New and Emerging Technologies

New and emerging technology and Developments:

There are many new types of technology that are changing the way that we do just about anything now. For example 3D televisions were not even thought about two years ago, and now over half the population has one in their home. Televisions that doesn’t seem like television because you think that the screen is coming out at you. It’s amazing!

In the profession of digital graphics, there are new and emerging technology’s that are helping to make graphics look ten times better than before. This may be because of larger megapixel cameras, higher definition monitors for PC’s and other amazing devices that are taking over the world with new ideas and features.

Large flat screens are very useful in digital graphics as when a person is manipulating on a software package such as Adobe Photoshop.

Large flat monitors can be any size and can range from £60.00 up to thousands.

This particular monitor is from ‘Dell’ and is HD quality and also suitable for any computer works. This would cost £707.34. so therefore we can see that people in digital graphics may go for one like this as it is suitable for their work although it is rather expensive!

Other monitors may be more expensive than this. This may be large wide screen monitor with HDTV and also there are new monitors that are 3D which is good for gaming and watching movies and videos etc.

The new iPad 2 is very much suitable for digital graphics, as you can take photos, videos and then manipulate and edit what you have taken right from the device. The standard price for the basic iPad 2 is £399.00 but for the most hi-tech iPad with all the extras including 3G and WIFI built it would set you back a rather large sum of £1,017.95.

Software can be installed onto the ipad to let you edit and manipulate with images and videos. Software such as iMovie lets you edit movies and videos that you have taken on your ipad.

This device would defiantly be brilliant for digital graphics as you can do a range of various things with images and also spend hours upon hours with just about any and every application you digital graphics.


Other devices that you could also upgrade are printers for your graphics and also graphic tablets that you can use for you work.

Plotters and laminators are also useful as they allow you to structure and protect your images and graphics when printed.

The new and emerging technologies that are becoming known to us now are amazing and to come to think of it, in just a few number of years to come the devices will be even more amazing and worth while to investigate all over again for digital graphics!

A brilliant new technology that I have recently noticed it a product called the Roltop.

  This device is actually a laptop. It comes as a small cylinder type that can hang over your shoulder like a bag, however when you place the device on a table/flat surface than it rolls out onto a laptop. You then take the cylinder and this works as you charger/power supply. This device can then can be placed flat out as a tablet and can be used as a graphics tablet as a stylus is hidden in the side which would be very useful in digital graphics.

  Then device can even be placed as a screen for watching TV as it has a connection for TV output. This works as there is a small stand at the back for watching TV, movies videos such as on YouTube etc.

 

This image shows the Roltop and how it connects to power. Obviously this doesn’t have to be in power 24/7 as it is a laptop therefore it is as portables as you want it to be as a laptop, monitor and graphics tablet.

 I have to admit, I was amazed when I found this.

  This device is the ultimate tool and piece of equipment for the user and this is brilliant for people in digital graphics as it offers them a lot of tasks in the one device. You will not have to transfer your images that you made with your graphics tablet onto your laptop as in simple terms, it’s already on you laptop.

  I would be very happy to purchase this item if I myself was working in digital graphics and it’s said to be introduced and on the market in 2012, however the specific date and more importantly the price range is not yet to be announced.

Below is a video of the device for you to get a wider picture of what this brilliant device looks like and what it can offer you.

I have also inserted the companies website URL who have designed this amazing device.
From this website you can see more videos on the device and also information about it.

While researching for other new devices myself and my tutor found a video which shows a range of technologies that Microsoft are considering to bring out.
This video is full of amazing new devices that we may have never thought of before. I suggest you taking a look at this and I can make sure that you will be wowed by what you see.
