Meet Sony 3D OLED Glasses

koibito — Tue, 24 May 2011 11:31:46 +0000

The new Sony 3D OLED Glasses has two 3D OLED screens and a total resolution of 1280×720 pixels gives super HD video clarity. There’s also room for both HD and 3D with these babies, and they also come with simulated 5.1 surround sound and connection to most gaming and media devices through HDMI.
The Sony representative noted the glasses would most likely utilize a HDMI connection, meaning it could work with a variety of content sources, including 3D Blu-ray players, PS3, PC, and so forth. The glasses also defeat a major problem the company faces with OLED, as large screen OLED displays are difficult to sell at reasonable prices because of the high manufacturing cost.

Mimicking an aerosol can, Paris-based designer Aïssa Logerot’s Halo uses an LED light in place of a nozzle and gets its power from the same shaking action that mixes the paint.
The interchangeable LED bulbs allow different colors and brightness depending on the occasion.

koibito — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 22:43:44 +0000

Pressure Drop just rolled out JukeDock, a $100 system that lets you plug your iPod into your TV, stereo and computer, giving you some
snazzy blinking lights at the same time.
Compatible with most iPods, its LED lights have three brightness levels that can bounce along with the music, cycle among various colors, give you a steady color or can even go into a psychedelic rainbow mode for those nights you feel like pulling out that Pink Floyd album.
This looks like a fun little device to which you can attach your iPod, give yourself some retro-deco lighting, and easily control with your existing stereo’s remote. Jump for more pics. Charlie White

History of LED calculator watches

koibito — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 03:57:03 +0000

Watchismo, a stupendous vintage watch blog, has a drool-inducing feature on the history of calculator watches. (I would have blogged this post about the amazing, domed Rolex diving watch, but at $250,000 a throw, they’re more heartbreaking than wonderful.)

Playboy magazine, June 1975…A gift-giving
advertisement with ideas for dads & grads included this guy hidden
in the back. The Calcron LED Wrist Calculator. Likely the first public
offering of it’s kind.

Cell Phone Disco – playful experimental installation

koibito — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 19:57:32 +0000

Cell Phone Disco is a playful experimental installation made out of flashing cells. By multiplication of a mobile phone gadget, only slightly altered consumer product, we created a space to experience the invisible body of the mobile phone.

Flashing cells basically consist of one or more LEDs, battery and a sensor that detects electromagnetic (EM) radiation transmitted by an active mobile phone. When the sensor detects EM waves it sets off the LEDs to flash for a couple of seconds. In general the flashing cells are enclosed in a plastic casing on a strap and sold as a fashion accessory for a mobile phone.

The Cell Phone Disco installation has two parts:
MOBILE AURA Flashing cells with sensors of higher sensitivity are used to detect electromagnetic radiation of active mobile phone in a range of approximately a meter. This way a sort of aura appears around the phone, revealing a part of itâ€™s invisible body.While the user moves around talking on his phone, this aura follows the conversation as a light shadow through the space.
MOBILE DRAWINGMuch less sensitive cells are used to create a canvas for an inkless marker. The LEDs get activated only by an extreme proximity of the electromagnetic source. Moving the phone close to the cells therefore leaves a trace of light, an temporary electromagnetic drawing.

Massive Installation Utilizes More Than 40,000 LEDs

iBand – a wearable device for handshake-augmented interpersonal information exchange

koibito — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 04:38:12 +0000

The iBand project aims to leverage the simple gesture of the handshake, coupled with the qualities of jewelry to act as tangible keepsakes and reminders of relationships, to explore potential applications at the intersection of social networking and ubiquitous computing.

The prototype is a wearable bracelet, adjustable in design for different kinds of users (male, female). When worn, the circuit board and battery lay flat under the wrist and an infrared (IR) transceiver is positioned near the back of the thumb pointing toward the hand such that it is visible to an IR transceiver on another device when shaking hands. A handshake is detected via infrared transceiver alignment combined with hand/wrist orientation and gesture recognition using a 2-axis accelerometer.

In a full experience with this prototype, the user first enters contact/biographical information into a kiosk, which stores it in a database and assigns a unique ID number to their iBand. The user can also create a personal logo that appears on the LED display woven into their device. When the user shakes hands with another iBand user, ID numbers and logos are exchanged and stored. The LED display cycles through the stored logos at a pace reflecting the number of hands that have been shaken. When the user returns to the kiosk, it displays a list of new contacts by looking up the collected ID numbers in the database.
