| Today's Top Stories | | #1 | Digital Projection unveils 12K solid-state laser projector at ISE 2014 (video) | | | via InAVate | | | Chris Axford from Digital Projection runs through the features of the company's 12,000 lumens solid-state laser projector unveiled at ISE 2014. More»
Why This Matters: This is the first public outing for the HIGHLite Laser 12K 3-DLP chip projector that DP announced late last year as a world's first. Media reports have called it a highlight of ISE. If you would rather read about it than watch a video, here's a Q&A with Display Central from last month. –Cynthia Wisehart |
| | #2 | Sony sells off Vaio | | | via Sam Byford, The Verge | | | Confirming reports from earlier in the week, Sony has announced plans to sell off its VAIO computer division to a Japanese investment fund. Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) will take control of the operation for an undisclosed fee, and Sony will "cease planning, design and development of PC products." More»
Why This Matters: End of an era? Sign of the times? The company will also split its TV arm off as a stand alone by June of this year. If you're a diehard Vaio user you will enjoy this look back at the iconic Vaios you may have owned. –Cynthia Wisehart |
| | #3 | Gesture-controlled holographic display | | | via InAVate | | | Engage Production has announced the distribution of Holo, a new development of the 'Pepper's Ghost' illusion. It offers the biggest 360° floating optical experience on the market, and is controlled by hand gestures. More »
Why This Matters: Maybe for a museum? Or home office. Retail display. It's very "designed" thanks to famed British designer Terence Conran. It also slightly recalls the RealFiction holographic display that was highly cited at ISE. A mini trend? Talk about back to the future in more ways than one--old, old technology (pepper's ghost) seems fresh again.–Cynthia Wisehart |
