CES
is the World's largest Annual Tradeshow for Consumer
Technology and this year Driver Heaven is attending
the event in fabulous Las Vegas. It has been a major
feat getting some coverage between all the late
night parties with hot women and gambling in the
casino's. So here with our with our first day of
CES coverage, a few K out of pocket.
DLINK
The
Dlink stand this year is certainly
bright and colourful and as you can see from the
images above they are promoting their new GAMEFUEL
product, which is a broadband/cable wireless router
that provides QOS (priority of service for ports)
for internet gaming aimed at the enthusiast gaming
market, they claim to have port compatibility for
literally hundreds of gaming titles.
SONY
Sony
have many of their panels on display, with lovely
21inch screen on display only 10mm thick and 8inch
only a few millimetres thick, giving class leading
brightness and saturation. We hope to have one of
these screens for review very shortly, so keep your
eyes peeled on DH for an indepth review this year.
GEIL
Geil
have new concept memory on show, with "on
the fly" adjustable voltages available via
pots, also an additional power connector is used
instead of the motherboard power lead, this reduces
the noise (power fluctuations) that the motherboard
provided power gives out. They also mentioned their
new "Black Dragon memory", with a raised
Dragon logo, the final design is said to have a
glowing dragons eye and increased detail on the
logo. Sexy ram, we like.
TRIMERSION
~
Trimersion
was drawing a lot of attention with their
VR Headset and gun, a wireless creation with 640x480
displays. Currently there are connectors for PS2/Xbox
and PC however will plan on also releasing Xbox
360/Playstation 3 connectors over the coming months.
Basically this device acts as a mouse control but
uses a gyro to calculate the movements. It also
has built in stereo headphones and power is supplied
via a lead running directly from the gun. The gun
has buttons for firing, changing weapons with programmable
options to tailor titles to your requirement. We
tried it and found that it still needs some work
before it would be a good product, but the potential
is certainly high. The retail price is set to be
around $400, available Q2. Modelled by DH staff
James Reed and James Dean - ain't they cute?
