  • PDF

ViewSonic Projector

Edge-blending has been a luxury effect that comes with larger, more costly event projectors. Now ViewSonic offers an affordable solution allowing for medium-sized events and average users to enjoy widescreen projection and special image effects.

The ViewSonic EB series is a standalone processor implementing up/down scaling, format conversion, video walls, 3D decoding, curved surface display, sophisticated image edge blending, and geometric adjustment up to WQXGA input and WUXGA (full HD) output.

The EB series requires no PC for installation and operation… just connect the HDMI cable from the content player and projectors to set up the screen effect and projector position. Content players are also easily replaced for maximum flexibility.

 NanoShapes

One of the big attractions in display at DSE 2012 was NanoLumen’s line of NanoShapes. This line of displays includes a square, a circle and triangle.

The Future, According to Corning

  • PDF

Corning

Gorilla Glass maker Corning takes a look at the crystal sphere and tries to predict the future, presenting a vision of a future where virtually everything has some form of touch-based display.

Titled A Day Made of Glass 2, the video follows a family in a Corning-dominated future utopia where transparent touchscreens are everywhere-- taking over not only mobile device buttons, but also home windows, automobile dashboards and interactive whiteboards.

Corning presented an 80" Gorilla Glass display at CES 2012.

Possibly even more interesting is a second video on Corning's predictions, explaining what the company is actually working on to bring such a vision to reality.

Elo TouchSystems

New for ISE 2012 are some additional touch technologies for some of is Elo TouchSystems’ most popular touchmonitor models.

The zero-bezel design removes the frame found around standard monitors to create a seamless surface designed to showcase the HD wide-screen experience.

Elo says that zero-bezel projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology gives a unique design resistant to water, impacts, scratches and other contaminants on the screen. With the Windows 7 OS and compatible driver, multi-touch functionality is available. (and with Windows 8 on the way, this year….only better.)
