CeBIT Video Coverage

Posted by timothy on from the commitment-worth-commitment dept.

Charbax writes "I walked around CeBIT 2005 for two days with a headmounted colour camera connected to a harddrive Mpeg-4 recorder in the pocket (the Archos Pma430) and an external microphone. The result is hours of CeBIT video coverage . - check for some Siemens set-top-box, Intel high-tech car, KiSS-Technology 1080p DivX Video-on Demand-players, Chinese and Taiwanese Pmps, WiFi SIP phones, a remote-controlled Linux-running Canadian airplane. And more videos to be added tomorrow. All videos are on BitTorrents."

    I walked around CeBIT 2005 for two days with a headmounted colour camera connected to a harddrive Mpeg-4 recorder in the pocket (the Archos Pma430) and an external microphone. In other words: I duct-taped a digital camcorder to my head!

    I walked around CeBIT 2005 for two days with a headmounted colour camera...

    Did all the stand bunnies run for cover shouting 'Stalker Nerd Alert!'?

    Can't we get an all inclusive torrent? Well, I assume they at least aren't split into .rars. Seriously, who keeps doing that crap?

  7. CeBit footage by kobotronic · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Charbax' Rube Goldbergesque headcam cyber setup was pretty interesting - Terry Gilliam would surely approve of all the visible wiring - reminds me of early designs from Steve Mann. Now Charbax only needs to find a way to broadcast live! Thanks for sharing these.

  12. Stand working at CeBIT'04 by apharov · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I was a stand worker at CeBIT 2004, and I find the highly modded "hot stand bunnies all around"-comments as somewhat infantile. From my surveillance walks (I had another guy to share the stand with) during three days the main feeling I was left with was being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of companies making almost exact duplicates of each others' low-end products.

    The reality of the exhibition was quite far from nice gadgets and women everywhere. Unless you knew where you should go to find interesting stuff you would not find it by wandering around. Knowing _what_ you were looking for was not necessarily enough either as the exhibition area was/is too vast to go through and the hall definitions are mostly somewhat vague.
