The lineup included several instances of notebooks designed in collaboration with major designer brands, another attempt at wearable video recorders, and efforts to product users from excessive use of their own gadgets: Asus showed a notebook embossed with the Disney logo, and running a Disney-specific user interface that can be configured to restrict the allowable actions of its young users. HP showed a new edition of its notebook branded by fashion designer Vivienne Tam, and a new notebook inlaid with patterns from designer Tord Boontje, whose work is featured at the Museum of Modern Art. HP DreamScreen adds intelligence to the digital photo frame category with TouchSmart software, which provides real-time data feeds such as Facebook updates, Pandora music, and SnapFish photos. Pong Research showed a cell phone cover that reduces radiation by 60%, and iSpeech.org featured mobile phone software called drivesafe.ly that automatically performs text-to-speech conversion of text messages received while its user is driving. The software also automatically replies to senders that the receiver is driving, so they might consider waiting to send their next test message. Contour showed its wearable camcorder designed to capture first-person perspective videos of extreme sports, and allowing them to be easily shared with communities of users. It is bulkier than the old DejaView head-mounted system, but has the advantage of capturing video in HD quality. <  Augmented Reality Taking Hold Through Smartphones | Huge Archive of Information Visualization Examples  >		Nooface Login Nickname: Password: [ Create a new account ] Related Links preview in New York Asus embossed with the Disney logo Disney-specific user interface new edition Vivienne Tam new notebook Tord Boontje Museum of Modern Art HP DreamScreen digital photo frame TouchSmart Pandora SnapFish Pong Research iSpeech.org drivesafe.ly Contour wearable camcorder DejaView More on Mobile Computing Interfaces Also by Editor

I played around with one, and the graphics look nice, but it took a minute or two to realize that the main display area wasn't touch sensitive...kind of disappointing. All actions and settings have to be initiated on a switch pad below the screen. [ Reply to This | Parent ]
