New Technology Products from CES 2012
The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2012 exhibition has recently finished, displaying some of the most recent and exciting new technology in the pipeline.
CES has been running since 1967 and has introduced such famous products as the videocassette recorder, camcorder, Nintendo Entertainment System and more recently 3D HDTV. CES 2012 didn’t pull its punches with introductions to loads of exciting and innovative technology. We share with you some of the highlights below.
OLED TV
One of the biggest releases and winner of CNET’s best of show award was the unveiling of LG’s 55inch organic light-emitting diode TV, the LG 55EM9600. The TV uses a film of organic compounds which emit light in response to an electric current. The Technology boasts such advantages as ultra fast panel, excellent viewing angles and absolute black levels; taking colour contrasts to a whole new level. And at only 4mm thick (thin) this TV makes even the iPad 2 look like it’s packing on the pounds.
Razer’s Project Fiona
Razer have bought out a gaming tablet that looks like it would be more at home at a NASA lab than at CES. Project Fiona combines a tablet with gaming control pads by integrating two gaming sticks on either side of a tablet screen. Probably one of the biggest surprises of this custom piece is a tablet with Intel’s latest Core I7 processor, making it more powerful than many laptops on the market. To sum up if you want a big PSP then you better hope this item goes from concept into mass production soon.
Lytro’s Light Field Camera
For the amateur photographers out there, the perfect product made an appearance at the show in the form of a Lytro Light Field Camera. This clever little device allows you to take a picture and then… focus it afterwards! Now the user can capture the moment without having to wait for the autofocus to kick in. This is achieved by capturing the entire light field; meaning after the picture has been taken you can set the focus to any specific point in the picture. It would not be a surprise if this becomes a standard camera feature in years to come.
Overall a very eye-opening show with 2012 shaping up to be a year of great technological advancement.
