Entertainment Award Winner

"Top Gun: Maverick" movie
Upgrade of real scene film production technology
< em>Paramount Pictures, Skydance Media and Jerry Bruckheimer Film company​

We have long been used to it In addition to the computer special effects in the movie, when the Transformers fight to the death or aliens attack the earth, we know that it is all fake. "Top Gun 2" is released in May 2022. As a tribute to the first "Top Gun" 36 years ago, it is a "blast" in terms of visuals, sound effects and special effects. In particular, the large number of real-life flying shots are particularly hard-core.

​ Actors Filmed on real fighter jets, they were flying the F/A-18F "Super Hornet", the main model of the U.S. Navy (the U.S. military rejected the F-35 stealth carrier-based aircraft because it did not have a two-seat version. (appeared), when the fighter jet maneuvered at a speed of 650 kilometers/hour, Tom Cruise experienced a powerful g-value crushing him. To shoot the film, the production team turned to custom cameras carefully mounted in the cockpit, as well as a powerful L-39 CineJet aerial aircraft (equipped with a six-axis gyro-stabilized camera system) for air-to-air filming. Coupled with the real scenes shot on the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the USS Lincoln aircraft carriers, they all give this movie a rare excitement and realism.

​Although this The movie is still a product of Hollywood and utilizes CGI computer three-dimensional animation to a certain extent, but we still want to praise it for its commitment to capturing the "Fast and Furious" movie spirit in real scenes and bringing live-action shooting technology to a new level. .

Samsung Frame "painting wall" QLED 4K TV anti-reflective matte display
From TV to Art
< /span>Samsung Electronics Corporation
www.samsung.com

A few years ago , Samsung Electronics engineers came up with a creative idea to use a borderless, high-resolution large screen to display art paintings on the wall when not watching videos. But the problem lies in the TV's LCD panel, which reflects light, making the display of the old painting instantly recognizable as being on a screen rather than a canvas. The 2022 Frame "wall-painting" TV has an anti-reflective matte display. Despite major changes in technology, Samsung says it can still display 1 billion bright colors - even if the use scene becomes brighter. Picture details will be lost.

Sony LinkBuds true wireless headphones
The sounds of the world inside and outside are in your ears
Sony Corporation
https://www.sony.com/en/​

LinkBuds Stand The opposite of noise-canceling headphones, they deliberately let outside sounds pass into your ears. This semi-in-ear headphone adopts a ring-shaped hollow design and a specially developed new ring-shaped driver unit. High-performance neodymium magnets make the mid- and high-frequency sounds clear and the sound field wide. The digital-to-analog converter and amplifier on the integrated processor ensure stable audio transmission while reducing signal distortion. Since the hollow annular diaphragm does not occupy all the space of the ear, you can still hear the ambient sounds of the outside world - communicating with people and the honking of cars. This is not a bug, but a new feature for your safety.

Skydio 2+ Drone
Flight like never before
Skydio Corporation
www.skydio.com​

Skydio 2+ Drones are becoming the secret weapon of some commercial companies and defense customers. An artificial intelligence-driven flight autonomy software allows Skydio 2+ to make more than 500 adjustments per second, and a fisheye lens allows it to see its surroundings 360 degrees - identifying and avoiding any objects that may get in its way to avoid "falling" machine". Powered by a dual-core Nvidia chipset, Skydio 2+ is able to generate a 3D map model with more than 1 million data points per second, allowing creatives to program complex flight paths and tasks - such as key shots to be captured along the path, flight speeds , material collection - and then let Skydio2+ fly automatically and shoot 4K/60 fps video. It also comes with 18 (and probably more now) pre-set flight paths and programs, so even these most "basic moves" can make your videos look like a commercial blockbuster.
