Leap Motion and HP come together for embedded 3D motion-control technology

When you have two names – Leap Motion as well as computer manufacturer HP team up, you know for sure that you are in for quite an adventure, and this assumption has proven right yet again. This particular deal between both companies is said to have been in development for over a year already, and it marks a significant step in delivering touch-free, intuitive computing to the masses. In a nutshell, this particular agreement will see the Leap Motion Controller come bundled with select HP personal computers later this summer, and will also eventually come to encompass a range of unique HP devices that are embedded with Leap Motion’s technology, although the folks over at HP are keeping mum about such HP devices at the moment.

Not only that, HP’s software, including Airspace which is their app store, will be pre-loaded on Leap Motion-integrated HP devices. The reason behind this move is to offer a tremendous opportunity for the developer community in order to make a mark by garnering an even larger global audience of users. Do bear in mind that this embedding deal is different from the one that Leap Motion announced with Asus, as that was a bundling deal in the past, and it signifies another significant endorsement of Leap Motion’s technology.

What Leap Motion wants to do is this – to deliver 3D motion-control technology to the world without burning a hole in your wallet, and to do so as long as there is a computer in the vicinity, which is why they decided to form a collaboration with the folks over at HP to maximize their chances of fulfilling such a vision.

Leap Motion co-founder and CEO Michael Buckwald, said, “Our focus at Leap Motion is to fundamentally improve how people interact with their devices, and offer as many ways as possible to achieve that vision. The possibilities for innovation are incredible, when you think about what will come from this collaboration between two respected global leaders in their fields – HP, the world’s largest technology company and Leap Motion, creator of the world’s most powerful 3-D motion-control technology.”

Panasonic SC-NP10 wireless speaker

Well, well, what do we have here? A spanking new wireless speaker to persuade those who have always wanted to go wireless in their homes and offices, but never really managed to find the time to do so, not to mention getting the best deal out there? Well, Panasonic has just announced their latest SC-NP10 wireless speaker which was specially designed for the masses as an optimal surround sound system which is extremely suitable for tablet viewing and listening. It will be able to see action with just about any Bluetooth-enabled tablet device, where the Panasonic SC-NP10 will see users prop their tablet instead of taking the traditional docking method, while wirelessly stream music or movie sound. Considering the fact that this is not a “docking station”, it will play nice with a variety of different tablet models as well as sizes.

For example, if your family is split right down the middle when it comes to the kind of mobile operating system that the home uses, you might want to make a beeline for the Panasonic SC-NP10 wireless speaker. After all, it does not matter whether you’re running an iPad or an Android-powered tablet, the SC-NP10 will still work just as well with it. In addition, this particular tablet would tip the scales at 3.5 lbs, making it compact enough to be placed virtually anywhere in the home, whether you want to jive to your favorite tunes in the kitchen, in your bedroom or at the home office, as it gives you the freedom of watching movies from a distance instead of taking up space on your lap that your pet cat would prefer to be on.

Audio quality from the Panasonic SC-NP10 should not be doubted at all, as it utilizes Near Field Stereo Sound in order to produce realistic sound even from a nearby distance. There is a 12-degree slant structure that has been incorporated, allowing it to reproduce stereo sound that is faithful to the original, even when you are listening at a close distance from the device. The SC-NP10 Wireless Speaker will also deliver 2.1-channel Surround Sound in order to produce sound that borders on life-like realism, which is in line with crisp, clear playback for movie sound. There is a 3-1/8 inch integrated subwoofer that delivers robust bass sounds, where it packs powerful sound into a slim wireless speaker system. The inclusion of Bluetooth Re-Master technology for music will also help restore frequencies lost during Bluetooth transmission, so that users get to enjoy an uninterrupted listening experience. The asking price for the Panasonic SC-NP10 wireless speaker stands at $199.99 a pop.

Scosche foundIT is a unique item locator

There are some times in life when you are struck with the “senior moments”, which would mean forgetting just where you have placed a particular key, or item in and around the home. Other than your spouse who seemingly have this elephant’s memory, how about getting a little bit of external help from a gizmo? The Scosche foundIT is an item locator that will be accompanied by an app for the iPhone and iPad.

It has been named as a CES 2013 Innovations and Design Award Honoree, and will be able to assist users to keep track of their keys, backpacks, wallets, purses, and other equally portable items by delivering loss prevention push notifications whenever a particular item goes out of range. For instance, misplaced items will result in a loud audible alert triggered on the tag, making it a whole lot easier to locate. You can also set just how far you want to travel from your object before it makes some noise, within a 100 foot radius. You can pick up the Scosche foundIT with two locators for $59.99.

Gold Karat Authenticator

Gold prices have certainly taken a tumble in recent times, which is normally a traditional safe haven for investors to flee to when the rest of the money market is in a mess. Well, I guess life is always a cycle of ups and downs, and the same goes with gold prices, stock value, the works. If you are one who have decided to throw your lot behind gold, you might be interested to pick up the $499.95 Gold Karat Authenticator.

As its name suggests, the Gold Karat Authenticator is a device that is capable of authenticating karat grades of gold. It does so without the need for messy gels, staining chemicals, or dangerous acids that are often employed by other authentication techniques, as the authenticator’s pure gold-tipped electrode is capable of measuring the electromagnetic frequency produced by a tested object using a safe saline solution which in turn functions as an electrolyte. Pure gold will naturally result in zero volts; and its tested karats are indicated immediately by a panel of LEDs, where it displays a range from six to 24 karats. Non-gold, gold plate, or gold-filled objects will be referred to as “NA”.
