  • Hummin' 3.03 Usage Demo

 

The 'FingerVU 1016W' wireless touch monitor, included in the ‘Hummin’ Wireless HTPC' transfers high-quality audio/video signals and control signals at an ultra-high speed through the 'FingerVU WUD' wireless USB dongle set, the world’s first device to employ the latest Ultra-wideband wireless technology. Using the ultra-high speed transfer, the wireless touch monitor can also be used as a virtual keyboard, mouse and remote control displayed on the screen, instead of the cumbersome traditional keyboard and mouse in the living room.

SoundGraph, Inc. also announced the 'HD Frame', a new user interface which can be manipulated by touching the monitor or with a remote control, with the release of the ‘Hummin’ Wireless HTPC'. The 'HD Frame' is a new media center application supporting both screens of the ‘FingerVU 1016W’ wireless monitor and a Full HDTV at the same time. Unlike the other media center applications, favorite music, movies and pictures can be registered on the initial screen for anytime quick playback, and the media can easily be searched only by touching the monitor or with Top/Down/Left/Right keys on the remote control.

On the other side, an official of SoundGraph, Inc. said, “The Hummin’ Wireless HTPC (Barebone) can be used in various commercial places such as restaurant, hospital, hotel room and department store, wherever a media playback or a product/service advertisement is needed, in addition to the ease of building personal home theater system in the living room.”
