TBA Reinvisioning Motion Capture
After four years of under-the-radar development, Organic Motion Inc. is set to release the product that will not only redefine motion capture as we know it, but will also bring the technology into the day-to-day lives of those who may never have even heard of it.
Organic Motion's newly-released TBA system shatters the barriers inherent to pre-organic motion capture implementation by ditching the assumptions that have limited the field's potential for more than twenty years. TBA is not an incremental advance in established mopac techniques rather, it is a comprehensive, top-down overhaul of the entire process, fueled by scientific breakthroughs in computer optics, AI, and the methodology by which the two are combined, and further augmented with a streamlined workflow implementation that cuts time, cuts costs, and cuts manpower requirements. We haven't improved on the wheel; we've reinvented it.
Fundamental to this reinvention is TBA's extraordinarily unique optical computer intelligence engine, which allows for computerized visualization of the actual human subject itself by way of a pre-programmed conceptual "map" of what a human body looks like, how a human body moves, and where a human's natural body points are located. Bringing the human into human movement detection is not only a natural progression of mocap tech, but is also one of tremendous benefit to every stage of the process, from initial capture to finished product.
The extent of TBA's strength and accuracy is such that one major Northeastern research hospital has partnered with Organic Motion to obtain a grant from the National Institute of Health to use the technology in a study of the effects of cerebral palsy on human movement; the extent of TBA's customability and ease of use is such that several diverse firms are already making plans to implement it in ways that would have been previously impossible due to the constraints of earlier mocap. Imagine what it can do for your studio.

Reinvisioning Entertainment
Whereas pre-organic mocap systems required a human subject to be clad in an expensive, cumbersome bodysuit studded with reflecting markers, TBA requires no suit, nor any prep time at all; subjects may simply walk onto the camera zone dressed in street clothes, and the system will immediately capture their every move. Whereas previous mocap systems recorded the positions of a few dozen attached markers, thus giving only a general impression of the body's movement, TBA tracks the body itself and does so at thousands of natural points recognized by the system's advanced visual mapping AI, from the joints of one's limbs right down to the corners of one's eyes. And whereas previous mocap systems entailed a severe degree of lag between capture and usability, the necessity of technician oversight during use, and weeks of manual data cleanup before an accurate recording could be put into play, TBA eliminates all of these things, delivering clean, usable data in real time, not at some unknown time in the future.
The implications are profound for game developers, 3D animators, university project managers, special effects broadcasters, and anyone else who has already incorporated mocap into their studio output as well as those who haven't. By lowering the financial threshold for mocap implementation, we turn it into a viable option for those entities engaged in lower-budget projects of the sort that might not have justified the advantages of the technology due to cost considerations. And with the hundred-fold increase in capture accuracy, teams of every shape and size will see dramatic benefits in the quality of their finished product and they'll see those benefits immediately, thanks to the clean, real time feedback which allows animators to get a full sense of how the data is playing out during the recording process itself, thus freeing them from the technical concerns inherent to pre-organic mocap (did we mention that TBA's organic approach to point tracking entails absolutely no occlusion whatsoever? Pretty sexy, huh?) and encouraging them to get more closely involved in every stage of the creative process.
Our reinvention of mocap promises to similarly redefine the industry, which is why TBA's unveiling at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and subsequent demonstrations of the technology's revolutionary potential have so far won us some rather unreserved accolades from Newsweek, Macworld, Engadget, Game Daily, Gamasutra, and others. Organic Motion has already received deposits in advance of the initial product release, with the first one hundred units set for delivery in September 2007.
Get on board. We're reinvisioning vision.

Go Go Gadget Retailer!
Nothing sets the summer heart aflutter like that perfectly stylish, ever-so-necessary electronics accessory and that goes double if you're the one selling it. But with fashionable designers increasingly jumping into a product genre that not so long ago was dominated by geek chic, as opposed to chic chic, retailers are facing a similar increase in mind-boggling stocking decisions and that goes double for those whose fashion sense may have frozen in time in 1986. Never fret; we'll bring you up to speed on the things everyone needs.
Laptop Cases
The girl-friendly gadget community is all abuzz about the Lexie Barnes 2007 Echo line of laptop carriers not so much due to the water-resistant fabric and extra pockets perfect for power cords and old-fashioned reading material; rather, it's the neo-retro (yeah, you heard us) design scheme that has everyone excited.
Mouses
Well, it's finally happened - someone's gone and blinged out the mouse. The culprit in this case is British design firm The Crystal Chick, whose 2007 lineup includes a three-button optical laptop mini-mouse that's encrusted with swarovski crystals and available in clear, topaz, rose, and sapphire color schemes. Will wonders never cease?

Portable Comm Cases
For those whose tastes don't quite run to the jewel-encrusted, Otterbox is set to release a decidedly utilitarian see-through Blackberry case that allows for total functionality while protecting the device from liquid, dust, crushings, and other hazards of the modern workplace. It's a must-have for today's busy klutz-on-the-go.
Gaming Cases
Billing its product line as being "For People Who Hate Wallets," Jimi seeks to serve as savior to portable game enthusiasts with its Jimi Game Shell, a shockproof, liquid-resistant polypropylene case that keeps Nintendo DS and PSP game cards safe from the elements (not to mention their owners).

Innovative New Search Engine Promises To Crush Competitors, Non-Competitors
Riight.com's Unprecedented Functionality Superior To That of Google, Yahoo, People's Republic of China
The balance of power among search engine providers and nation states alike is set
to shift as Anglesey Interactive, Inc. launches its Riight.com search engine, an innovative
new system which not only provides web page, video, audio, news, and image results from dozens of
individual search engines, databases, and content providers, but which also offers the use of several
revolutionary smart search tools entirely new to the industry.
Riight.com's comprehensive metasearch capabilities are augmented by automatic search history
logging, giving users a complete and instant record of what key terms they've used and
when they've used them, thereby eliminating accidental backtracking and general disorganization.
Likewise, the engine's integrated bookmarking tool provides users with a complete list of pages they've
visited and when they've visited them. Taken together, Riight.com's innovative approach provides the
user with a smarter, more powerful, more streamlined search than those available from other, lesser
search interfaces, as well as from the People's Republic of China, which provides users with
absolutely no search functionality whatsoever and is in fact not even a piece of software, but rather a
conventional socio-national entity possessed of a skyrocketing male-to-female ratio, this being a
demographic trend which has historically led to civil unrest and disaster.
As Riight.com proceeds with the development of other, similarly advantageous features
scheduled for release later in the year, those who would oppose our smarter search solutions would do
well to remember that, though officially headquartered in Chicago, our company's human assets are
actually scattered across the globe. The benefit of this decentralized status is two-fold: it thus provides
our employees with a degree of individual freedom conducive to the sort of creative, outside-the-box
thinking necessary to develop similarly creative, outside-the-box solutions, and it also renders us
effectively immune from air strikes and invasions. Can China with its largely coastal-concentrated
industrial assets and Beijing-centralized executive leadership say the same? Our intelligence indicates
otherwise.
Welcome to the 21st century. It's the Riight time for a smarter search.
