Ramblings of an old Doc

 

 

 

Saw this (via Hankers News Service) on Neowin.net in an article by John Callaham:

We’ve seen all-in-one PCs that have the parts inside a monitor.

We’ve also seen media center PCs that hook up to larger HDTVs.

Now one company is working on a prototype product that creates an all-in-one PC on a truly massive scale.

Dvice.com has reported that the German company Hannspree showed off the Lounge TV 70 at this week's IFA trade show in Berlin.

The product shown at Hannspree's booth was a massive 70 inch 1080p HDTV that also had a PC running inside it with Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system. Once more, the TV was running a business app that allowed people to "draw" images on the huge TV screen. So, that turned this TV-PC combo into a whiteboard as well. Could be very helpful if that could be transmitted as well.

The story speculates that this kind of product could be used by businesses for high end presentations in conference rooms.

The report did not have any information on the PC’s  specs.

Usually, the PC’s are low end in the specs department, but how cool would it be to see a high end PC merged with a big screen TV like this for gaming?

There's no info on availability nor production dates.

A license for BBC? You have to pay for that channel even if you don't want it or watch it? What if you don't have the license, what happens?

It's the same in my country, the public TV channel, which is now more or less a propaganda machine for the current dictatorship, is partly funded from taxes added to the electric power bill.

There is no singer performer... voice is created by Yamaja Vocaloid 2... as for animation, it use the freeware Miku-Miku dance ( preprogrammed motion or capture with Microsoft Kinect )...

Real time render will not be a problem for a workstation or top desktop computer since the model don't seem to be very complex... i think that the problem with the technology to be adapted at home will be the price tag for the hologram projector...

Anyway, technology is there, only need some time for make it abordable for usual home user...
