“I think what I’ve learnt today is that there’s a lot of hype about the internet of everything. But I think the big prize is focusing on the things that really make a difference to people. When you talk about internet- connected appliances — kettles and fridges and washing machines — there’s only so much use that has. It’s how you apply it in a bigger picture.” Fraser Stride, Citu
“It’s really challenging what he’s proposing for the smart home. You can remotely control your house, your TV set, your washer, everything – it’s the future.” Mervyn Palan, managing director, 07 Amps
“The show in general, so far as I have seen, has been great. A lot of interesting stuff. I think it’s going to take a few hours to take in everything I’ve heard today.” Olli Paloheimo, chief experience officer, Posterfy
“The keynote was very informative. I didn’t know what to expect. It’s very interesting to see these giant companies working together to create new platforms, to integrate the ‘internet of things’ with new technology, even in the homes of people. And it has immediate interest for us as well.” Jan Prius, CEO, Sightcorp
“This is my first time at ISE. The smart building approach has become very popular in my region right now. And we do have a few projects ongoing, so we will be able to have showcases for smart buildings. It’s a good opportunity to meet new people and find partners and do some collaboration.” Kamilla Shakbazov, regional business development manager, CDC T
urkey S-Series projectors unveiled SONY
Announced yesterday at ISE, Sony has expanded its S Series line up with the launch of nine new 3LCD short-throw and ultra-short throw projectors. Aimed at broadening the company’s offering for the education market, the new models deliver up to 3,000 lumens and lamp life of up to 10,000 hours.
The line-up comprises four new short
throw models and five ultra-short-throw and is designed for smaller classrooms and meeting rooms. The projectors can throw high resolution images up to 2m diagonal from distances as close as 44cm (XGA ultra-short-throw) and 75cm (XGA short-throw).
As well as the extended lamp life, the
projectors come with additional features that make them eco-friendly and reduce the total cost of ownership. Eco mode automatically turns off the lamp after 10

minutes without an input signal, while auto dimming reduces brightness to save energy and extend lamp hours. The VPL-SW630C and VPL-SW620C models come with enhanced interactivity, including dual pen and auto calibration, as well as additional rich education tools, making it easier for students and teachers to collaborate effectively in the classroom. All S Series models can be connected wirelessly via a PC (Windows or Mac) or tablet (iOS or Android). “Sony is continuing to enhance its
projector line up to meet the needs of the education market,” said Robert Meakin, business and education product manager, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “We now have a very strong, unified line up, that meets the needs of secondary schools, with the recently enhanced E Series range for replacement business and now the short throw and ultra-short-throw S-Series.” Stand: 1-H95
Interactive projector aims for growth SMART TECHNOLOGIES
Smart Technologies’, new LightRaise 60wi2 interactive projector aimed at enterprise users can handle four touches at once, allowing two users to gesture on the display simultaneously. “It is enabling inspired collaboration and it’s extending our product range of interactive whiteboards and flat panels,” said Tobias Windbrake, business development manager. Powered by DLP technology, the
wall-mounted ultra-short throw projector produces a bright image rated at 3000 lumens, and creates an interactive surface without the need for additional hardware. It provides touch and pen-enabled input, allowing users to simultaneously write, draw and manipulate content in the included Smart Meeting Pro collaborative software using fingers or interactive pens. The software allows for unbound
workspace, so that users never run out of display area as they navigate and work in
any direction, endlessly. It also allows users to break into subgroups and work on multiple displays, each having their own view of the shared file. The

zero-force touch, the ability to scale images to large sizes and support multiple touches. The projector can produce screen sizes up to 100 inches in widescreen format. Stand: 12-E76
“We thought we understood the beast, but it’s actually much bigger. Dr Schlesinger expanded on what we thought it was, to where it could go. Pretty impressive.” Ira Bradley Bel, senior trade advisor, Embassy of the USA, US Department of Commerce
