3D Movies coming to a Home Theater near you
It all started with a simple television set along with Video/CD/DVD player that allowed us to watch movies at home. However, it lacked the premium sound and picture which we could enjoy only in movie theaters. The introduction of home theater systems and LCD/plasma/projector television sets in the market changed this scene completely and families were now able to enjoy the complete theater experience without leaving the their house. That was, until 3D came out…
In the event you wanted to see a 3D movie (take recently launched Avatar for example), you had no option but to buy a ticket and sit shoulder to shoulder with strangers. It was the one experience your home theater system could not provide. Starting this year, the 3D experience is coming home.
According to the announcement made at a press conference in Berlin, Sony Corporation will be releasing 3D television products for the home users in 2010. You can then enjoy a complete 3D theater experience by combing your home theater system that can play 3D media with these new television sets and wearing active-shutter glasses. Using active-shutter glasses, you can enjoy 3D content on television from any from nearly any viewing angle. But what if you want to see 3D media without wearing any glasses?
In case you don't want to wear any sort of glasses to watch 3D media on TV, then you would be interested in the televisions being developed by Sharp and LG. Yes... yes... they will allow you to enjoy 3D movies without wearing any glasses. But everything comes at a price. In this case, you would need to sit at one particular location at a certain distance from your television set.
But in any case, the 3D TVs will definitely change the way we watch motion pictures at home. Apart from watching 3D movies, we would also be able to play 3D games by connecting it to gaming consoles. Going further, operating systems like Windows or Mac OSX probably will also render the UI in 3D. Just imagine the possibilities.......

HAI's new IP based products
Today it is official, we announced weeks ago that it was coming, and the first of many new and exciting products are set to ship and ready to purchase. The OmniTouch 10P and docking cradle are by far the brightest and best new products to be released for some time. The new 10.4" portable touchscreen has built in wi-fi and offers all the control of our popular in wall touch screen but it is almost twice as large and completely portable! When coupled with the new design software and "Home Theater Extender" the 10P will be completely customizable and be able to control your TV and other media components too. It will truly be a whole house and entertainment controller.
In addition to the whole house and entertainment control the IP features of the 10P allows the user ability to browse the web and also access their camera hard drives and view the cameras right from the touch screen.
The design software gives us the ability to completely customize the look and function of the wireless touch screen and the soon to be released new 5.7e in wall touchscreen. The new software and these products are ushering in a new era in home control for HAI and Mile High Automation.

HAI Custom Graphics Release and New Home Theater Extender
HAI has recently released a new software, HAI Automation Studio, that will allow Mile High Automation to design and create custom graphics on the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens. Custom graphics are a very popular request from clients and we are excited to be able to offer these custom designs on the protable touchscreens.
In addition, HAI will be offering full home theater and surround sound control from the HAI Home Theater Extender (HTE) when coupled with the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens. The upgrade will offer serial (RS-232) control and an IR database that includes over 300,000 IR codes plus the ability to “learn-in” any additional codes not already included. The HTE also includes inputs that can be used with current and/or voltage sensors to help determine whether the equipment is currently in the “on” or “off” state, thus eliminating any issues that could be caused by legacy equipment that does not offer discreet power controls.
These two new offerings from HAI, coupled with the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens, will allow homeowners to press one button to turn on the TV, AV Receiver, DVD player, play the DVD, dim the lights, and set the entire house to desired levels for a totally automated entertainment experience and do so on completely custom designed graphics.
