Here is a video that does not need much introduction. Its impressive as a videographer first attempt in DSLR video creation. The characters and the 3D animation are cool, as well. The video was shot mainly with a Canon 550D but they have included a Nikon D5000 as a sidekick as well. The second camera was used so that the author can shoot a scene from two angles simultaneously. The whole shooting was done in 2 hours, post took a good month.
Since Mozilla Labs launched the Concept Series with an open call for participation we haveve had thousands of people join in, share ideas and develop concepts around Firefox, the Mozilla projects and the Open Web as a whole.
In response to our open call Billy May, in early 2009, produced a throw-away concept for an "Open Web Concept Phone". Working directly off of that community feedback, Billy has since finished the exploration with his concept "Seabird".
Concept Series: Seabird
Overview
The Mozilla Seabird, part of the Mozilla Labs Concept Series, is an experiment in how users might interact with their mobile content as devices and technology advances. Drawing on insights culled from the Mozilla community through the project blog, a focus quickly developed around frustrating physical interactions. While mobile CPUs, connectivity and development platforms begin approaching that of desktops, the lagging ability to efficiently input information has grown ever more pronounced.
Interaction
The Seabird, then, introduces a few possibilities into how user interaction might evolve with the advancing motion capture and projector driven innovation in the market. First out, the Seabird imagines how a multiple use dongle might augment the crowded gestural interface with greater precision and direct manipulation of content in 3D space.
Pico Projector
With mobile phone companies such as Samsung, LG and Motorola moving towards display applications for projectors, the technology remains open for expanding user interaction and input at the same time. The Seabird, on just a flat surface, enables netbook-quality interaction by working with the projector angular distortion to deliver interface, rather than content. With the benefit of a dock, each projector works independently and delivers laptop levels of efficiency.
Design
The form development took its cues from various aerodynamic, avian and decidedly feminine forms. Its erect posture intends a sense of poise while its supine conformity to the hand reconciles that with the user desire for digital control. The curvature of the back also serves a functional role in elevating the projector lens elements when lying flat.
Seabird is a community-driven exploration and does not mean that Mozilla has plans to produce an OS or hardware at the moment. Find out more about Mozilla Firefox for Mobile here.
Marvell (The Hardware corporation not the Comics book publisher) have taken the wrapper off their new baby, the Armada 628 application processor. It is a beast of a processor with 3 cores, two of which will be running at a nippy 1.5 GHz. It crams in enough power to render 200 million triangles per second and can support simultaneous dual 1080p video streams.
Battery life is another area where the chip can boast some impressive specs and claims to be \"ultra\" low in its power consumption. 1080p video should last for 10 hours and you would be looking at somewhere in the vicinity of 140 hours of music playback. It also packs in support for USB 3.0. There is no word on when exactly it will be released, but hopefully soon as smartphones could do with a boost, especially in the power consumption department!
