Acer Canada to roll out new 3D projectors



Acer Canada has plans to introduce new 3D video projectors for the masses in the Great White North, where it is made possible thanks to a clever combination of the projectors’ DLP 3D projection capabilities as well as high refresh rates. Because of that, a flat surface of any wall can be turned into an impromptu 3D screen, just make sure that the color is light enough (white is best) for the best image quality, since a yellow or orange painted wall can be quite disconcerting on the eyes when you project a video. We will take a closer look at the projectors in the extended post.

The Acer X1230PS will target home theater enthusiasts, as it offers brilliant visuals regardless of whether you are viewing video, game content or photos among others. There is an incredible level of realism and video immersion achieved via this short-throw projector, where you will be able to enjoy clear, large images up to 109-inches diagonal even while positioned as close as 6.5-feet from the screen, doing away with a long projection distance. You will be able to enjoy a cinematic aspect ratio of 16:9, not to mention 4:3 when the situation calls for it. The Acer X1230PS delivers XGA resolution (1,024 x 768 pixels) as well as 2500 ANSI lumens and 3000:1 contrast ratio. also heightens the color and clarity of the images. Connectivity options include composite video, s-video mini-DIN, component video, D-sub for a PC analog signal, as well as USB mini B, and RS232 mini-DIN control interface. It will retail for 699 Canadian dollars.

As for the Acer X1261, this 3D projector delivers up to 2500 ANSI lumens, a 3700:1 contrast ratio and a vertical refresh rate of 50-120Hz, all in native XGA resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio with the ability to be adjusted to a 16:9 aspect ratio if you happen to view video content from Blu-ray Discs and DVD. It will connect to other devices via composite video, component video, and S-video mini-DIN, as well as a RS232 mini-DIN control interface. If you’re looking for a decent 3D projector without breaking the bank, then the Acer X1261 represents good value for money for 599 Canadian dollars. All purchases come with a 1-year warranty, while the lamp is guaranteed for 3 months.

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

Light Radio

I’m probably dating myself, but I actually owned one of the first cell phones, admit it, some of you remember… It came attached to a darn suitcase, and seemed to weigh about 5 pounds. I was pretty proud of it, and come to think of it, the reception was pretty good too! But look how far we’ve come… As cell phones have become smaller and owning one is now almost compulsory, those unsightly antennas of steel topped by all the necessary transmitters and gizmos that we call cell towers have invaded practically every landscape known to man. So let us welcome Alcatel-Lucent’s lightRadio. Imagine if you will, much smaller antennas, some tiny enough to hold in your hand. A device like that could be placed anywhere, on lamp or utility poles on buildings, heck, anywhere with electrical and network connections. Seriously, a cell tower in a box! If they can iron out a few details, it could upend the wireless industry and offer amazing service, fantastic voice and data transmission
