Gadgets
Finally, in no particular order, here are a
series of items that wouldn’t fit into any other
category.
A view of the show, South Hall:
New Altec mini ‘Orbit’ MP3 player speakers:
Earthquake powered subwoofer:
A nice looking 2 X 2 video wall:
Various FM radios by an overseas company:
Tivoli radio clones, anyone?
The Edifer all white booth. How they kept it
clean looking is beyond me. Oh right, there was
little traffic at the show…
Lumagen is now making their top of the line
Radiance video processor (more
info) for Sencore:
OK, this I liked. This unit uses a piezo
membrane vibrator alongside any touch screen
surface, to give you active feedback as you push
on a touch sensitive keyboard. The sales rep
said that the piezo vibration could be modified
to vibrate quickly or slowly depending on what
button you pushed. It gave a really nice feel to
a touchpad that normally gives no indication
otherwise whether the function you push was
actually activated or not. This has lots of
potential:
