hey guys sharin back in here at the Panasonic booth at the first day of CES 2012 and I'm here to give you a quick tour of what's going on so as you can see this looks more like a warehouse in a booth because panasonic has a 10 going on this year starting with this beautiful amphitheater right behind me ok panasonic has over 60 televisions here with a theater to show off their passive 3d technology they're also partners with the Olympics this year so they want to show that off but let's make our way into the booth where Panasonic is showing off some of their eco ideas and one of them is the electric car so no they're not actually going to make the cars but they're bringing the technology that goes inside so they've got wireless charging and they're bringing that technology for manufacturers to implement and they also have an actual charging option but that's a future technology they're working on over here to my right you'll see there they've got their eco-home ideas so how can we make homes greener what kind of tech can we bring in there so they've got an actual home set up inside with the theater and doing some briefings about that but let's our make our way over here to the panasonic lumix area lumix is there actually their flagship brand for cameras and they really want to give you an in-depth experience of what's going on so to my right you'll see a beautiful wall of photos of taken on panasonic cameras and over here they've stepped it up a notch with their booth babes this year ok oh yeah it's pretty crowded this year whoops all right let's make our way over so as you can see they've got booth babes that can actually play soccer and why are they doing this because they want you to get a hands-on experience of what it might look like in real life if you were using their photos so here we go hopefully when these ladies kicks the ball and if they did you'd be able to boom shoot a photo and see just how fast that shutter speed is but let's make our way through this is probably the most crowded CES to get there about Oh a bazillion people here and to me it seems like they're all right here at the panasonic booth right now so let's go over here and show off some of the 3d camera technology so they're bringing 3d cameras to the home they want to put this on the shelves of best buy so for example here is one of their flagship 3d cameras it actually has two lenses right here for that 3d and you also have the option to take 2d phone and if you do you can use one lens for distant for far away photos and one lens for close-up so you're actually taking two photos at the same time okay over here they're showing you what those photos might actually look like once they're taking so um you've got the active 3d glasses to show you that here and then over here is their 3d camcorder technology again we're seeing 3d actually come into the homes making it available for just about anybody who wants to get their hands on it alright so out of the camera section let's make our weight down to the pianist the second level of the piano sonic booth yes panasonic has two levels this year it's that massive I have never seen anything like it so down the stairs we go and as you can see this entire section is really dedicated to the home theater we saw that announcement yesterday they're introducing some new features like myspace we'll see how that catches on but for now they're also introducing their first oh no problem I'm their first passive 3d technology so this is something that vizio and LG have done for a while it lets you use those theater 3d sorry guys hey just making our way through I'm going to use this theater 3d glasses or instead of the active ones i actually have mechanics inside so as we make our way through you I want to show you something that I'm really excited about that Panasonic is doing they want to bring together the home again this year at CES I'm really feeling that you know how can we bring all of our gadgets together how can we marry these so right over here at this booth and this guy is demoing here he's showing you how you can download the Panasonic iOS apps to not only control your TV like you would a remote but you can actually browse the web on your iPad and anything you see on your screen you can just flick over to your television but not only that if you have photos or videos that you shot on your iPad you can actually show those on the TV too so that really brings together you know all of your devices and all of the content that you have at home I'm kind of like airplay but Panasonic's version so I'm happy to see other people do that too now as we make our way over here we have some of Panasonic's plasmas again they're known for their plasmas but this year they're really bringing the 3d technology and most of their TVs interestingly enough have 2d to 3d conversion now with that built-in Wi-Fi VAT all their TVs have you can actually stream 2d content and convert it to 3d on the fly which i think is awesome because it kind of brings that 3d home a little bit more so over here you'll see the et/5 is their first LED LCD 3d TV that's over 42 inches and it's passive so again this is the first time Panasonic is getting to the passive 3d technology it's not as good you can't get as high resolution as you can with active 3d technology but but it's cheaper easier to produce and we're glad to see Panasonic do it so for Steve come here from the Panasonic booth I'm Sharon Vaknin and stay tuned for more live content coming up
