The magazine Entertainment Weekly from several hundred thousand copies weekly chose to cross the course of the video ... In a paper magazine!
In effect September 18 the readers of New York will surprise, which is no longer one to see an advertisement touting the merits of various series on video.
Go from being a player than viewers in seconds, two visions of the media so far opposed (the war between paper and virtual media is no longer a myth for a long time), this is a very attractive challenge.
The TFT display measures a mere 2.7 mm thick, a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and will have an endurance of 70 minutes. The chip will contain for its 40 minutes of commercials. The battery is rechargeable by USB connection.
The underlying technology, called Video-In-Print was developed by Americhip. It allows, in addition to posting videos on print, download web content on paper via the USB port.
This kind of technical advances us to believe that the future of newspapers is not so dark as one might think. The paper mixed with the power of video and the Web may well be the ideal medium of communication, we are at the dawn of a new era that will reach their full potential when techniques allow manufacturing costs more interesting (you Imagna the cost per page of the September 18 edition of Entertainment Weekly ?)
