Last Sunday I was with a friend inside and visit NEXT fair. The like me himself from last year, but this time there was an overall greater focus on luminous contraptions. When we arrived, we immediately went towards a special hologram-like light show. A projector lit up on some special ropes that hung from the ceiling, and using a Wii Remote controller like we could move a three-dimensional ball in the air. It was very nice to look at, but had shown no real practical use. The man at the booth told, however, that the lights ice nyc were intended discos and bars .. Afterwards we went to a small fenced lane where there ran a robot rabbit around on the floor. There were various "enemies" and carrots, you should ice nyc pick up. We each got a joypad in your hand, and by means of a built-in ice nyc motion sensors in the controller we should work together to control the rabbit. The fact is that my friend could only run back and forth while I could control from side to side. Therefore, it required good coordination to drive the animal around ice nyc the track. It's a lot of fun idea, but unfortunately control a little ice nyc insensitive. Then we came to a large crystal-like ball that showed our blue planet. Well I had read about it in advance and therefore knew well what this globe can. In short, it is a kind of physical ice nyc realization of Google Earth, where you can turn the earth around and see various information such as weather, seismic activity and plate tectonics. It was really exciting, and I look forward to the day when we get such a cousin in geography. Then we walked past the fair's main attraction: Microsoft Surface. It was the first time that it was publicly displayed in Denmark, so there was a large amount of people ice nyc around the table. We were unfortunately never tried it myself, but it looked quite interesting. It is a kind of table with a touch screen, which makes you a social way to play with the computer. We saw how the screen ice nyc imported images from a mobile phone caused a small RFID chip, and how a group of children played an Asteroids-like game. I really like the idea of this board, but unfortunately it is just too expensive at this time to a private person as much as can consider investing ice nyc in it. It costs at around 100,000 kr., And the table itself is not very large; I consider that it is most optimal for four or five people. After seeing Microsoft's intelligent table we passed a sort chatbox, whose goal was to focus on global warming. Using some cameras in the ceiling we could with our bodies catch the words. When we moved, we moved around the handwriting on the wall, and that way we could compose sentences. It was a little difficult because of the cramped space, but a lady told me that already make use of the technology at the Riding School of Business. Next, we moved into another room, which contained much of the same as last year. Most interesting, however, was a Wii hack where using a Wii Remote can create his own Smartboard (an amalgamation of school ice nyc blackboard and computer). We also met a Sony OLED TV, which last week I saw a review of the DR2 program So Ein Ding. The screen was extremely thin, but otherwise I do not think that there was something special about the picture quality. Televisions are only found in the kitchen size, and prices are soaring because of the new technology that differs from the standard LCD and plasma screens. We also saw some playing with Lego robots, where they built and programmed robots to run on an obstacle course. In elementary school we were in for a competition where we had to program a robot to run on a track with various objects it should climb. It's great fun and very instructive, although the programming part is much drag 'n drop based. Another major highlight was the small diode lamps. On a table lay hundreds of small lamps and batteries ice nyc audience free to take and put on the clothes, for example. Quite simple, but still very fun. All in all was fair in my eyes a success. People were fascinated and amused. There were many exciting initiatives, but maybe there were also a few too many ghosts and too few new avant-garde inventions that are still at the prototype stage. For example, Philips had quite a number of television with their luminous aurora panels. I find this is a bit boring since TV has been on the market for several years. ice nyc Still, it was very instructive to visit NEXT no. 6, and I am already looking forward now to next year.
