AirScan & AirTouch From Coolux Technology Showed at LondonLaunch

Check out this bit of awesomeness out of London from TMB and Coolux. We are getting closer and closer to “technology” that was shown off in movies from the 80’s.  Sooner or later we’ll catch up to our selves.   Here is more about this amazing technology from TMB’s press release:

Last month’s Londonlaunch:live networking and educational event at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea featured interactive displays by Universal Live.  The two-day event gave UK event planners and specifiers a look at the latest “digital canvas” technology.  “Londonlaunch:live is a typically brilliantly original London idea,” says keynote speaker and London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Featured in a dedicated room at the exhibit was AirScan by coolux.  A component of coolux AirTouch technology, AirScan infrared motion sensing operates with coolux Widget Designer PRO for completely touch-free interactivity.  Full HD video presentations of any type or size can be fully controlled by the user’s arm gestures, providing a completely interactive experience.  Just a few AirTouch system features include:  Large-scale scanning range, up to 10m / 30ft.; advanced motion stabilization; dynamic gesture menu programming for unlimited menu page configurations; and much more.

With FluidFrame Technology Coolux has created a solution that offers a smooth cross-conversion that can take any input and output frame rate, supporting both interlaced and progressive sources and clips.

FluidFrame Technology is a new powerful feature for both 2D and Stereo3D (S3D), it supports 50/60 fps videos and live streams with Pandoras Box Servers. Coolux’s proprietary encoder now supports 1920×1080@60p and 1920×1080@50p.

NEW ScreenMask

The new Warper allows the user to create cut outs and mask while painting onto the projected surface from within PB Warp. The new zoom and pan features allow precise texture based warping.

NEW Windows 7 compatibility

Both the Coolux Pandoras Box Manager and the Pandoras Box Player are now fully compatible with the Windows 7 operating system.
