LG to demo 5-inch unbreakable and flexible plastic OLED panel at SID

LG to demo 5inch flexible and unbreakable plastic OLED panel at SID 2013

LG’s got quite a bit in store for us this week at SID’s annual display exhibition in Vancouver. In addition to that 55-inch curved OLED TV we first heard about last month, the company will be demonstrating a very nifty 5-inch OLED panel. Created for mobile devices, the display is constructed of plastic, making it both flexible and unbreakable — certainly a welcome quality when it comes to smartphone design.

Also on display will be 5- and 7-inch HD Oxide TFT panels. That first size features a bezel that’s just 1mm wide, enabling a borderless frame when installed in smartphones. Both displays are lightweight and consume less power than their traditional equivalents. Finally, LG will have a 14-inch 2560×1440-pixel laptop panel on hand, along with LCDs designed for use in refrigerators and automotive dashboards. We’ll be live from the SID show floor later this week — check back for our hands-ons with all of these new LG panels, and quite a bit more.

Microsoft says Illumiroom isn’t yet ready for next Xbox, but will get public demo in July (video)

Microsoft says Illumiroom isn't yet ready for next Xbox, but will get public demo in July

Since we saw Illumiroom at CES in January, the technology has come quite a ways. But while it’s still a spectacular technology display, don’t look for it to pop up in any Xbox announcements in the near future. In fact, Microsoft Research’s Hrvoje Benko and Brett Jones told us during a interview that while they have Illumiroom technology working well at this point, they’re not likely to even demo it to the public until July at Siggraph.

That’s not to say that you’re not going to want it. The researchers showed in detail exactly how it works: they use a Kinect to scan your living room, then project a series of “illusions” onto it with a wide-screen projector, getting the colors just right using a technique called “radiometric compensation.” The projector and Kinect can be mounted in any convenient spot in the room, like the ceiling or a table. While the technology can be used with other forms of entertainment, researchers concentrated on gaming, since they’re able to generate source material that works well with the effects. Some of those illusions include “focus,” which displays special effects around the images, “segmented focus,” to extend the display to portions of the living space (requiring extra material to be generated), and “appearance,” which can actually change the look of the living room by giving it a cartoon appearance, for instance. Despite the still-early phase of the research, it’s definitely whetting our appetite for more — and you can see a full video of the presentation after the break.

Oculus Rift’s Tuscany demo scores unofficial support for Razer Hydra (video)

Oculus Rift's Tuscany demo scores unofficial support for Razer Hydra (video)

Oculus Rift’s Tuscany demo was built with a good ol’ fashioned keyboard and mouse setup in mind, but now it’s unofficially scored support for motion controls. Sixense, the outfit behind Razer’s Hydra, has cooked up a custom version of the Italian-themed sample for use with their controller, and it gives gamers a pair of floating hands to pick up and manipulate objects. Originally shown at GDC, the tweaked experience is now up for grabs, and can even be played by those who don’t have a Rift — albeit with just the controller’s perks.

Booting up the retooled package offers users a new 3D menu, giving them options for arm length, crouching, head bobbing and a crosshair. It’s not the first project to combine Rift with Hydra, but it certainly helps illustrate the potential of such a setup. Sixense says it plans to release updates and the source code, and it recommends folks sign up for their project-specific email list and keep an eye on their forums for word on availability. Hit the source links below for the download, or head past the break to catch Road to VR’s hands-on with the Hydra-friendly Tuscan villa.

Microsoft updates its Windows Phone web demo for WP8

Microsoft continues to be confident that you’ll such as Windows Phone if you just offer it a try. Accordingly, it just recently updated its web-based trial to reflect all the changes in Windows Phone 8. If you let the web app gain access to Facebook, you’ll get a personalized sample of the OS on your desktop computer or mobile web browser that consists of resizable residence tiles, Kid’s Corner and various other more recent additions. No, it’s not a full-fledged simulator, but it does give about as good a taste as you’ll get without the genuine hardware in your hands. We likewise cannot say that everyone will be sold on the concept– still, it’s worth a spin for anyone keeping their smartphone options open.

I’m Cool With Real Life: Demo Of Google’s Smart-Glasses

google-glass-demo.jpg

IT’S TERRIFYING, THANKS FOR ASKING. God why am I even friends with these people?

First we had a conceptual demonstration of Google’s smart-glasses, and now an actual one of what a user would experience wearing the things. Basically they’re glasses with a see-through mini screen in the far corner that accepts voice commands that begin with, “Okay, Glass…take a picture/take a video/take your pants off,” whatever. Based on the video demonstration it also looks like you’re in store for a way more exciting life, doing things like hot-air ballooning, trapeze swinging, stunt plane flying, being a ballerina, being an ice skater, snake handling, horse jumping, fire juggling, ice carving, being a runway model — you name it. “I don’t do any of those things.” Not yet you don’t, but I think this is gonna be a big year for you. “You said that last year.” But you didn’t have smart-glasses! “True.” Ahahahahahahah, oh God you believe me.

Hit the jump for the demo and prepare to not live a normal, regular person life anymore.

Surface Pro

With February 9th quickly approaching, it won’t be long before you’ll be able to buy a Surface Pro of your own. But if you want to try before you buy, it looks like select retail stores are getting demo units ahead of the release date, starting today. That’s according to reports from both Engadget and WinSuperSite, but unfortunately it’s not clear exactly which stores will be receiving the units, though the device will likely be on sale at Best Buy, Staples, and Microsoft Stores, much like the Surface RT. The 64GB Surface Pro will be available for $ 899 when it launches in both the US and Canada later this month — be sure to check out our in-depth impressions of the device from CES 2013 in January.
