We look forward to continuing our momentum from Kickstarter on to Indiegogo and would like to thank all of our backers for their amazing support.

NEWARK, Del. (PRWEB)
August 14, 2020

Cinera Edge, the world’s first Head Mount Display (HMD) with dual 2.5K micro OLED and Dolby Digital certified 5.1 surround sound headphones, will now move pre-orders to Indiegogo InDemand after a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1.3 million.

More than 2,400 backers have pre-ordered Cinera Edge, which is the first true mobile cinema that delivers a real theatrical immersive experience with extraordinary video and sound quality.

The personal home theater will feature micro-OLED that packs 3.7 million (2560×1440) pixels into a tiny 0.8inch screen that transforms into a 120-inch movie screen experience with certified Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound headphones.

“We look forward to continuing our momentum from Kickstarter on to Indiegogo and would like to thank all of our backers for their amazing support,” said Peter Lin, founder of Cinera.

Cinera’s screen is as large as 120″ (10-feet) from a 20m distance or 66-degree wide horizontally, wider than a standard 54-degree cinema screen and nearly as wide as IMAX’s signature 70-degree screen.

Cinera Edge is Dolby Digital certified so it can process high resolution audio without quality degrade. With four speaker drivers at each side, Cinera Edge recreates 5.1 surround sound configuration as in a movie theater.

Cinera, which combines Cine + Era for its vision of the future of movie cinemas, runs on a full Android OS and can be used with today’s popular streaming apps via Wi-Fi with no need for an external device.

Cinera’s smart design focuses the weight on the two sides, leaving less pressure in the front pieces and on the user. With an ergonomically designed body, Cinera Edge is easy to wear comfortably for many hours.

While it was designed for movies, Cinera can also be connected via HDMI cable to play video games, watch sports and TV shows, pilot drones, and use it on PC. Cinera also features a micro SD card for users to bring their favorite content with them when traveling.

For more information and to pre-order the Cinera Edge visit Indiegogo InDemand.

About Cinera – Cinera was founded in 2016 by a group of movie fans who are passionate about movies, technology and elegant product design. The Cinera team successfully launched their first-generation product – a 5K Head Mounted Display in 2017 on Kickstarter and raised over $300K from more than 600 backers on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. In 2020, Cinera announced its sequel – an HMD with the latest micro OLED technology with 2560×1440 pixels in a 0.8inch area. Cinera Edge also has an embedded Dolby Digital certified 5.1 surround sound headphone.

Configurations of the V-817 linear stages shown with G-901 industrial motion controller

AUBURN, Mass. (PRWEB)
August 14, 2020

PI introduces a new motion controller and precision linear stage family geared towards precision industrial automation applications. The V-817 linear stages, engineered for highly dynamic and precise motion, boast a load capacity of 600N, travel ranges from 8” (204mm) to 32” (813mm), and velocities to 3000mm/sec. Driven by 3-phase linear motors and guided by robust recirculating ball bearing guides, the low-profile design of only 63mm minimizes moving mass and tilting errors. An integrated linear encoder provides less than 1nm resolution and when operated with PI’s industrial motion controllers, the stages achieve 10nm minimum incremental motion, 1µm bidirectional repeatability, and 2.5µm accuracy.

XY Stage Configurations

Stages can be combined for XY motion thanks to an available platform with a triple M6 hole pattern. The V-817 is only 63mm high (without the platform), making it easy to integrate into compact machine assemblies.

EtherCat Compatible Motion Controller Family

The stages are compatible with the new G-901 industrial motion controller family. These controllers are based on ACS hardware with EtherCat connectivity, providing up to 1500W output per axis. Many advanced control features, such as Servoboost, NanoPWM and special algorithms for Gantry Control, laser triggering and high speed contouring, are available and improve the throughput and performance in applications from Laser Machining to 3D Printing.

Braumm’s new products include the Smart Outdoor Timer Outlet, the Smart Alarm Sensor, and the Smart Plug.

“Perfect for outdoor equipment, Braumm’s Smart Wifi Outdoor Outlet reinforces our commitment to provide all users with the tools and resources needed to navigate changes driven by the Internet of Things (IoT),” said Billy Wong, head of research and development.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (PRWEB)
August 13, 2020

Braumm, makers of top-quality smart home products, today announced the launch of their new Outdoor WiFi Timer Outlet, available now on their website and Amazon for $39.99. Braumm’s latest digital assistance tool joins the recently introduced Smart Wifi Door and Window Alarm Sensor and Smart Plug to complete their suite of connected life tools that complement customers’ ever-changing lifestyles.

The Outdoor Wi-Fi Timer Outlet is designed to take up as little room as possible, yet can power almost any outdoor equipment (15A/1875 Resistive, 8A/1000W Tungsten). Connected to Wi-Fi and the Braumm app, users can manually switch the outlet power on and off with their phones and set schedules to save on electricity costs. Built with the outdoors in mind, the product’s rugged power socket and thick cable with heavy-duty strain relief handles all weather conditions and prevents fraying and exposing bare wires.

“Perfect for outdoor equipment, Braumm’s Smart Wifi Outdoor Outlet reinforces our commitment to provide all users with the tools and resources needed to navigate changes driven by the Internet of Things (IoT),” said Billy Wong, head of research and development. “Founded in the belief that time and convenience are important aspects of everyone’s daily lives, Braumm connects users to a smarter way of life and improves safety.”

In addition to the Outdoor Wi-Fi Timer Outlet, Braumm’s Smart Wifi Door and Window Alarm Sensor and Smart Plug help users to have more control over the security and improvement of their homes.

• The Smart Wifi Door and Window Alarm Sensor ($39.99) gives users peace of mind by providing smart security, whether users are away or home. Easily installed in minutes, the security sensors send push notifications to users’ phones when triggered. The product’s right switch toggles between doorbell and siren audio, while the left switch activates home or away mode based on a user’s location.
• The Smart Plug($29.99) is newly updated and lets users automate their homes with ease from any location by controlling plugged-in devices from the convenience of the Braumm app. Similar to the Outdoor Wifi Timer Outlet, Smart Plug can use their phones to turn on and off and set schedules to help save on electricity costs.

All Braumm products, compatible with Alexa and Google Home for voice commands, are available now for purchase on the website and through Amazon and are covered by a limited lifetime warranty with product registration. Customer service is available for all product support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
