LAS VEGAS--Time will tell if sluggish sales in the consumer electronics industry will lift in 1992, but numerous industry executives, that flew in to this desert city expecting the worst, crowded on jumbo jets bound for dwelling in a state of jubilant surprise and euphoria.

 

If it is possible to judge a trade show solely by mindset, the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show was a wonderful improvement over the show in June. https://medium.com/@carspeakerland/what-are-the-speaker-sizes-in-my-car-speaker-size-for-my-car-c32cccff8dbb

 

Brand new products and aggressive sales strategies made cellular electronics a point of focus at CES. What follows are some of the companies and products which made news:

 

Altec Lansing

 

People who use computers such as MIDI, voice synthesizers, music composition, multimedia applications, as well as serious sport players, will appreciate the depth and range of stereo sound possible from these brand new speakers, based on Altec and Bose engineers.

 

Both IBM and Altec Lansing think they're on the outer edge of a buck business, as CD-systems sabotage to control both the entertainment and computing worlds of their future.

 

Based on Olsen and Altec engineer Tommy Freadman, these first two lines of speakers use circuitry that provide high-quality sound with little program. "Offices are becoming smaller and smaller so what we want is high quality sound in a really small space," Olsen believes.

 

To start, Altec and IBM will sell just two lines, one having a subwoofer and one without. Both pairs have electronic signal processors, to boost sound. Other significant characteristics of interactive speakers, based on Freadman, include the ability to take care of broad dynamic variety, flexible design, and the perfect colour and shape to co-exist inside a computer environment.

 

Other speaker companies are advertising computer speakers in addition to Altec. Bose lately introduced the RooMate Compute Monitor. Much like Altec, Bose prides itself proprietary circuitry to provide high fidelity sound in a small location.

Hrmm I may need to update that one. It works the majority of the time but in some render styles floating planar objects/flat images sometimes disappear or display Z fighting. Might just take what this video explains and add to it.

^ What Andy says. Easy, scalable (yay!!!) Self-illuminating if you desire (or not). If you've never made one before, after creation VW will by default deposit the Image Prop at the drawing's 0,0 position (first few times this made me just a tiny bit crazy. No idea why I am not prompted, after generation, to place it where desired, or why no pref for that).

The first few times I ever tried making an Image Prop I thought it just "didn't work". Then I later found all the image props I had made just sitting at 0,0. :)
