Traffic Light Door Handles

Updating the ‘occupied’ or ‘available’ sign this lighted door handle lets people know they can come in or come back later by glowing red or green which you select by using a small lever underneath. It does need a power outlet to operate however so installation is a pain and it’s not very cheap costing £250 per pop. That’s the price you pay for traffic light door handles I suppose.

NU’s wireless TV

Just as you might enjoy your dinner in the garden on these lovely summer’s evenings why not enjoy a movie outside as well? Or maybe you’d like to watch TV in the bath without having to go through all the hassle and expense of getting a Tilevision or Aquavision installed. If this sounds just like what’s been missing in your life then maybe it’s time to invest in NU’s Wireless TV. The 15.4” (16:10) widescreen LCD TV, displays a resolution of 1280 x 800 and has an all important 802.11g wireless receiver embedded inside it. Working in conjunction with a "State of the art" MPEG 2 video decoder and transmitter, it displays DVD-quality resolution pictures up to 30 metres from the broadcasting transmitter, which also acts as a hub for various audiovisual inputs. Celebrity Clothes It’s small enough to comfortably carry all around your home measuring 48 x 26.5 x 6.5 cm and only weighing 4.5 kgs and what’s more features a water-resistant housing making it suitable to watch in humid environments whether if that’s because you’re outside and it starts raining or kicking back in the bath, pool or Jacuzzi. Apparently the display is also highly dust-resistant. On a downside there is only a claimed 2.5 hours of viewing from the unit's rechargeable battery so you better choose carefully what movie you’re going to watch and minimise those toilet breaks, although you could obviously take it along avoiding those precious minutes on pause.

Talking mirror takes care of your security and automated home

Craig Barr producer of the King Kong attraction at Universal Studios Florida and significant contributor to the animatronics in the movie "Jurassic Park" has turned his experience and talent to lead a new start-up company, Themeaddicts Inc. whom among other things, makes a talking mirror.

When nothing is happening the mirror appears ordinary, but then when a pre-determined event occurs, like someone has opened the pool gate or the Jacuzzi is now at the selected temperature, Basil, a Disney-esque character fades into the mirror to inform you of the news. If Basil the “quitessential snooty British Butler” isn’t your bag then how about a talking toucan or pirate skull? Still no good? In that case, Themeaddicts will also quote custom animatronic and mirror characters if requested.

This patented “theme-park grade” product is made from proprietary hardware custom-engineered and manufactured to operate in the portrait mode and to actively mix video images. The mirror integrates with Anitech Systems, normally used for controlling theme-park rides but Themeaddicts are working to interface their industry strength products with Crestron via RS-232.

The CEDIA expo will be where Themeaddicts demonstrate their Magic Message Mirror 30p (30-inch portrait mode) and Magic Message Animatronic Skull reacting to a Crestron automation system.

Clearly this sort of technology “will be expensive," as Barr says, justified by the very costly development costs for animation and the "anticipated relatively low production volume." Reserved for the wealthy enthusiast and perhaps the lonely heart although that obviously didn't prove to be such effective therapy if the vain Queen in Snow White was anything to go by.
