Panasonic 65" Plasma Touch Screen

Panasonic 65" Plasma Touch Screen 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

InfoSync World cleans up their CeBIT coverage with a piece on Panasonic's 65" Plasma HDTV with an infrared frame that turns it into an enormous touch screen. Referencing Minority Report far too many times, the reviewer tells us that Panasonic had developed some very specific weather tracking and aerial navigation software to take advantage of the touch capabilities. The great part is that the infrared unit is an independent frame around the television and Panasonic also makes a 42" and 50" model, so retrofitting your existing Plasma shouldn't be too difficult. It's USB-powered and accurate up to 2x2 millimeters. No word on price or availability, but a quick Google search pulled up a German Lycos catalog page with a price of about $5,150 for the 50" model.

Not Quite A Touch Screen To Let You Feel
Fabrics Online

Not Quite A Touch Screen To Let You Feel
Fabrics Online 09/10/2004 01:18 PM
One of the problems some people have with buying clothing online is that they can't "feel" the fabric. They can't pick it up, move it around, and see how well it's really made. A student in the UK has designed some software to try to solve this problem, letting users "feel" clothing online. The software tries to make it easier to sense "softness, fullness, smoothness, hairiness, prickliness, drape, thickness, elasticity, rigidity and warmth" of the fabric using some 3D animations. For example, to see "hairiness" it would show a close up, and as the user moved the mouse, you could see how the fibers moved. Of course, if they combined this with a bit of haptics to give some touch feedback, it might seem a lot more useful. Realistically, this is just a bunch of video demonstrations about the fabric.

Ohio Halts Electronic Voting Deployment

Ohio Halts Electronic Voting Deployment 12/03/2003 12:17 PM
Beck writes "Electronic voting was to be deployed in Ohio statewide by March, but due to numerous security flaws found in the voting systems the state has delayed certification of the systems, possibly until 2006. Diebold's system had the most problems, but all of the systems had numerous flaws. Many scenarios were found where a person without proper authority was able to manipulate election results. The Ohio Secretary of State released a report detailing 57 security flaws. (The entire report was released, unlike the state of Maryland, which blacked out much of their report.) There was no indication in the article of whether the state will require voter-verified printed receipts. By the way, the Diebold poll supervisor password is 1111 - nationwide - which was just one of the many flaws discovered." The article actually suggests that most of the problems may be solved in 60 days and the machines may be offered again just a few months later than originally planned - so it doesn't sound like they'll require a paper trail. Also, it's pointed out in the article that all of these machines declared problematic had already been "certified" by the state, showing just how ridiculous the certification process is.

Touch Screen Machine Scaring Off Senior
Citizen Election Judges 02/13/2004 03:31 AM
Well, here's a completely unexpected consequence of Maryland going to all touchscreen voting systems: the election judges who watch over the voting process, who are mostly senior citizens, are scared off by the high-tech machines. The old voting system, they could handle. However, understanding a touchscreen voting system when many of them are still shying away from computers is too much. And, apparently, it's not easy to find election judges, so when they scare off a good percentage of the usual crowd, there's a definite shortage.

Ohio Authorizes E-Voting, Wants Paper
Record Within Two Years 05/10/2004 11:53 AM
While California is banning all e-voting machines unless they agree to some fairly strict security provisions, it looks like Ohio has now auth orized the use of e-voting machines for the November election. The state will require a paper trail for e-voting machines - but not until May of 2006. If they're going to require it anyway, I don't see why they shouldn't require it now. This basically means that for the next two years we have no way of knowing how accurate votes from Ohio will be.

HP opts to not use Centrino for professional models: HP is worried about corporate customers who don't want built-in obsolescence through built-in wireless. They'd rather offer interchangeable cards. They will use the Pentium-M, though, which the author of this piece implies is a different piece of technology. HP will introduce 802.11a, b, and g through an Atheros module in mini-PCI format in May. A consumer Centrino will follow in June.
