Hodges said, “We interact with digital content more and moreâ€"such as electronic diaries, emails, traffic status, and weather info. But even if you have your mobile phone in your pocket, it can be a pain to interact with this content in many cases. The badge is always on hand and lets you navigate to the content you want simply by moving it to the right place relative to your body, using your spatial muscle memory. It’s much easier for quick ‘snacking’ on small amounts of digital content.â€
What you see above is the lightweight, interactive badge prototype in the flesh, and as you can notice, it would come with an embedded LCD display which will show off dynamic information to the wearer, instead of the usual work badge ID that always carries your worse mugshot ever, in addition to other nitty gritty such as your work position and department among other details. This one is very different, as it boasts of sensing-based input capabilities that have been integrated within the badge’s retractable string, paving the way for single-hand interaction. Of course, plenty of work still needs to be done, especially when it comes to the design and form factor, but I am quite sure that these are challenges that the team would relish, and we hope to see a commercial solution sooner rather than later.
When it comes to digital cameras, not many of us would think of Samsung being right up there with the best, although you can say that the South Korean giant has certainly made its fair share of strides in recent memory. Well, Samsung has just decided to expand their award-winning NX family by announcing the launch of the Samsung NX2000, where this stylish and slim compact system camera (CSC) will merge outstanding, professional results with revolutionary Samsung SMART Camera technology. It does not matter if you want to shoot photos or videos, the Samsung NX2000 will be able to do both with ease.
