ARDIC Technology is an up and coming startup whose recent video has the Android world talking about big screens and little green robots. A recent video from the Turkish company showcases a new prototype system that lets you interact with Android on a big screen, a very big 65-inch screen.
The group has created a small, 10-inch Android tablet that powers a larger 65-inch display. The smaller tablet is your typical Android fare with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of flash storage, front and rear-facing cameras, HDMI, USB, a microSD slot, and both 3G and WiFi for connectivity. The 10-inch device connects to the larger, touchscreen monitor via a dock that displays the 1080P video and audio using HDMI and sends touch input via USB. A demo of Fruit Slice on the monitor is impressive to say the least. This early version of the system only includes two sensors and supports basic gestures like swipe and pinch and zoom. Advanced multi-touch gestures are expected in the next version of the monitor which will include four sensors.
As you would expect, ARDIC Technology hopes to sell this system to business and education customers who can use it as a whiteboard replacement. It would be perfect for presentations that mix static slides with audio and video content. The company also hopes to expand this technology to a variety of devices including smartphones and different-sized displays. It would be great for presentations, meetings, classrooms and more.
