Cameras, CES 2011, , , , ,

At the Casio booth, they showed off the EX-H20G Hybrid-GPS camera. This is a 14.1-megapixel camera that will track your location inside buildings or other places where no GPS signals can be received. Casio is calling this hybrid-GPS. The hybrid tracking is performed by a three-way accelerometer and a three-way direction sensor.

The camera also has over 10,000 world-wide landmarks programmed into the camera for locating points of interest. This allows you to see how far you are from the nearest landmark.

Other features of the camera are: 24 – 240 mm wide-angle zoom lens; 360-degree panoramic image mode, and h.264 formatted video.

Toshiba Glasses Free 3D TV

CES 2011, TVs, , , ,

Toshiba was demonstrating lots of 3D TVs in their booth at CES. 3D was the big buzz word at last year’s CES show and I wasn’t impressed.

This year all the major companies were showing 3D TVs and the technology (and price points) have improved. There are a number of issues surrounding 3D: cost, lack of content, multiple 3D technologies, and having to wear the stupid 3D glasses.

Well, Toshiba was showing off a “glasses free” 3D TV. The demo was interesting but you could tell it’s was a first generation product. You needed to be right in front of the display to see the 3D effects and it still wasn’t as good as viewing with glasses.

I don’t believe “glasses free” 3D TV (or 3D TV in general) is here for everyone, but there’s always next year.
