IDF Fall Moscow 2002: Light Field Mapping technology At IDF Fall Moscow 2002, specialists from Russian Intel software development center are to announce Light Field Mapping (LFM) technology, developed together with Intel research lab in Santa Clara, CA, and report its prospects.LFM is a method of interactive photorealistic visualization of 3D objects with complex reflective characteristics, based on real image processing. LFM is used to model object surface lighting using scanned images. LFM enables to digitally model and visualize any 3D objects and scenes (physical or virtual) for any viewing angle, considering the high-precision realistic surface lighting, topical for detailed real-time photorealism (for expample, cinema or gaming).
 LFM idea is that the surface of modelled 3D object is mapped as different light fields. LFM utilizes these light fields and visualizes them through a graphics card. LFM models support stepwise visual quality improvement, being suitable for network transfers.
 Currently Intel works on LFM standardization. In the near future most 3D software is expected to support this format. These are some AVI examples of LFM technology:

6650: the first GSM/UMTS phone from Nokia 
Nokia officially announced its first next-generation Nokia 6650, featuring a color screen, Java, MMS support, a built-in digital cam, capable of working in both GSM, and new W-CDMA (3G). At that GSM and UMTS modules are located on the same chip.
Nokia 6650 screen supports up to 4096 colors, a built-in digital VGA cam (turned on by opening lens cover) is capable of shooting still images and up to 20-sec movies, that can be sent to other subscribers over MMS. The phone weighs 141 g. The phone is also provided with WAP 1.2.1 browser, supports Java, polyphony, e-wallet features. Besides, 6650 support multitasking. Interfaces include USB, Bluetooth, infra-red port; the phone also supports GPRS (class 6) and HSCSD (class 6). According to Nokia, in UMTS mode, data incoming data throughput makes 128 Kbps, outgoing — up to 64 Kbps. 6650 features a calendar, Outlook-synched notebook. The additional software enables photo browsing, Nokia PC Suite enables short movie playback. Battery provides 2h20m (UMTS) or 2h40m (GSM) operation and up to a fortnight in the idle mode. Nokia 6650 sales will start in H1 2003, the expected price is $734.60. This HDW-2 Bluetooth hands-free on the photo is another novelty from Nokia.
 EPoX announces two NVIDIA nForce2 motherboards Today EPoX announced two new Socket A motherboards on the new NVIDIA nForce2 chipset: EP-8RGA+ and EP-8RDA+. Both support AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron with up to 333 MHz FSB (officially), both have AGP 8x slot, 6 PCI slots, 3 DIMM sockets (up to 3GB DDR SDRAM PC3200), 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 LAN ports (on-chipset and Realtek RTL8201L / ICS1893AF), 6-channel audio (Realtek ALC650), optional IEEE1394a. EP-8RGA+ features ATX design and bases on NVIDIA nForce2 IGP (integrated Geforce 4MX) + nForce2 MCPT bundle.
 EP-8RDA+ features ATX design as well and bases on discrete NVIDIA nForce2 SPP + nForce2 MCP bundle. Both boards support hardware monitoring, CPU core / memory / AGP slot voltage setting through BIOS, and have P80P Diagnostic system on two LEDs.
