Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Sony Handycam FDR-AX4E 1K camcorder 07.09.2013

Sony showcased its first custom 4K camcorder, the Handycam FDR-AX1E.

The camcorder records 4K and HD movies in XAVC S format using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Long GOP for video recording and Linear PCM for audio. The files are saved in the MP4 application. The XAVC-S format is designed for longer recording times, storing nearly two hours of 4K video on an XQD (64GB) memory card. Switching to Full HD shooting mode allows you to save almost 3 hours of 1920 x 1080 / 50p video footage on a single card. The company plans to update the AVCHD format by mid-2014 to make the card compatible with even more current consumer devices.

The FDR-AX1E camcorder is equipped with a 4K image sensor, which allows you to get high quality pictures. The 1/2.3 type Exmor R CMOS sensor truly shoots in 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), four times sharper than Full HD, at 50 fps. A powerful video processor, similar to those used in professional 4K camcorders, quickly processes the signals from the CMOS sensor and displays real-time images at 50 frames per second.

In addition, high image quality is ensured by the Sony G Lens lens with aspherical lenses made of special low dispersion glass. In addition, the lens has a wide range of zoom options, from wide-angle to 20x optical zoom (31,5-630mm, 35mm equivalent). At the same time, Optical SteadyShot keeps the video image clearer and more stable even in telephoto mode.

The FDR-AX1E camcorder has several features that can enrich the user's creative experience, such as three ND filters that adjust the amount of light that enters the image sensor through the lens. Four filter modes are available: Off. (Clear), 1/4 filter, 1/16 filter and 1/64 filter, they allow the user to adjust the lighting conditions while maintaining the desired shooting angle and aperture even on the brightest sunny day. Five color modes (white balance, gamma, detail, skin detail (soft focus) and matrix) that can be combined and adjusted to create a dramatic cinematic effect.

The camcorder is equipped with a built-in stereo microphone and two external XLR connectors for connecting additional microphones.

For ease of use, the FDR-AX1E is equipped with two start/off buttons and a zoom lever on the handle, making it easy to use the zoom when shooting at low angles. In addition, there are separate controls for auto and manual focus, seven buttons can be reprogrammed for any of the functions at the discretion of the user.

The two slots on the FDR-AX1E accept XQD memory cards for high-speed playback and noise-free 4K video recording. As with Sony's professional camcorders, the camcorder seamlessly switches from card XNUMX to card XNUMX during shooting. It is also possible to "hot-swap" the card: removing a full card from the slot and replacing it with an empty one right during the shooting.
