fees of GBP2.48 and GBP4.98 respectively on a subscription basisÂ
- Ideal for elderly parents or grandparents; drivers out of internet range; business
people or their PAs; busy mums or to keep tabs on their kids Â
The UK's leading directory enquiries service has launched the industry's first mobile

Peter Trott, General Manager of 118 118, said: "The launch of our App marks a
milestone in the company, as we offer smartphone users a better deal to use our service.
We see specific markets for our new app, for the elderly who need access to a lifeline at
any time; for busy mums who need emergency numbers in a split second or their kids who
they want to keep tabs on; for salespeople or anyone travelling a lot in their cars not in
range of the internet; and generally, for business people or their PAs wanting a listing
in a hurry."
The key advantage of the new mobile app, apart from its fixed monthly fee subscription
for unlimited calls and connections is that it's hassle-free as callers can access 118 118
services whenever they want, as often as they want. To sign up, callers simply create an
account and choose their plan. Once signed up, callers with one click on the red button, 7
days a week, can make unlimited calls. At the end of each call, callers will find all the
contacts requested in the app's directory, which they can easily share with friends and
family.
The App forms one of five service options for customers, giving people more choice and
flexibility as to how they access 118 118, including:
- A five star premier service on 118 118
- A free-call number on 0800 1183733
- One-off search option for a GBP1 flat fee
- Free search on the 118 118 website
- The new app for unlimited calls and connections for a fixed fee monthly subscription
The French version of the mobile app, on 118 218, called L'appli pour appeler,
recently won a Silver Industry Excellence Award at the first annual Awards from Search and
Information Industry Association (SIINDA) in 2015, one of the fastest growing non-profit
media, digital and voice associations based in Europe.
As the UK's top numbers brand and information provider 118 118 connects more than 8
million people every year in the UK with the businesses they seek. Â Annually more than
700,000 people get the right bite to eat, 350,000 pet owners find the right services they
want, nearly a million people the cab ride they need, and millions of people wanting every
type of service and business imaginable get the right connection, simply by calling 118
118.
The top 10 categories callers asked for in 2015 were (in order) Hotels, Hospitals,
Taxis, Pubs / Inns / Bars, Local Government, Banks, Central Government, All Restaurants,
Car Dealers, and All Medical Practitioners / Therapists.
The appeal of 118 118 lies in the way it helps people who lead busy lives and are time
poor who don't want to wait. This core audience are typically smartphones users from 25-
45 yrs. old looking for a service that saves time and solves issues for them every day.
Customers can call 118 118 and reach a helper in a couple of seconds without waiting, and
99% of the time get the correct answer, all within about a minute.
Customers calling 118 118 can also find out what's on at the local cinema or train
times at the nearest train or tube station and even be given directions to where they want
to go. If customers call from a mobile, they will receive a text with the numbers they
need for free, so they don't have to scramble for a pen and paper.
Peter Trott, General Manager of 118 118, added: "We think that our new mobile App
leads the way in the industry for mobile directory services at a highly affordable level
with a subscription based app that people are used to with their mobile operator. Â At 118
118 we pride ourselves on the quality of the service we deliver, so much so that if we
don't supply the right number, customers can have their money back. And we also offer
other cost-effective options to our 5 star premier service such as a GBP1 no frills one
search call on 118 811, an all free ad-funded service on 0800 1183773 or free search on
our website, http://www.118118.com." Â
The new campaign launches in the fourteenth anniversary year of the launch of 118 118,
made famous by the 70s style retro 118 118 runners and paves the way to revolutionise
directory enquiries services on the mobile platform at a price anyone can afford. Â
About 118 118Â
118 118 launched in 2002 and almost immediately became and remains the nation's
leading directory enquiry service.
Today, 118 118's fast, high accuracy service is called by more than 8 million people
every year for the numbers they want and the information they need. Apart from the 5 star
premier directory enquiries service on 118 118, the company offers a range of
cost-effective options, such as:
- A GBP1 no frills one search call on 118 811
- An all free ad-funded service on 0800 1183773
- Free search on the website, http://www.118118.com
- The new app for unlimited calls and connections for a fixed fee monthly subscription
In early January 2016, 118 118 donated GBP10,000 from its helpline to Shelter's
national telephone helpline, the only specialist housing advice line in Britain which
provides immediate assistance to anyone in urgent need of housing support.
Committed to innovation, the company continues to invest in new information services,
including texted answers, free directory search from http://www.118118.com and mobile
applications such as the soon to be launched 118 118 Unlimited App. Callers also enjoy the
benefits a wide range of additional information services, alternative listings and special
offers. The top 10 categories that callers asked for in 2015 were Hotels, Hospitals, Taxis,
Pubs / Inns / Bars, Local Government, Banks, Central Government, all Restaurants, Car
Dealers, Medical Practitioners and Therapists.
In 2015 118 218 L'appli pour appeler, the French mobile app, won a Silver Industry
Excellence Award at the first annual Awards from Search and Information Industry
Association (SIINDA) in 2015, one of the fastest growing non-profit media, digital and
voice associations based in Europe.

New solar tech Wysips(R) Reflect extends smartwatch battery life similar to analog
watchesÂ
Pavilion France - Hall 5 Stand 5B21Â
Sunpartner Technologies, expert in cutting-edge solar tech, returns to Mobile World

-> Sunpartner Unveils Wysips(R) Reflect: The Future of Smartwatches Â
In the fast-growing market for smartwatches, aesthetics and longer battery life are
crucial. Sunpartner's invisible solar solutions solve both those issues: Wysips(R) modules
are totally design neutral and extend smartwatch battery life by 30% to 50%.
To respond to market demands, the company has extended its range of products enabling
mobile devices, connected objects, and accessories to go anywhere by harnessing free
inexhaustible energy from the sun.
After Wysips(R) Crystal for emissive screens and Wysips(R) Graphics for textured
surfaces, this year at MWC Sunpartner will unveil Wysips(R) Reflect: an ultra-thin,
invisible photovoltaic component that can be embedded in all types of reflective screens
(LCDs in smart watches, electronic shelf tags...). Wysips(R) Reflect also works with
objects without a screen: analog watches (on the watch dial or the crystal), rear phone
casings, wearable tech and more.
A new solar smartwatch will be unveiled at MWC 2016 and a partnership will be
announced.
-> Watch Videos Streamed over Light Waves! Â Â
At Sunpartner's stand at MWC 2016, come and experience LiFi and watch streaming videos
over light! LiFi (Light Fidelity) is a wireless technology that transmits data over
visible light waves. Sunpartner's R&D has been working to increase the bandwidth speed of
its LiFi receiver so users can watch streaming videos. Since Wysips(R) technology is a
photovoltaic material, it can also act as a photodetector and receive data in the LiFi
chain. Several manufacturers are interested in this new tech so they can enhance user
experience.

New Training to Fuel the Autonomous Revolution

New Training to Fuel the Autonomous Revolution
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the less than distant future, your car may drive itself, but the infrastructure that communicates with your vehicle will require a staff of highly trained technicians. The supply of talented technicians able to maintain and support the technology required for the autonomous transportation network will be critical for society to take advantage of the numerous safety, social, and economic benefits of this incredible technology.
Expert technicians in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Connected Vehicle (CV) technology are in short supply and with the autonomous revolution advancing closer each day the demand is continually increasing.
Integrated Global Dimensions just completed Phase 1 of a US DOT Federal Highway Administration Small Business and Research Innovation grant, and is launching a new program called Transportation Tech. (http://transportationtech.com) This program will create the training necessary to fuel the educational needs of technicians to transform the way society moves.
-- Transportation Tech will be an online education program that will
feature multiple levels of training on ITS and CV Technology.
-- The training will be made available for technicians currently in the
field as well as promoted to community colleges and technical schools
across the country to increase the quantity of professionals in this
area.
-- Additional components of the program will include troubleshooting
forums, smart phone applications, and an extensive list of vendors and
consultants who provide ITS/CV support services and equipment.
"The education and professional development of technicians in the ITS and CV fields is pivotal to the future of transportation. Without the suitable education and training for technicians and ITS professionals, the technology advancements for vehicles and automation will not be deployed to the fullest extent in which our nation could benefit in terms of lives saved, accidents reduced, and economic gains," said Valerie Lefler, President and CEO of Integrated Global Dimensions.
Working in these advanced fields requires a basic knowledge of systems engineering, hardware, software, and networking. This combination of skills is not currently taught in any formal education program.
Mac Lister, USDOT ITS Joint Program Office Program Manager for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, federal lead on the project shared that, "I believe that Community Colleges have an important role to play in educating the future workforce in ITS and Connected Vehicle technologies. The workforce will need to address a wide and diverse set of skills. Community Colleges can and should make a significant contribution for the preparation of these future workers."
IGD has partnered with two of the top community colleges in the country to help design the training:
-- Metropolitan Community College, Omaha, Nebraska
-- Washtenaw Community College, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Metropolitan Community College plans to start promoting this training opportunity to students in their programs and in the programs of their respective partners around the country.
Dr. Tom Pensabene, Executive Director of the Workforce Innovation Division at Metropolitan Community College shares that, "As MCC moves to open its new Center for Advanced and Emerging Technology, we are excited to have intelligent transportation systems as our first new, leading-edge project. We are especially impressed with the quality of the team at IGD and look forward to developing efficient, effective and appealing technician training."
The need for an effective and accelerated training program for ITS and CV technicians has been boldly underscored by the Obama Administration's announcement of the allocation of nearly four billion dollars to the development and deployment of connected and autonomous vehicle technology.
"With the rapid rise of connected vehicles, I am delighted to have the Workforce Development Department at Washtenaw Community College play a leading role nationally in both assessing the skills gaps of vehicle to infrastructure technician and engineering jobs and developing state-of-the art online training programs that will address these skills gaps and prepare the 21st century workforce," says Dr. Michelle K. Mueller, Vice President of Economic, Community & College Development.

BEZALEL Empowers iPhone Users with Universal Wireless Charging

BEZALEL Empowers iPhone Users with Universal Wireless Charging
Latitude Dual-Mode (Qi and PMA) Case Makes the iPhone Compatible with Every Wireless Charger
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- After a very successful Kickstarter campaign and debut at CES, BEZALEL's first-of-its-kind universal charging solution for the iPhone is now available via Amazon and the Bezalel.co website.
The Latitude dual-mode (Qi and PMA) case enables iPhone users to power up using any wireless charger - regardless of charging standard.
"The iPhone is packed with great features, but wireless charging isn't one of them," said BEZALEL CEO and Co-Founder Frank Wu. "Our first-of-its-kind Latitude case lets iPhone users power up using any wireless charger, without having to pick sides in the war over competing charging standards."
Wu went on to explain that the war between Qi and PMA is similar to iconic battles such as VHS vs. Betamax and Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD, except that wireless charging impacts far more consumers given the proliferation and daily use of smartphones. Companies backing the Qi standard include McDonald's, Samsung, Toyota/Lexus and IKEA. Those backing the PMA standard include Starbucks, Delta Airlines, Google and AT&T.
"Wireless charging is all about convenience, and there's nothing convenient about being unable to power up because your mobile device is incompatible with the nearest wireless charger," he added. "While the standards war won't be resolved anytime soon, we've found a way to settle it now for iPhone users. BEZALEL is like Switzerland in the battle between Qi and PMA."
The Latitude case is available in black or white for iPhone 6/6s ($49.90) and 6 Plus/6s Plus ($59.90). It is constructed of advanced polycarbonate, and includes a flexible, super-durable Lightning cable connector that lets users charge and synch their iPhone easily the old-fashioned way (via a standard Lightning cable).
"There's irony inherent in the fact that most people power up their 'wireless' devices via a power cord," said Wu. "At BEZALEL we're determined to change that."

About BEZALEL
Los Angeles-based BEZALEL was founded in 2013 to design and manufacture wireless charging technology that lets mobile device users ditch the power cord, both at home and on-the-go. After completing the USC Viterbi School of Engineering's renowned Start-Up Garage incubator program, the company conducted an initial Kickstarter campaign named one of the Top 10 of 2014. Its debut products include the Prelude fully-mobile (i.e., rechargeable) wireless charger, and the Latitude first-of-its-kind dual-mode (Qi and PMA) wireless charging case for the iPhone.

Bang & Olufsen launches BeoLink SmartHome at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2016

Posted on February 4, 2016 at 11:35:01 AM
Bang & Olufsen launches BeoLink SmartHome at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2016
Bang & Olufsen has chosen ISE in Amsterdam, the world's best attended AV, System Integration and Communication exhibition, as the platform for launching a new and innovative way of connecting Bang & Olufsen products with all other technology products in the home through an open, cloud-based architecture called BeoLink SmartHome.
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Systems Europe - The BeoLink SmartHome solution allows the user to connect Bang & Olufsen products with other technology products in the home and offers full integration with some of the largest home integrators such as Crestron, Control4 and Savant.
CEO & President Tue Mantoni says: "In the development of the BeoLink SmartHome the key words for us were openness and flexibility. Bang & Olufsen is the global leader in creating high quality, innovative and beautiful sound and picture experiences and our dream was to integrate these experiences with other in-home technology solutions through a simple, cloud-based system. That is exactly what BeoLink SmartHome is doing."
One of Bang & Olufsen's signature experiences is that a user can control all Bang & Olufsen TV and audio systems and third-party products such as e.g. Apple TV, Blu-ray players and game consoles with one beautiful and intuitive Bang & Olufsen remote control. These experiences are now further extended with the BeoLink SmartHome, where a multitude of technologies can be integrated through a secure remote, cloud-based connection enabling a simple, intuitive control of hundreds of third-party devices and home automation systems.
CEO & President Tue Mantoni says: "The IoT is a catalyst for creating smart, integrated experiences in the home and with BeoLink SmartHome we create the future of living. BeoLink SmartHome allows the user to control lights, curtains, room temperature, alarm systems and other everyday home-based technologies in the simple and intuitive way that Bang & Olufsen has become known for."
New technologies and providers are continuously added. Recently, Nest security systems, thermostats, smoke detectors and Amazon Echo were included in the solution. The latter allows for performing voice-controlled commands. BeoLink SmartHome settings are changed and controlled using the Bang & Olufsen BeoRemote or BeoLink App.
"IFTTT enabled Internet of Things (IoT)
Bang & Olufsen is among the first audio-video companies to offer an IFTTT-enabled channel in the Internet of Things (IoT) world. IFTTT (short for "If This Then That") allows users to create chains of simple conditional commands.
Head of Bang & Olufsen System Solutions Brian Bjørn Hansen states: "IFTTT provides Bang & Olufsen customers with intelligent and flexible options for programming their homes and combining products and services that are not at the outset directly connected to one another. An example could be 'when the sun rises, turn up the lights in the bedroom and start playing music from a pre-defined playlist on your BeoSound 35' or send a text message to 'turn off all your BeoLink products' to make sure the kids are studying and not watching TV."
Bang & Olufsen has 30 years of experience with system integration in the analogue world and has continuously refined its approach to design, functionality and unique user experiences. BeoLink SmartHome takes this unique experience into an IoT world by leveraging new technology, cloud-based solutions and the fast growth of home integrators.
The set-up and configuration have been radically simplified in the BeoLink SmartHome compared to market standards. The Bang & Olufsen Real-time Configuration Tool is pre-installed with hundreds of drivers and is based on a simple graphic interface to take the coding out of home automation programming. What normally takes days now takes hours, and is far easier than any other system to set up, modify and update.
Cloud services providing a secure remote connection dedicated to Bang & Olufsen solutions allow custom installers extreme flexibility when upgrading or servicing existing setups from a remote location. In this way, customers will get new features or services quickly and without hassle.
BeoLink SmartHome is enabled through the BeoLink Gateway, which is available in Bang & Olufsen approved retailers at a recommended retail price of EUR1,295/£1,095/DKK 9,995. Bang & Olufsen retailers and approved custom technology integrators provide design and installation services for projects and solutions of all types and sizes. For a complete list of retailers and installers, please visit Bang-Olufsen.com.
Bang & Olufsen is present at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2016 in Amsterdam from 9-12 February 2016 in Hall 5 on Stand R80 and will be demonstrating the BeoLink SmartHome to press, installers, integrators and consumers. Amongst other scenarios, Bang & Olufsen demonstrates how BeoLink SmartHome can combine BeoLink products with different smart devices and how this can be used in an everyday user scenario. At ISE, Bang & Olufsen will also present BeoLab 90, the most innovative and radical loudspeaker solution to date, and BeoSound 35, the all-in-one multi-room music system.
Bang & Olufsen was founded in Struer, Denmark, in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, two innovative, young engineers devoted to high quality audio reproduction. Since then, the brand has become an icon of performance and design excellence through its long-standing craftsmanship tradition and the strongest possible commitment to high-tech research and development.
Still at the forefront of domestic technology, Bang & Olufsen has extended its comprehensive experience with integrated audio and video solutions for the home to other areas such as the hospitality and automotive industries in recent years. Consequently, its current product range epitomizes seamless media experiences in the home as well as in the car and on the move.

LG Opens Chicago Business Innovation Center, Launches 86-Inch 'Ultra Stretch' Commercial Display
Cutting-Edge Facility Connects Integrators, Customers and Executives to Most Advanced Commercial Technology in Immersive, Interactive Setting
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA celebrated the opening of its new Chicago Business Innovation Center, a comprehensive technology hub and educational center for LG's commercial displays and business solutions in the United States. Located within the U.S. headquarters for LG Business Solutions in Lincolnshire, Ill., the new LG Business Innovation Center is among the first in a series of innovation center openings in major cities across the globe.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160203/329584
The new center will give business owners, integrators and contractors a chance to engage and learn about how LG's leading line of commercial solutions can contribute to an increased bottom line. As its customer base continues to grow, LG is committed to offering a state-of-the-art training center to ensure brand representatives are providing the most informed and smart solutions for business owners today.
In conjunction with the facility's grand opening, LG Business Solutions launched an innovative new digital signage format, the 86-inch LG Ultra Stretch Signage display, optimized for dynamic digital content display.
"The Business Innovation Center exemplifies LG's commitment to 'innovation for a better business' in the U.S. commercial market," said William Cho, president and CEO, LG Electronics USA. "In addition to showcasing LG's extensive portfolio of innovative solutions across various vertical markets - including the all-new Ultra Stretch Signage display - this center will provide the ideal venue in the heartland of America for LG to hold training sessions and executive briefings for current and future customers, further expanding our B2B footprint in the U.S."
The LG Business Innovation Center will feature various industry zones that bring LG's commercial solutions to life in a real-life application setting. These include display solutions for Retail and Quick-Serve Restaurant (QSR), Hospitality, VIP and Healthcare zones, as well as commercial energy and air solutions.
Retail & QSR Zones: Showcasing Ultra HD Signage Displays
The LG Business Innovation Center will showcase large and small-format LG commercial displays that are essential for the retail space, given their ability to showcase content with superior resolution, excellent picture quality and the webOS for Signage smart platform. LG's offerings include in-demand 4K resolution for superior picture quality - with In Plane Switching (IPS) technology that produces accurate and consistent colors from any viewing angle - as well as seamless connectivity that can easily be customized across each business.
LG's newest launch, the Ultra Stretch Signage 86BH5C, is a new 86-inch ultra-wide digital signage screen - with an incredible 58:9 aspect ratio - that can display dynamic content depending on the user's installation environment and can even double as digital décor. With immersive 4K Ultra HD resolution and a useful Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature - which allows the user to divide the long, rectangular screen into four parts in landscape or portrait installations - empowers the integrator to customize the screen to maximize content. With the LG SuperSign media editor, integrators are able to easily edit images or video clips of original content without the need for any additional editing programs - resulting in a seamless process for displaying and communicating content. For an immersive viewing experience in retail stores and banks, the Ultra Stretch Signage 86BH5C can also be valuable in airports, subways or even art galleries.
In addition to the interactive features of the Ultra Stretch Signage 86BH5C, LG offers additional products with the highest resolution technology available to enhance the quality of visual communication at a never-before-seen level. The Retail Zone's flagship products include LG's largest 4K UHD digital signage display, the 98-inch class (98.0 inches measured diagonally) 98LS95A, which showcases vivid images with superior brightness and an incredible level of detail - four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD displays. Also showcased is LG's all-new Direct LED Video Wall VH7B featuring an ultra-slim bezel - 0.9 mm - which is ideal for retail stores that require a giant-screen commercial installation that can communicate information in a clear and immersive manner.
Hospitality & VIP Zones: Featuring the Latest Hotel Technologies
LG's industry-leading guest-centric display solutions are nestled in the hospitality and VIP zone, which boasts a portfolio of products specifically designed for the hospitality space including commercial 4K Ultra HD hotel TVs enhanced with LG's Pro:Centric® interactive TV platform and the Pro:Idiom digital rights management system. Complementing its ENERGY STAR® certified in-room solutions, LG offers a range of displays suited for public spaces within the hotel such as lobbies, meeting spaces and restaurants. LG's digital signage and video wall displays offers a visually stunning communication platform that is easily installed, managed and maintained. Another highlight of the Hospitality Zone is the LG Styler, a unique clothing management system designed to steam and refresh clothing at the touch of a button, ideal for hotel suites and club lounges.

The Smart Healthcare Zone features LG's interactive healthcare TVs with in-room applications for patient monitoring, wayfinding and educational information. LG develops products with the goal to streamline processes for medical practitioners and foster positive patient experience within the healthcare industry, including hospitals and medical centers, as well as long-term care and assisted living facilities.
Outdoor Signage Zone: Introducing Rugged Al Fresco Displays
Gracing the entrance to the LG Business Innovation Center is a prime example of unique new outdoor digital signage displays developed by the groundbreaking LG-MRI strategic alliance. These high-brightness displays based on LG's IPS (in-plane switching) technology - such as the 84-inch portrait-mounted LED/LCD model in Lincolnshire - are designed to withstand the harsh Chicagoland weather and provide a new level of performance and energy efficiency.
Energy Solutions Zone: Demonstrating Broad Capabilities
While its main focus is on commercial displays, including many ENERGY STAR certified models, the Chicago LG Business Innovation Center also showcases energy solutions for green buildings, featuring industry-leading LG technologies in commercial air conditioning, solar panels and LED lighting. Technologies on display include LG's Multi V IV variable refrigerant flow system for commercial installations, the award-winning Art Cool Gallery for residential applications and P-TAC units for the lodging industry. LG renewable energy technology is exemplified by the new high-performance Mono X NeON 2 solar modules, while LG's super-efficient 2x2 LED lighting troffers illuminate the entire facility.
"Visitors to the LG Business Innovation Center will have an opportunity to experience firsthand the breadth and depth of LG's expansive business-to-business solutions," said Kimun Paik, senior vice president, business solutions, and head of LG Electronics USA's commercial display business. "LG's commercial display solutions are developed with the end-user at the forefront, and this new center will help customers see how implementing digital signage is a vital business solution and smart investment."
In addition to the new Chicago LG Business Innovation Center in Lincolnshire, Ill., LG Electronics USA also just opened the Atlanta LG Business Innovation Center within its newly-expanded U.S. Air Conditioning Systems Headquarters in Alpharetta, Ga. These LG centers are the first of their kind in the United States and two of only nine such centers around the world. Other locations are in Amsterdam; London; Sao Paulo; Moscow; Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

XCOM 2 Ready For Pre-load Now on Green Man Gaming

XCOM 2 Ready For Pre-load Now on Green Man Gaming
LONDON, February 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Both Regular and Digital Deluxe versions of XCOM 2 available at discount on Green Man
Gaming
Green Man Gaming has announced that it has added XCOM 2 to its catalogue, and will be
offering exclusive discounts on both the regular and Digital Deluxe editions of the game.
Currently selling both the standard and the Digital Deluxe edition, which also includes
the Day-One Reinforcement Pack DLC, and the full game soundtrack. Included in all
pre-purchases is also the Resistance Pack, as well as the ability to pre-load.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160204/329676 )
Offerwise, Green Man Gaming is running two offers at this time. In North America it's
possible to use a 23% voucher (XXCOM2-DIGDUL-23PERC ) on the Deluxe edition of XCOM 2.
Around the rest of the world, using the voucher GREENM-ANGAME-25PJAN would provide a 25%
discount on both editions of the game. More information on this can be found by contacting
john.wright@greenmangaming.com , the affiliate manager at Green Man Gaming.
Exclusive to Green Man Gaming is coverage by Matt Gardner, who has recorded exclusive
hands-on content for the game, as well as an interview with Lead Producer Garth DeAngelis.
This coverage highlights the game's improvements and gameplay, as well as goes into
discussion about the development of the game. Additionally, Green Man Gaming is offering
the ability to preload the game, meaning that when X COM 2 is unlocked at 5am GMT on the
25th, users will be able to play the game immediately.
Set in a world where the aliens won in X COM: Enemy Unknown, X COM 2 puts players in
the role of a new X COM, consisting of guerrillas that use hit and run tactics to
destabilise the new world government, known as ADVENT. As with any new iteration in a
series, X COM 2 is adding a bunch of new content to the series, including new enemies,
classes and weapons. Base-building and character customisation have been overhauled to
provide an unprecedented level of personalisation in the series, as well as a whole new
stealth system being added, which allows players to properly play the role of a guerrilla
force, as seen in the gameplay trailer itself:
https://youtu.be/j0qHZG1-rEg
Developed by Firaxis, the team behind the much-loved "Civilization" series, and
published by 2k, X COM: Enemy Unknown was released in 2012 to great acclaim. Critics and
gamers alike praised the game for its punishing difficulty, rewarding combat and near
unlimited replayability. A title that released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, X COM: Enemy
Unknown bought the once-niche tactical combat into the mainstream eye, with over three
million gamers owning the title on Steam at this time, which of course doesn't include
console sales.
When XCOM: Enemy Within launched a year later in 2013, it was clear that Firaxis had
taken feedback to heart, on what worked and what didn't work in the original release.
Filled with bug fixes and quality of life improvements, it was clearly showed how Firaxis
learnt from feedback and criticism at the original release. Adding in the ability to
genetically and physically modify your character's, XCOM: Enemy Within also explores
trans-humanism, which is a more and more commonplace theme in modern video gaming.
Now, with XCOM 2, it's clear that they've done even more of just this. Abandoning
console releases, and making XCOM 2 a PC exclusive, Firaxis are now able to focus on
making the best game they can as they're able to take the full power of the PC on board,
which allows them to provide much improved graphical fidelity and modability through the
Steam Workshop, as well as the ability to focus entirely on creating the best experience
possible for the platform.

MARVEL Avengers Academy will be an adventure of an entirely new variety that will appeal to both core and casual Marvel fans alike.
Featuring all of the world-famous Avengers characters such as Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Vision, Falcon, Ant-Man, War Machine, Winter Soldier and Iron Man, the full roster of MARVEL Avengers Academy will also introduce players to longtime fan favorites such as Spider-Woman, Tigra, the Enchantress, and Taskmaster, as well as rising stars such as Black Panther, Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Ms. Marvel.
To build upon this fresh new Avengers experience, TinyCo has tapped some of the biggest names in entertainment to lend their voices to these iconic characters. Whether its watching the Hulk (voiced by John Cena) smash through homework, joining the entourage of suave Tony Stark (Dave Franco), or joining cynical rebel spy Black Widow (Alison Brie) on secret missions, you'll be taking part in all new adventures developed by an experienced team of artists and writers working in conjunction with Marvel to create a brand new twist on the Avengers universe. Among others that are lending their voice to cast of Avengers students are Priyanka Chopra (Ms. Marvel), A$AP Rocky (Falcon), Alexandra Daddario (Wasp), Colton Haynes (Thor), Bella Thorne (Tigra), Kiernan Shipka (Spider-Woman), and more.
"Whether you're voting Cap for class president, fan-girling out with Ms. Marvel, or going on a date with Loki, you're going to have a blast at MARVEL Avengers Academy. By embracing everything we all love about Earth's Mightiest Heroes and giving them a fresh spin, we've reimagined fan and cult faves alike as powerful and complex young adults with that magic mix of action, drama and romance that is Marvel," said Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games Creative Director. "By digging deep into the Marvel vault to celebrate all things Avengers, we've created an exciting, mysterious and vibrant campus, complete with an ever-expanding roster of students, faculty, backstory and secrets.

DVIGear Shows Game-Changing DisplayNet(TM) Platform at ISE 2016
AV-Over-10GbE Products Revolutionize AV Distribution Technology
MARIETTA, Ga., Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DVIGear, a leading manufacturer of digital connectivity products, is exhibiting the game-changing DisplayNet(TM) AV-Over-10GbE distribution platform at ISE16 in Amsterdam, NL on February 9-12 at Stand 1-N30. DVIGear is also demonstrating its comprehensive suite of end-to-end 4K (UHD) video distribution solutions at the show.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160203/329206
DisplayNet(TM): AV Connectivity - Redefined
DisplayNet(TM) is an entirely new concept for AV distribution that leverages proven 10GbE Ethernet technology to switch, extend and distribute uncompressed AV signals in real time with resolutions up to 4K (UHD). DisplayNet(TM) delivers unprecedented levels of scalability, versatility and reliability with zero frame latency, zero compression and zero artifacts.
For almost a decade, AV systems have been designed primarily around proprietary AV matrix switchers. While this technology has driven a wide range of innovations, there have been several drawbacks. Proprietary matrix switchers are expensive, they provide limited flexibility and scalability, and they require costly specialized support. Now, system designers and integrators can use DisplayNet(TM) to effortlessly distribute AV signals using standard off-the-shelf 10GbE Ethernet network switches. DisplayNet(TM) supports a wide range of applications including point-to-point Extension, limitless Matrix Switching, Video Wall Display and MultiViewer*.
DisplayNet(TM) leverages decades of proven networking technology and massive global deployment of 10GbE networks. This eliminates the need for costly, redundant AV networks as all AV assets can now reside on existing IT networks that IT Managers can easily control. 10GbE network switches can also be up to 60% smaller than typical AV switches and as little as 1/10th the cost. At the same time, DisplayNet(TM) provides enormous scalability - the system array is limited only by the number of installed endpoints and size (ports) of the 10GbE switch.
DisplayNet(TM) at ISE 2016
At ISE 2016 in Amsterdam, NL, DVIGear will exhibit DisplayNet(TM) at Stand 1-N30. The DN-100 Series transmitter accepts multiple signals such as HDMI (with embedded audio and HDCP), analog stereo audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232, and GbE Ethernet and transmits them over a 10GbE link up to 328 ft. (100 meters) using a single CAT6a or CAT7 cable. This link is then distributed via a network switch to the receiver unit, which provides all the signals for output at the destination.
The DN-100 Series supports uncompressed video up to 4K /30p (4:4:4) and 4K /60p (4:2:0) with zero artifacts and zero frame latency. Video signals may be simultaneously routed in Point-to-Point, Matrix Switching and Video Wall modes all in the same system. For more flexibility, each signal type (Video, Audio, IR, RS-232, etc.) can be routed independently. Other advanced features such as audio embedding and de-embedding are also supported. The DN-100 Series includes powerful DisplayNet(TM) Management Software and External API Server to enable these units to be deeply and easily integrated into new or existing systems. The DN-100 Series transmitters and receivers are shipping now.
The next generation of DisplayNet(TM) technology will also be on display at the show. The DN-110 and DN-120 Series provide all the features of the DN-100 plus support for Full-Speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps.) as well as signal extension over fiber optic media. The next generation units will begin shipping in May 2016. DVIGear will also show future DisplayNet(TM) technology including support for HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, as well as internal scaling. Scaling in the transmitter will enable MultiViewer applications, and scaling in the receiver will enable more robust Video Wall capabilities as well as seamless switching regardless of input resolution. DisplayNet(TM) products are available starting at $995 (USD) MSRP per end point.
Comprehensive Range of 4K Distribution Solutions
At ISE 2016, DVIGear is also exhibiting a complete range of 4K video distribution solutions such as switcher/scalers, long-reach copper cables, CAT-X twisted pair extenders, and fiber optic extenders. These products are all designed and built to overcome the challenges of transporting signals at the high data rates required by 4K video. The following two new products are featured among those at the show.
The DVI-3580a 4K MultiViewer Switcher / Scaler supports switching, scaling and MultiViewing of video signals at resolutions up to 4K. This high-performance, low-cost unit includes 4x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, and 1x VGA/Component inputs as well as 1x HDMI and 1x optional HDBaseT(TM) output. Four user-selectable windowing modes are available. The unit can be managed using a powerful range of control features such as RS-232, front panel selections, IR remote control, and LAN (telnet or built-in highly intuitive Web GUI). It also supports other advanced features such as audio embedding and de-embedding, as well as EDID management capabilities all at $2,095 (USD) MSRP.
The DVI-7340 4K MultiPort Fiber Optic Extender supports HDMI 1.4 (or DVI) with or without HDCP, RS-232, bidirectional IR, 10/100 Ethernet and Balanced or Unbalanced Audio over a single Multi-Mode or Single-Mode optical fiber. The standard version of this extender pair features 1x LC connection. However, it includes an option to substitute an ST connector, which is preferred for some applications. It supports extension of resolutions up to 4K /30p over lengths of up to 1,000 ft. / 300 m (MM) and 0.6 mi. / 1 km (SM) with HDCP and includes EDID management for ease of install and support. The DVI-7340 delivers a comprehensive suite of connectivity while maintaining a low-cost and is ideal for mission-critical environments such as rental and staging applications. The DVI-7340 will begin shipping in April 2016 at $1,350 (USD) MSRP per set.

SMI's eye tracking glasses are proven with more than 100,000 participants in leading
universities around the world. First launched in 2011, the eye tracking glasses technology

The key features of the new package are -
Native binocular 120 Hz eye tracking over the whole trackable field of view. The main
benefit is enhanced eye tracking raw data wherever the wearer of the glasses is looking.
More precise event detection. The higher temporal resolution of the data samples helps
to better distinguish events such as very short fixations.
Low latency network time synchronization. For millisecond precise data synchronization
with EEG, motion tracking, virtual reality, and other data streams.
The upgrade package has been welcomed by leading academics including Prof. Dr. Thierry
Baccino of France's Lutin User Lab, who said SMI glasses have been the "best solution" for
his applied studies in real-life situations.
"We highly welcome a 120 Hz mode as we expect it to deliver even more precision for
saccades detection," he said.
Jun Wu of China's Jiangsu University of Science and Technology said "the 120 Hz ETG
offers an outstanding advantage especially for my work with high-speed driving
applications in the industrial engineering field".
The better synchronization with other data streams was an aspect welcomed by Dr Thies
Pfeiffer of CITEC at the University of Bielefeld, Germany, who works with motion tracking
systems such as VICON and OptiTrack.
"SMI's release has the potential to significantly advance our research on gaze-based
assistance systems. We expect a more precise differentiation of viewing time as 120Hz
promises a better temporal fit and low latency synchronization with our motion tracking
systems," he said.
SMI Product Manager Dr Arnd Rose said he was pleased the reception the upgrade package
is set to receive within the scientific market.
"We identified the need for this product based on our long-term relationships with
leading academic researchers and, in meeting that need, our team has set a new scientific
standard," he said. Â

Sony Launches New G Master(TM) Brand of Interchangeable Lenses
Three new models including 24-70mm F2.8 Zoom, 85mm F1.4 Prime and 70-200mm F2.8 Zoom deliver unrivaled imaging experiences
NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging and the world's largest image sensor manufacturer, has today introduced their flagship G Master(TM) brand of interchangeable lenses.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160203/329159
Sony's new brand includes three new E-mount full frame lenses including a 24-70mm constant F2.8 standard zoom, an 85mm F1.4 prime and a 70-200mm constant F2.8 telephoto zoom. Representing the ultimate blend of high resolution and beautiful bokeh, the new lenses feature Sony's innovative optical element technology, design and calibration. This allows them to produce still image and video content with a level of detail and expression that has never before been possible.
"The new G Master brand represents the finest and most impressive group of lenses that Sony has ever brought to market," said Neal Manowitz, Vice President of Digital Imaging at Sony Electronics. "With our knowledge of what the future will bring for digital imaging, we have designed these lenses and can ensure that the G Master brand will inspire and 'wow' photographers and videographers for years to come."
New FE24-70mm F2.8 GM Standard Zoom Lens
Featuring some of the most advanced lens technologies in market today, the new FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM (model SEL2470GM) is the ultimate choice for those seeking the highest possible optical performance for portrait, travel and event photography or even simple everyday shooting(1).
The new lens is built with three aspherical elements including a newly developed, extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) element that reduces aberration and delivers the ultimate resolution throughout the entire zoom range and aperture range, as well as from corner to corner of all image files. Additionally, an ED (Extra-low-Dispersion) glass element and Super ED glass element keep chromatic aberration to a minimum while maximizing resolution and bokeh without any unnatural coloration.
The lens features a 9-bladed aperture that maintains a near circular shape at all settings and is coated with Sony's original Nano AR coating to suppress reflections and ensure spectacular contrast and clarity.
The new FE24-70mm F2.8 GM lens has a direct drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) focusing system that works with incredible efficiency thanks to a new set of algorithms that positions the lens elements quickly and accurately. The motor is smooth and quiet, making it an ideal choice for shooting both still images as well as movies.
To maximize usability, the lens is dust and moisture resistant and features a compact, streamlined design that includes AF/MF switch as well as focus hold, zoom lock and hood release buttons.
Two new matching filters for the FE24-70mm F2.8 GM lens have also been introduced, including the VF-82MP MC protector and VF-82CPAM Circular PL filter.
New FE 85mm F1.4 GM Telephoto Prime Lens
Designed as the ultimate portrait lens, the long-awaited new FE 85mm F1.4 GM telephoto prime lens (model SEL85F14GM) strikes a perfect balance between resolution and bokeh in a compact package.
The lens features a new XA (extreme aspherical) element as well as three ED glass elements that work together to ensure that the in-focus areas are captured in extremely high resolution while the surrounding out-of-focus areas dissolve smoothly into a beautiful soft backdrop. It has a circular aperture with 11 blades - the most ever used in an lens - that ensures bokeh is smooth and visually appealing. Externally, the new model has Sony's original Nano AR Coating, which is of particular importance in a portrait lens as it reduces flare and ghosting, even with backlit subjects or similarly challenging lighting conditions.
For accurate autofocusing, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM lens includes a ring drive SSM motor system that provides ample power and speed to drive the lens' large, heavy focus group. It's also equipped with two position sensors to support flawless focus control of the large, heavy lens elements.
This new professional portrait lens is dust and moisture resistant and also has an aperture ring with on/off switchable click stops that can be adjusted based on whether a user is shooting still images or movies. It also has an AF / MF switch and a focus hold button(2).
New FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS Telephoto Zoom
Covering the frequently used 70-200mm focal range, the new FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS telephoto zoom lens (model SEL70200GM) offers extremely high rendering, AF performance and image stabilization, making it a versatile choice for shooting wildlife, sports, weddings and a variety of other events and locations(1).
The new flagship telephoto zoom model delivers extraordinary sharpness and clarity throughout the entirety of its zoom range thanks to its three advanced lens elements including XA, Super ED and ED glass components, as well as its Nano AR coating.
The new FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS lens features a floating focusing system - implemented in an zoom lens for the first time - that contributes to an impressive minimum focusing distance of merely 0.96m and ensures AF performance is optimized during both still and video shooting. The lens includes a SSM (Super Sonic Motor) plus dual linear motors that work together to move large lens elements quickly - a task that requires a high level of drive control and ensures focus accuracy. The new model also has built in Optical SteadyShot(TM) image stabilization for capturing sharp, blur-free subjects at all focal lengths and a rotating tripod mount that allows the camera to be quickly removed from a connected tripod as needed.
The new 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens is dust and moisture resistant with an additional fluorine coating added to the front lens. It also has a focus hold button as well as a focal range limiter.
Sony has also announced new compact 1.4x and 2x Teleconverters - models SEL14TC and SEL20TC respectively - that offer even greater reach while maintaining the overall streamlined design and feel of the 70-200mm lens.(3)
Pricing and Availability
The new FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM Standard Zoom and 85mm F1.4 GM Telephoto prime lenses will be available in March for about $2,200 and $1,800, respectively. In Canada, they will be sold for $2,900 CA and $2,400 CA, respectively.
The new 70-200mm F2.8 GM Telephoto Zoom Lens and its compatible 1.4x and 2x Teleconverters will be available in May. Pricing is not yet available for these models.
The new G Master Series of interchangeable lenses will be sold at a variety of Sony authorized dealers throughout North America.

Sony Introduces New a6300 Camera with World's Fastest Autofocus
New Mirrorless Camera Features World's Fastest AF speed1 and Highest Number of AF points2 plus Newly Developed 24.2 MP APS-C Sensor, High Resolution 4K video recording and more
NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging and the world's largest image sensor manufacturer, has today introduced the latest addition to their award winning lineup of mirrorless cameras, the 6300 model.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160203/329160
The camera boasts an unrivaled 4D FOCUS(TM) system that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds, the world's fastest AF acquisition time(1). Additionally, the 6300 has an incredible 425 phase detection AF points that are densely positioned over the entire image area - the world's highest number of AF points on any interchangeable lens camera(2), and can shoot images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking.
The impressive new mirrorless model also has the ability to support full live-view continuous shooting on the Tru-finder or LCD screen at up to 8 frames per second, ultimately producing a real-time shooting experience that combines all the benefits of an electronic viewfinder with the immediacy of a through-the-lens optical viewfinder.
The versatile 6300 is equipped with a newly developed 24.2 MP (approx.. effective) APS-C sized Exmor CMOS sensor that works together with a BIONZ X image processing engine to produce outstanding image quality throughout the entire ISO sensitivity range ISO 100 - 51200( 3). It can also shoot and record high resolution 4K video with full pixel readout and no pixel binning in the popular Super 35mm format.
"The 6300 is yet another example of the dominant innovation that Sony continues to bring to the industry, especially from the mirrorless space," said Neal Manowitz, Vice President of Digital Imaging at Sony Electronics. "With this new model, we've combined the world's fastest and most extensive AF system with a superb image sensor and many of our most advanced imaging and video technologies, creating a package that can far exceed the performance of any DSLR in its class. This camera connects you with the action like never before."
Unrivaled AF Performance
Sony's new 6300 camera builds upon the acclaimed 4D FOCUS performance of the 6000 model, utilizing a Fast Hybrid AF system that combines high-speed phase detection AF with extremely accurate contrast AF and allows it to capture and lock on to moving subjects in as little as 0.05 seconds(1). The camera's High-density Tracking AF technology positions 425 phase detection AF points over nearly the entire field of view, allowing it to accurately focus throughout a wide area - even on small, fast objects that other cameras would fail to recognize.
In addition to the extensive AF coverage, the 6300 debuts a new High-density tracking AF technology that significantly improves subject detection and tracking performance. This new technology can quickly activate a large number of AF points surrounding a subject - approximately 7.5 times more density than the 6000 - and intelligently adjust them in accordance with the subject's motion. This is a particularly powerful feature when used with high-speed 11 fps continuous shooting or the new 8 fps continuous live-view mode, which provides 100% accurate framing for fast moving subjects on the LCD screen or viewfinder.
Of note is the fact that the camera's 425 phase detection AF points, enhanced tracking and focus accuracy are all available on the 6300 when using A-mount lenses(4) with a mount adaptor like the Sony LA-EA3. This is a first for Sony E-mount interchangeable lens cameras with an APS-C sized sensor, as the only other cameras to feature this capability are the full-frame 7R II and 7 II models.
Other enhancements to the 6300 include silent shooting functionality the ability to use AF in focus magnifier mode, expanded flexible spot AF, Eye AF in AF-C mode and more.
Powerful 24.2 MP Exmor CMOS Sensor and BIONZ X Processor
In order to maximize efficiency and overall camera performance, the 6300 features a new 24.2 MP sensor that is an ideal match for its BIONZ X image processing engine.
The new image sensor employs copper wiring in its structure, which improves light collection efficiency and significantly accelerates readout speed. The BIONZ X processor features an upgraded image processing algorithm designed to maximize the sensor's overall capabilities. Together, the two key components work together to produce images with low noise and exceptional resolution in sensitivity settings up to ISO51200(3), in particular in the mid-to-high sensitivity range.
Ultimate 4K Resolution and Other Professional Video Capabilities
In another first for non-full-frame Sony interchangeable lens camera, the new 6300 offers internal 4K movie recording in Super 35mm format. When shooting in 4K, the camera uses full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect 20 megapixels of information - approximately 2.4x(5) (6K equivalent) as many pixels as 4K UHD and then oversamples the information to produce high quality footage with exceptional detail and depth.
The camera utilizes the XAVC S codec(6) during video shooting, which records at a high bit rate of 100 Mbps(7) during 4K recording and 50 Mbps during standard Full HD shooting, ensuring maximum detail and clarity in both video formats. Additionally, the camera will focus approximately twice as fast as its predecessor during movie shooting thanks to its new and improved AF system. AF speed and AF tracking sensitivity are also adjustable for expanded creativity.
Other professional caliber video features include the ability to record Full HD at 120 fps at 100 Mbps(7), another first for interchangeable lens cameras with APS-C sized sensors. This mode allows footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow motion video files in Full HD(8) (24p or 30p) resolution with AF tracking. The new 6300 also offers S-Log gamma recording(9) for wide dynamic range shooting - approximately 14-stop latitude in S-Log3 gamma setting - and supports S-Gamut for a wider color space. Both options allow for greater creativity for processing video post-production.
Also included on the new camera is a microphone line input that accepts external microphones and also supports XLR input with Sony's XLR adapter kit, as well as Gamma Display Assist, a new function that allows users to monitor images or check focus when recording S-Log movies. The new model has enhanced Zebra functionality for greater exposure control. Picture profile settings are available, as well as Time Code / User Bit and much more.
Enhanced Operability and Ergonomics
The 6300 camera is equipped with a high contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder with approximately 2.4 million dots that offers exceptional corner-to-corner visibility. There is also a new mode available for the viewfinder that allows display of images at 120 fps, ensuring that action is displayed smoothly with very few afterimages, making subject tracking through the Tru-finder easier than ever.
Aesthetically, the new 6300 camera features an extremely solid feel in hand thanks to its robust, magnesium alloy design. It can be customized to fit nearly any shooting style or preferences, with 9 customizable buttons that one of 64 different functions can be assigned to. The camera adds a digital level gauge as well as upgraded dust and moisture resistance(10), a reinforced lens mount structure and a new shutter release button and mode dial with improved operability and grip.
The new 6300 camera is Wi-Fi(®) and NFC compatible and fully functional with Sony's PlayMemories Mobile(TM) application available for Android((TM)) and iOS platforms, as well as Sony's growing range of PlayMemories Camera Apps(TM), which add a variety of creative capabilities to the camera. It also supports QR code for easy connection to non-NFC smart phones.
Pricing and Availability
The Sony 6300 interchangeable lens camera will be available in March for about $1,000 for the camera body or for about $1,150 paired with a 16-50mm F3.5 - F5.6 kit lens (model SELP1650). Prices for the Canadian market will be about $1,350 CA for the body and about $1,500 CA for the camera kit. It will be sold at a variety of Sony authorized dealers throughout each region.
The 6300 is compatible with Sony's growing lineup of lenses including the new premium G Master(TM) lenses also announced today.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Doppler Labs today announced the first shipment of the Here Active Listening System(TM), the first in-ear audio system that uses two wireless buds and a smart phone app to let users instantly control and personalize their live audio environment. With initial production limited to 10,000 units plus an exclusive offer for Coachella attendees, recipients of the first run of Here buds will include artists, musicians, partners, investors and the Kickstarter community.

To celebrate this launch, Doppler Labs co-hosted an intimate "Sound Experience" in Santa Monica with Remote Control Productions, the film score company run by veteran composer Hans Zimmer. Introduced by Mr. Zimmer, musicians, including Charles Yang, Michael Thurber, Mike Einzinger of Incubus, and Vulpeck, curated a live performance for Doppler Labs partners and investors that matched live music with specific Here features to demonstrate how audio augmented reality (AAR) can enhance any live listening experience.
News of the first shipment follows Doppler Labs' recent announcement of their exclusive partnership with Goldenvoice, which will integrate the Here Active Listening System into the fabric of the 2016 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, with custom stage presets and onsite demos available to everyone attending the event. By creating Here Optimized Stages, festival attendees can act as their own personal sound mixer during Coachella, enabling them to experience music in a way that's never happened before at a live event.
"Here is not a headphone," said Fritz Lanmam, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Doppler Labs. "It's a computer for the ears - and the first app we built is designed for enhancing live music experiences. With this shipment we will mark a milestone in both AR and VR as we push the boundaries of what it means to wear tech. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Here can eventually do."

Sharp Announces Two New Wireless AQUOS BOARD® Interactive Display Systems
Sharp's expanded AQUOS BOARD interactive displays offer effortless wireless communication and collaboration for every budget
MAHWAH, N.J., Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation (SEC) is proud to announce the release of two new premium-grade AQUOS BOARD interactive display systems, the 70" Class (69.5" diagonal) PN-L703W display and the 60" Class (60.5" diagonal) PN-L603W display, as well as the new value-priced 60" Class (60.1" diagonal) PN-C603D display. The two new premium models come with built-in wireless capability, allowing for an unprecedented level of secure collaboration.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160129/327462
"With these latest expansions to the award-winning AQUOS BOARD interactive display line, Sharp offers the widest range of its models and sizes to date, at varying price points, to meet a diverse set of customer requirements," said Mike Marusic, senior vice president, marketing, operations and services, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. "From the classroom to board room, the new Sharp AQUOS BOARD interactive displays are raising the bar for collaborative experience."
A New Level of Wireless Collaboration
Available in both a 60 Class and 70 Class model, the premium-grade line AQUOS BOARD interactive display systems are designed for 24/7 use. The wireless technology makes it easy to conduct efficient, collaborative meetings by allowing users to present content on the AQUOS BOARD interactive display directly from their mobile devices without the need for adapters, cables or even pre-installed software.
The displays' wireless capability not only transmits the video signal, but it also wirelessly transmits the audio signal and even the touch signal. It also helps to create a more secure environment by broadcasting its own wireless hotspot to avoid accessing the corporate network.
The full HD AQUOS BOARD interactive display systems offer several other features devoted to creating a better meeting space:
-- Seamlessly works with major mobile platforms: including iOS®,
Android(TM), Windows® and OS X, to insure cross platform independence.
And, Chrome(TM) browser support is coming later this year.
-- Quick, easy access for that unexpected presenter: Just plug in the
included wireless token to quickly begin presenting without having to
pre-install any software.
-- Tools that let users present together: A 2 x 2 Split-Screen mode lets up
to four people wirelessly transmit their mobile screens to the AQUOS
BOARD interactive display at the same time.
-- Applications for faster thinking: Users can capture ideas on the fly
using its Direct Drawing function and the new Overlay tool, which allows
AQUOS BOARD interactive display users to create notes or annotate over
wirelessly transmitted documents, webpages, or even videos.
The 70 Class PN-L703W will be available to ship in late February, and the 60 Class PN-L603W is expected to ship by late March.
Smaller Budget, Same Big Ideas
Designed for those with a limited budget but unlimited ideas in an increasingly digital world, the Sharp 60" Class (60.1 diagonal) PN-C603D interactive display system is an engaging solution for the office or the classroom. It allows users to quickly adapt to the fast-paced thinking in collaborative and educational spaces and seamlessly integrates with virtually any software application and system environment.
The included SHARP Pen Software offers two modes: Whiteboard mode comes stocked with a range of background templates and is ideal for writing memos and diagrams; Overlay mode allows users to write or draw directly onto displayed photos, videos, PDFs, and various documents.
This full HD display recognizes up to six points of contact, allowing two people to write on the screen at the same time, using fingers or a pen. SHARP Pen Software is easy to launch on the display and provides a user interface of smartly arranged icons with easy access to pen settings and functions. The anti-glare film reduces the appearance of finger prints; maintaining a crisp picture regardless of lighting. The display is equipped with Touch Display Link 2.0 technology, allowing on screen content, including handwritten notes, to be viewed simultaneously on the board and on connected, mobile devices.
The PN-C603D interactive display is now available. The 70 Class (69.5 diagonal) PN-C703B interactive display was introduced in 2015.
