HDI headquarters walkthrough: details galore on the new face of in-home 3D
For those unaware, HDI’s flagship product is a planned 103-inch 3D HDTV that uses a proprietary technology in order to showcase content in the third dimension (or 2D, if you’d like). We sat down with Chris Stuart (Director of Technology) and Edmund Sandberg (Chief Technology Officer) in order to get an overview of the tech, set the story straight in regard to pricing and availability, and dig in a little deeper on its plans for distribution and expansion. We also plopped down in front of the company’s prototype 97-inch set and a 46-inch 3D LCD that has remained mostly a myth up until now, and we’ve certainly got plenty to share in terms of impressions. If you’re eager to learn more (and take a behind-the-scenes look at a television R&D lab), give that ‘Read More’ link a gentle press.

Sony shows off the Alpha concept camera menus and screenshots
We told you about Sony’s new concept cameras that were announced during PMA, and now that things have calmed down a bit, we’re starting to see some details. Specifically, what’s going on with the menu system, and what exactly is going to make these cameras so interesting.
Barnes and Noble to sell the Samsung E6 ebook reader this spring
The Nook is soon going to have a bit of competitino on its home playing field when the Samsung E6 reader hits shelves this coming spring. Although it probably doesn’t have much to worry about. We spent sometime with the slider at CES and can’t see any reason why most consumers would opt for the $399 reader instead of the hot Nook.

Weinmann portable voice-guided ventilator

Weinmann of Germany has unveiled a new portable voice-guided ventilator that is specially optimized for EMR and military personnel who perform cardiopulmonary resuscitations in the field. Dubbed the MEDUMAT Easy CPR, it will provide unmistakable spoken instructions whenever you use, giving perfect timing of chest compressions thanks to its integrated metronome. The ventilator itself enables one to manually generate a ventilated breath by activating MEDUtrigger on the mask. This allows you to integrate MEDUMAT Easy CPR into the entire CPR process according to your timing – neat, eh? Hopefully this thing doesn’t run out of juice during the most crucial moments.

Panasonic ToughBook C1 Convertible Tablet PC Video
Editor’s note; this is an updateof the article published yesterday, we added the video
2010 is touted to be the year of the tablet , thanks to the iPad launch; but, the latest Apple luxury toy has nothing in common with the new Panasonic ToughBook C1, the “world’s lightest 12,1″ convertible tablet PC“*, which will provide good computing performances far away from your couch, in bad weather conditions and tough environments. Panasonic launched the ToughBook H1 Field tablet at MWC, and the C1 is introduced for the HIMSS conference (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) since the ToughBook C1 is mostly targeted to the healthcare market.
According to Panasonic, the company has been building rugged PCs since 1993 with integrated wireless since 1996, and they test the wireless connectivity in one of the world’s largest anechoic chambers, to ensure the best possible quality. The ToughBook is a surprisingly very light and bulky business rugged tablet built in a magnesium alloy case for durability, and is equipped with a strap and a dome for comfortable hand support (see video and pictures).
Read the full specifications and pricing in the complete article, the video will come soon.

Monochron Pong Clock

This DIY Monochron Pong clock kit is different from Sander Mulder’s Pong Clock, as this DIY setup will cost you $80 while featuring a custom white-on-black 128 x 64 pixel LCD display. The Pong game that you watch is virtually endless, since time will advance only when one of the sides loses a point. Each $80 purchase comes with a battery backup, switchable 12/24 hour display and the all important snooze alarm. Since the design is open source, those with programming brains will be able to have a field day with it.

Panasonic Toughbook C1 claims world’s lightest 12.1-inch convertible tablet crown
Just 3.2 pounds, folks. That’s all. Jetsetting, globetrotting, running after trains and then jumping into that one open car with all the hay in it. That could be you. Except once you’re in the hay car you could get on Twitter and be like, “Just ran alongside train and jumped in open car filled with hay. Need a Claritin! Blah! ROTFLOL!”
Nokton f0.95 Lens For Micro Four Thirds Cameras

Folks who use Micro Four Thirds cameras, like the Olympus PEN E-PL1, don’t have as many lenses to choose from when compared to those who tout DSLR cameras, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t exciting lenses for them. The US-based company, Noktor, has announced its HyperPrime 50mm f0.95 lens for said camera format. Considering that f0.95 is more than a stop faster than f1.4, you’re going to get some insanely shallow depth of field. If you’re already drooling over it, you can start saving your pennies now, and prepare to pick it up when it goes on sale in April for $750. Who said folks who use the Micro Four Thirds format don’t get as much fun, eh?

Motorola hard hat computer concept
“Look, honey! There’s a cyborg up on the telephone pole outside. Should we invite it in for some motor oil and finger sandwiches or do you think it’d try to kill us? Whup. Wait. It’s a repair man. Cyborgs don’t have butt cracks. That’s how you can tell. False alarm. Should we invite him in [...]
MagiTact for hands-free phone control

Multitouch? That’s so yesterday, if MagiTact catches on. This unique application relies on your handset’s built-in compass to track changes in the magnetic field around it. The result of this technological wizardry is the ability to access a range of gesture-based commands including silencing a ringing phone or terminating a call without needing to lift a finger to contact said device physically – as long as you wear one of them magnetic rings on your fingers. How about performing the pinch-to-zoom function right behind the phone? The technology isn’t perfect though, with a 90% success rate so you won’t see multitouch checking out anytime soon.
