Thought the capture of 180° and 360° video content was a recent phenomenon driven by the capabilities of the Oculus Rift and Samsung GearVR? BigLook360 did its first production way back in 1999 and just recently shot the NBA All-Star game in the format. Content should be ready for viewing on the GearVR at the … Read more
We first came into contact with BenQ when it clearly wanted to be a consumer electronics company. The firm spent a lot of money on marketing and bought the Siemens mobile phone business which then collapsed in 2006. Since then, the company has re-grouped around its display products and has shifted its emphasis to B2B … Read more

Our visit to Crestron was a bit of a frustration. We went a couple of times to make an appointment to hear about the latest technology, but we were basically abandoned on the booth.

Vestel is one of the largest OEMs in Europe, and is deeply involved in Turkey’s Fatih Project. However, the company was at ISE to talk signage. The newest of Vestel’s displays on show was a range of OPS monitors (in 32″, 40″, 50″ and 65″ sizes), which are available now and seeing heavy use in … Read more
Planar was clearly positioning itself at the show as the specialist in UltraHD and told us that all the displays that it was showing were UltraHD resolution (although this didn’t apply to the transparent OLED). First, we looked at the 55″ transparent OLED panel that we previewed on our front page a couple of weeks … Read more
Aoto’s stand was dominated by a curved 1.2mm-pitch LED display, part of the M Series (1mm – 16mm). However, it was not the main attraction. The most interesting product that Aoto was showing was a 65″ TV, using LEDs instead of an LCD panel. The Commercial LED Display (CLD) had a ‘very low’ pixel pitch, … Read more
Panasonic had a re-located booth this time – it was said to be bigger than last year’s. There was an impressive demo of projection mapping onto a Tesla and we made a short video of it.
