Lifelike Ultra High Definition Video

Lifelike Ultra High Definition Video 06/03/2004 10:20 AM

Hey, who told the Times' Circuits section about something interesting? You made us miss a incisive column they were going to write about why spam is bad how some people like the iPod. Instead, we got this profile of Japanese broadcaster NHK's work to develop Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV), the 7,680 by 4,320 pixel resolution television standard that aims to hit 'as good as really there' levels of visual fidelity (you know, the kind of quality so good that it makes people puke from watching it. The awesome kind, I'm saying.) Take that massive resolution, add a 60 frame per second refresh and 22 channels of surround sound ("10 speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low frequency effects") and you end up with video files that end up taking up 3.5 terabytes of storage for just 18 minutes of footage. Don't expect UHDV anytime soon, of course. NHK started developing HDTV, which is just now taking hold, in the 1960s. (Thanks, Jeffrey!)

Sony's X-Brite Flat Panel Monitors:
SDM-HS74P and SDM-HS94P 07/08/2004 12:29 PM

Sony has taken its impressive X-Brite/X-Black LCD flat-panel technology out of its VAIO notebook computers and placed it in a couple of new standalone monitors, the 17-inch SDM-HS74P and the 19-inch SDM-HS94P, both of which share a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024. If you haven't seen an X-Brite screen before, it's worth checking out. While you won't mistake it for real life, no birds will try to fly through it or anything, but the special anti-glare filter that Sony uses really does make for a nice looking monitor. The Register doesn't have prices, but a cursory scan of the web shows prices around $600 for the 17-inch model, and around $850 for the 19-inch.

Oh, and the response times -- the refresh rate, basically; the thing that determines how good moving images look -- are nice, as well, with a 12ms rating on the 19-inch and a 16ms on the 17-inch.

Will Flat Panels Ever Replace CRTs?

Will Flat Panels Ever Replace CRTs? 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
When placed next to a sleek flat-panel monitor, a cathode ray tube (CRT) looks bulky and archaic, as much a remnant of the recent past as a rotary-dial phone. But do not count the big boxes out yet. Despite their bulky appearance, CRTs trump flat panels in some areas.

Sponsors, speakers, panels, audience

Sponsors, speakers, panels, audience 05/07/2004 01:39 PM

Supernova and the recently announced Web 2.0 conference are throwbacks to the priorities of old conferences, of the eighties and nineties: sponsors, speakers, panels, audience.

Execs from high tech companies pay sponsorship fees, not disclosed, and guarantee that the content is paid advertising and that nothing real is said on stage. If you don't pay the sponsorship fee, you don't get a speaking slot. If you offend a sponsor, you don't get invited back.

These conferences are all spin, and empty bluster.

The organization of the conferences, with speakers and panels, guarantees that the audience falls asleep or is frustrated, waiting to make their point until they get to ask questions at the end of the session. Questions. What a silly concept. Look in the room. It's pretty likely the people who know the most are in the "audience."

By the end of the day people are in the hallway or outside, talking to each other, and when that gets boring, talking on cell phones.

Now that they have WiFi, at least there's an outlet for the audience's ideas, their blogs.

But as we learned at BloggerCon II, it's totally possible to do a conference without sponsors, without speakers, panels, without an audience. In this model, the rooms are full to capacity and even though there's WiFi, there was hardly any time to post to blogs. You can steal the design for this conference. And if you do, sign me up, I want to be there.

If you really want to get the most out of people's time, switch models. You don't need the money from the sponsors, and you don't need speakers, and you surely don't need an audience.

Colour Schemes

Colour Schemes 05/14/2004 03:13 PM

A designer's 'style' is made up of a number of different factors, though colour plays a large role. Everyone has their own method of coming up with a good colour scheme, which will inevitably affect the results.

Technical

A 'technical' method of colour-selection involves choosing one or two dominant colours from the colour wheel, to be used with a small set of complementary colours. Basic colour theory concepts like split complementary and triadic colour schemes offer a wide range of variation, particularly when you start throwing in shades, tints, and saturation adjustments.

Pro: An easy way to start with good, workable colour. Con: being too technical can lead to dull and uninspired colour choice.

Matching

Matching involves starting with an image or an object (usually a photograph) and picking colours from within to generate a colour scheme. Boxes and Arrows ran a great article a while ago about selecting colours from nature.

Pro: Naturalistic, familiar-feeling colour schemes that appeal. Con: it's easy to select the wrong colours from a photo.

Intuition

Probably my most frequently-used method. I begin with a blank canvas and fill it with whatever colours seem appropriate. Naturally my mind computes the corresponding compliementary and similar colours on the fly, but now and then I'll ignore solid colour theory just to see where it gets me. Hence this site's colour scheme, among others.

Pro: Fresh and surprising colour schemes. Con: dangerous without a solid knowledge of colour theory. Dangerous even with.

These are a few of my own methods, and what influences my design sensibility. Others will differ, of course. Tell me about your own methods, comments are open.

Origin of colour-trends

Origin of colour-trends 07/14/2004 03:38 PM
Teresa Nielsen Hayden has written an amazing, heavily linked, well-researched piece on the Color Marketing Group, a trade association that determines each season's "in" colours and dictates the national pallette.

I knew what was up with the big khaki push. Remember that one? Ads everywhere saying "Hemingway wore khaki"? We'd all been wearing black for several years. We had black levis, good black skirts, black leather or denim jackets, little black dresses—a great installed user base of basic black clothing, plus the colored stuff we wore with it. I hadn't heard anyone sighing for the return of khaki, and if I had, I'd have pointed them to one of the WASP mail-order catalogues. What's the big deal with khaki? It gets dirty too easily, and for a lot of people it's an unbecoming color. But there's only so much new black clothing you can sell a happy consumer who already has a closet full of black-and-coordinates; so the clothing industry pushed khaki remorselessly.
