HP visited Duke’s Technology Engagement Center (TEC) this morning to provide an overview of their Sprout Pro G2. Describing the Sprout is a tricky thing to do considering the unique capabilities of the device. As HP was quick to mention, there really isn’t anything else like Sprout on the market, and until seeing it function, […]
Following up on Wacom’s Companion series, the MobileStudio Pro doubles down on power and capability. If you’re looking for the functionality of a tablet-aided desktop on the go, it’s an incredible tool. Even more so than the Companion, the MobileStudio Pro feels like a tablet built for professional designers, and less so one for the average […]
Since joining OIT as a video producer last year, my responsibilities have broadened to include animation and its integration into our production workflow. Our process normally incorporates 2D animation however we see a need for 3D animation/modeling rising on the horizon. Utilizing Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, and Cinema 4D lite, I created a short sequence intended to […]
We used the 3D printing technology at the new Technology Engagement Center at Duke to help solve a tricky integration problem for our Crestron Scheduler.
Izon Technologies delivered our long anticipated 3D TV that requires no glasses. We had been waiting for a “short throw” version which is still in development so we opted to get their standard model. This model is designed for digital signage applications so you need to be about 10 feet away for the best effect. […]
With the incredible demonstration of glasses free 3D we saw last week from Izon TV, we reached out to our go to technology innovator, Dr. Len White from Duke Institute Of Brain Science in order to create some new content for further testing when we get the monitor back in January. This was our first lab […]
Wow. If that’s all I wrote on this update, that would pretty much sum it up. The 50″ Glasses Free 3D TV from Izon TV is a true breakthrough in immersive viewing technology. The system uses the lenticular lens and 4k panel as others in the field, but the “magic” is in the software. Unlike […]
We’ve been talking about glasses free 3D televisions for the last few years (NAB 2014 Report) and have seen good advances in phones and viewfinders for 3D cameras. I was excited to hear at this year’s NAB that the monitor that had been shown as a prototype was finally in production. Dimenco provided us with […]
I was able to attend the World Maker Faire this year in NYC. It was an excellent and well attended event. As one might imagine there was a focus on 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, CNC routing and other fabrication technologies. We say products from brand new start-ups to seasoned industry veterans like Durham’s own ShopBot. […]
Mark McGill has brought his Oculus Rift in for demos over the last few weeks. I was impressed with this form of interactivity but also questioned if this would ever become “main stream” or at least more widely accepted given the physical constraints of the system. As we start to really look at glasses free 3D […]
