Ekso Bionics 的外骨骼機器套裝動手玩(影片)

Ekso Bionics 的外骨骼機器套裝動手玩(影片):


Ekso Bionic 去年的時候就發表了這款外骨骼設備,它也已經銷售了一年多。根據該公司行銷和公關總監 Allison Sojka 的說法,這種外骨骼機器套裝已經賣出去了 30 多套,即使要價高達 11 萬美金。另外,在一些醫療中心已經配備了這種裝置,大概説明 500 到 1,000 人實現了不同程度的康復。這種設備不但可以讓那些殘疾人重新站立和行走,同時還能讓那些患者重建信心,這也是輔助治療中最關鍵的一股力量。



Ekso Bionics 的外骨骼機器套裝在關鍵的部位採用了鋁合金、鈦合金、碳纖維,以確保穩固性同時又不失輕巧;另外,其還內建了感應器、馬達、關節,還有定制的電路板和軟體。採用鋰電池供電,標配了四組,每組可以提供 4-6 小時的電力。它提供了 3 種模式供使用者選擇,包括了 FirstStep(康復治療師輔助進行)、ActiveStep(使用者自主控制模式) 和 ProStep(自動感應用戶身體動作觸發每一步),使用者可以根據自身的情況和康復進度來選擇。另外,它還內置了語音系統,可以發聲來説明用戶調整正確姿勢;同時還能統計相關資料,以便醫療人員分析使用。6 月的時候,公司會發佈新的軟體可以讓患者貢獻從 0 到 100% 的設備行走電力,相關的價格資訊要到那時候才能知曉。跳轉有一段我們的實拍影片,我們希望未來這種設備能夠越來越便宜,給更多的患者帶來福音。

飛利浦 DesignLine TV 2013 -- 一部正面只有玻璃的電視(影片)

飛利浦 DesignLine TV 2013 -- 一部正面只有玻璃的電視(影片):


這款由飛利浦(Philips)所設計的電視真的給筆者留下很深的印象 -- 它是該公司 DesignLine TV Series 的 2013 年最新產品,其設計理念就是要打破統傳電視外型的框架,要以一片玻璃作為其主調,所有部件都被「隱藏」在這塊直立大玻璃的背後。基本規格方面,它有 46 吋和 55 吋兩款 16:9 LED 螢幕尺寸,解像度都是 1,920 x 1,080、雙核處理器、立體聲、支援 3D、4 個 HDMI、3 個 USB、Wi-Fi和乙太網絡。不過筆者留意到上圖電視背後是假牆來的,飛利浦將線材收到後面,以製造更精簡的效果,如果讀者家中沒有入牆線道的話,效果則不會這麼美觀。它將會在第二季在歐洲和俄國上市,但沒有價格資訊,完整的規格表和宣傳影片都可在繼續閱讀中找到。

Engadget 專訪:Vertu 總裁 Perry Oosting 談手機規格與價值合理性

Engadget 專訪:Vertu 總裁 Perry Oosting 談手機規格與價值合理性:


「您好,我是 Richard Lai,雖然 Engadget 的風格可能不討你們喜歡,但...」



「不,我不討厭你們」現齡 52 歲的 Vertu 總裁兼 CEO Perry Oosting 帶著迷人的笑容,把手搭在我的肩上,向在場其他來賓解釋屬於我們圈內人的笑話,「因為他們是一群會研究規格,而且以規格先決的傢伙。」



當然這只是當晚採訪前的輕鬆玩笑話,但對自 2009 年 6 月就擔任 Vertu 總裁職務的 Perry Oosting 來說,顯然很了解許多人拿他們超級昂貴的手機來開玩笑。對他來說,過去擔任 Bulgari、Prada、Gucci 和 Escada 等名牌高階管理職位時也曾遇過類似問題,雖然沒有太多奢華的高科技產品,但相對來說這些品牌已經過長時間的淬鍊,並獲得一般大眾的認同。
