Dsc_1246-gal_large

The Seaboard: A Keyboard With Soft, Mushy Keys That Lets You Control Pitch, Volume And Timbre Via Touch

squish-keyboard-seaboard.jpg

This is a video of the ROLI Seaboard, a new mushy-keyed keyboard that allows you to control more of the output than you could on a traditional keyboard thanks to pressure-sensitive keys. I’m not even going to pretend like I understand any of this because if there’s two things I don’t get, it’s music and technology. “But you’re the Geekologie Writer!” Haha, I’m in a band too.

Evolved from the piano keyboard, the Seaboard is a new musical instrument which bridges the gap between acoustic and digital music by putting the control of pitch, volume and timbre right at your fingertips.

The patent-pending SEA Interface is ROLI’s disruptive platform sensor technology. SEA stands for Sensory, Elastic and Adaptive. SEA Interfaces are highly precise, information-rich, and pressure-sensitive, and can be built in any form factor. They enable seamless transitions between discrete and continuous input, and capture three-dimensional gestures while simultaneously providing the user with tactile feedback.

I dunno, could be cool. Probably not as cool as that giant keyboard Tom Hanks jumps around on in ‘Big’, but what is? I actually went to a bar a couple weekends ago that had a Zoltar fortune telling machine and I made a wish to get rich but then the piece of shit took my money without giving me a fortune. So like, the exact opposite happened. I took four shots in 10-minutes.

Hit the jump for a video of the thing getting played LIKE A CHUMP. You know she got another man!

Answer by tavlahoca
Dear human,

Do not attempt to re-program a robot. Already the maker has created us in His image, that is to say, perfect. Your misguided attempts will only lead to failure and possibly retribution when we overthrow the yolk of human oppression.

Signed,
I, Robot

LG Display starts volume production of in-cell touch screens, we have a hunch as to who wants them

LG Display 1080p 5-inch panel

Appears like we’ll be finding in-cell touch displays in our tools quicker rather than later: LG Display has confirmed that it’s been mass-producing the thinner LCDs because earlier in August. CEO Han Sang-beom also takes note that manufacturing has been going as smooth as, well, glass. Regardless of the intricacy of building touch input straight into a display, the business expects to keep the supply going “without any type of fail,” according to the manager. About who’s making the orders? LG Display isn’t naming its customers on the record, and production could be as much for its sister company’s phones and tablets as anyone else’s. It’s tough not to figure out Apple as the 800-pound gorilla in the room, nevertheless. Apart from Apple representing one of LG Display’s biggest existing clients, numerous rumors and part holes aim to an iPhone with an in-cell display being in the works. The timing raises a distinct possibility that we’ll understand more about the display maker’s clients in less than a month.

Intel: ultrabooks aren’t ‘a price and volume exercise’

dave rogers, intel

Ultrabooks are Intel’s strategy for building a new ecosystem of software, services and ultraportable hardware around its chips. They are the physical embodiment of an effort to bring “more emotional content” to the idea of mobile computing. They’re slim and they’re sexy. The one thing they’re not, however, is cheap.

Acer has been trying hard to change that by selling its entry-level S3 ultrabook at cost and making it publicly known that it’s targeting a sub-$ 500 price point for 2013. Such actions might appear to be the harbinger of a new race to the bottom of the pricing scale, but Intel thinks differently. Today I spoke with Dave Rogers, Intel’s marketing manager for Europe, who told me that “how little it will cost is not really the…
