« on: February 20, 2013, 09:22:39 PM »

This sample demonstrates how Windows 8 Desktop applications can use the sensors that are available in Intel® Ultrabook™ PCs and tablets. The sample consists of two projects, the Sensor Manager and Windows Sensors. The Sensor Manager library is an interface to get the required data from the sensors. It was designed to be standalone, and has already been integrated into 3rd party game titles. The Windows Sensors project is a very simple 3D “game” demonstrating how to use the library.

3D-Tech News Around The Web / (WebGL) UNIGINE's Crypt demo is ported into a browser

UNIGINE's Crypt demo is ported into a browser

You can get a glimpse of UNIGINE's Crypt demo running in a browser just by following a link. In less than one month, Anthony Liot, at ACTISKU, a company that develops world-class 3D marketing solutions using the UNIGINE Engine, single-handedly adopted real-time UNIGINE demo - with all visual effects - to JavaScript/WebGL, proving that such port can be done by an experienced developer with the full source UNIGINE SDK (that comes without WebGL support) on hand. Watch Crypt online (a browser with WebGL support is required).

On Android a Tegra GPU with S3TC is required - Adreno. Mali and PowerVR users are screwed

NVIDIA Introduces Its First Integrated Tegra LTE Processor

Tuesday, February 19, 2013
NVIDIA today introduced its first fully integrated 4G LTE mobile processor, the NVIDIA® Tegra® 4i, which is significantly faster yet half the size of its nearest competitor.

Previously codenamed "Project Grey," the Tegra 4i processor features 60 custom NVIDIA GPU cores; a quad-core CPU based on ARM's newest and most efficient core -- the R4 Cortex-A9 CPU -- plus a fifth battery saver core; and a version of the NVIDIA i500 LTE modem optimized for integration. The result: an extremely power efficient, compact, high-performance mobile processor that enables smartphone performance and capability previously available only in expensive super phones.

Remote System Monitor allows to get advanced system and hardware information from your windows computer over the network.

Remote System Monitor is composed of an Android application to display system information and a server software for Windows PC. Get Windows server software at http://www.trigonesoft.com/index.php/download

You can use it to check your home cinema (HTPC), media centre, servers , gaming computers or desktop state.

It is particularly useful to check your system state while playing games, allowing you to know if the computer is overheating, how your system deal with temperature and fan speed and how your games are using your computer resources (CPU, GPU, memory, etc..).

System and Hardware Information Provided are:
- temperatures (cpu/cores, gpu, motherboard, hard drive)
- cpu and gpu load
- cpu and gpu frequencies
- ram, swap and video memory usage
- voltages (system, gpu)
- advanced SSD information (total read/write, life time, etc..)
- physical disks read/write speed
- fan speed (cpu, gpu, motherboard, etc...)
- network cards download/upload speed
- logical disks usage
- various controls and levels (fan, ...)
- liquid cooling flow
etc...
