Microsoft intros the TouchWall — maps will never be the same again
31 05 2008If you’ve been watching CNN’s election coverage lately (and we think you have), then you’ve probably seen anchor John King tripping the light fantastic on the channel’s Magic Wall touchscreen. Apparently, Microsoft has come up with its own version of the board — essentially a Surface flipped on its side and mounted. The device, known as the TouchWall, joins a handful of finger-friendly prototypes that Microsoft Research is working on (including a spherical unit we assume will be used strictly for world domination campaigns). The 4-foot-by-6-foot “wall” uses inexpensive infrared sensors and a rear-mounted camera — which can be added to a variety of surfaces — in order to create the hands-on experience. The company appears to be targeting this as a low cost “intelligent whiteboard” solution, so hopefully they’ll be turning up in schools, small businesses, and the Techlogique offices soon.

Panasonic VIERACast internet-enabled plasmas due this summer
22 05 2008After slipping past their original spring release date, Panasonic’s PZ850 series of plasmas are no longer the only ones with YouTube support, but those desiring internet features, high contrast ratios and easy-access calibration settings can expect them on shelves this summer. The 46-, 50- and 58-inch versions should all be available in mid-June, with the 65-incher rolling out in August. Other than the IP features (Picasa access is also part of the package) the THX-certified PZ850s support h.264 playback from the SD card slot, RS-232C, 24p native playback, and a variety of display modes and settings to get the picture just the way the director intended, the way you like it, or anywhere in between.
