Televisions without remote controls?
Imagine watching television and with a just
wave of your hand, changing the channel or volume. It may not be too far off in the future. Toshiba
and Hitachi revealed the new technology to test the interest in losing
the remote… for good. With a few gestures, you may
be able to control power, channel, mute and volume. Can I see
a show of hands? Anyone interested?
Video Games and Motion Pictures that Move
You
Shouldn’t movies really move you? With D-box technology,
movies will be a VERY moving experience. Motion coding is used
in their labs to make certain that every movement in a movie, every
explosion, and every action scene moves your chair. From reclining
theater seats to Formula 1 racing cockpits, there are many models
to choose from that will truly put you into the action.

Speakers: Too much of a good thing
There are many schools of thought when it comes
to speaker systems, and the room is getting even more crowded now. Dolby Digital
has a new offering that includes two additional front channel speakers,
for a total of 10 speakers, including the subwoofer. When Pro
Logic hit the scene in the late 1980s, people had a hard time imagining
the need for five speakers in their family room. Advancements
in processing since then have greatly improved the dynamics and realism
of the surround effects, but more speakers? When is enough,
enough? While I admit that we could hear the placement of the
front channel effects better in a gaming application, most people
will do just fine with five speakers. In a larger room or
a dedicated theater, the surround/surround back configuration of
a 7.1 speaker system makes sense too. We’ll see if 9.1
ever gets from the drawing board to the home. |
