Don’t – the effect is nothing like it and it’s definitely no hologram.

We have these in the UK at some airports (Birmingham International I know for sure having seen them). They’re rubbish – no-one ever stands and watches them and all they are is basically a woman shaped piece of perspex with a projector behind it and a speaker for her voice/instructions. The woman never moves much other than talking or keeping her arms still and moving her hands as that would mean her body shape moves outside the perspex shape she’s projected on to.

Viewing angles are poor, move off centre and the image fades. I spoke to someone at the airport about them once and they say they cost £50,000 each – ridiculous money for what old technology it is.

Main problem – no-one bothers with them. Never seen anyone stand and watch or listen to them (and I fly a lot) because a simple sign does far more much quicker when going through security.

Would have been better if it was actually real. All in the editing otherwise. ;-)

Me too – Kinect is a great concept, just not good enough at present. Needs work.

The difference being, you did nothing about it, this guy did. An idea is just an idea without execution.

When I see LG’s logo on the front I want to smash it. Don’t know what it is, the phone could be amazing but I hate that logo – it’s just, well . . . shit.

Voice and Kinect control will make it harder. Given up on using my Kinect as a controller for media. The paddle is far quicker, more responsive and I don’t have to wrestle with it to do what I want or have it randomly do things because of sound from the tv. I like Kinect – its just not ready for prime time yet.

There’s a simpler and quicker solution rather than standing in an aisle looking at your screen – ask someone or request ge supermarkets label their stores more clearly. A mass of people staring blindly at their phones would be chaos.

No – you got the joke that is our train service where they constantly increase prices and give you an even worse service with each increase.

Goes with everything else about UK train services – nothing but a joke. Constantly late or delayed and then massive annual cost increases way above inflation to give you more of the same.

Agreed. It’s not the size of your equipment – it’s what you do with it that counts.

This is typical Jannard willy waving. The guy is arrogance and rudeness personified. If I was any of the other companies out there with 4K cameras I’d simply not bother showing up – not because I was scared of the competition, just to not allow Jannard to stroke and satisfy his ego which is what this is about.

I appreciate what Red have produced but not in the way their CEO goes about it all – his treatment of Philip Bloom is testament to that (if that makes no sense, a quick Google search will bring it up what happened).

I’d say it is somewhat wrong. You don’t say 24Hz to mean 24 miles per second. Saying 24fps is correct terminology for film – the frames is indicative of that. You don’t say 24fHz – it means nothing to a film maker or anyone else really because fps is the correct term used by everyone.
