RePro3D is a ‘touchable’ 3D interface that lets you poke pixies (video)

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 16:00:23 +0000

The illusion of 3D is kind of ruined the moment you reach out and try and grab whatever silly thing is supposed to be protruding from the screen. Researchers at Keio University in Tokyo have started to figure out a solution to the problem, and are calling their system RePro3D. By combining a glasses-free 3D display with an infrared tactile interface, they are able to create a holographic model that responds when “touched.” The next step for the team is to provide feedback via a wearable device, adding the sensation of touch to the already impressive illusion of interactivity. We do have our concerns about the researcher’s motives however. One of the creators, Keitaro Shimizu, told DigInfo, “there are many attractive characters in animations and games, but since those characters only exist within the screen, it feels a little lonely…” We guess getting a girlfriend is out of the question. Check out the video after the break.

Intel’s 710 SSDs get announced, bit too rich for the Christmas list (video)

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 12:00:20 +0000

Owning a high-capacity SSD is a bit like having a butler — it’s a lovely option, but so damn expensive. Intel’s announcing Lyndonville — more modestly called the SSD 710, which replaces the less modestly named X25-E Extreme. The enterprise-level SSD’s carrying 25-nanometer MLC flash memory and when tested, five of the drives were able to handle the same load as 90 x 15,000 RPM HDDs in Intel’s data center. The drives will be available in the fall, and considering it’s already September, we can only assume the company is waiting for a few more leaves to turn brown before going to OEMs. Volume pricing for units of 1,000 places the 100GB model at $649, 200GB at $1,289 and the 300GB at a tear-inducing $1,929. You can see Intel’s Agustin Gonzalez talk up the 710 in the video after the break.
