Computex 2009：遗补 - 华硕说他们以后的办公室是这样

由 Atticus Wu 于 5 months 之前发表

Computex 真的是一个无敌大宝库，新闻怎么挖都挖不完，在华硕的展示摊位中有一组叫做「Seamless Experience（无接缝体验）」的展示桌中，把一些华硕的产品（包括进军庶民生活的华硕咖啡）作成类似微软 Surface 的互动接口（软件系统不明确，但确实非常像 Surface）。

由 NewGadgets.de 提供的影片看来，华硕的员工使用这个「互动会议桌」时，只消把随身硬盘放上去，档案数据满上秀出来，咖啡不够旋转一下角度想加热到几度都没问题，要分享手机上的行事历和联络人只消放上桌面上马上秀出来...

当然这些应用绝对不是什么新梗，在2008年 CES 微软的摊位上我和小姜就被震撼过了，当时我们就在思考，如果以微软操作系统王者在「商业应用」上强势推广成功后，已经默默耕耘的 Surface 软件厂商应该就是最佳得利的公司，现在又经过一年半载，我们看见的还是像华硕这样的硬件厂商作主导，期待在类似这样的餐厅/赌场/1001办公室推出之前，有更棒的 Surface 应用软件配套现世，跳转看展示影片：

Computex 2009：Toplay 听不累耳挂式耳机

由 Atticus Wu 于 5 months 之前发表

要找真正有趣的创意产品，真的不要错过世贸一馆二楼的展场。去年 Computex 我们在就在一馆二楼找到圣基创意（TOPlay）的听不累耳机，耳挂式部份也终于开始量产。

更令人高兴的是这款耳机得到 Computex BEST CHOICE 最佳25个产品，过去在 Computex BEST CHOICE 中几乎都是宏碁和华硕这种大型厂商准时拿奖的大拜拜，有这样小厂商的突破就觉的小的厂商也能透过大创意提升能见度。

这款运动用的耳挂式耳机亲自带起来算是相当舒适，完全没有重的感觉，听声音的感觉好像在耳边挂了二个小喇叭一样，非常适合骑车或运动这种想要听声音却又不能忽略外在环境使用。该款耳机在台湾地区也会销售，要价约在新台币700元(RMB147元)左右。

<Computex 2009: TOPlay OCS (Open Guided Sound) Earphone Revisited>
For those who are interested in finding creative items in Computex, the showground in the second floor of the World Trade Center Convention Hall One is a spot not to be missed. In last year's Computex, we found the TOPlay OCS earphone here. This year we drop by for a revisit.
We are glad to learn that the ear hood model of the OCS earphone has been put into mass production, and received the Computex BEST CHOICE's Top 25 Best Products award. In the past, the Computex BEST CHOICE was a routine that awards the exclusive club of major manufacturers like ACER and ASUS. It is a comfort to know that small manufacturer with big ideas still has the chance to receive the public exposure they deserved.
This ear hook model is very comfortable to wear and the audio is like having two small speakers around the ears, very suitable for cyclist, motorbike rider or outdoor sportsperson who would like to listen to music whilst paying attention to noises from surrounding environment. This earphone is available in the market, retail price in Taiwan, is around NT$700.

Computex 2009：Intel MID 之梦不死 -- Moorestown 产品抢鲜看

由 Andy Yang 于 5 months 之前发表

Moorestown 是啥？Moorestown 就是下一代的 Atom CPU，据 Intel 的说法，消耗的电力只有第一代 Atom Z 的 50 分之一。现场 Intel 展出了英业达、仁宝、广达、EB 等厂的 Moorestown 参考机器，老实说和第一代的 MID 感觉差不多，只是外型做得更薄而已。在 ARM 架构的 Smartphone（Snapdragon、Tegra）和 Netbook 之间，真的有 4"、5" 大小的行动上网装置存在的空间吗？你会带着一台这种说大不大，说小不小的上网装置在路上晃吗？

----

What is Moorestown? Oh, it is the next generation of Atom CPU, which consumes only half of the energy as the Atom Z, according to Intel. Intel has an array of Inventec, Compal and EB's model computers running on Mooretown; however, to tell the truth, they do not seem so much different from the MIDs we have now, just thinner. Between the smartphones (Snapdragon, Tegra) and netbooks, do we really need other 4" or 5" MIDs? Wouldn't it be awkward to carry around?

Computex 2009：xXtraLab 带来的关键报告多重触控技术

由 Atticus Wu 于 5 months 之前发表

****
在瘾科技上看到各式像「关键报告」电影一般的多重触控技术文章已经多到不剩枚举了，身在世贸三馆的我们也对一个又一个的多重触控面板感到迷惘，多了，也没那么稀奇了。幸好由 xXtraLab 展示的互动概念更加生动，也让我们更贴近「关键报告」的世界里。

上面多重触控展示影片，除了一般我们已经常见到的拖拉和缩放技术以外，xXtraLab 团队这次还打造了和电影「关键报告」类似的操作方式，使用者把双指贴上，作顺逆时针的选转，各式照片/影片的缩图就这样被你旋转出来。感觉惊奇吗？Computex 展期间可以前往三馆影来登的摊位，就有上述的装置展示。

没时间参加 Computex 的朋友也没关系，可以抽空到台北捷运万隆站附近，有一栋 Living 3.0 的建筑物（可说是比尔盖兹的家台湾版）展现各种科技技术在住家中的实践方式，大家可以前往预约参观，跳转看 xXtraLab 在 Living 3.0 建筑物展示的互动简报墙影片：

We've written lots of articles on multi-touch technologies. Here at Computex 2009, xXtraLab shows off their more interactive approach, and brings us closer to the world portrayed in the movie Minority Report.

This video clip shows a new way to control objects. You can now not only drag and zoom in and out on an object, but also rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise when browsing. Feeling amused? Step in the exhibition hall to find out!

If you cannot make it to Computex this year, don't worry. There is a building called Living 3.0 located near the Wan-Long station of Taipei subway. It's basically a Taiwanese version of Bill Gates' home. It is fully decked out with all sorts of technological applications for home.

Computex 2009：Pioneer 3D 影像互动感应装置 Touch Me!!!

由 Atticus Wu 于 5 months 之前发表

****

可惜碰到的只是空气...

这个技术会让使用者觉得上图这个小精灵漂浮在空中，然后你只要碰小精灵一下，马上就会换衣服给你看。感应部份的技术其实不难，类似扩增实境的概念，当感应摄影机发现有东西时，就送指令到电脑上，以改变显示图案。

Yet all we can touch is air...
This technology makes the user feels like Tinkerbell is floating in the air. As soon as you couch her, she'll start, uhm, undressing. The sensor technology is actually quite impressive and it's similar to the idea of augmented reality. When the camera captures motion, a signal will be sent back to the computer, and the display will change accordingly. Check out our video clip after the break.

Computex 2009：宏碁 F1 Snapdragon 手机影片

由 Andy Yang 于 5 months 之前发表

****
宏碁的 F1 是我们看到的第二台 Snapdragon 手机（第一只是 Toshiba 的 TG01）。这只强悍的 Smartphone 跑的是 WinMo 6.5，而 1 GHz 的处理器跑起来是一整个流畅，差不多有 iPhone 的流畅度了。其它规格有 3.8" 的屏幕、5mp 相机、HSDPA / 蓝牙 / WiFi / GPS / FM 等多种不同的无线能力。上市时间在 Q4，价格不详，但高端手机 20000 台币（RMB4205）跑不掉吧...

继续阅读里有介绍影片（英文的）。

<Computex 2009: Acer F1 Snapdragon Video>

Acer's F1 is the second Sanpdragon mobile we have seem (first one is Toshiba TG01). This high-performance Smartphone with 1GHz CPU runs Windows Mobile 6.5 smoothly, almost as smooth as iPhone. Other details on its specifications include 3.8" screen, 5 mega-pixel camera, HSDPA, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, FM and etc. Scheduled to be released around Q4 with price unknown; however we would imagine it to be from NT$20,000 upwards.

Computex 2009：义隆电子发布的 SmartPad 多媒体遥控器

由 Atticus Wu 于 5 months 之前发表

****

义隆电子的透明触控式面板成为今年 Computex 2009 「Best Choice of Year」最大赏，当然是看好为来3寸以上触控式装置将是未来消费性电子产品的新主流。除此之外义隆电也开发了一台多媒体遥控器，外型就是我们已经遗忘许久专为 Windows Media Center 设计的多媒体遥控器，但魔鬼的地方在于遥控器后背。

这款名为 SmartPad 的多媒体遥控器，神奇的地方在于后面是两块触控屏幕，你可以把它当作无线触控版使用，然后也可以把两块触控版作合体技执行多重触控功能，像我们熟悉图片拖拉放大缩小的功能全都有。

不仅如此，SmartPad 触控版部份还可以当作电视遥控器使用，电视上会有一个虚拟按键可以让你按下直接选台。最后的杀手应用大家也应该想到了，两块触控板用来打电动就对啦！

我们已经迫不及待跑去义隆电的摊位逛逛了～跳转看精彩的 SmartPad 展示影片，不看可惜！

<Computex 2009: SmartPad MultiMedia Remote Controller from ELAN Microelectronics>
ELAN Microelectronics' transparent touch panel have received this year's Computex 2009 "Best Choice of the Year' award. Obviously it's a move to cut into the new 3" and above touch-based devices market, which is becoming the new mainstream product for future consumer electronics. Apart from the touch screen panel, ELAN also developed a multimedia remote. For the appearance, it resembles the long-forgotten multimedia remote for Windows Media Center; however, the magical part of it is on the back of this remote.

This SmartPad multimedia remote controller has two touch panels on the back. It can be used as a wireless touch panel, or the two touch panels can be combined for multi-touch application, including the all familiar features like photo zoom-in and out with simple drag-and-drop action

The touch-panels can also doubles as television remote. On the television screen, there would be virtual keys for channel surfing.

We can not wait to see more from ELAN showroom. Continue for more SmartPad show reel.
