 Multi Channel Surround Sound in the CarIt didn’t take long for car enthusiasts to bring surround home theater systems to their cars, vans and SUVs. That was a natural extension of the technology that started to revolutionize home entertainment in the early 90s with the introduction of the DVD or Digital Versatile Disc. 3D Viewing Technology Ushers In New Viewing Experience at HomeA lot of commercial hype attended the video format wars between Sony’s Blu-Ray and Toshiba’s HD-DVD before and after they were launched in 2007. Just as Sony’s Blu-ray high definition video format has won the format wars against Toshiba’s HD-DVD last year, we now have a new home video viewing format that can take the wind out of Sony’s recent format triumph – one that it finally won after its Betamax fiasco - it’s 3D. 3D Technologies Bring Communication to a Higher Level of RealismThe concept of 3D is not new as people had been intermittently flocking to cinema houses as early as the 60s to watch some 3D cinematic extravaganzas. They require viewers to wear anaglyph paper or plastic glasses with red and green for each eye to decipher the three dimensional video sensation. Augmented Reality – Virtual Reality that’s Real TodayThis is not virtual reality which is 100% simulated environment and characters. But it’s close and more useful in the real world. If you’ve watched any of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator movies where they show what the terminator sees from his perspective (displaying data while looking at a person or object) that’s the general idea of what AR is. Computerizing the Driving ExperienceThe cars of today are a far cry for what they used to be in the last half of the preceding century. It used to be luxury owning one. For some brands, it still is. But for the majority of cars on the road, the impetus for marketing one has grown beyond mere stylish sybaritic comforts to get you from one place to another. Technology Brings the Benefits of Mobile Entertainment to EveryoneIn a span of 10 years, mobile phones and portable consumer devices have reached a level of sophistication that delivers entertainment value to their users from almost anywhere in the planet. The days of the Sony Walkmans allowing joggers and outdoor backpackers to listen to their favorite music while doing their thing is now replaced by a more versatile digital portable system that can store and play all the music you need for a week’s worth of listening at your fingertips. Digital Technology Brings Music Playback to Realistic High ResolutionMusic listening at home has been the pastime of many and a serious hobby to a few. The old vinyl records of the past allows a level of realism and aural pleasures that are often obtained only from the finest sound system in the planet. That is because there have been manufacturing and design, compromises that went into them compared to mass produced consumer electronics that are often a bundle of design compromises just to bring the price tags to within reach of the masses. Exciting Possibilities with NanotechnologyJust when you thought we have reached the summit of man’s engineering wisdom, we realize that we are just scratching the surface. There’s so much more promise lurking in technologies that harness the power of the atom. No, we’re not talking about nuclear fusion, though that’s another leap alright from the current fission technologies that have given rise to the atom bomb and nuclear power plants lighting our homes. Atom Computers – Benefiting from NanotechnologyComputers of the future will use atoms instead of chips for memory. That’s a simplified way of saying that within the next few years, we can expect miniaturization to go into the atomic level to bring to the consumer and the office more power computers that require significantly less power and possess lesser footprints. Shifting Through Networking Technology ThrashWhile the home PC has become a staple appliance at home to get things done from printing you kid’s greeting cards to working on an office report while at home, getting an internet connection has become increasingly necessary not to get the data for your kid’s homework, but also to access the email and social networking sites the modern homeowner can no longer live without.
