Mobile news I collected from SXSW 2014


Hardware
Oculus
Delivering incredible, affordable, and ubiquitous consumer virtual reality to the world. I've tried the game showed by Oculus Rift in SXSW called "Ascend the Wall". It's really amazing! It create a hard-edged realism, and I can't imagine what the future life will be like with it's development.

Ring
Remote control by move your finger.

Kinoma Create
Just like the popular Raspberry Pi. This is the JavaScript-Powered Internet of Things Construction Kit.

3M-Touch Table
It's not a Touch Screen, but a Touch Film. 3M just want to introduce it's amazing touch film that can make any interface touchable in the future.

Products Made in Japan.
1.Scentee Balloon
Scentee has been created to construct a new form of communication for “a mobile lifestyle using the sense of smell”. The form of communication using “the sense of smell” is something that has yet to be realized despite the ongoing evolution of smartphones.
2. FUKUSHIMA Wheel
Motivate people to use bike more as well as have fun, goal is to protect the environment.

Olloclip

TOUCHJET

Wello
Wello is a health tracker as a phone cover. Simply hold it and hidden sensors begin testing your vitals. This information is then quickly passed to an app that's synced to your phone. Not only do you get an instant idea about your health, over time you are able to see patterns that help you manage your life better.




Software 
Aurasma
Do you know the Häagen-Dazs App? Scan the lid of your ice cream, a violinist will appear and play music. And Aurasma is a augmented reality platform. Aurasma's image recognition technology uses a smartphone's or tablet's camera to recognize real world images and then overlay rich media on top of them in the form of animations, videos, 3D models and web pages. It's a sponsor  of SXSW, I scanned my book with the app, and it show me a long and interesting animation!

People always have secrets, and they need a platform to pour out. This app become popular that fill the needs of telling and seeking secrets anonymously.
