Griffin Technology provides HELO TC remote controlled helicopter

Griffin Technology knows that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, which is why they have decided, with the release of their HELO TC remote controlled helicopter set. What makes these remote controlled helicopters different than the others, we have seen in the past? For the beginning of all iOS device via the touch screen display is can be controlled this particular model of. In a few words said a remote control for the HELO TC - iOS actually is device so that it is even more essential your life not?

Let us look what can bring HELO-TC to the table only. For the beginning of a twin-rotored, indoor helicopters, has been constructed this which with a light metal frame with a black polycarbonate body. Equipped with a flight deck infrared module, you will join transferred this particular bit on an iOS device, make it to the helicopter control signals.

You will be able to choose from two different flight modes touch control, if there is a suspicion that most people would have a field day with it because it instructs the HELO technical throttle, and joystick on the multitouch display to control while leaving that the tendency to steer mode on the iOS device acceleration sensors on the navigating bridge job to do. If you tilt the iOS device, is moved forward, back, and from left to right, for example, the helicopter. The app is heck, even in the position, record and store up to three plans flight, so can you (or other "pilots") a repeat certain flight patterns in the blink of an eye.

Improved motion-capture technology from Carnegie Mellon and Disney

Recently, I saw some shots such as Disney made their film Mars must moms. Seth Green showed in a skintight suit with points all over his face and small balls in some places on his body.

Too bad Mars needs moms was such a flop, but Disney is working with Carnegie Mellon, you create a new system of motion-capture. It works by cameras around the actors, which allows them to give virtual performance from anywhere.

Typically, the players should the background be in rooms with Greenscreens, later, so in can set. This new method takes about 24 cameras to create this effect, and it is a huge time saver. For example, you want to where a scene is someone doing some physical activity, this new mo-cap system can get all the data, and the Director tweak it later.

Unfortunately, this process is costly. Finally the Director has questions, whether it's easy to do, all this animation in the computer and stern with proper motion is capture. Or only film a live action movie with multiple takes of the same scene in action.

I think it's only a matter of time until someone with something like this can change in a cost-effective way and cinema as we know it. Totally honest, I'm kind of upset some who has motion capture today by Robert Zemeckis, and I would like to improve in this area can be found under.

Optimus LG 3D: a new leap in mobile phone technology

lg optimus 3d is misleading at first sight. It is thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S2 only by a few millimetres and is well aware of trends in Smartphone with a 4.3 screen inch. If you take the device in your hands, it will weigh slightly more than regular handsets to 168 grams. However, once you turn the device on its rear side, you will definitely notice that Optimus LG 3D is no ordinary Smartphone.

LG Optimus 3D is the first compatible handset 3D never released. The most notable feature of the handset is the double back to cameras. S 5 megapixel cameras allow users to take 3D photos and videos 3D Records. In addition to these two cameras, the Optimus as LG 3D is equipped with a videoconferencing front camera. 1.3 Megapixels, the resolution of the front facing cameras is adequate for video calls.

Design of 3D Optimus LG is thin and elegant, and with the new added features, the size is comfortable. However, the additional weight has the ability to be noticeable over long periods of time.

The Android handset is powered by a "tri-double configuration" consisting of 1 GHz dual-core processor, dual-memory and dual-channel architecture. In other words, the Optimus LG 3D is a powerful device. In addition, it will provide all the standard features of mobile telephony today. Connectivity Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a personal organizer and 8 GB of internal memory makes the Optimus LG 3D interesting to see device. It is also capable of supporting DLNA/HDMI connections as well.

The screen is the real novelty of the device functionality. Provide a touch screen with resolution 800 x 480, the screen is quite similar to that of the Nintendo 3DS, which is also capable of creating images 3D without the glasses. The results, which added depth of video footage or images, are quite impressive. However, the battery life is very disappointed because the LCD monitor requires more power to operate. With a 1500 mAh standard battery, lg optimus 3d should be connected every night if you are to take advantage of its full functionality on a daily basis.

In regards to the multimedia features, Optimus LG 3D offers the possibility for users to stream multimedia content directly to the device with DLNA. The device features full 3D, even on the Wi - Fi 3D content sharing. However, to the best Wi - Fi sharing capabilities, users also require a cord of micro-HDMI and enabled 3D HDTV.

In conclusion, the Optimus LG 3D is a powerful device packed with a new feature. Although it offers features 3D advanced, compatibility of the internet and multimedia functions, manufacturers have clearly not forgotten that the Optimus LG 3D is a mobile phone at the end of the day. The call quality is as impressive as all the other features and despite some minor disadvantages, it is a solid investment at £ 515.

MicroVision PicoP head-up display technology comes in test vehicles

Technology in vehicles are certainly far from his early days now come up, and we have even a kind of heads up display in BMW's operation for some time already to keep the driver on their eyes on the road of all the time, to help at any time without a blow during the access to important information. May be now, known with its PicoP head-up-display technology, MicroVision only in on the next big thing as PicoHUD, are already implemented in test vehicles.

Specifically this step, if it gains traction, can only with the commercialization of its PicoHUD technology within a mass production car model - end perhaps introduction three years? Microvision's contract see, automobile manufacturers and suppliers tier 1 Advanced HUD prototypes working together with MicroVision roll-out, the next generation are PicoP display engine function, based on direct Green laser.

These prototypes are specifically designed for installation in early experimental vehicles, targeting certain upcoming models (we want young we could to keep these documents!) are already marked with the automaker production roadmap. Opens up just what does technology Microvision's PicoHUD? For starters, such as information such as vehicle surveillance, controls navigation and radio sound for you? All relevant information is projected directly on the windshield of a vehicle.

Microvision's PicoP ultra miniature laser display technology would be the most important "engine" of the PicoHUD, which is a higher degree of design flexibility and programmability to deliver when you can compare it against other technologies. The PicoHUD technology leads to head-up display with industry-leading brightness, where it integrates into almost any style of vehicle can be hampered without space constraints.

Only the vehicle manufacturers believe you will be, which will provide the PicoHUD technology?
