Computex 2017: A Nerd’s Guide to This Year’s Tech Extravaganza
We’re almost there – two days and the planet’s biggest hardcore tech extravaganza will throw its doors wide open. Held in Taipei every year, Computex is THE tech trade show to visit if you are a nerd, geek, tech enthusiast, and the likes.
We will be running around Taipei an getting you info on the latest PC products and components. Last year was relatively fruitful, thanks to the VR explosion. Several PC brands rolled out high-end GPUs or affordable ones capable of running VR.
Acer recently announced a refreshed range of PCs and notebooks at its Next@Acer event in New York earlier this month. The company is expected to show off these products at Computex as well, which include the Nitro 5 gaming laptop and the Acer Spin 1 2-in-1 laptop, along with new Android tablets with Quantum Dot displays.
AMD has already announced a press conference around Computex. The company will show off its new Vega graphics chip architecture at the event. After the success it has had with its Ryzen range of processors, we expect the company to talk a bit more about its Ryzen 9 Threadripper series. The new chips will compete with Intel’s supposed Core i9 line of high-end chips. Threadripper will come rocking 16-core processors that may be slower than Ryzen 7 CPUs in frequency, but far more ready to handle multifaceted workloads.
Asus will also be holding its press conference around Computex, but we are yet to hear any details of what it might have up its sleeve. We are guessing the company will throw the spotlight on its gaming brand, Republic of Gamers (ROG). Rumours are also abound about its next Zenbook Flip, the UX370, and a gaming laptop powered by AMD’s Ryzen chip.
Intel is expected to focus on its Core i9 lineup of processors at Computex. According to various sources, this new series of Intel CPUs will include new Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X models ranging from octa-core to dodeca-core dies.
Nvidia meanwhile is keeping its secrets close to heart. But that hasn’t stopped the rumour-mill from spinning. Various news outlets suggest that Nvidia will focus on its Volta GPU architecture throughout Computex 2017.
Review Central will be at Computex Taipei throughout the show and we will bring you the latest and greatest in tech. Stay tuned!

Acer’s SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera Captures Moments and Experiences in Stereoscopic 3D

Acer has launched the SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo camera, its latest addition to its range of SpatialLabs 3D devices. The compact 3D camera can be used by photographers to capture stunning and stereoscopic images and view these in immersive 3D as it fully integrates with the SpatialLabs lineup of products. “The SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera completes Acer’s stereoscopic 3D portfolio, providing solutions from content capturing and creation, to display and interaction,” said Jerry Kao, COO, Acer Inc. “We hope to empower users to capture the world around them in stunning stereoscopic 3D through the new camera and we’re excited to see the possibilities and the amazing content they will be able to create and share.”
With 8 megapixels per eye resolution, a built-in selfie mirror, and a weatherproof exterior, the pocket-sized Acer SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera is a great companion for capturing moments outdoors and during adventures. Its intuitive setup enhances shooting experiences with carefully calibrated lens alignment and an advanced optical system to photograph subjects with greater 3D depth and detail.
For effortless image taking, SpatialLabs Eyes is equipped with auto and touch focus capabilities, further enhanced with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) for smooth and steady footage. More seasoned photographers will appreciate the option for manual mode which provides flexibility to calibrate ISO, white balance, and shutter speed settings for better control of image output.
The camera’s outer material is glossed with a shale black coat, while its lens cap and selfie mirror enclosures are layered with aluminium lining to present a sophisticated look and feel. With its sleek appearance and innovative features, the Acer SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera has earned the praise of design experts and received the prestigious 2024 Red Dot and iF Design Awards.
The SpatialLabs 3D Camera goes beyond just capturing stunning images and videos in 3D. It enables real-time 3D streaming and storytelling, letting users share their 3D content live on YouTube and other streaming platforms with the new Acer SpatialLabs Player 3.0. Video chatting will be available through the SpatialLabs video call widget in Q3 that enables more engaging, high-resolution 3D video conferencing on apps such as Teams (1080p), Zoom (720p), and Google Meet (1080p), with customizable depth features available to add more layers of realism during calls.
Whether users are reviewing content on Acer SpatialLabs laptops or displays, VR/AR headsets, or even 3D projectors, the SpatialLabs Eyes helps present the richness and impact of their 3D content as intended. The camera also comes with a downloadable gallery feature so users can look back at their 3D portfolio and re-experience their immersive 3D journey. Acer has also announced an expanded array of developer tools, including the SpatialLabs Unreal 5.3 and Unity 2021.3 LTS and 2022.3 LTS plug-ins. These will be available to 3D creators starting in June.
In addition, the new SpatialLabs Model Viewer Pro application, which is fully compatible with SpatialLabs Pro devices, is also set to be launched. The application is designed to enhance the 3D content workflow and user experiences with new features tailored for commercial usability. Paired with its support for major 3D file formats and enhanced support on glTF, the new presentation mode enables developers to inspect, customize, and showcase a catalogue of models in sequence for viewing and customizations without the need to develop projects from scratch.
The application includes features such as adding a virtual turntable, overlays with their desired logos, and backgrounds, as well as customizations with their preferred HDRI. This also makes it an ideal solution for 3D installations in showrooms and professional presentations. For more details, please visit the SpatialLabs developer site. The Acer SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera (ASEC-1) will be available in EMEA in Q3, starting at $549.
