SoftKinetic And Intel Partner For Minority Report-Style Ads
|
Startup SoftKinetic just announced a new kind of advertising, one that combines its gesture-control technology with Intel's video analytics.
The goal is for people to walk up to a digital display equipped with SoftKinetic's 3D camera and move their arms (or the rest of their body) to interact with the display, similar to Microsoft Kinect. Then, as you're moving, Intel's AIM technology can identify your age and gender, which is crucial information for advertisers — and also useful for personalizing the content to each viewer.

Panasonic adds Lumix DMC-TS4 and DMC-TS20 to ruggedized camera line
|
|
Panasonic has helped lead the market for ruggedized cameras, which have been a hit among adventurous photographers for years, and now the company has two new additions to add to its water/shock/freeze/dustproof cam line. Described as "the optical outdoor companion," the Lumix DMC-TS4 is Panasonic's new ruggedized flagship, replacing the TS3 and packing a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor, 1080/60i HD video capture, a 4.6x 28-128mm optical zoom lens and 2.7-inch LCD. Naturally, it can withstand just about everything you'll throw its way, considering that it's waterproof to depths of 40 feet, shockproof to 6.6 feet and freezeproof to temps as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. The TS4 also includes GPS, compass, altimeter and barometer functionality, logging all this data to supplement your photos with a full weather and location readout. Panasonic has also added full manual control, letting you adjust both aperture and shutter speed when shooting in manual mode.The TS4 may offer a respectable spec list, but it doesn't come cheap. The TS20 is an attractive alliterative, however, with a slim profile, 16.1 megapixel sensor, 720p HD shooting, a 4x 25-100mm optically stabilized zoom lens and a 2.7-inch LCD. It's waterproof to 16 feet, freezeproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and can survive drops from up to five feet. There's no manual option on this lower-end model, but it does include Panasonic's Intelligent Auto mode for more accurate shooting. The TS20 will ship in late-February in orange, blue, black and red for $180, while the flagship TS4 will be available in orange, blue, black and silver for $400 when it ships in mid-March. You'll find both press releases after the break.Gallery: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 and DMC-TS20Continue reading Panasonic adds Lumix DMC-TS4 and DMC-TS20 to ruggedized camera linePanasonic adds Lumix DMC-TS4 and DMC-TS20 to ruggedized camera line originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 EDT.

Panasonic introduces Lumix DMC-ZS20 and ZS15 compact superzoom cameras
|
|
We've seen Panasonic's 2012 lineup of ruggedized and entry-level point-and-shoot cameras, but now the Japanese-based manufacturer is unleashing a pair of compact "Traveler Zoom" cams to the 2012 mix. The Lumix DMC-ZS20 and ZS15 include 20x (24-480mm) and 16x (24-384mm) optically stabilized zoom lenses, respectively, 3-inch 460k-pixel LCDs, 1/2.3-inch High Sensitivity MOS sensors and a 10 fps burst shooting mode (5 fps with continuous AF). The higher-end ZS20 features a 14.1 megapixel sensor and 1080/60p video shooting while the ZS15 captures 12.1 megapixel stills and 1080/60i HD clips. Both cameras include 0.1-second "Light Speed Autofocus" and top sensitivity levels of ISO 3200, though you'll need to opt for the ZS20 to take advantage of GPS with map logging and a noise-canceling stereo mic. The pair will ship in March, with a black, red, white or silver ZS20 running you $350, compared with a $280 price tag on the black or silver ZS15. As always, you'll find the full PR after the break.Gallery: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 and DMC-ZS15Continue reading Panasonic introduces Lumix DMC-ZS20 and ZS15 compact superzoom camerasPanasonic introduces Lumix DMC-ZS20 and ZS15 compact superzoom cameras originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 EDT.
