Samsung NX10

Samsung will be displaying its new NX10 digital SLR (DSLR) camera during the 2010 International Consumer Electronics show that will be held in Las Vegas starting Thursday.
The NX10 has a 14.6 MP APS-C size CMOS sensor and  large 3.0” AMOLED screen in a compact body that measures 4.8” x 3.4” x 1.6” (excluding the projecting parts of the camera).
Consumers want something compact that they can carry around with them all day,  says SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company.
"For the first time in the market, Samsung has successfully integrated an APS-C size sensor into a compact body by eliminating the mirror box, meaning that our users can now be as creative as they want to be on the move without having to compromise on image quality,” he says.
The company´s latest innovation, the new DRIMe II Pro engine and advanced AF algorithm, also provide ultra fast AF speed with the higher precision of contrast AF.
Additionally, the 3.0" AMOLED display provides 10,000 times faster response rate than conventional LCDs, has a far lower power consumption and higher contrast ratio � 10,000:1 vs. 500:1.
Users can also record video with HD movie recording (H.264 codec).
The Samsung NX10 also includes in-depth manual controls and a Smart Auto function which automatically detects the surrounding environment of the shot and selects the best shooting mode.
Its Smart Range feature also enables the user to vividly express both bright areas and dark areas in the same frame, and the Supersonic Dust Reduction system keeps those dust particles clear of the image sensor that can often impair an image.
It even senses when the user brings the camera close to their face to look through the viewfinder, and puts the AMOLED screen on standby to conserve power.
The NX10 will be available in two colors -- Noble Black and Titan Silver.

The New Sony 3D TV

Wow Its So Realistic, LOVE IT !!

Sony’s 3D TV Commercial

Sony has released a football-themed television commercial for 3D TV, featuring 2D doubled versions of Kaka. The ad was launched on television in Europe during the final of the Champions League in Madrid, along with an outdoor projection in Plaza Santa Ana, Madrid. A fully-functioning 3D version will be broadcast in cinemas across Europe prior to screenings of 3D films throughout the summer. “Please do not adjust your set… This is 3D TV… Maybe it’s time to get a 3D TV” at the beginning of the year was all about two things, tablet devices and 3DTV. The first tablet device – the Apple iPad will be launched next month – but it is the 3D TV that we are interested in most. Sony is to announce a range of new models that will be released in June and July – just in time for the PS3 3D games in the summer.
Not only is Sony launching a range of 3DTVs, Samsung and Panasonic are to unveil theirs at events planned for this week. The new televisions will look much like the NX800 series, which as you can see from the images on Engadget looks sleek and sexy.

About The Concept

*design concept
“Form follows you”
A personal mobile communication device which lets you be free and fun. It is light, simple and carefree. You can change its form according to your needs during the day.
*target
It is targeted to the young consumers who are likely to be active and take place in a lot of different activities.
*why this target ?
Because they move and change place too much. They do a lot of different things during the day. So that’s what my design offers : to adjust to the moment, the place and the function.
*technologies that are used
It uses liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, touch sensitive body cover which lets it understand and adjust to the environment. It has a simple programmable body mechanism so that it changes forms in different situations.
*the functionality of design
You dont have to carry it in your pocket or on your wrist. You can carry it anywhere, in anyform. You can roll it, bend it, put on your clothes like a clip. It also makes some form changes that makes it more ergonomical: i.e. when you want to talk on the phone, the body form turns into the form of the good old telephone. You can personalize these forms and record them. So it fits you the best in the way that you have chosen. The functions that it has also create a feeling of electronical pet, as it senses your moves, understand what you want, respond you in the best way. It learns you, to fit you better.Also e-motions lets you send forms to the other 888 users. It could be the shape of a heart or a small dance. This way you can talk without words.
*how the user interacts
E-motions… It means electronical motions that 888 has. You can send and receive forms from / to friends. You can send a heart shape to your girlfriend, so her telephone turns into an icon of heart. Or you can send a dancing form to your friends to call them to the party tonight. This is the fun side of the product. If we look from the functionality side, 888 is quite flexible. You can put it into your pocket, roll it and make it smaller, or put on your wrist when you want to make a video call on the go. If you want to talk like a normal telephone, there you have your telephone shape. We go through a lot of places and situations in the daily life, so it seems like one form is not enough.
*what is unique ?
You can change the form of the body. Not just the color. And you can do the same by sending an e-motion to your friend.
*the inspiration
The idea is that “the perfect form” does not exist. “Form follows you”
We create the perfect form for each function.
