Accupix MPG-230M:VR Theater

Accupix MPG-230M:VR Theater 09/22/2004 04:23 PM

Just when you thought it was safe to put that black leather trench coat and shiny mylar shirt back in the closet, a company called Accupix launches a new "virtual theater" display called MPG-230M. The glasses, when worn, simulate a 30-inch screen viewed from about 6 feet away, but sadly only accept a composite video input. The native resolution of the glasses is 800 x 225 pixels, which is a little bit better than the Glasstrons and the like from the '90s.

No word if the MPG-230M will be available for purchase any time soon, at least here in the US. Korean importers might be the place to start looking.

Kokoro Co, a Japanese robotics and animatronics company, is showing a new product at the International Robot Exhibition this year. They have created a humanoid robot called an Actroid. The Actroid is a female, humanoid robot that can blink her eyes, speak, and features several facial expressions. The robot is air-driven and apparently requires an external, 3.7kW compressor. The company has previously shown stylized, animtronic karakuri dolls that dance during a robotic museum exhibition.

Who Says Black Theater Is Having a Tough
Time? 04/14/2004 09:11 PM
In the midst of downsizing, Kenny Leon, the director of "A Raisin in the Sun," is trying to establish something unheard of since the 1970's: a national black theater company.

Air travel "security" as theater of the
absurd

Air travel "security" as theater of the
absurd 01/22/2004 12:46 PM
US air-travel security is becoming more and more of a performance of the absurd, as this very good blog-post on Idle Words, inspired by the new "No queueing up for the in-flight pissoir rule" points out:

How is this measure in any way enforceable? Is the pilot expected to divert the flight? Perform a barrel roll at the first sign of a pee queue? And how, exactly, is the sight of multiple passengers simultaneously lunging from their seats towards a suddenly available lavatory an attractive alternative to having a little group milling about by one of the galleys?

I was filled with curiousity to see if the pilot would perform an emergency landing at Reykjavik after the meal service, but of course (inevitably) everyone just ignored the directive, and let the passengers empty their bladders in peace. On an eight-hour flight with free alcohol and predominantly Russian passengers, there was just no other solution.

Two Other Panasonic Home Theater Goods

Two Other Panasonic Home Theater Goods 04/06/2005 06:01 PM

While we’re on the topic of Panasonic, I’ll also mention two other new home theater products from the company.

The “SC-HT06” is a 2.1ch audio system with Dolby Virtual Speaker (DVS) technology. This is to fool you into thinking you have a real surround sound setup. The amplifier is provides a total 300W of output, and has three digital inputs: two optical and one coaxial.

“Dual Amp” technology is the focus of the “SA-XR55” amplifier, meaning you can provide twice the amount of power to your speakers. It has features out the wazoo: 7.1ch audio, 192kHz sampling all the way from input to output, and improvement of mid-range tones using “VGDA” (Variable Gain Digital Amplifier). You’ll probably find a crapload of things to like about the SA-XR55, assuming you can afford the 55,000 yen price tag.

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

JVC has a new set of home theater systems out in Japan that transmit sound to the read speakers wireless via radio; a radio that, unfortunately, broadcasts on the 2.4GHz spectrum -- the same frequency as Wi-Fi. The TH-SW5 otherwise looks like a solid system, but perhaps another model at 5GHz or 900MHz would be optimal. Or maybe -- stay with me -- user selectable frequency. There aren't plans to release it here, though, to my knowledge, but I'd hate to be the Japanese consumer who has to choose between their network and their speakers.

My dream wireless speakers receive audio and power through a fixed microwave beam. If you couldn't navigate through the matrix of flesh-searing invisible conduits, you wouldn't be worthy to watch the extended edition of Groundhog Day.
