Welcome All! The Automotive Corner is here! Concept Mini Crossman With 3D Laser Globe!

Monday, September 15th, 2008

And Just check out what I found today, Apparently there is a new techy little feature in the new Mini Crossman. Now while the Crossman is still quite the small vehicle(hense mini right)but on the inside there’s a giant 3D globe that utilizes laser technology to integrate all of the car’s entertainment, communication and navigational features into a touchscreen interface!!  The globe splits into hemispheres allowing the driver to check out a map while a passengers surfs the web. A laser projection will display the information, in both text and graphic form, and at multiple layers within the globe. The driver can use this feature by touching the globe itself or by using the trackball located on the steering wheel. While this is still very much a concept, im sure they have the technology to do this or it wouldn’t be brought to a concept base at all right?

all I can think about this is BADASS, But is this a trend for new vehicles? The next photo is a photo of the nav system from the new Ford Explorer America Concept from the article I did a few months back.

3D Globe Navs for all? Well see if this continues.

Thanks for coming by today! stay tuned for The Mod Shop coming this thursday!

The Automotive Corner Is Here! Technology Meets Automotive To The Extreme! Meet:Gina

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Hey everybody, how are you today? I hope all is well, and that you were looking forward to the corner today because i’ve found a doozy.

Meet Gina:

One mean looking BMW isn’t she? There’s something about her, something….so very, very special. Check out the video and tell me what you think.

This is a concept car that was developed by BMW. The GINA is built on the same chassis as the BMW Z8 and it has a six-speed automatic transmission with a 4.4 liter V8 engine. I’ve seen a lot of things being an enthusiast of the automotive world, but for once I’m speechless. Comments?

Excuse Me, Your 150″ TV Has Arrived! Wait 150″?????

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I came across this today and all I gotta say is…. I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!!!!! lol

“This is the Life Wall by Panasonic.  An extremely thin 150″ TV that does amazing things.  It has face recognition so that it recognizes the face(s) that watch it and adjusts the display or program to that person’s preferences automatically.

How about having a TV that will move with you as you walk around the living room to keep the display right in front of you?  The display would be large or small depending on how far away from the screen you were.  It could display a screen saver instead of a black screen when turned off.

Powerful life-size images could dance with you, and videophone linkups would look like the caller was in the same room.

Video games would take on a whole new dimension with endless possibilities. School could be at home while the teacher could be at school.  IP cameras would give the feeling of being there. None of this is science fiction.  This is all part of Panasonic’s Life Wall TV.

Panasonic says it will go into production in 2009!”
