Toshiba's booth at Hall 21

oshiba's booth at Hall 21 was an interesting walkthrough of various industries that Toshiba is involved in - from memory cards, robotics, notebooks, its new REGZA TVs to HD DVD solutions (covered in detail previously).

For its REGZA TVs, Toshiba showcased its new WLT68 series, which follows on the popular WLT66 series launched earlier this year. Featuring three models - 32", 37" and 42" - these 1366 x 768 resolution models are one of the first 100Hertz HD LCD TVs in the world. The company is also the first to market with no fewer than THREE HDMI inputs (2 rear inputs, 1 side input). Based on Toshiba's Active Vision M100 technology, the WLT68 series creates a smoother motion on screen as the input signal is scanned 100 times a second versus conventional LCD TVs which are mainly based on 50Hz.

We're not sure if Toshiba developed this cute robot but it's called the "Ear AriAlpha V3" robot and what it does is that it has an auditory function that detects verbal orders from plural users from any direction. It has 6 microphones that allow it to listen to sound from a 360-degree radius, and executes its tasks based on a prioritization process.
