Kurtis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 thought it started tomorrow, but apparently it started today so just post news as you see it 3D Systems second-gen Cube 3D printer boasts faster prints and more materials Everybody loves a sequel, right? And what better place to launch a followup than in shiny Las Vegas? Exactly a year after launch the first generation of its consumer-friendly 3D printer, the Cube, 3D Systems is getting ready to unleash its successor on the world. The second-gen Cube offers a number of enhancements over last year's model, including the ability to print up to 1.5 times faster and printing in both ABS and recyclable PLA plastics. The printer maintains the earlier version's easily-loaded cartridges (which can be sent back empty for a discount), touchscreen controls and WiFi connectivity. They'll start shipping on the 21st of this month to interested makers who pre-order one now for $1,399. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/3d-systems-cube/ NVIDIA officially unveils Tegra 4: offers quad-core Cortex A15, 72 GPU cores, LTE support One new SoC per year? That's what NVIDIA pledged back in the fall of 2010 and today at its CES 2013 presser, it delivered with the Tegra 4's official unveiling. The chip, which retains the same 4-plus-1 arrangement of its predecessor, arrives with a whopping 72 GeForce GPU cores -- effectively offering six times the Tegra 3's visual output and is based on the 28nm process. It also is the first quad-core processor with Cortex A15 cores on-board, and offers compatibility with LTE networks through an optional chip. NVIDIA claims this piece of silicon is the world's fastest mobile processor, and showed a demonstration in which a Tegra 4 went head-to-head against a Nexus 10 in loading websites (you can guess which one won). The Tegra 4 also introduces new computational photography architecture, which adds a new engine to drive the image processing and significantly improve the amount of time it takes to calculate the necessary mathematics 10 times faster than current platforms. To show off its power, NVIDIA demonstrated HDR rendering on live video. The chip is also capable of implementing HDR in burst shots and with LED flash. The idea, NVIDIA says, is to eventually make our mobile cameras more powerful than DSLRs, and this is certainly a step in the right direction. The Tegra 4 will also enable 4K ultra high-definition video support, as well as PRISM 2 display tech that claims to reduce the power used by the backlight. Doing so will result in a 45 percent decrease in power consumption when compared to Tegra 3. Announced alongside the Tegra 4 was the i500 Soft Modem, which is essentially a reprogrammable baseband solution that is capable of utilizing a wide variety of networks. The chip, which is an optional addendum to the Tegra 4 platform to enable LTE support, is able to process 1.2 trillion operations per second and is 40 percent the size of a conventional baseband chip. We're still waiting to hear about availability for the Tegra 4, but enjoy the press release and above photo gallery in the meantime. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/nvidia-tegra-4-official/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtis Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Texas Instruments reveals plans for DLP and OMAP-powered automotive infotainment and HUD systems Texas Instruments has already shown off some new DLP technology here at CES, shrinking it down and shoving it into phones packed with pico projectors. It's not done, however, as TI has plans to put DLP into next-gen car infotainment and HUD systems. Why the shift into automotive? Well, TI already makes infrared cameras, sensors and other components for cars, and because infotainment systems are becoming de rigeur, DLP based systems are the next logical move for the company. TI thinks DLP is a perfect fit for cars because it delivers higher brightness, wider field of view and better color reproduction than competing display technologies, and it can be used in curved displays. Plus, DLP-based HUD displays can be optimally positioned and changed in size on the fly based on drivers seating positions. To power those systems, TI has also announced a new OMAP 5 chip codenamed Jacinto 6 tailor made for automotive applications. It's got two Cortex A15 cores, two Cortex M4 cores and PowerVR SGX-544 graphics to provide ample computing power and electrical efficiency. We won't be seeing DLP in-dash systems in showrooms anytime soon -- Jacinto 6 won't go into production until 2014 -- but TI has brought a few concept systems to CES, and you can see one of them in a demo video after the break. Oh, and we'll be bringing you an in-person look at TI's wares from the show floor later this week, so stay tuned. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/texas-instruments-dlp-car-infotainment-hud/ video on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung and Microsoft have demoed a new Xbox technology that uses Kinect to project images and special effects into a whole room. Fack, if they get this working properly! Need to make it PC compatible too, plug it in and your kinect projects the game on to the walls too. http://metro.co.uk/2013/01/10/microsoft-illumiroom-turns-your-living-room-into-a-virtual-world-3346165/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtis Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 lol trust Apple are the biggest magicians they just take an existing thing, make it shiny and easy enough for simpletons to use, then overprice it so it looks luxurious and exclusive or something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 When you can't feel individual keys on a touchscreen device it can be hard to type at speed. That is why Tactus, a company based in California, has developed technology which can turn a typical flat tablet screen into a real keyboard with bumpy buttons. The keyboard rises from the tablet when needed, before disappearing when the typing is done. Micah Yairi from Tactus explained how it works. video here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20970928 would be cool if they could like dynamically change shape, not just the keyboard ones there, so you could have things like braille etc but a good start, i like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
