Multi-Touch, Interactive Visual Synth, Market Data Mirrors and More - NWAV.org Portland 2010 Event

The Future - When New Media and Social Media Collide

This month we hosted the NW Audiovisualist’s (NWAV.org) monthly event in Portland, Oregon to highlight creativity and technology. Below is a summary of the event to spark new ideas that tie into the above notions social + real-time intereractive media. 

I believe that we are in a massive cycle of convergence that will re-create the notion of “social media”. Today, social media is more about “social” than “media” because the media production tools are still somewhat fragmented, expensive and hard to integrate quickly.  This next year we will see this rapidly change with the launch of the Apple iPad and downward pricing pressure on multimedia laptops, Pico Projectors, HD video cameras and other converging technologies.

Soon we will start to see collaborative music and media production across social networks in real-time. WiMAX wireless broadband penetration and increased broadband over cable and fiber will add velocity to the new “social + digital interactive media” convergence. Multi-Touch screens, computer vision, gestural inputs via FLIR thermal…

Test Ride!  100% Electric, Brammo Enertia Motorcycle

Posted by: Tim Reha | Tuesday, January 26, 2010 | 0 Comments |

Over the past few years I have had good luck to gain first looks and test rides for a number of electric vehicles. Back in 2007 at the Future in Review we test rode in the Tesla Roadster and Altair-Nano test vehicle.

Electric transportation is moving rapidly into the future with new battery technology moving forward quickly.  This year it was time to investigate the latest in “Electric Motorcycle Technology”, so I contacted Brammo, an Ashland, Oregon based company. A few years ago I was in contact with Brammo’s CEO/Chairman Craig Bramscher,  whom I recall was the U.S.A. importer for a very fast sports car called the Ariel Atom that does 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. At the time Craig said he had something in development but could not tell me what it was at the time. I always wondered what he had in the lab?

Creating TechFlash HDTV, Video Motion Graphics, Live Streaming, HD Videos

Posted by: Tim Reha | Tuesday, December 15, 2009 | 0 Comments |

From from 2001 to 2005 John Cook was always on my press list for Venture All Stars and Investment Forum events. Well almost always on the list, accept or the private investor pitch events where zero press were allowed due to SEC regulations.

This year I caught back up with John as he was the host for the WTIA 2010 Predictions event (I produce WTIA TV).  A few weeks later at the DEMO Innovation Meet-up in Seattle, John and I decided to shot an impromptu video interview with VC and angel investor guests. Since we both travel in the same circles John invited me to collaborate to shoot TechFlash’s 1st Anniversary Party and Trival Challenge.

For the project, it was clear that TechFlash needed a birthday gift. I created a new “corporate imaging package for TechFlash that included custom branded motion graphics package with sound effects. This was used for the intros and outtros for each video.  At the event Colin Christianson and I setup both a live stream and HD video studio used to interview guests at the even to tell their stories and the 2010 Outlook.
