Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 1, 2006
On-board navigation, traffic information in real-time, and accident avoidance, these are the goals of a new Nissan telematics system recently shown at Ceatec Tokyo. Ceatec (the acronym stands for Combined Exhibit of Advanced Technologies) is a week-long high-technology exhibition that is part consumer electronics, part automotive, and part components. The CarWings and Smart Roads services from Nissan were among the dozens of key technologies shown. Nissan’s entry here is the Nissan Serenity, a concept car. It’s rigged with all sorts of entertainment equipment and Internet connections. Other companies showed enhanced navigation systems, 3D displays, and Bluetooth entertainment systems.
Another exhibit in the show was Wooo-eee!
No, it’s not some company from the southern bayou. Hitachi has used “Wooo” as its tagline for a few years, but only in Japan. In Japan, particularly, Hitachi is well known as the innovator. Hitachi is also the creator of “Wooo World,” a formula for building a new entertainment lifestyle by combining a DvD camera, Hdd recorder and other new-generation devices featuring a plasma TV at the core. “Wooo World” has been very well received by customers in Japan. Intent on dominating the development of markets worldwide, Hitachi has launched an initiative to enliven and expand demand for plasma TVs and related products in Europe and North America, as well as in China and throughout Asia.
Watch out LCD, your daddy’s coming a-knocking.
A long-awaited technology breakthrough, Toshiba’s 55-inch surface conduction electron emitter display (Sed) TV. The company will come out with these in late 2007. Toshiba, though, says the performance will outdo that of LCD and won’t be too much more expensive. Toshiba brought along a woman to demonstrate traditional Japanese theater during its Sed demo. It was the best use of puppets since Wayland Flowers and Madame.
Perhaps they will also utilize this form of innovative advertisement in Las Vegas at Ces 2007.
Next up, PaPeRo, a companion robot from the folks at Nec. With a vocabulary of about 550 words. and Internet connectibility, if you ask it what the weather is going to be, it links to a weather site and reports its findings aurally.
The key watch from Citizen. Although it’s been on the Japanese market since late 2005. It hasn’t been seen here in the USA. Users can start their car or unlock their house with this gem.
Fujitsu’s digital paper. It is a thin LCD screen that uses almost no power once the image is printed. It takes power to create the image but then the screen goes into a near-still state to conserve energy.
These are but a few of the innovative presentations at the Ceatec in Tokyo, makes it all the more necessary to attend the Ces this January in Las Vegas, Nevada.
