It’s one of the most hard to control shows out there. It’s as big as any show should ever be and it keeps spreading all over Las Vegas like a bad virus. It’s CES. We love it and we hate it. Its virtually impossible to hear anything at that show except the biggest brands and their exciting news about nothing. It’s annoying. And it’s the world we live in today. Small companies have a tougher and tougher time getting any mindshare out there are big obnoxious trade shows and yet they all flock there like moths to the flame.
That’s cool, we will be there too, but we will try and dig out some juicy bits like what PrimeSense is doing post MS Kinect. And whats going on with content in terms of TV and GoogleTV – we hear that a company out of the UK, MiniWeb is doing some sneak previews of a new TV app which we want to get our hands, uh, eyeballs on. — JLH

natural interface
I have been thinking a lot about natural interfaces – they must be In short, how are natural interaction revolutionizing Consumer Electronics and how is technology now adapting to the user, its master? Took a look at Primesense, a tech company out of Israel and here is what I found:
- Today people are faced with a greater number of devices to connect to networks, a large number of which are mobile personal devices. The challenge for designers and developers is how to create user interfaces that are able to adapt to the interaction resources of the device while making it simple and intuitive for the user. Users want to be able to pick up their device and use it without a tutorial. Natural Interaction is allowing consumer electronic devices – TV, gaming, cars, GPS, mobile –to adapt to the user instead of making the user adapt to the device.
- Natural interfaces will create a bridge between machines and humans to allow users to interact with technology in a natural and humanistic way. Advances in portability and instant availability have taken the mobile phone to the next level, but interaction on the mobile device has not had a chance to evolve as quickly as the applications that users want. PrimeSense sees for the future the entire ecosystem of devices, including mobile, co-existing with humans in a way that makes life easier by bringing together all the elements of the human sensory experience – voice, sight, touch, biometrics, movements and gestures.
