Winscape transforms your Plasma into a interactive Window

Posted by ts On 16.04.2010

Waking up in the same place every morning is boring.

  • Custom Winscape software with configurable screen parameters
  • Two HD plasma displays for great contrast and wide viewing angles
  • Video playback resolution of 1920×1080 with sound
  • Still-image resolution of 4096×4096
  • Fully embedded in the wall for aesthetics and silent operation
  • Tracking of one person in the room for proper perspective presentation
  • Scheduled on/off
  • iPhone and web control of sleep/wake/scene selection

What is behind the curtain?

Two 46-inch Panasonic TC-P46G10 plasma screens bring the images to life.  They are fed by an Apple Mac Pro workstation in the adjacent room running custom OS X software called Winscape.  Using the displays’ physical layout parameters, the Winscape software renders the proper portions of the video to fill the appropriate displays using Quicktime and OpenGL.  A Wii remote reports the position of a custom-built IR-emitting necklace in the room via bluetooth.  The Winscape software uses this tracker information (when available) to shift the view for the person wearing the IR necklace.  Sleep, Wake, and Scene Selection can be controlled by a web page served by the software or by the Winscape Remote iPhone App.

MacBook Pro Core i7 review

Posted by ts On 15.04.2010

While the MacBook Pro is just another Intel-based computer with standard internals, slightly inflated price tags, and a familiar (if legendary) design sense, Apple having the absolute corner on the market for building machines that legitimately run OS X can be a little rough on the upgrade obsessed. Waiting 10 months for a new computer, without an industry full of hungry competitors with wild alternatives to quench your thirst, can be difficult, and the January launch of Intel’s new Core i5 and Core i7 chips for laptops further fueled the saliva. Still, Apple would like you to believe these new MacBook Pros with their 2010-ready internals and same-as-last-year good looks have been worth the wait. Find out for yourself in our full review after the break.

Onda VX560

The kids at Onda have had a sideline in nondescript PMPs for years now, but that doesn’t mean they lack dreams and aspirations, no sir! The VX560 shows ’em taking a cautious step up the evolutionary ladder with a 7-inch touchscreen slate that rocks 1080p video output via HDMI, support for a plethora of video formats (including H.264, AVI, MOV, MPG, and FLV), a 800 x 480 display, an array of ebook formats (including PDF, PDB, and CHM), and text-to-speech — although exactly what language it will be reading in is anybody’s guess. You know what else is “anybody’s guess?” When it will be released, and for what price.

HTC Droid Incredible shows up on official Verizon preview page – coming April 29th

Official announcements be damned — Verizon’s just thrown up a “coming soon” preview page for the HTC Incredible. While we didn’t necessarily need any more evidence this guy was real — we’ve read its user’s manual, we’ve spied shots of it in Verizon’s system, and we’ve seen it in the wild enough times to sketch it quickly from memory with our eyes closed — it’s still exciting news to know that the inevitable unleashing of this beast is nearly upon us.

Update: They’ve changed up this page already (as you can see from our updated image) — giving us the date of April 29th. And yes, they’re calling it the Droid Incredible.

Update 2: You’ll want to hit the read more and check out some photographic evidence of the Incredible making its way to T-Mobile via Costco stores — it appears to be showing up in inventories now — we’ll keep you posted.

Update 3: And now the website is password protected. That’s okay: we know what it said.

Apple Delays iPad International Release

Posted by ts On 15.04.2010

Apple says that although it has “delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week” the demand for the iPad in sales and pre-orders is “far higher than we predicted”. The upshot of all these US sales? The international launch – that’s including us here in Europe folks – will be postponed by one month, until the end of May. However, make a date in your diary as Apple says it will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10.

Samsung AMOLED Beam SPH-W9600 projector phone

Remember Samsung’s impressive 3.7-inch Super AMOLED Beam projector phone running Andriod? This isn’t it. Instead, Samsung is launching its far less impressive 3.3-inch AMOLED (what, no Super?) Beam SPH-W9600 we previewed back in January into its South Korean home. So yeah, it’s the same 5 megapixeler with T-DMB TV, Microsoft Office and DivX codec support, and improved DLP pico projector that replaces last year’s W7900. But if it’s all the same to you Sammy, we’ll be waiting for the true projector phone successor — your Beam i8520, codenamed Halo — said to be launching this summer.
