See how InVisage's HDR sensor will improve smartphone filmmaking
It's been over five years since we heard from InVisage, a company developing a new kind of smartphone sensor with higher dynamic range and zero rolling shutter. It just produced a short film called Prix using a prototype chip to show exactly how the tech works. As a reminder, InVisage developed a photosensitive nano-coating it calls QuantumFilm that works differently than silicon. It claims that the material has "higher photosensitivity and electron sensitivity per pixel," which makes it react more like film than a typical CMOS sensor. It's also fast enough to instantly switch on and off, allowing the use of a global instead of a rolling shutter.
Grand Prix announces work on Wii title
It would appear that Japanese development studio Grand Prix Games has formally announced their intent to bring an unnamed title to the Wii. The company supposedly has a background in boxing games, so we're forced to assume that this is what they have planned for the console, which if you think about it, could actually work.Think about using two Wiimotes, each representing a fist. Pulling the trigger could have you toss up a block to that side. Using the two Wiimotes, you would be able to throw hooks or jabs in real time with real speed. Sure, you'd probably be tired as hell after two rounds, but it's definitely an interesting idea for a control scheme.
