In the 1990s, officials at a firm called Ross & Baruzzini in St. Louis developed a special system of video cameras and software to provide security monitoring at airports. The technology helped detect irregularities in movement, such as people trying to sneak into secured areas without going through screening.

Then officials at the engineering and government-contracting firm wondered whether they could adapt the technology to a consumer market.

The company spun off the effort into a separate enterprise, Cernium in Reston, which developed a monitoring system designed to send alerts and video clips to people’s cellphones and e-mail inboxes if something is amiss at home while they are away.

The products are hitting the market now. Cernium first began selling the devices on Amazon.com. Then in May, Costco.com began stocking them, and Cernium said it is negotiating with the discount warehouse retailer to sell the products in stores. Systemax, the company that acquired the rights to the brands of shuttered retailer CompUSA, said it is selling the products at stores it has recently reopened.

There is a myriad of home security products on the market, from webcams allowing people to keep tabs on their children’s nannies to video cameras that can provide footage of their homes’ exterior from every conceivable angle.

What differentiates Cernium products, officials assert, are features providing automatic monitoring to users, saving them the trouble of keeping constant tabs on the feeds and footage.

The Cernium system “uses computers to watch the video instead of having [consumers] do it,” said Craig Chambers, Cernium’s president and chief executive.

In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg for the lobby and reception areas of the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This organically shaped chair has since become synonymous with Danish furniture design throughout the world. Because of the unique shape, the Egg guarantees a bit of privacy in otherwise public spaces and is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home.

Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. The Ant and Series 7 chairs, produced in 1952, propelled both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen’s names into furniture history. At the end of the 50’s Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which introduced the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300 to the design world. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. His furniture and other design work have become a national and international heritage.

The shell of the Egg is of polyurethane foam with fiberglass reinforcement. The shell has an adjustable tilt which can be adjusted to the weight of the individual user. The base consists of a satin-polished, welded steel tube and a 4-star base in injection molded aluminium. The Egg may be upholstered with fabric or leather and is also available with an automatic return mechanism.

Fuji plans to launch the FinePix REAL 3D W3 digital camera next month while the Japanese electronics company continues to introduce new 3D products.
The latest version of the FinePix 3D camera not only captures still images in 3D, it also includes the ability to record 3D high definition video — an added ability that many W1 owners wanted in the newest model.
Fuji increased the camera’s screen size from 2.8-inches on the W1 up to 3.5-inches for the W3, with native 3D image viewing available. The company also elected to use the same autostereoscopic 3D LCD display so camera owners won’t have to wear 3D glasses. The LCD is 1.5 times brighter and its color depth has been greatly improved, according to Fuji, with the company trying to fix the W1‘s admitted flaws.

Japan’s Sharp plans to enter the increasingly competitive e-book reader technology market later this year with a device that can read a new e-publishing file format of its own.
The device, which has not yet been detailed by the company, is likely to hit the U.S. after Japan and Sharp said it is already in launch talks with Verizon Wireless.

Electronic books are beginning to gain traction in several technology markets thanks to the success of devices like Amazon.com’s Kindle, Sony’s Reader and Apple’s iPad.

Sharp’s e-book readers will read files in a new version of XMDF (ever-eXtending Mobile Document Format), a format developed by Sharp and used in some of its previous devices.
Also, the new version adds support for multimedia data and will allow audio and video to be embedded into e-book pages.

Samsung has launch its first portable Blu-ray 3D player, as well as its 3D TV with priced accessible to all buyers …
John Revie, Samsung senior vice president of home entertainment, quote at a press conference in New York that the new BD-C8000 player allows users to watch full high-definition movies on the go, or to watch 3D movies when connected to a 3D TV home theater set.
The portable player has a 10.3-inch screen and built-in Wi-Fi. It runs about three hours on batteries and connects to 3D TVs via an HDMI 1.4a port. The HDMI specification allows for content in 3D formats to be transferred between devices, including movies based on the Blu-ray 3D format.
For budget-conscious buyers, Samsung also announced three new plasma 3D TVs:
- the PN50C490 3D TV, has a 50-inch screen size and is capable of playing 720p high-definition video.
- PN58C680, plasma 3D TVs that are capable of playing full high-definition 1080p video and which has a 58-inch screen
- PN50C680, plasma 3D TVs that are capable of playing full high-definition 1080p video and which has a 50-inch screen

The adoption rate of 3D products has been fantastic and will continue to grow, Tim Baxter (president of the consumer electronics division at Samsung Electronics America) said.

There’s no better way to get beyond the usual 2D home entertainment world we’re used to than with 3D TV. Starting this year, many companies are bringing 3D TV and the stereoscopic 3D-cinematic experience to your own home, So you can upgrade your home entertainment system.

Whether you’re looking for 3D sports, 3D movies, or 3D games, manufacturers are doing their best to bring you a more enjoyable, thrilling, home entertainment experience.
It’s a tad hard to predict at this point since we’re at the edge of this new technology, but it is
interesting to note that ESPN, Sony, and others are already betting that 3D sports viewing will be a major driver.

How 3D TV work ?
3D TV employs stereoscopic technology by using 3D active shutter glasses. These glasses allow you to see through only one lens at a time and create an image for each of your eyes. Your mind merges these two images and allows you to perceive depth, making the picture on the screen appear 3D.
There are several different methods to create the 3D effect, including anaglyphic, polarization, alternative-frame sequencing, and auto-stereoscopic displays. All but auto-stereoscopic require some type of glasses, whether it is red-cyan, polarized, or active-shutter. Both Panasonic and Sony have developed alternate-frame sequencing 3D TVs, while LG and Philips are working on auto-stereoscopic displays.
Yes, you must wear 3D active shutter glasses in order to view 3D TV. Philips and LG are developing a 3D TV that doesn’t require glasses to come out in 2011. TCL also just unveiled a 3D TV that has a rippled screen instead of requiring glasses at the CES that will be available in 2011.
