with lower power consumption than nowadays’ flat-screens.
TN film panel is not my favorite type of TFT LCD monitor; colorshifts are terrible, viewing angles are the among the narrowest and covers small range of color gamut. In fact, i despise it but the manufacturer loves it; materials are less costly to fabricate and the pixel response time is fast and sufficiently to avoid the shadow-trail and ghosting artifacts. Sadly, the whole range of newly announced 16:9 monitors are all TN film based monitors with inferior hardware. The days where an affordable Dell manufactured with IPS panel like 2005 and 2007 series monitors are long gone. But there’s hope; new coating material has found a new angle to improve and optimize the off-putting viewing angles.
JVC is ahead of the curve, it seems. They have just turned on the very first 720p HD display in Times Square in New York today. The gigantic billboard is actually comprised of three LED displays. One is a standard display and the two others are tickers, one of which circles around a globe.
We’re live in Milan today, covering Sony’s latest announcement. In fact, Sony showed off a brand new marketing campaign today that’s intended to demonstrate their latest technology behind their BRAVIA televisions. The tech is called Motionflow 240Hz and in order to show off what the latest in motion picture technology is capable of, Sony resorted to the oldest method of creating motion pictures: the zoetrope.
We talked about the Epoc Neuroheadset from Emotiv Systems before, and while it was slated to be released in time for the holidays, it seems to have now hit a roadblock. In fact, the gadget just doesn’t seem to work properly.
Originally announced at the Intel Developer’s Forum, the Epoc headset was supposed to be able to read your brainwaves and then you could think about moving an item on screen and it would move. Sounds pretty cool, right? But now, the device isn’t working as it should.
This is an even bigger problem now for Emotiv because competing devices are expected to make an appearance very soon. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens when this one finally makes it to market at an expected retail price of about $300.
What could possibly make the news better than a World largest display with 3D technology? A US based but China manufactured LED display can interpret 3D video content at the size of 180-inch. The commercially behemoth can be further expanded in a trio arrangement to gather up to 360-inch of big wall display. If you have a dream of having a best-in-town Superbowl party, this is your Lombardi screen estate.
We’ve seen a matchbox-sized miniature projector designed as a modular integrated system for portable platform devices. The Lcos-based miniature projection technology is proven useful and extremely portable. Here’s another with similar technology but a full-blown mobile projector promises to deliver a big picture.
