COMPUTEX, Taipei, June 4, 2009 - (ACN Newswire) - ASUS, widely recognized as a company at the forefront of innovation, today introduced a myriad of mobile and home computing devices and concepts specifically designed to provide users with a truly seamless computing experience. COMPUTEX 2009 served as the perfect platform for ASUS to share its 'Seamless Experience' vision, one which seeks to realize a truly intuitive and effortless computing lifestyle with minimal human intervention. Also showcased was Eee Life, a constellation of Eee products that feature intuitive touch input as well as robust wireless capabilities and Internet connectivity. Products in the spotlight included the recently announced Eee PC Seashell Series, the Eee Videophone Touch SV1T, and the EeeTop PC ET20/22.
The 'Seamless Experience' Concept: Communication without Boundaries
The 'Seamless Experience' concept is the result of the collated feedback, suggestions and recommendations of users around the world submitted via WePC.com, a joint initiative between ASUS and Intel(R). As a true innovator in the modern digital era, ASUS relentlessly strives to design and build the 'dream PC', as well as simplify the way users communicate with one another and the devices that enable them to do so. ASUS is committed to the pursuit of providing users with a computing experience that is more flexible and intuitiveone which seamlessly melds effortless social communication and high performance.
The 'Seamless Experience' concept is a revolutionary, advanced research initiative that leads the way forward in the new digital era. It bridges the gap in communications between users, as well as devices and the differences between virtual and physical space. The concept introduces four key design thrusts that simplify the way users utilize their PCs, communicate and share data with one another. First, it introduces seamless communications between people and devices. For example, notebooks in close proximity could communicate with one another and files such as photographs can be automatically transferred from one notebook to another. Second, it combines information from several points of origin, or even from a piece of paper, and then transforms it into a digital file which can then be shared with friends and family on a large table interface. This provides users with seamless flexibility, in the knowledge that whatever format of data they bring to the table, it can be shared easily and intuitively.
The 'Seamless Experience' also allows users to maximize the potential of their devices by remotely leveraging on a super computer, allowing them to have always-on access to their multimedia files, important work or personal data without having to carry an otherwise heavy notebook. Finally, a seamless data flow allows users to sync their PDAs, mobile phones, PCs and notebooks, so users can work on a file and its edits can then be synchronized throughout all the devices. It is also capable of analyzing data from non-digital formats, such as information scribbled on a piece of paper, and the computer is able to discern its handwriting and store it into the system for future use.
With the 'Seamless Experience' concept, ASUS is forging a way toward a future of truly effortless intuitive computing, communications and data sharing.
