Panasonic Lumix FX77 Beautifying Camera


New Camera Will Beautify You?

Panasonic's new cam will even add makeup to your face


The LUMIX FX77 has a “beauty re-touch” function that will deliver on the traditional “beauty” front – it whitens teeth, removes dark eye circles, makes your face look smaller, your skin more translucent and your eyes bigger.

Cosmetic Mode

The Cosmetic Mode allows to take portraits with favored skin color (soft skin, natural skin, summer look) and degree of transparency of skin detail (low, standard, high). This makes it possible to take portraits with different impression of skin. For example, you can look yourself suntanned even if you’re not, or you can defocus the unwanted wrinkles or mottles like having underlight for studio photoshoot.

Beauty Retouch Mode

The Beauty Retouch Mode makes it possible to virtually makeup the faces. In Esthetic Mode, various effects can be applied to the face including clearing the skin texture, whitening of teeth and so on. In the Make-up Mode, you can choose the color of foundation, lips, cheeks or eye-shadow.

Panasonic Lumix FX77 – the first digital camera with integrated beauty parlour  - The Red Ferret Journal

The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77 is more than just a conventional 12.1 megapixel point and shoot digital camera. It’s the first digicam to feature an integrated beauty salon, which uses face recognition to let you edit your subject’s face in camera. In this regard, it’s clearly the first salvo in a fight back by the dedicated camera makers against mobile phone cameras stealing their market share.

Panasonic and Japan’s IRT Research Institute are working on an efficient dishwashing robot they call KAR (Kitchen Assistant Robot). The robot arm has 18 different sensors in its hand. These sensors help the robot to determine the shape and size of the dishes, and to pick a single object from a stack of dishes. The prototype has worked well till now, and the people associated with the project believe a production version could be available in about five years.

Panasonic's 3D Full HD Plasma Theater System



Panasonic announced that it has developed the world's first 3D full HD Plasma Theater System. The system uses a plasma television and a Blu-ray Disc player capable of decoding and playing back 3D images. To experience the 3D effect a user wears eyeglasses with liquid crystal shutters.

The system displays 3D images based on the field sequential method in combination with active 3D glasses manufactured by XPAND. Specifically, images for right and left eyes are switched over and alternately displayed for every frame, while synchronously blocking the vision on the opposite side by the liquid crystal shutter.

Thus, the system can provide different images for right and left eyes. While the method using passive glasses results in a lower resolution, the latest system with the active glasses has an advantage to display 3D images without sacrificing the resolution. But the luminance of the 3D images is reduced to 1/4 of that of the standard 2D images.
