High Precision touch screen system for Flat screen TV

Posted by sawaru | Category: Home Appliance, Trend Watch & News

Fineir has developed a high precision touch screen system that allows you to easily convert your existing LCD or Plasma TV into a touch system in low cost.
The primary advantages of IR touchscreens are their clarity and immunity to drift. The LED and sensor arrays of an IR touch screen need no substrate, so the touchscreen doesn’t place anything between the display and the user that might reduce the display’s brightness. Further, because the array forms a stationary optical grid, the touch-point positioning cannot drift. These advantages may outweigh IR’s limitations in many applications.
These touch screen designs are available in an extremely wide range of sizes. Fineir technology can produce them in sizes from 6 inches to 200 inches, thus ensuring that the touch screen can meet the requirements of a wide variety of applications. Fineir touch screen bezel is made of aluminum with charcoal black coating surface, by using IR optical sensors on top of a tempered glass touch overlay is an ideal method optimized for a superior optical clarity to preserve the original image quality. Fineir next-generation design has a advanced technology that featuring a very low-profile bezel in 11.5 mm thickness including the 3mm glass overlay, and with a narrow frame boarder in 30mm wide for touch screen size from 24" to 52".

How iPhone works, Explained

Posted by admin | Category: Mobile Phone, Trend Watch & News

For most of us, the iPhone is a mystical slab of goodness that delivers the content we need, among other things, on a daily basis. The iPhone’s interface was touted as “revolutionary” and “intuitive” when it was first introduced, but very few people actually know how the touchscreen- the driving force behind the interface- really works. A traditional touchscreen can only sense a single pressure point on its surface. That technology works fine for stylus-based devices, since interacting with the operating system only requires one click. On the other hand, the iPhone’s interface is completely touch-based, and there are only a few physical buttons dedicated to operating the device.

In order to make the iPhone easy to use, Apple had to attribute functions to a series of finger movements, many of of which had to be performed with two digits. Enter the iPhone screen. Unlike traditional touchscreens, the iPhone’s LCD screen is overlayed with a coordinate system of capacitors which can detect touch. When you touch the iPhone’s screen, a circuit is created and the devices is able to calculate exactly where that circuit was completed. Who would’ve known?!

Trendy Vespa outfit

Posted by admin | Category: Car & Bike, Trend Watch & News

This Vespa is bright red, has a Louis Vuitton seat, a custom spare tire (that doesn’t look like it could actually work on the Vespa) and an touchscreen computer. It also won the award for “Best Modern Vespa” at the Amerivespa contest.

It seems everyone is obsessed with bringing the latest gadgets and technology into their car but what about the scooters? No one has bought them bang up to date with technology? Well they hadn’t, until now! This brand new Vespa GTS comes rocking a Windows XP PC will touch screen LCD display. This fits nicely where the old spare box used to be!

Not only that, but the scooter also has integrated speakers and a cooling vent on the side of the boot so your PC stays nice and chilled!

Now, all this gadgetry hasn’t taken away from the sheer class of the Vespa - it still has the spare tyre on the back with the LV seat! What more could you want?! Supercars have nothing on this beauty!

My only question is which cost more, the Vespa or the touchscreen LCD PC? I must admit, the flashy spare tire on the back and the LV seat material give it that extra flair to make this thing the most Hood Rich scooter too.
