Your TV could be watching you

Twice a year, tech companies descend on CableLabs’ Innovation Showcase to demo their wares for a group of cable operators. PrimeSense’s 3D sensing chip won the ops’ vote in an informal poll for best new product idea. This product lets digital devices see a 3-D view of the world. The device includes a sensor, which sees a user (including their complete surroundings), and a digital component, or “brain” which learns and understands user movement within those surroundings.
This system provides something similar to thermal images, showing how many people are in front of the TV. Do we really need cable and/or video service operators knowing this? This system can also track and react to user movements outside the computer.

    I absolutely love my Kindle 2. I have been a voracious reader all my life. I am now 66 years old and have severe arthritis in my hands and wrists. Reading books was becoming difficult. I had trouble turning pages, and with some books the weight was a problem. Did I mention – I love my Kindle?

    If anyone has family members or friends with limited mobility in their hands and arms, a Kindle would be one of the most thoughtful gifts you could give.

  3. Nice concepts on this webpage. It’s rare these days to get websites with data you’re seeking. I am pleased I stumbled on this website. I will certainly bookmark it or even subscribe to your rss feeds just to receive your new posts. Keep up the good work and I’m certain other people sourcing valued information will definitely stop by and benefit from your website for resources.

  4. I’m looking to train as a tv repairer, I wondered if you know of any course in the Manchester area. Nice blog by the way I will have a good look around!

  5. Added to my favourites list and added to my blogroll.
