One of the cool things about the 84" version is that it does 4K at 120 Hz. This allows for much lower touch and stylus latency. It is likely using custom internal hardware like the 5K iMac to do achieve that refresh rate so you are probably stuck with the built in GPU.

It is odd that the 55" is only 1080p when you have 55" 4K Vizio TV's going for $999.

Sorry to hear things didn't work out. I am curious to know more about your thoughts on VCs in Toronto versus those south of the border. Canadian VCs have this rep of being quite conservative, only wanting to invest at later stages when there is very little risk. Does your experience agree with this characterization?

The language support is quite impressive with support for latin, CJK and even indic scripts. Notable omissions include RTL scripts like Arabic and Hebrew.

"Please note, we are using a standard Xbox One Kinect without any hardware modifications. The sunglasses are optional and were originally used for anonymity, and partly tongue-in-cheek."

VLC is coming to Chrome OS soon thanks to ARC. Anandtech has tried out the beta version and it is coming along nicely. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9082/the-chromebook-pixel-2015...

> There are no native apps on ChromeOS

This is not correct, you can run native apps for Chrome OS via Native Client (NaCL) or App Runtime for Chrome (ARC).

VLC, a poster child for native apps, will be released for Chrome OS in a few months using ARC.

Anandtech has already tested a beta version: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9082/the-chromebook-pixel-2015...

Looks like this is the first 14nm Cherry Trail device with its fanless Quad-core Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor. Hopefully it will be a great CPU for HTPC use.

The 5G capabilities of the technology look amazing on paper. Hope it works out in the real world.

Those interested in more technical details should check out the whitepaper: http://www.rearden.com/artemis/An-Introduction-to-pCell-Whit...

Page 81 talks about pCell VR, their ideas about cloud based wireless VR tech.

Not necessarily, they are likely using the glove-less Handpose technology that Microsoft Research developed.
