It's official: Microsoft Kinect for Windows goes resilient on February 1. Declared by Steve Ballmer at Microsoft's unalterable CES keynote, the study is forthcoming with the formalized Microsoft Kinect SDK, which has been in beta testing since June 2011, and includes Warm Mode, a setting to think and tag objects as surrounding as 50cm forth - perfect for at-the-desk use. Ready for pre-order at River for $249.99, Kinect for Windows is accomplishment to unstoppered the threshold to all kinds of new experiences in Windows, from play to realistic keyboards and remembering software.
An unreciprocated topic at this instance, though, is whether or not the new instrumentation give utilise with the open-sourced drivers currently provision so overmuch creativity in the developer group. The new instrumentality appears to hold updated code and perhaps new hardware, so more hacking may be indispensable to straighten it activity. The box attending on Amazon says "FOR Commercialised USE ONLY" and is tagged as a "Kinect for Windows Commercial Software Developer Kit (SDK)." Microsoft is stating that they faculty not be charging for the SDK, which is a fortunate abstract for developers superficial to pioneer the occurrence technology, though it appears they testament suspended by Microsoft.
Initially Microsoft had no plans to freeing any tools to the accord for Kinect, but so more innovative and turn things came from the hacked drivers that they changed their minds. It's a smashing relocation for Microsoft, as crowdsourcing new products, services and ideas is a win-win for everyone. Let's trust that Redmondians maintain to wreak with the unprotected maker vocation with the Kinect for Windows to modify certain everything soothes activity.
As a divagation to the Kinect for Windows proclamation, Microsoft also managed to supernatural out the CES chance by transfer out a sing that herb unfilmed CES-related tweets. Here at the ExtremeTech trap we have never seen anything quite equal it. With it state Microsoft's inalterable CES showing, achievement out with a bolt is likely what it willful - but this was operation of similar exploit out with the ablution surroundings from Psycho. Watch it out:
According to third-party sources, E3 2012 will feature the successors to both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Add to that the Wii U, and this marks the first time in E3′s 17-year history that three new, competing consoles will be so directly comparable.
While we’ve heard rumors of the next-gen Xbox’s appearance at E3 2012 for months now, it’s news of the PS4 — or whatever Sony decides to call it — that comes as a surprise. Execs at the PlayStation firm have made it clear to third-parties that “they will not be left behind this time,” referencing the PS3′s later launch relative to its Microsoft competitor.
Which console are you looking forward to the most? Personally, I just want to see the technology evolve so that developers can keep pushing the boundaries of the cutting-edge.
It's not a big surprise after launching in Germany and Japan, but Toshiba PR has confirmed to us and CNET that the company's 3,840x2,160 resolution autostereoscopic 3DTV will make its US debut in the first quarter of 2012, matching the "end of fiscal year" prediction we'd heard previously.
There's no details on pricetag or model #, but given its $10,000~ sticker price overseas, we'd start shaking out those couch cushions now.
The LCD maintains its QuadHD resolution when displaying 2D content, however switching into 3D mode drops the resolution to 720p. Other than removing the need for viewers to wear glasses to see the effect, it also uses face tracking to fine tune the experience for up to nine people. We'll have more info once it's officially unveiled in a few days, until then feel free to drool over the prototype it showed off last year.
The Designer Tech Series is supported by the exquisitely crafted, new 2013 Lincoln MKS with Lincoln Drive Control. Now it gets interesting.
Smart technology in watch form has captivated the world since the days of Dick Tracy, but since the turn of the decade, we’ve inched closer to having the entire world on our wrists. The best-selling Kickstarter project in history was a vessel to turn a watch-defaulted iPod nano into a wrist-worn super-device.
The desire for a smart watch solution was so strong that Apple actually included a fitness watch capability
in its most recent generation nano. But, there was no fully functional
smart watch on the market that was able to function as well as a
smartphone with half the size and double the ergonomics.
That is, until now. Italian designer tech company i’m debuted its i’m Watch, which is currently marketed as “the first real smart watch.” The i’m Watch can run nearly anything on its customized Android interface and tethers to your current smartphone (including BlackBerry and iPhone) to handle phone calls, SMS, music and a host of apps. But the i’m is just as focused on beauty as technological practicality.
“Given also our brand’s Italian roots, we naturally do give an
extreme emphasis on elegant design, since we profoundly believe that
sight and touch deserve an equally important share, just like the more
technical aspects,” says Eleonora Cazzaro, press manager at i’m.
Now on the market in Europe — but with a burgeoning office in Silicon Valley and a vendor slot at CES 2012
— an aluminum-bodied i’m Watch will run a minimum of €249
(approximately $322). For those who are looking for a fancier model, the
i’m Watch also has a titanium-encased version at a steeper €499 ($644),
a carbonium-made product at €999 ($1291) and an ultra-luxurious gold
watch with optional diamonds at a staggering €9999 (nearly $13,000).
Mashablespoke with Cazzaro about the design and development
of the i’m Watch, and how its luxury form matches its technological
function.
The PlayStation Vita appears
to be struggling to build an audience in Japan. In its second week on
the market, the system sold 72,479 units, according to the Media Create
numbers -- outsold by the 3DS, PSP, Wii, and PS3. The software top 20
shows why the 3DS is doing so well right now (it sold 482,200 units):
three of the top five games are 3DS releases, including Mario Kart 7 (#1), Super Mario 3D Land (#3), and Monster Hunter Tri-G (#4).
In fact, no Vita games at all appear in the top 20 -- though that makes
sense, given the relatively lacking hardware sales and the availability
of all retail games on PSN at lower prices.
Has there ever been anything like it? There have arguably been more huge
titles released in the last 12 months than during any other window in
history, and it's made for a corking - not to mention expensive - year
for gamers.
We've seen remakes and sequels smash our expectations into the
stratosphere, while new IP has appeared out of nowhere to steal our
hearts.
New instalments of pretty much every major series going nearly wore
our thumbs down to the bone, and yet there was STILL time to announce
more great games and some new consoles too.
So before we turn our eyes onto 2012's upcoming embarrassment of
riches (Mass Effect 3, BioShock Infinite, Halo 4 and many more!)
it's time to celebrate a truly unforgettable chapter of gaming.
We've put together a list of 20 games release in 2011 that should not
be missed. If you find there are any games on this list you haven't
played, we recommend firing up your nearest internet browser or heading
to your local retailer and picking these up. They're unmissable.
Okamiden - Nintendo DS
The long-awaited Okami sequel takes the DS to new interactive highs as
the stylus becomes the Celestial Brush. Criminally overlooked, we
reckon.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Fortune - PS3
More of the same for Nathan's third excursion - but given that
Uncharted 2 was sublime, this is exactly what we wanted. Uncharted's
cinematics have always been a cut above, and Drake's return brings with
it some of the finest acting we've ever seen in digital form
L.A. Noire
The moody LA detective-'em-up drags the point-'n'-click into this
generation by its lapels, roughs it up a little and dumps it in a
staggeringly accurate sandbox. Truth, doubt, or lie? Truth all the way!
Rockstar's amazing MotionScan technology set a whole new standard for facial modelling.
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 kicked off the year with a heart-pounding, underwear
ruining jaunt through an alien-infested city so unsettling it really
made us get scared of our own shadows. The most terrifying beginning of
2011 sees Isaac - helplessly trapped in a straitjacket - sprinting
through a Necromorph- riddled hospital with salivating mutants hot on
his tail. Aaaargh!
Little Big Planet 2
How do you top a game where you build your own levels? By creating one
where you can build your own games! LBP 2 offers game modding for the
masses, supported by one of the most vibrant and creative console
communities ever.
Total War: Shogun 2 - PC
The ultimate in strategy game refinement, Shogun 2 takes everything
that's great about the Total War franchise and improves it... and
improves it... and improves it... and, well, you get the picture!
Bulletstorm
Epic's epically epic blaster proves that there's still plenty of room
in the first person shooter genre for innovation. It isn't just about
getting kills: it's all about getting stylish, disgusting kills. And
swearing loads while you do.
Xenoblade Chronicles - Nintendo Wii
Wii games are coming thin and slow now, but clearly Nintendo have been
saving the best 'til last. Xenoblade Chronicles bowled us over when its
surprise localisation gave the lovely, sprawling Japanese role-playing
game to the West.
Battlefield 3
The single-player mode divides opinion, but its multiplayer option -
particularly on PC- is a masterclass in how to make the complete online
game.
War has certainly never looked as good as it does in Battlefield 3.
We're not sure if even real life has the visual fidelity to match it...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Controversial content can't stop Modern Warfare 3 from being the go-to
shooter of the year. Despite all of Infinity Ward's internal
reshuffling, there's barely a blemish to be found.
Dirt 3
Dirt never lacked for edge-of-the-seat racing, but the tricksy Gymkhana
mode and top-notch weather effects ramp up the series' thrills and
brake fluid spills a few notches further.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - PC
CD Project's saucy RPG sequel is still in production for the Xbox 360
for a 2012 release, but wowed the PC crowd earlier this year. Our one
grumble? It's tough - but that issue's now been patched!
Mario Kart 7 - Nintendo 3DS
One of the most iconic party series in history blazes its way onto the
3DS, and the tuned-up racing means this entry drives away with a cup and
leaves the rest choking on its exhaust fumes.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Not only did Human Revolution manage to do the seemingly impossible and
live up to the Deus Ex name, it also succeeded in delivering diverse
options so robust that the individual shooting, stealthing and hacking
paths could easily have carried the entire game on their own.
Forza Motorsport 4 - Xbox 360
Petrolheads everywhere wept oily tears of joy when they discovered how
vast, how varied and how stupendously polished Forza 4 really was. Gran
what?
FIFA 12
"Football perfection," we said, and all the world agreed! It's the most
beautiful game ever based on the beautiful game: dribbling around last
year's instalment with ease.
Portal 2
Your Golden Joystick GOTY-winner took a quirky three-hour game and made a sizeable masterpiece. Also,
it does something few other games manage: it's tremendously funny,
and sustains its humour throughout. Still Alive was always going to take
some beating, but Jonathan Coulton's end ditty Want You Gone comes
mighty close to doing it.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Nintendo Wii
Ninty rounded off 25 years of Zelda brilliance with a chapter that
simply changed everything. The series has never felt as fresh or as
surprising as it does in Skyward Sword.
Batman: Arkham City
Move over GoldenEye, there's a new licensed king in town. Rocksteady's
vision for Batman is as well crafted as Nolan's or Morrison's, and a new
yardstick for every tie-in to be measured up against. The ending has to
go down as one of the bravest, most shocking conclusions ever. Who
would have thought DC would allow Rocksteady to change the landscape of
their world so dramatically?
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
A world with endless possibilities; a story with uncountable
permutations; a game unlike any other. Our undisputed GOTY does things
no current generation game should ever be able to do, and does them
superbly. There are hundreds of hours of content to root out and enjoy,
and almost every major interaction with an in-game character comes
pre-loaded with a range of moral choices to pick from. And even when you
think you've finished it you really haven't - the radiant quest system
will create an endless string of thieving and
assassination and exploration quests to wring every last drop out of
the land. Did we mention it's simply gorgeous, too? RPGs suddenly have
an awful lot to live up to in a post-Skyrim world.

A new project
has started on Kickstarter. This time the product being built is the
LunaTik Touch Pen. The new pen is designed to work on both the iPad (and
other tablets) as well as paper.
Paper
and pen will never be replaced. However, more and more people are
embracing their iPads and tablets to take notes and capture ideas in a
new hybrid analog-digital workflow. These users continuously switch
between paper and touch screen during the day. This means they require both a traditional ink pen and a digital stylus.
MINIMAL
is raising funding to build the pens. At the moment they are aiming to
ship the pens in April 2012 subject to hitting the $75,000 goal. At the
time of writing this the team had pledges of $46,527 with 59 days to go.
Looking at the speed at which funding has come in, we expect to see the
goal reached far quicker.
Take a look at the video below to see what the pen is made of and the ideas behind it. To pledge money now, visit the Kickstarter page.
I’ve just bought an external HDD last week and it was Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB.
The transfer rate from my computer to the drive or vice versa was
really fast because it uses USB 3.0 technology and I was really
satisfied with the money I have spent. Recently they have launched their
latest External Hard Drivethe Seagate 4TB GoFlex Desk, featuring USB 3.0
connection in a 3.5-inch form factor which is also backward compatible
with USB 2.0. Like other members of the GoFlex Family, the GoFlex Desk
allows users to change adapters to work with a range of interfaces (USB,
FireWire, eSATA. It comes pre-loaded with the backup software that
provides automatic, continuous data backup with encryption for all your
files. The company’s GoFlex Desk for Mac hard drive offers similar
features but comes pre-formatted in the HFS+ format.
The only cons of this external drive in
my opinion is that it needs to be connected to the power supply to work
compared to the FreeAgent GoFlex which can be use as an ordinary USB
drive, insert to the port copy/paste and you are done. That is the main
reason why I bought the FreeAgent (Bought it for 5000 pesos) not the
GoFlex Desk because I really want it to be portable and can be easily
use w/o the use of power supply cord anymore. The GoFlex Desk is
retailing for $250 on Seagate’s website and comes with a two year
warranty.
Toshiba announced in Japan a new tablet PC running Windows 7, the
Dynabook WT301/D. The 10.1-inch device is powered by next-gen Intel Atom
processor with 2GB of RAM and 64GB SSD for storage. The tablet has a
10.1-inch 1366×768 touchscreen with LED-backlit.
The Dynabook WT301/D comes with a 3 Megapixel main camera and a 1.3
Megapixel front camera and supports Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi connectivity.
The Windows 7 tablet offers a USB port and a micro HDMI output. It runs
Windows 7 Professional edition.
LG‘s upcoming OLED TV panel measures 55 inches and comes with a contrast ratio of over 100,000:1, the company has announced.
The panel is also just 5 mm thin and has a color gamut that is “wider” than that produced by LCD panels. All of these characteristics make it a candidate for bringing OLED TV technology to the masses in a market that’s still dominated by LCDs.
“Although OLED technology is seen as the future of TV display, the technology has been limited to smaller display sizes and by high costs, until now. LG Display’s 55-inch OLED TV panel has overcome these barriers,” said Sang Beom Han, CEO and Executive Vice President of LG Display.
Of course, we’ll hear more of this panel at the next CES, along with those WiDi-supporting CINEMA 3D Smart TVs LG has announced earlier this month.
