CES 2012: Vivick Will Unveil Full Line of Innovative Apple® Compatible Accessories and More

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.


Vivick Will Unveil Full Line of Innovative Apple® Compatible Accessories and More at 2012 CES 

Company Will Showcase Diverse Product Line.


Vivick, a company specializing in the production and distribution of stylish and highly-functional personal electronic accessories for cell phones, laptops and more, will introduce its diverse product line to the US at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week, unveiling a full slate of innovative Apple® compatible accessories, as well as anti-theft backpacks. 


Vivick designs, produces and markets a broad collection of appealing, attractive, creative and affordably-priced accessories for dozens of Apple® products, including the MacBook, iPad, iPod and iPhone, carry cases and travel kits. The company also manufactures laptop tools and enhancements, portable rechargers, headphones, earbuds, Bluetooth devices and more, with a product range spanning eight different CES categories from Audio Accessories and Portable Audio Players to Electronic Gaming, Connected Home and Lifestyle Electronics. 

As iPhone cases are now a virtual necessity, due to the product’s fragile frame, Vivick has created an entire line of Apple-compatible cases that combine superior protection with a stylish, appealing design. Vivick’s Folka Dot Series, Jell-O Freak and Camouflage lines, to name just a few, are all highly appropriate for the office while brandishing the user’s personal style and flair. Cases are constructed of genuine leather with a built-in “kick stand” to ensure upright positioning. The product offers multiple colors and design options ranging from solid simple tones to reptile-skin patterns. 

Vivick has also created groundbreaking protection for the iPad 2. Completely waterproof up to 10 feet deep, the Vivick Aqua Guard allows users to use their iPad while relaxing in the pool without fear of damage, even if it’s dropped into the deep end. The product’s triple-layer waterproof seal is designed to ensure that water never finds its way into the iPad, even under the most unusual of circumstances. The case also includes waterproof earphones and a transparent shield for easy screen views. 

In addition to the Apple cases and Aqua Guard, Vivick will showcase dozens of other electronic accessory products, and their line of anti-theft backpacks. 

Born of a near epidemic threat of backpack theft throughout China, rendering pedestrians fearful, Vivick has created a backpack line to battle the theft of personal items stolen from people’s backpacks without the slightest notice. Thieves are enjoying success by simply slicing into backpacks with a knife, a box cutter or a sharp pair of scissors. Within seconds, iPads, MP3 players, notebooks, even laptop computers change possession before the rightful owner is ever aware. 

While the unsuspecting pedestrian is the ultimate victim, the primary culprits are backpacks created from flimsy materials, providing an inviting target for a swift, anonymous pilfer. And with the hectic pace of daily life mandating the need for constant technology, nobody travels without their laptops, cellphones or portable media players anymore. With this disturbing trend now practically a global phenomenon, people are understandably nervous and uneasy about storing their valuable and expensive electronics on their back. 

Vivick has created a backpack in three different models designed to prevent such theft, and they will showcase their VI-SP002, VI-SP003 and VI-SP005 backpacks in Las Vegas. 

Vivick views CES as its official U.S. launch party, and eagerly anticipates fulfilling its plans for a 2012 U.S. rollout through retail distribution and online sales. The company has invested years of R&D, and enjoyed initial success in Asian markets. “Vivick has been producing creative design for years, said Vivick President Andy Hu. “Now we feel that the time is right, and we are ready to unveil our dynamic and powerful product line in the U.S. Introducing our product line at CES makes sense, and is an important step in gaining a foothold.” 

Vivick is new to the U.S. market, yet the company is anything but a fledgling entity. With design roots dating back to 1985 at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, BC, Canada – where they still maintain a major presence – Vivick has, over the years, forged design relationships with several industry icons including Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the Academy Award-winning visual effects company. Fueled in part by that relationship, Vivick has evolved into one of Canada’s most professional industrial design brands. 

About Vivick 
Vivick is a global designer of accessories for a broad range of personal electronics products. Founded in 1985 at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, BC, Canada, the company currently maintains its international headquarters in Beijing, China with a US home in City of Industry, CA.

CES 2012: Samsung Brings the Connected Experience to Ordinary HDTVs with HD Skype and apps.

WorldWideTech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.



Samsung Brings the Connected Experience to Ordinary HDTVs
The new Wi-Fi inTouch camera system offers HD Skype™ video and pre-loaded apps



Samsung Techwin America, a leader in consumer video monitoring and security products, today unveiled its inTouch camera system at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Boasting Wi-Fi technology, 720p high-definition video and a range of pre-loaded apps and functionalities, including Skype™, YouTube and full Web browsing, the Samsung inTouch brings the internet connected experience straight to the living rooms of consumers with ordinary HDTVs.

"While internet connected HDTVs are now common, not every household gets to experience this fun and interactive feature, especially if they have an HDTV purchased just a few years ago," said Mike Palazzolo, Vice President Sales and Marketing, consumer video monitoring and security products, Samsung Techwin America. "With the inTouch camera system, Samsung is now bridging the gap between this experience and those consumers who own HDTVs without networking capability."

Simplicity and Elegance
Samsung is known and revered throughout the world for the industry-leading design of its consumer electronics devices, and its new inTouch camera system is no exception. The inTouch camera system offers an elegant and compact form factor that allows it to seamlessly blend in with the design of any home entertainment system or living room.

The inTouch camera can be securely placed on top of an HDTV, shelf or table, and thanks to a tilt range of -30 degrees ~ 0 degrees, users can easily adjust the camera so that everyone can be in the shot. The Samsung inTouch offers an effortless connection to a wireless network, and hooking up the camera to an HDTV requires just one HDMI cable.

Connect With Family and Friends
Plugged into Skype and with an embedded mic and speakers, Samsung's inTouch camera system gives consumers the ability to connect with family and friends around the world in high-definition, right from the comfort of their own living rooms. Whether it is grandparents calling to check in on the kids from across the country, parents reading their children a story while away on a business trip, or a simple chat with a longtime friend, the possibilities are endless.

In addition to Skype, the Samsung inTouch camera system is also pre-loaded with a range of apps which instantly give any ordinary HDTV an internet connected makeover. Apps such as YouTube and Google News and Weather bring important information and entertainment right to the screen, and a Web browser allows consumers to fully access and enjoy all that the Internet has to offer. Navigation is also made easy with the inclusion of a palm-sized QWERTY keyboard which puts everything the consumer needs right at their fingertips and makes checking email or instant messaging with friends a breeze.

Capture and Share Memories
The Samsung inTouch camera also offers an easy-to-use photos app that essentially transforms an HDTV into a high-definition picture frame. Consumers can snap still images at three megapixel resolution, or insert their own using the integrated USB port, which can be reviewed in a gallery or enjoyed in a slideshow. Images can also be shared with friends and family by uploading directly from the inTouch to many of today's popular social networking sites.

The Samsung inTouch will be available March 2012 and will retail for $199.99.

CES 2012: Visikord motion controlled music application to be launched for PC + Kinect. Video Demo.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.


We call this visual music, you play it with your hands as you move/dance to actual music. The music can come from any source. The energy you feel from the song is the energy you transfer on the screen. 


Purpose: practice music and movement skills and concentration, create your own unique artwork, or use as a party starter and an entertainment feature.


The software: Visikord works on a PC with Microsoft Kinect plugged into a USB port. (It also works with Asus Xtion, shown in the video). A free demo is available for download at http://visikord.com, with the Full and the Pro versions coming soon.


How it works: when vision nerves receive stimulation that in timing and intensity matches what hearing nerves receive, it appears that the visuals are causing the sound. If it is you who is making the visuals in rhythm with the music, it appears that it is you who is causing the music. The feeling is similar to that of playing music.


How to play: the two glowing dots on top are triggers activated when your avatar touches them. They change the backgrounds and your music "weapons." Many shapes exist and new ones can be added as plugins. You can record performances and play them back later.




Adding a New Dimension to Music: Visikord motion controlled music application to be launched at CES in Las Vegas.



Visikord Interactive (http://www.visikord.com), launches a new innovative motion-controlled music application, available for demonstration during CES 2012 in Las Vegas, January 10-13 in the PrimeSense™ stand, South Hall 3 #30242. 

Visikord Interactive offers a new way to experience music through movement and dance. It projects the person moving to the music on the screen and extends their appearance with motion-controlled powers. This augmented image allows the user to engage with the music beyond just listening to it and create his or her own experience. (watch the demo video: http://visikord.com/introduction/watch-visikord-demo) 

Turning an ordinary TV screen into a smart screen controlled by dancing people, Visikord is a music and party accessory designated for the entertainment industry, clubs and party attendees, as well as the gaming industry for kids and youth. Besides providing a sense of enjoyment and a good workout, it contributes to developing dance and musical skills for all ages. It is easy to operate and works on any PC that is connected to an OpenNI™ compatible motion sensor such as the PrimeSense 3D sensor. 

Visikord is the result of four years' research and development led by Davor Magdic, a former Serbian engineer who has been living in California for the past 13 years. According to Magdic, "We feel the market is ready for us. The advancement of motion controlled technologies allows us to turn the living room into a dance arcade and then to use that same technology outside of the living room. The application has received very good responses from distributors and technology leaders, as well as from audiences in clubs and youth festivals." 

The application will be demonstrated every half-hour by a professional dancer at CES 2012 in the PrimeSense booth, South Hall 3 #30242. 

About Visikord Interactive 
Visikord Interactive (http://www.visikord.com) is a software company, developer of music motion controlled music applications. Visikord Interactive's goal is to bring the experience of manifesting the energy of music to all music lovers. Visikord works on any PC that is connected to an OpenNI™ compatible motion sensor such as the PrimeSense 3D sensor. The company is based in Santa Barbara, CA.

CES 2012: Rockchip Will Release New Android 4.0 Processor.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

CHINA: Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd, a leading developer of fabless semiconductors with an emphasis on Mobile Internet Platforms, will release the RK2918 chip for Google's Android 4.0 Operating System - known as the Ice Cream Sandwich - at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week.

With more than 80 percent of the Chinese tablet market presently using Rockchip, the Fuzhou-based company is looking to expand worldwide through CES. Currently the number one Mobile Internet and MP3/MP4 solution for all products in China excluding Apple®, Rockchip will likely have the largest single selection of tablets at CES with 35-to-40 different brands on-site. 

Since their inception in 2001, Rockchip has quickly emerged as a major player on the Mobile Internet Platforms world stage. The company's first chip, the 27XX series, provided a great alternative for practically decoding MP3/MP4 products. Last year at CES, Rockchip released its RK2818 processor, and has produced its RK2918 chip only one short year later. The 2011 RK2818 chip was the first chip to decode Google WebM VP8 hardware and is compatible with the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).

"The RK2918 provides the heart and soul for the Android 4.0," said Chen Feng, Vice President of Rockchip. "While a rapidly growing number of tablets are currently using Android 4.0, we have incorporated significant upgrades for the 2.3 version that can be integrated directly from the user's tablet." 

Clearly, the best is yet to come...

With MotoSwitch, your smartphone learns who you talk to and which apps you use and keeps all of that information front and center. The Social Graph feature gives you easy and fast access to the people who really matter. It learns who's most important to you and uses that information to populate the home screen. 

The more frequently you communicate with someone, the bigger their icon becomes.

With Music Now you can easily play your favorite music while the Smart Gallery displays your favorite pictures as collections.

And, for the amateur photographers out there, the 8-megapixel autofocus camera with flash lets you shoot like a pro and capture life clearly and fully. 

MOTOLUXE also sets itself apart with a lanyard slot that has a lighting effect. So you can see when you've missed a call, received a text or have an email waiting for you.

Other cool stuff includes:
Front-facing VGA camera for video chatting with friends and family 
Available in licorice or white 
1400 mAh battery for up to 6.5 hours of talk time, 19 days of standby time

With a 3.2-inch touchscreen good for emailing, texting and browsing the Web, and a long battery-life, you can keep this phone on and by your side all day long no matter where you go, so you'll never miss a beat.

But wait... there's more:
3MP rear-facing camera with flash 
Front-facing VGA camera for video chatting with friends and family 
Easy access to all your favorite outdoor apps with the "Instrument Dashboard"

CES 2012: ViewSonic Previews New Tablets, Smartphones and Multi-Touch Displays.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.


ViewSonic Corp. (South Hall 36631), a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, is charging into the New Year with exciting new products on display at CES 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.

Launching into the tablet market in 2011, ViewSonic plans to further this impressive momentum by expanding the ViewPad® product family with new 10-inch business and consumer-focused tablets running Windows® and Android™ operating systems. ViewSonic's ViewPad tablet line is the ideal choice for sharing, reading, working and playing on a mobile device. 

The ViewPad 7e, an Android-based 7" tablet offers Amazon® services for Android integration, Amazon Kindle for eBook reading and RiteTouch for writing directly on the screen. The business line of tablets, which include the ViewPad 10pro, run Windows 7 Professional and provide the ability to boot Android as well.

Pushing the envelope of innovation, ViewSonic has partnered with EXOPC to build one of the first EXOdesks, a 32" 10-point touch table top which runs a custom user interface open to HTML5 developers. The desk, on display during CES, will be powered by an Intel® Core™ i7 processor, Intel's integrated graphics and will run Windows 7 operating system.

Leveraging the company's display heritage, ViewSonic will show an impressive universal display with projected capacitive multi-touch input. It is designed to allow consumers and business professionals to connect their smartphone, tablets and laptops wirelessly and share photos or stream media content from services such as YouTube, and extend desktop mode for dual display.

"The past year has seen ViewSonic at the cutting edge of visual display technology, including 3D and touch, and our vision for 2012 further propels us into every aspect of work and the home. We believe a multi-touch, vivid and compelling user interface will be the wave of the future and the innovations we plan to showcase at CES 2012, including the much-buzzed about EXOdesk, support that belief," said Jeff Volpe, president for ViewSonic Americas.
