Ok, I found an "official" video link… here ya go 🙂

Location for my videos…

Posted: May 24, 2008 in Uncategorized
I don’t know why the Spaces system doesn’t link my profile to my MSN Soapbox Videos… so here’s the link!
Eat your heart out, Apple… Silly iPod Nano. They should have shown a Rolly for that commercial!
 
(sorry for the choppy video :))
 
 
I’ve put up a tutorial explaining how to put music and new motions on the Sony Rolly… In English!
 
Hit up http://myrolly.net and enjoy! (yes, the site’s still ugly… I need to work on that!)
 
Best,

I’ve started converting the Rolly Manual to English…
Oh yeah!
 
Check out my progress: http://myrolly.net

Photos from show floor posted

Posted: October 3, 2007 in Uncategorized
I’ve started posting the photos I shot while on the show floor… more will be coming as I transfer them from my various cameras…
 
Either click the photo album link (CEATEC 2007 Show Floor) or click here
Shown at
CEATEC, this is a demonstration of a flexible loudspeaker technology.
As thin as a couple sheets of paper, the full audio spectrum can be
realized. Combined with flexible display technologies, such as ePaper,
you could have a multimedia experience that could be rolled up and
distributed. Similar to the interactive newspapers shown in the Harry
Potter and Minority Report movies.

Just one amazing example of full-motion robotics at CEATEC 2007… wow…


Stereo audio targeting

Posted: October 3, 2007 in Uncategorized
Another cool technology emerging from CEATEC 2007:


1 LTD’s directional audio speakers used a mesh of 8 to 20
little speakers and Regaza’s audiovisuak processor solution to effectively transmit audio to specific locations in a room.
This enables many applications, from multilingual audio based on where a person
is sitting in a room, to automotive possibilities where passengers can clearly
listen to only their audio tracks, while the driver only hears traffic and GPS
instructions. Given an effectively optimized room or environment, there are
incredible possibilities for audio targeting solutions.


Toshiba displayed a *working* media player running on Methanol fuel cells. This is quite the breakthrough – unlimited, renewable, affordable, clean energy for consumer electronics devices. Imagine running low on power for your laptop. Just add a few squirts of methanol into a port and bam, get more power. In combination with rechargeable batteries, it could become the next big thing. Toshiba has shown concept mock-ups/prototypes in the past, but this is the first time they’ve shown something that actually works.
