GOAB: A TV Experience Concept
New technical possibilities are the mainspring of the today’s television. The needs of the viewers seem secondary.
Today, watching tv can mean a lot of things: TV via Internet, web content via TV, video on demand, IPTV, cable, satellite, DVB-T, mobile television, etc.
But, how do we want to watch tv in the future?
This is an interesting take on dual screening for TV and iPad.
A lovely interface that is easy to use, and in-show information on whatever you are watching.
This dual-screening seems to have taken off since Heineken Star-player by AKQA.
Renaults clever campaign showing the values of the switch from gas to electric.
Renault has released a new television advertising campaign titled “The Electric Life” to promote it’s latest line of electric cars. It’s a very clever commercial, which creatively puts forward the argument for switching to an electric car and picking up a Z.E. I particularly love the part when the EFTPOS machine coughs and splutters, and the waiter has to fill it up with a few drops of petrol to complete the transaction. A very cool concept indeed!
Glasses free 3D TV - taken to the next level
We’ve already seen plenty of glasses-free 3D HDTVs and portable devices, but a promising new technology called HR3D (High-Rank 3D) has hit the prototype phase. Engineers from MIT’s Media Lab, who developed the new solution, say that it avoids compromising on screen brightness, resolution, viewing angle, and battery life, and doesn’t require those pesky (and pricey) 3D glasses. HR3D uses a pair of layered LCDs to give the illusion of depth, with the top layer (or mask) displaying a variable pattern based on the image below it, so each eye sees a slightly different picture. Nintendo’s 3DS uses a similar technique, but with a parallax barrier instead of a second display. The designers constructed the prototype from two Viewsonic VX2265wm displays, removing the LCDs from their housings and pulling off polarizing filters and films. We’ve yet to go eyes-on with HR3D, so we’re a mite skeptical, but tech this promising is worth watching closely, and from every angle.
