Many of the conference centers today charge for travelling computer cases on wheels and some have even have changed their rules so drastically that they totally prohibit them on the expo floor.
With the Moshi backpack, this is no longer an issue. The Moshi backpack is extremely handy because it opens from the side which makes it easy to use when it is still on your back.
Without the camera insert inside the Moshi backpack, it is very spacious for carrying conference materials, lights and batteries. It has special dome top flap which is good for safekeeping eyeglasses, microphones or other items that can be easily smashed. The inside of the dome has a zipper pouch which is good for extra batteries and memory cards.
The back of the backpack is padded and has air vents, so it comfortable and does not get hot when it is being used all day. The bag inside has several zipper pockets that are useful for cables, business cards, pens and accessories. The bag also features a full-size bag pocket on the back that holds papers, badges and other materials that are needed for doing full-day camera and studio production.
Finally, what makes a Moshi backpack a camera backpack is that it features a full-size tripod pocket which allows you to carry all your equipment in one location.
November – San Francisco Bay area is going to be primary area for the first phase of deployment of 5G for mobile devices. It is going to be one of the smart city where information and communication, including mobile connectivity are going to improve quality of urban life – from professional to private. From social networking, to real-time GPS navigation and maps, mobile payments, video streaming and access to the Internet at the fingertips anywhere, anytime.
A lot of trials and testing are going on right now. 5G wireless communications needs new transmission equipment in the network to be sure that every IoT device out there is connected to the right network and can deliver significant performance increase. For enjoying media content, we now use a second screen and often a third screen. In this connected world we are talking not just about the million additional devices but billion of them.
What need to be bring to the table is mobile operating system because people are consuming videos and media on the mobile devices more and more. There are also different requirements for various situations: if you using it for surgical operation in healthcare or if you remotely driving a car or if you are just sending a message to the network.
What does 5G technology mean for us? When you push some content and you see on the screen that little “loading or buffering wheel”, the icon that shows you that time is elapsing – that is 4G. With 5G all those things are going to go away. No waiting time for download. Things are going to happen instantly. Today 65% of content consumption traffic on tablets is video traffic. Slightly lower, around 42% is on the smartphones. Deployment of 5G will allowed that performance on the devices will be much faster and it will be instant.
5G plays significant role for connected cars, airplane traffic or smart factories. It is important in the era that has a flood of automated data. By 2020 average internet user is going to create around 1,5 GB of traffic per day but smart hospital will produce 3,000 GB and autonomous vehicle 4,000 GB per. Airplane data will even use 10 times more than a driverless car – 40,000 GB per day. The top of the list ranked smart factory with 1,000,000 GB daily.
For the initial testing, why choose San Francisco? Being located as part of the extended Silicon Valley, it is a foundation for Internet of Things (IoT). This means all applications are easily going to find it and will are going to find route here – explained an executive from Ericsson at the Mobile World Congress Americas in September. Ericsson is building a pipe that will supply all the devices. By 2022 the company predicts that there will be 500 million IoT devices ready for 5G. In addition to the network, there is going to be new applications development for IoT on the top of 5G.
Initial roll out of 5G is going to happen probably early 2019 and 2020 but the momentum for expansion to other cities will be later on. Things are going to be perform faster, the quality of experience for mobile devices is going to be significantly better and low latency.

September 2017 – The workstations are making their ways through to the creative community. At this point, it’s no surprise that HP updates their Z8, Z6 and Z4 workstation with advances design including reliability and capacity.
The new designs have been implemented to support the increased performance of the units. Higher power with up to an 1700W power supply, a dual processor configuration supporting up 56 CPU cores, more storage with up to 48TB built in, support for up to 3 Nvidia Quadro P6000 series GPUs and now, 3TB of RAM spread over 24 memory slots, and dual 10GBe network interfaces. This high performance configuration requires a focus on airflow and cooling, and the new designs support that.
The HP workstations are being targeted to higher end applications such as machine learning, virtual reality, and advanced (4K and 8K). As the content created needs a high level security the new machines are maintaining it and security measures such as HP Sure Start Gen3, TMP2.0, Secure Authentication and HP SecureErase are all part of the product line.
AR (Augmented Reality) is a technology that layers computer-generated enhancements on the top of existing reality enhancing it with meaningful information and to making it interactive. AR is developed into apps and is used on mobile devices the way that the components enhance one another but can also be detected apart very easily.
In 2010, founder and CEO of Augmented World Expo (AWE), Ori Inbar predicted that in ten years (2020) that everyone will be using AR to experience reality in a more meaningful way. There is a ramp and a learning curve and the technology has to get a foothold, but once it does the applications advance and the product become standard. Today AR is in that moment, Inbar stated in an interview with me in 2015 – it is still incubating and trying to hone in on the correct experience for the market but the monetization plan is close to being defined. Today, Inbar’s words are confirmed with others. Digi-Capital just published an article stating that mobile AR will top a billion users and will be a $60 billion dollar industry by 2021.
AR is often confused with VR.
VR is a fully computer generated image and AR is just a layer on real reality. But there are more differences. Ori continued, that there is a use model difference, since VR is a closed screen, it is a download based product. All of the content is created and scripted for consumption such as films, games or documentary style information. AR on the other hand is a see-through overlay type of experience. The content is typically streamed to the unit in real time based on the situation and feedback from user. This creates a dynamic content environment, and it is also much more familiar to the user.
There are two types of augmented reality. The first is vision based AR. The real environment is scanned with a mobile device with your phone or tablet and it will augment something within that data. The second is location based AR. Traditional GPS give us just minimum information about a trip from point A to point B. AR application could enrich it for much more including distances and measurements.
AR extends our vision. The AR glasses optimize production, when the technician who uses them see the safety warning or manual instruction. AR glasses optimize the performance for runners and cyclists giving them their performance metrics such as speed, distance, ascent/descent, cadence (steeps per minute) or heart rate. In healthcare, AR glasses allow the medical professional for precision of IV placement.
AR and VR worlds are diverse and competitive, but standards are coming in.

Fathom events, May – Richard Strauss’s (1864-1949) passionate and lush opera, Der Rosenkavalier, was presented live in High Definition cinema on Saturday, 13 May 2017 to hundreds of delighted audiences in movie theatres throughout the world. It was a one-night-only performance broadcasted live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. It’s world premiere was at the Konigliches Operahaus in Dresden in 1911 where it was enthusiastically received. It has remained a favorite operatic staple ever since.
Although designed as a comic-social opera, Der Rosenkavalier operates at a more emotionally deeper level. The end of the Habsburg’s dynasty was right around the corner, and the bitter-sweet quality of that time reflected on the plot. Only a few years after its premiere of Der Rosenkavalier, the symbolic end of the Habsburg Monarchy was marked. In 1916, Emperor Franz Joseph, after a reign of sixty-eight years died and then two years later Europe experienced First World War, the conflict that defined the century. The society never looked quite the same and new nation states were established in the former Habsburg territories.
Strauss was enamored by the female voice and his opera is famed for the beautiful arias for the three female roles consisting of two sopranos and a mezzo-soprano: Marschallin, Octavian and Sophie. Marschallin, Princess von Werdenberg, who is having an affair with the young count Octavian, conscious of the difference in age between herself and her lover, muses over the passing time, growing old and men’s inconstancy. Renee Fleming, who sings one of her signature roles as the Marschallin, received the warmest applause from the audience. Her opposite Elina Garanca as Octavian made her first North-American performance as the impulsive young title character, who easily changed an object of his feelings from Marschallin to Sophie, the young daughter of a wealthy arms dealer.
The intrigue begins when Baron Ochs, the Marschallin’s country cousin, who is engaged to Sophie meets Octavian, who is disguised as a chambermaid to avoid discovery in the Marschallin’s bedroom, makes advances towards “her’. The Marschallin is appalled at the thought of the rude Ochs marrying an innocent girl. In the second act on behalf of Ochs, Octavian presents Sophie with a customary silver engagement rose and two of them instantly fall in love. Sophie, who has never met the Baron before, is shocked by her fiancé manners and refuses to marry him. Octavian determines to teach the Baron a lesson, setting up a rendezvous as the “chambermaid”. In the final scene, Octavian takes off his disguise, Ochs admits defeat and leaves, Octavian and Sophie are united, as the Marschallin with dignity wonders how she lost her lover so suddenly.
The additional attraction of Fathom events are interviews with its cast, crew and production teams. The host during Der Rosenkavalier’s intermissions was Matthew Polenzani, who makes a small appearance here as Italian singer.
Set Designer, Paul Steinberg and Costume Designer Brigitte Reiffenstuel have brilliantly succeeded in creating stunning sets of time at the end of Habsburg empire led by the vibrant conducting of Maestro Sebastian Weigle.
Once again, Fathom Events in cooperation with the Metropolitan Opera, has offered appreciative audiences world-wide an incomparable opera experience for which we are all grateful.
