Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society for Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, presenters can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.

LeapFrog Introduces New Early Development and Preschool Toys that Foster 21st Century Learning Skills

LeapFrog's new toys create a balance of early developmental skill building combined with 21st century critical life skills children need to prepare them for the evolving world

EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc., the leader in innovative developmental solutions for children, today announced three new toys that introduce 21(st) Century skills- Melody the Musical Turtle, Count Along Register, and Learn & Groove(TM) Musical Mat. These forward thinking toys help build the foundation for today's early learning basics while introducing tomorrow's problem solving, creative and social skills through deep, immersive play. Each and every toy has been designed with layers of learning that reward children with new experiences the more they play. With each new discovery, children are encouraged to explore further, unlocking and reinforcing independent thinking, comprehension and persistence skills they'll need for the world ahead.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150820/259852LOGO

The 21(st) Century learning framework is a contemporary education approach that recognizes that education must keep pace with innovation and the knowledge, skills and capabilities kids nurture today must be planted with the foresight for where their world is heading. Although kids will always need key school skills, such as math, literacy, and science, 21(st) Century learning teaches kids to approach problems and concepts in different ways and prepares children for the challenges of tomorrow.   Within a 21(st) century learning framework, children develop the four Cs - critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. The framework also includes the development of important character qualities - curiosity, initiative, persistence, grit, leadership, adaptability and social and cultural awareness.

"We believe in thinking ahead and teaching for tomorrow in order to give children the best possible future," said Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, PhD, Director of Learning at LeapFrog. "That's why our toys, games, activities and devices are designed to help prepare today's children for tomorrow's world by inspiring them to master core curriculum skills through engaging play, while helping develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, creative and collaborative skills they'll need to thrive in the 21st century."

Melody the Musical Turtle

Melody the Musical Turtle is a modern mix of classic memory play with a musical twist. Ten musical activities prompt toddlers aged 2 years and up to find numbers and colors, repeat sequences from memory and create tunes by pressing light-up buttons on Melody's shell.  With layers of gameplay, Melody is a highly engaging toy that kids will want to play over and over again. It fosters skills such as learning numbers and colors, memory, music, as well as key 21(st) century skills, like collaborative play for well-rounded development. It caters to different skill levels and ages as the activities progress and level up. And Melody can be enjoyed by one or two players for a cooperative play experience.

Count Along Register

With Count Along Register budding entrepreneurs can run a store and expand their imagination through pretend play and exercise social play skills that help them build a foundation for core and life skills. The talking, interactive cash register features an adorable character that talks, sings and lights up, offering much more than typical calculator-like cash registers. The Count Along Register encourages imaginative role playing while introducing preschoolers to early money skills. The register enables kids to explore colors, vocabulary, food sorting, healthy habits, number recognition and counting with a delightful and engaging character.

Learn & Groove Musical Mat

Physical activity play is critical for children's overall development. The Learn & Groove Musical Mat is an interactive floor mat that develops cognitive and physical development.  Kids get to move, dance, and play music while they learn foundational mathematics skills, as well as 21(st) century skills, such as creativity as they compose their own tunes, and collaboration as they play with friends. With over four feet of musical learning play, the Learn & Groove Musical Mat allows kids to use their feet or hands to explore numbers and counting, music and instruments while developing balance and coordination. The musical mat features 3 modes identified by colored lights to keep kids entertained for countless hours.

Availability

Melody the Musical Turtle (MSRP $19.99, ages two and up), Count Along Register (MSRP $19.99, ages two and up) and Learn & Groove Musical Mat (MSRP $29.99, ages two and up) will be available at major retail locations and online in the U.S. in early Fall 2016.

There are four books in each learning level and together they teach 50+ key skills including ABCs, 123s, and beyond. From life skills and daily routines, to space science and coding, the LeapStart library supports core skills integrated with life skills, such as problem solving and critical thinking to help children prepare for the future. Both LeapStart platforms work with all four levels of activity books for complete interchangeability and ability to find just the right level for each set of skills.

Level 4: First Grade
Covers fundamentals like vocabulary and fractions plus helps grow interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), space science, and problem solving.

"Today's parents realize that 'learning' is more than just ABCs and 123s - it is also about life skills. That's why LeapFrog's focus is on 21st Century learning, a framework that includes the foundational classroom skills kids have always and will always need, as well as life skills they'll need in the future, such as the ability to adapt to changing technology, collaboration skills, and perseverance," said Jody Sherman LeVos, PhD, Director of Learning at LeapFrog. "Through fun-filled activities and engaging adventures that progress one step at a time, the LeapStart interactive activity book system brings learning to life to provide children with the tools they'll need to thrive in tomorrow's world."

The LeapStart interactive learning systems include a portable kid-tough device with a downloadable Parent Guide that fosters the development of kids ages 2-7 with tips, tricks, and activities that parents and kids can do together. Each system comes with a sampler book: Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten designed for the younger platform and Kindergarten and 1st Grade designed for the older platform.

Fujitsu Introduces New Mission Critical x86 PRIMEQUEST Servers

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  New FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST® line-up provides a migration path with
        near-UNIX® performance for customers looking to migrate to x86-based
        server architecture
    --  High-reliability Fujitsu x86 servers are perfectly suited for
        highly-demanding, mission-critical deployments where unplanned downtime
        is not an option
Mission critical models are at the forefront of an all-new x86 server line-up from Fujitsu. New FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST models provide the highest-ever levels of performance and stability from industry standard servers, targeting demanding enterprise computing environments that have all but eliminated unplanned downtime.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

The new-generation FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST line-up has been updated with the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800/4800 v4 product family, reaching unprecedented levels of performance from x86-based servers, as proven by several benchmarks in general and technical computing as well as business processing(1). With the latest enhancements, customers can now be more confident than ever in their choice of mission-critical computing technology based on truly open standards as a viable alternative to UNIX-based systems, in terms of system performance, reliability and security.

The top-of-the-range Fujitsu x86-based servers are designed to provide a new path for customers currently running highly-demanding environments on UNIX based systems, such as SAP ERP systems, and Oracle databases. What's more is that PRIMEQUEST is certified for SAP's in-memory database, SAP HANA®.

Michael Keegan, SVP and Head of Product Business EMEIA at Fujitsu UK & Ireland, comments: "We are building servers that customers can bet their business on. The new-generation of PRIMEQUEST servers are the highest performance x86 servers ever produced by Fujitsu - underlining their position as the bedrock on which organizations can build their digitally transformed business. Thanks to a combination of fantastic performance and lower than ever operating costs, we are seeing more and more customers modernizing their UNIX-based systems, underlining the compelling business reasons to choose PRIMEQUEST x86 servers."

By choosing PRIMEQUEST, enterprises can gain new levels of x86-based performance with the twofold economic benefits of both lower hardware costs and reduced energy consumption than with systems based on proprietary architectures. This is because PRIMEQUEST delivers mission-critical capabilities such as hot pluggable I/O units, Physical Partitioning and Dynamic Reconfiguration.

As end user demand for data center infrastructure performance and capacity continues to increase, Fujitsu is enabling scale-up with the new PRIMEQUEST 2000 series third generation servers. New models, available to order immediately, feature more processor cores and more last level cache than their predecessors. This means PRIMEQUEST is also ideally suited to mission-critical applications such as in-memory applications - where results can be processed faster, helping accelerate business velocity, as well as crucial real-time compute operations where unplanned system downtime can be deadly and expensive, such as running billing applications for telecommunications providers.

Fujitsu is introducing its fastest and most robust x86-based models just as the market reaches the tipping point where x86-based architecture is poised to climb past 50 percent of overall server sales, according to the latest predictions in the Gartner Forecast: Servers, All Countries, 2013-2020, 1Q16 Update - published on April 8, 2016 by Gartner. Furthermore, research by Veeam(2) confirms that mission-critical workloads are accounting for an ever-rising share of data center infrastructure workloads, underlining the need for robust, hardened x86-based systems.

Pricing and availability

FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST systems are available directly from Fujitsu and via distribution partners. Prices vary by region, model and configuration.

The Season Heats Up: Second-Annual List of America's Sweatiest Cities Revealed by Marketers of Honeywell Fans

Charlotte, N.C., Jumps to the No. 1 Ranking; Austin, Texas, Joins Top Ten

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With summer fast approaching, will you be ready to beat the heat? Sweating in public is a concern for nearly half of all Americans(1) and where you live could be a factor in the amount that you sweat.

The marketers of Honeywell Fans have teamed up with Dr. Ted Myatt, ScD, for a second year to identify "America's Sweatiest Cities." Dr. Myatt, ScD, an environmental health scientist, has pinpointed locations across America where hot and sticky converge to create a significant sweat factor. This year, North Carolina sweeps the top two spots with Charlotte (No. 1) and Raleigh (No. 2) and St. Louis, Mo., taking the No. 3 spot.

"Using updated criteria as well as data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, we looked at a range of environmental factors to pinpoint 'hot spots' across the country," said Dr. Ted Myatt, ScD. "The study factored in the average summer temperatures of each city and proximity to large bodies of water. Fitness and recreational sports facilities, as well as sports teams per capita were also considered for the rankings, knowing that more frequent exercise and crowded sporting events lead to a city's overall sweatiness."

So where are the sweatiest places to live? Based on their expert ranking, below is a list of the top ten sweatiest U.S. cities:

1.    Charlotte, N.C.
2.    Raleigh, N.C.
3.    St. Louis, Mo.
4.    Austin, Texas
5.    Richmond, Va.
6.    Miami, Fla.
7.    Minneapolis, Minn.
8.    Orlando, Fla.
9.    Tampa, Fla.
10.  Kansas City, Mo.

Whether or not your hometown is considered one of "America's Sweatiest Cities," portable fan innovations, like the Honeywell Turbo® on the Go! Portable Folding Fan is one solution to help people deal with the summer heat. This compact fan is ideal for providing a blast of air. You can fold, pack and take it anywhere, including the office, camping, outdoor events, backyard barbecue, picnics and any type of travel. Powered by batteries or USB, the Turbo® on the Go! provides strong air circulation in a convenient design that folds, hangs by the handle, stands upright and pivots for personalized cooling in a compact size. Unlike other compact portable fans, the Turbo® on the Go! provides a strong airflow that can be felt up to three feet away.

MAHWAH, N.J., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation will showcase its theme "Relationships@Work" during InfoComm 2016 in Las Vegas, from June 8 - 10, 2016, demonstrating how its strategic technology alliances combine with Sharp technology to transform displays into true industry solutions.

Sharp will demonstrate a technology preview of its 85  Class (diagonal) 8K 120Hz LCD display with IGZO technology, featuring 16 times the pixel resolution of 1080p. The new wide color gamut technology and HDR functionality of this next-generation commercial display makes the image so sharp it seems as if you're looking through a window. Sharp will also highlight a technology demonstration of its 120" Class (diagonal) 4K Ultra High-Definition Commercial LCD Display, which won "Best of InfoComm" from Sound & Video Contractor in 2015, as well as a 70" Class (diagonal) ultra-thin bezel video wall display. The video wall features Sharp Uniform Color Calibration Technology (UCCT) that delivers out-of-the box pixel-to-pixel color uniformity across all monitors.

Among its new product previews at InfoComm 2016 are Sharp's next generation of professional-grade LCD monitors, available in 42", 49", and 55" models, which offer a wide variety of installation options to match location and signage needs. Not only do these displays support landscape and portrait orientation, but they also support face up and face down installation in either orientation, and up to 90 degrees tilt in either orientation.

These state-of-the-art displays incorporate the new Mini Open Pluggable Specification (Mini OPS) design, which Sharp brings to market in collaboration with Intel®, offering a high level of flexibility and designed to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.

The new Sharp AQUOS BOARD wireless interactive display systems--the 70" Class (69.5" diagonal) PN-L703W and the 60" Class (60.1" diagonal) PN-L603W--bring a new level of open platform collaboration while providing secure wireless BYOD functionality to support all of today's major mobile platforms.

Sharp will also highlight three AQUOS BOARD interactive display product demos for the education market through its exciting relationships with Google, Splashtop Classroom and Kaltura by demonstrating interactive learning with video. Sharp's alliances benefit from its Strategic Alliance Resource (STAR) program for third-party products and services that compliment Sharp Pro AV products. Additionally, the Sharp Certified Reseller Program helps Sharp professional display dealers, integrators and consultants increase their sales opportunities by allowing them to purchase from any Sharp authorized distributor.

Sharp will showcase a number of real-world applications for its products and alliances including the Connected Café, a solution powered by Scala, a global leader in digital technology and one of its STAR alliances. The café will have self-serve kiosks for placing coffee orders and taking selfies. Once the order is ready, the customer's photo will appear on a Sharp display. Also demonstrated with the Connected Café is Scala's real-time insight reporting, allowing for screen content optimization including pricing and promotions.

"Our theme, Relationships@Work is about developing strategic technology alliances to tell a story and create solutions that permeate through the entire Pro AV world," said Mike Marusic, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Operations and Services, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America.

Cima NanoTech Debuts Precision Stylus and Object Rejection on Large Format Touch Displays at InfoComm 2016

Highlights include an 84-inch optically-bonded interactive display with fine-tip stylus capability and 42-inch interactive touch table offering object and water rejection

LAS VEGAS, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cima Touch, a subsidiary of Cima NanoTech, will be showcasing new top-of-the-line features for large format touch displays at InfoComm 2016, including an advanced object and water rejection function for touch tables and precision stylus capability for interactive displays geared to corporate collaboration environments such as conference and huddle rooms.

On show at the event will be an optically-bonded, 84-inch 4K interactive display equipped with fine-tip stylus capability and anti-glare cover glass for a natural pen-on-paper writing experience. Optical bonding with the lack of visible lines on screen, a unique attribute of Cima NanoTech's core SANTE technology, provides thinner, high-resolution displays with excellent optical clarity and display contrast for an optimal viewing experience. The newly launched 84-inch SANTE ProTouch module is the largest size in mass production by the company.

The boundaries of standard object and water rejection are being pushed by the company's advanced touch modules which reject metal objects such as drink cans, keys and cellphones - items that often cause false touches. This advanced feature, demonstrated on a 42-inch interactive tabletop, allows users to interact with the touch table as they would a regular table, proving that SANTE ProTouch module is a technology designed for practical applications that do not require users to alter their behavior.

"Integrating advanced capabilities into SANTE ProTouch modules adds a new dimension to our current offering for projected capacitive touch, stretching the possibilities of where and how large touch screens can be used," said Jon Brodd, CEO, Cima NanoTech. "We are intent on staying ahead of the game by providing touch solutions to enable high performance systems that feel natural and intuitive to use and fit seamlessly into our customer's daily lives."

SANTE ProTouch module is a projected capacitive solution providing ultra fast response and excellent touch performance, ideal for large touch screen applications from 32" to 84" sizes such as interactive displays, touch tables and digital signage. Integrating advanced touch technology innovations such as precision stylus capability and object and water recognition enable touch displays that take creativity, collaboration and interactivity to a whole new level.

Cima NanoTech InfoComm Highlights (Booth N2654):

    --  84-inch Interactive Display optically-bonded with precision stylus
        capability
    --  55-inch Interactive Display optically-bonded with 2mm fine-tip passive
        stylus capability
    --  42-inch Interactive Touch Table with metal object and water rejection
    --  42-inch Interactive Digital Signage through thick glass for storefront
        windows
    --  37-inch Mirror Touch Display with a reflective multi-touch surface

Crystal Clear Protection: OtterBox Symmetry Series Clear Crystal Now Available

FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With a smartphone that glitters gold - or rose gold - the decision between premium case protection and showing off the sparkling finish is a tough one. With OtterBox, no one has to choose between case protection and putting the iPhone 6s on display. Introducing Symmetry Series Clear Crystal, a case so clear, it's practically invisible.

Symmetry Series Clear Crystal is a slim, completely clear case that protects iPhone 6s from drops and dings while showing off the device's sleek, sharp lines and custom finishes.

"Clear is the new black," said OtterBox CEO Jim Parke. "OtterBox Symmetry Series Clear Crystal allows you to show off the attractive design of iPhone 6s. At the same time, you'll know that it's protected from rough tumbles, so you can forget it's there until you truly need it."

The iPhone 6s clear case boasts a scratch-resistant back to show off the iconic Apple logo. The dual-material construction provides premium protective benefits in a simple, single-piece form and slips in and out of pockets with ease. Symmetry Series Clear Crystal is made from a specially formulated material with anti-yellowing properties, without which the case would "yellow" from exposure to UV light over time, defeating the concept of clearly displaying iPhone's flattering finishes.

The slim iPhone 6s case boasts OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection, meaning the case design has undergone more than 238 hours of testing across 24 or more tests to ensure durability and long-lasting performance.(1)

Symmetry Series Clear Crystal and other clear-backed Symmetry Series cases are available now for iPhone 6s for $39.95 on otterbox.com and at select retailers. For more information, visit otterbox.com.

About OtterBox:

Starting in 1998 with a line of dry boxes, OtterBox(®) has evolved into the No. 1-selling case for smartphones in the U.S. and a global leader in mobile device protection.(2) Its diverse lineup of protective solutions for smartphone and tablet devices is the result of precision engineering, diligent testing and continual technological advancement, giving technology users the confidence to make the most of their mobile world. OtterBox is an eight-time honoree on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in the U.S. and was named one of "America's Most Promising Companies" by Forbes Magazine. The company is headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo., with offices in San Diego; Cork, Ireland; and Hong Kong.

BullGuard Launches IoT Scanner, the World's First Security Scanner for the Internet of Things

LONDON, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    BullGuard [http://www.bullguard.com ], an industry-leading internet security vendor,
has today announced a world first with the launch of BullGuard IoT Scanner - a powerful
free tool for consumers that reveals connected devices that could be vulnerable to
hackers.

(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160607/376309 )

    BullGuard IoT Scanner allows anyone to quickly scan to see if their smart devices or
network are accessible to hackers. If a user's smart device is flagged as being vulnerable,
details about the specific security issues are provided.

    "The Internet of Things has moved rapidly from an early adopter market into the
mainstream, but in doing so has introduced a range of new security concerns for consumers,
" said Paul Lipman, CEO, BullGuard."We've made an important first step towards addressing
these issues with IoT Scanner, a tool that allows anyone to check if smart devices in
their home are secure."

    A recent BullGuard survey of over 6,000 UK consumers
[http://www.bullguard.com/press/latest-press-releases/2016/03-17.aspx ] underlines the
scale of the problem and the concerns that many people have about the security of their
smart devices. 66% of survey respondents said they are highly concerned about the security
of connected devices, while 72% do not know how to secure them properly. The problem is
set to accelerate with over 25% respondents saying they are planning on buying more smart
devices in the coming 12 months.

    BullGuard's IoT Scanner uses data from Shodan.io, the first search engine for internet
connected devices, to scan for vulnerable smart devices and presents results in a
straightforward way that anyone can understand. This includes security cameras, baby
monitors, Smart TVs and wearables that may be visible to hackers. If accessible devices
are found, they are flagged along with details of potential vulnerabilities. An email
report of scan results can help to diagnose problems further, and users can share
notification of successful scans with friends and family to encourage them to protect
their own smart devices.

    BullGuard has also created a free, downloadable IoT guide
[https://www.bullguard.com/marketingfiles/ext/web/IoT-Consumer_Guide.pdf ] for consumers,
which contains further information on Internet of Things security along with help and
advice on how to ensure connected devices are not visible to hackers.

    "The responsibility for ensuring that connected devices are secure is shared between
consumers, manufacturers and security vendors, and it's important that each does their
part," Lipman added. "We have developed the BullGuard IoT Scanner to put consumers in
control. It's fast, easy and free, and offers vital peace of mind."

    BullGuard IoT Scanner is a web-based application available on any platform and all
major browsers.

    About BullGuard

well as the dark web for stolen and compromised data sources. BullGuard is also a pioneer

- Extended battery life provides up to 17 hours talk time and up to 15 hours of music listening

- Dedicated Google Now(TM) / Siri(TM) button lets you use your voice for more

LOWELL, Mass., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Designed for those who want a great calling experience, music on-the-go and the ability to switch easily between the two, the new Jabra Halo Smart wireless headphones have been developed with voice and call quality top of mind.

Jabra Halo Smart delivers a superior call experience thanks to high-quality microphones with integrated wind-noise protection, enhanced voice capabilities via a dedicated Google Now/Siri button and immersive, full-spectrum sound through its 10mm speakers. With the addition of up to 17 hours talk time or 15 hours of music listening with just one charge, Jabra Halo Smart is intended to be used all day, every day.

Built-in intelligence

The intelligence of Jabra Halo Smart lies in its ability to let the user manage calls, music and media with just one device. According to recent Jabra insights*, 79 percent of users would like to have one set of headphones for both calls and music, but believe the call experience on most music devices is poor. Jabra Halo Smart allows you to accept a call by separating the two earbuds as they rest around your neck, and use one earbud for phone calls or both for listening to music. It also lets you access Siri or Google Now at the touch of a button and keeps you connected and informed in a number of ways. A subtle vibration in the neckband alerts you to incoming calls, while Android users can expect readouts of calendar notifications, emails, text messages and social media messages.

"We are all doing more with our smartphones than ever before, whether it's making and taking calls, listening to music on-the-move or watching a movie clip during a break. So we wanted to develop a set of wireless headphones that deliver amazing sound whatever you're doing, whether taking calls or listening to music," explains Calum MacDougall, SVP at Jabra.

When it comes to basics like battery life, Jabra Halo Smart removes the hassle of constantly charging your headphones. Unlike other solutions, it discretely incorporates a 230mAh battery into the back of the neckband using bendable "flex zones" to provide up to 17 hours talk time (or 15 hours of music listening) with just one charge. Moreover, by using the Jabra Assist app provided, you can track exact battery usage, receive alerts when the battery is getting low and get notifications about when you next need to recharge (based on historical usage).

Jabra Halo Smart is the latest addition to the Jabra Halo family of wireless headphones, designed for busy people who are looking for versatile headphones for multi-purpose use. The first headphones in the series are Jabra Halo Fusion.

Jabra will host a live Facebook stream at 10am ET, Thursday, June 9 on its Facebook Channel, http://www.facebook.com/Jabra. Viewers will witness a live product demonstration and will get to ask questions in real-time. There will also be a live giveaway at the end to all viewers.

Zero Latency Teams up with SEGA Live Creation to Bring World's First Free-roam Multi-player VR to Japan

MELBOURNE, Australia, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Zero Latency, creator of world leading free-roam VR technology, is teaming with Sega Live Creation to bring multi-player free-roam VR to Japan.

A worldwide leader in out of home interactive entertainment, Sega Live Creation are launching the Zero Latency experience in celebration of Tokyo Joypolis' 20th Anniversary. The experience will be a permanent fixture at the Tokyo venue from July 2016.

"Inviting customers to experience warehouse-scale free-roam VR in Japan together with one of the world's most iconic entertainment brands is a dream come true," says Tim Ruse, Zero Latency's CEO. "We are excited about this world first project, and also about the future of our partnership."

Zero Latency's wireless VR technology allows users to explore digital worlds with absolute freedom and unprecedented levels of immersion. Multiple players can roam the large space and embark on a mission individually or as a team of up to six. The free roaming, social aspects of the experience and the high-end equipment far exceed what people can experience using home-based systems.

Zero Latency is customising a FRVR system especially for Sega Live Creation and providing all-new content, weapons and next-generation player wearables underpinned by upgraded tracking technology. Comments Ruse: "We have again raised the bar for free-roam VR -- a concept we invented. Innovation is in our corporate DNA, and our new technology heightens the immersion even more than our early installs in Australia. I believe Japanese guests will enjoy the world's best virtual reality experience."

"When we first tried the Zero Latency experience we were blown away," concurs Kazuhiko Hayami, Sega Live Creation's Executive Vice President. "We knew we were witnessing the birth of a new medium, and we wanted to be involved straight away."

"We are only at the early stages of understanding what free-roam VR is capable of," adds Hayami-san. "It's one of the most exciting technologies coming to market today."

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This Father's Day, help Dad take his kitchen skills to the next level with top-of-the-line gear from KitchenAid.  Whether entertaining guests or cooking for the family, the new KitchenAid Pro Line Blender, Professional Grade Cutlery and Precision Press Coffee maker are gifts that will keep him at the top of his game all year long.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7766756-kitchenaid-fathers-day-2016/

"Even the most skilled home cooks can benefit from extra power and precision," says Beth Robinson, senior brand experience manager for KitchenAid.  "The sleek design and high performance features of our countertop appliances and cutlery make them go-to gifts for dads looking to expand their toolkit and elevate their techniques."

Pro Line Series Blender
What better way to celebrate dad than with a tool that boasts the most power?  The new KitchenAid Pro Line Series Blender, most powerful home blender on the market, is available in two models exclusively at Williams-Sonoma.  Both models feature a powerful 3.5 Peak HP motor, a self-cleaning cycle and 10-year limited warranty. The upgraded models provide the added convenience of dual-wall Thermal Control jar that allows the blender to heat blended ingredients in as little as five minutes while staying cool to the touch and retaining the temperature of hot soups and sauces.  The upgraded model also comes with three pre-set Adapti-Blend(TM) programs for Soups, Smoothies and Juice.  As an added bonus, these new additions are a perfect way to help and inspire Dads to prepare healthier, more nutritious meals.

The standard model is available in Frosted Pearl White and Onyx Black at a suggested retail price of $599.99.  The upgraded model, with a suggested price of $699.99, is offered in Candy Apple Red, Imperial Black and Medallion Silver. Williams-Sonoma will be offering the models at $499.95 and $599.95, respectively.

Need further incentive to bring the blender home? For a limited time only, ending June 30(th), 2016, KitchenAid is offering a blender buy-back program exclusively at Williams-Sonoma. Consumers who purchase a Pro Line blender between now and the end of June can swap out their old blenders, regardless of brand, and receive a $100 prepaid Visa card.  For additional details on the swap, visit your nearest William-Sonoma store.

Professional Grade Cutlery
The newest additions to the KitchenAid Cutlery line artfully combine performance, function and design.  The expanded line now includes two new collections of classic forged cutlery comprised of 14- and 16-piece triple rivet sets with a suggested retail price of $124.99 and $139.99 respectively, as well as 12- and 14-piece brushed stainless steel sets with a suggested retail price of $114.99 and $124.99 respectively. Both sets feature high carbon, precision ground, 1.4028 German stainless steel forged blades that are dishwasher safe and resistant to stains and corrosion. The classic forged cutlery sets are housed in innovative and stylish knife blocks featuring integrated sharpeners, making sharpening quick and convenient.  To help dad keep these precision tools both safely tucked away and close at hand, the blocks are designed with optimal angles for easy placement under kitchen cabinets. 

In addition to Classic Forged Cutlery, Professional series designer block sets are available in Candy Apple Red, Frosted Pearl White, Onyx Black, Sugar Pearl Silver and Raspberry Ice at $799.99 for the 7-piece set and $1,199.99 for the 11-piece set.  Featuring forged blades and composite handles with a beautiful wood grain appearance and a cutlery block modeled after the iconic stand mixer that is manufactured in Greenville, Ohio, this set will make a bold statement in any kitchen.  All knives are made from German Steel 1.4116 and have been Ice Temp Hardened for superior edge retention. 

Precision Press Coffee Maker
For the Dad who considers himself a coffee connoisseur, look no further than the Precision Press Coffee Maker.  Delivering exceptional flavors of traditional French press coffee through a simplified brew process, this coffee maker helps optimize flavor without requiring the skills of a barista.

Designed with dual wall stainless steel construction, the 30-ounce carafe provides superior heat retention versus traditional French press glass carafes.  The cordless design allows for easy cleaning and reduced countertop clutter. The Precision Press Coffee Maker is available at a suggested retail price of $149.99.

2016 Into The Pixel Jury Panel Announces Video Game Art Collection

Annual Collection Launched at E3 Expo, June 14-16 in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) today announced the official selections for the 2016 Into the Pixel (ITP, #IntoThePixel) collection.  Established in 2004, the annual ITP art exhibit honors video game artists who continue to push the interactive entertainment art form forward.  Co-produced by the ESA and AIAS, the 2015 ITP collection will be displayed during E3, the world's premier trade show for computer, video, and mobile games, from June 14-16, 2016, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

"Into the Pixel's 2016 collection highlights not only the range of visual worlds created by video game artists, but also the impressive creativity used by those artists to weave storytelling and atmosphere into the smallest details of those worlds," said Glenn R. Phillips, curator and head of modern & contemporary collections, Getty Research Institute. "I am continually impressed by the technical skill and ingenuity of artists working across every genre of gaming, from studios big and small."

"Congratulations to all of the winning artists of the 2016 Into the Pixel collection whose contributions helped to shape such a memorable exhibit," said Martin Rae, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. "Many people say that one of their favorite parts of E3 is to take a moment amidst the craziness of the conference to enjoy the quiet of the Into the Pixel gallery exhibit. The Academy, along with the ESA, always looks forward to creating this experience for the E3 audience and attendees."

"E3 is the home to world-class innovation and explosive entertainment. So it makes perfect sense that ITP's new collection is unveiled at E3," said Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of ESA, the trade association that represents the U.S. video game industry. "This art showcases the remarkable artistry of our industry's creators and is powerful reminder of the capability of our industry's artists."

iNetRadio App Revolutionizes Music and On-Demand Content Listening

STAMFORD, Conn., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- iNetRadio is the first internet audio player app to seamlessly combine a user's own music collection on their mobile devices or on the cloud with live streams and on-demand content.

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160606/376165

"iNetRadio is designed with the listener in mind," says Clark Burgard, Founder and CTO. "Our goal is to bring together every desired source of entertainment and information on one player. Now, iNetRadio listeners can add news, weather, sports, or any other on-demand content to their own music collection or live stream and have everything play automatically."

iNetRadio's unique "AutoPlay" function adds any on-demand content, such as news and weather updates or talk programs, to the player's playlist as the next item when they're updated. AutoPlay works whether a user is listening to their own music on their mobile device or a live stream, eliminating the need to browse away or search through menus.

"The reaction from listeners and streamers has been overwhelmingly positive," according to Bob Bayne, Co-Founder and Format Coordinator. "Once listeners set their favorite music source to play they never have to touch the app. iNetRadio keeps them entertained and informed throughout the day without the need for any user interaction."

iNetRadio is also Bluetooth enabled for in-car mobile listening and offers geolocated audio traffic and weather reports in a growing number of cities throughout the U.S.  Drivers can enjoy their device stored music collections plus the latest news, weather, traffic, sports and other information updates automatically with significantly less data plan usage.

iNetRadio is available as a free app for iPhones, iPads, Androids, and Tablets and as a player for desktop or laptop computers.

Visit http://www.inetradio.com for a demonstration or to download the free apps.

iNetRadio is a product of InterNetwork, LLC (http://www.internetwork.com), a privately funded internet media company.

Something a Little Different for Online Slots Fans

New range of unique free-to-play proprietary slot and casino table games launched at Vegas Slots.com

AARHUS, Denmark, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Online slots fans looking for something fresh as a change from the standard run of mass produced games found on most online and mobile casino sites will find their search rewarded with the launch this week by Casino.de ApS of Vegas Slots.com (http://www.vegasslots.com).

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160606/375762
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160606/375761LOGO

This new social casino enterprise from an established Internet e-commerce technology and marketing company offers a range of browser-based, player-friendly games with features that include bonuses, free spins, tempting prizes and bragging rights on three leaderboards - Top Earners, Top Wagering Totals and Most Games Played.

The five slots (with another in the pipeline) and five table games have been designed and developed in-house with the social player front-of-mind, and the proprietary nature ensures that each offers unique presentation and gaming elements.

The slots selection includes Revolution Riches, Moon Men, Zombies, Ghostly Greenbacks, Bar Buzz and Magic Show, with Diamond Diva in development and due for release soon. Each has a 5 reel, 20 pay-line format, with players retaining control over virtual bet size and number of lines played.

The table games selection features classic casino favourites such as blackjack, roulette, video poker, craps and mini-baccarat, all playable within a variety of browsers and without download.

Jan Balslev, an industry entrepreneurial veteran and founder of https://www.casino.de, says that the browser-based nature of the games at vegasslots.com ensures accessibility for most PC or Mac users, some with the simple installation of the free Flash plug-in from Adobe.

"The social gaming scene continues to attract players, and there is clearly space for the uniquely fresh range of games which we decided to provide and differentiate with creative themes and features," Balslev says.

"These are boosted by the sort of facilities that social gamers demand such as leaderboards, promos, interesting prizes and competitions."

Regular prize offers are detailed on the vegasslots.com website and include a variety of rewards to players at different milestones; sometimes for those who have the highest virtual balance, and sometimes those with the most play-time, along with random draws for active players.

Despite being a free-to-play social gaming casino, players must be 18 or older and of legal gambling age in their residential jurisdiction to register...and prize winners may be required to verify their age. 

The developers have ensured that registration and setting up an account at vegasslots is fast and easy, enabling players to get right to the action quickly and efficiently.

6.1 and comprise test sets to check multiple syntax elements of MV-HEVC.

    HEVC Screen Content Coding (a.k.a. HEVC-SCC) extensions improve compression efficiency
for non-camera-captured video with significant graphics, text or animation content. It can
be used in applications such as wireless display and screen sharing.

    Pierre Marty, CEO of Allegro DVT, commented: "With the release of MV-HEVC and HEVC-SCC
streams, Allegro DVT is now able to provide the industry's most comprehensive test suite
for HEVC including all extensions. Once again; we are reconfirming our market leadership
in audio/video test streams with the industry's largest product folio that covers H.264,
HEVC, VP9 and AVS2 technologies."
