Golf Swing Analyzer
Epson released details of a new gadget designed to help you
perfect your golf swing.
The Epson M Tracer MT500GII Golf Swing Analyzer is attached to
your golf club and is able to analyse a variety of aspects of your golf swing
in real time.
The M Tracer attaches to the grip of the golf club and records
data on the swing path, angle of impact, speed, tempo and other performance
related analytics.
The gadget is designed to be used for players of
all abilities and can be connected to an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth.
The app is then used to collect and store the data and offers the user the
ability to watch a 3D replay of the golfer’s swing and even compare their swing
against that of a professional.
GPS Sports Watch
Epson Active includes a range of
products designed for use in competitive sport and the fitness industry.
As well as the Epson M Tracer
there is also the Runsense GPS sports watch, the Pulsense Fitness watch and
band and the augmented reality Moverio smart glasses.
The Epson M Tracer will be released in March 2015.
Samsung SUHD
Samsung’s premium SUHD line comprises three
series with nine screen sizes ranging from 48-inches all the way up
to 88-inches. As is typical for CES announcements,
prices and availability are not disclosed as yet.
The three models – JS9500, JS9000 and JS8500 –
come in nine screen sizes (48-inch to 88-inch) and continue Samsung's popular
curved screen models, which currently account for about half Samsung's UHDTV
sales.
All of Samsung’s SUHD TVs use quantum dot
technology, allowing for an expanded color gamut that nearly meets the DCI
color space — nearly 20-percent more color than existing televisions. The new
TV tech also allows for significantly brighter images. Quantum dots are being
utilized by most major TV manufacturers now.
Samsung’s flagship television was on display showing off short
clips of Life of Pi and Ridley Scott’s Exodus, both of which had been specially mastered in 4K UHD with
10-bit color and in High Dynamic Range. Both 10-bit color and High Dynamic
Range are reportedly part of the new 4K UHD Blu-ray spec, as designated by the
newly-formed UHD alliance. High Dynamic Range allows for brighter images with
even greater contrast between dark and light. 10-bit color, on the other hand,
goes back to the enhanced color gamut referenced earlier — sources offering
10-bit color and HDR are not available yet, but when 4K UHD Blu-ray discs
arrive, we’ll get both and from what we’ve seen so far, it is going to be
spectacular in the literal sense of the term.
Toyota "Hydrogen
society"
Stressing recent oil disasters, Kaku emphasized that
hydrogen is volatile but dissipates quickly, and that we've been working with
it long enough that we've smoothed out the kinks.
"We are present
at the creation of a hydrogen society."
According to
Bob Carter of Toyota, the first model is named Mirai, Japanese for
"future".
In the US, the future
means October 2015.
Those yellow cylinders are the
hydrogen and oxygen tanks. When charged, they combine to form water
vapor, and the reaction releases energy. This "on-demand"
energy drives the front wheels.
The voltage boost
converter system allows the car to start in temperatures as low as -30 degrees
Celsius
Simulating a blackout, Carter "plugged" the car into the
faux house to emphasize that the hydrogen fuel cell can power everything, not
just cars. He claimed the fuel cell in the car could power a typical house for
a week in an emergency. Toyota has invested in FirstElement Fuel to
provide hydrogen-fueling stations. Carter said that a car could be refueled in
3-5 minutes.
Carter claims that hydrogen fuel cell-based cars
will be in production by the 10s of thousands by 2020.

In one of the latest incarnations of
science fiction becoming reality, the Myo armband is one of the devices set to
revolutionize how we interact with the world around us.
Myo uses the electrical
activity in your muscles to wirelessly control your computer, phone and other
favorite digital technologies. Essentially, the wearer’s arm becomes a magic
wand.
BT-200 Smart Glasses
Leveraging the unique capabilities of the
Moverio BT-200 platform, new consumer applications will be demonstrated that
transform the gaming experience with real-world interaction, education and
training applications that enable new ways to learn and retain information, and
industrial applications that provide workers with greater efficiency and
safety.
The Moverio
BT-200 offers an unparalleled binocular smart glasses experience optimized for
augmented reality applications. Micro projectors located on each side of the
lens project transparent overlays of digital content directly in the user’s
field of view over the real-world environment. In addition to the Moverio
BT-200’s sensors for head-motion tracking and hands-free navigation, the smart
glasses include a front-facing camera for video as well as image capture that
detects real-world markers for augmented reality applications.
Sony Action Cam 4K
The new camera, model FDR-X1000V, applies the
company’s vast expertise in 4K video production to a compact, splash-proof POV
camera design, allowing adventurers to capture stunning 4K content
(3840×2160@30p 100Mbps1/60Mpbs) with ease, which can be played back on a compatible 4K TV
directly from the camera through HDMI. It also features enhanced HD video
performance with upgraded stabilization, image quality and high-frame rate
shooting.
The camera can also shoot HD video footage at extremely high frame
rates of 120p in Full HD and 240p in standard HD for impressive slow-motion
footage, and has clean HDMI output for recording to an external device. On the
audio front, the new Action Cam adds wind noise reduction that minimizes wind interference
with the stereo microphone, ensuring the best possible sound experience.
For the more advanced user, there is an expanded
scope of manual controls and setting adjustments including white balance, and
auto exposure shifting. Loop recording is also available, allowing users to
maximize usage of available memory card space to ensure they get the exact shot
they are looking for. The camera also features live streaming capabilities
through the U-STREAM® platform4, burst still image shooting, Motion Shot LE and
a variety of other fun, interactive features.
