 Coverage from CES 2007… |

Day 3 of CES and we returned to the South Hall, first floor in the morning, before we moved on to the main hall. We have almost shifted to tourists, since the level of crowding is still amazing – but we scramble through the halls as best we can, recognizing that the chances of getting some fresh material, not already covered by much larger news organizations is pretty low. We found some really cool items, though – and have featured Myvu glasses for viewing a simulated 26″ screen from your video ipod. Very thoughtfully included custom lenses for those of us who need bifocals to get our eyes to cooperate with the trick.
This was the most fascinating device that we saw today – Inductive Dynamics Inc makes devices that attach to walls or surfaces and turn them into speakers for home theater applications. In this photo, the sheet of glass is suspended vertically, and the transducer (small chrome plated cylinder at the bottom) makes the entire sheet of glass into a speaker. The rear screen projector is mounted high in the booth and is projecting the image on the glass – which gives the absolute “Princess Leia” effect standing in free space (not a total illusion 3D but 2D) . You can imagine glass speakers for department stores and the speaker / glass for boardroom situations.
