Slashdot Mirror

NICT has an arguably better press release of the same partnership - it goes in just a little detail (which is better than almost none from Fujistsu)

Or (as in this case), prevented from properly maintaining the clock because of an evacuation order.

Most of the clocks and watches that receive these signals have internal quartz frequency sources and will do just fine until the signal is back up, unless the evacuation situation drags on for months.

Our Japanese sister site has more information, and a link to the information from the guys operating the time base signal, also in English, with slightly less information.

(Although I'm not sure the nict.go.jp site is going to be able to handle a slashdotting, so I'll suggest only going there if you can read Japanese or really need the information.

There's also a link in the article on slashdot.jp to a project on Make! Japan for simulating the signals, which should be more interesting anyway.)

Here's the actual research outfit working on the IRODORI system. It's a complete end-to-end system that includes cameras, front and rear projection systems and LCD displays:

Experimental System

I've seen it-- they're getting quite a bit more of the CIE color space than we're use to with traditional RGB displays, and the results show it if you get to actually see one (I have). The results are truly stunning...

Akasaka Natural Vision Research Center presented some of their technology 6-band HDTV Camera, 16-band Micorscope, 6 primary DLP Projector, etc.

Personally I find this more interesting then the article sence they expose what they are doing. As well as addressing the multi-primary capture issues as well.
