Lenovo Motorola Moto Z is an amazing new Smartphone, with Greybus (watch the video that I filmed with Greg Kroah-Hartman on their Greybus development for Google’s discontinued Project Ara) based data and hot-swappable power pogopin docking technology on an ultra-thin Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Smartphone design, with options to dock a TI DLP Pico Projector MotoMod, a Hasselblad True Zoom Photo/Video Camera, JBL SoundBoost Speaker and the Incipio offGRID Power Pack, all MotoMods that customizes and expands the functionalities of a Smartphone. An absolutely fascinating potential evolution for the Smartphone market, Motorola is developing a potentially amazing ecosystem for future-proof MotoMods that can turn your Smartphone into a Project, into a point-and-shoot quality Camera, into an amazingly loud Speaker and that can expand its battery life easily. All these MotoMods are magnetically locked onto the back of the Moto Z. Now Motorola is also releasing the Moto Mods Development Kit to enable third parties to develop new MotoMods for the Moto Z, for example I hope someone makes an ultra-thin E Ink Mobius (flexible, plastic and non-glass) display for the back-size of the smartphone, a Kent Displays CH-LCD based notes taking back case and a LapDock Laptop Dock to use the Moto Z to power the Ultra-thin Laptop dock and desktop dock. The functionalities of Moto Z can also expand through the TurboPower fast charging USB Type C which I have used with USB Type C to SD card adapter, for example to upload videos from my SD card to YouTube. The possibilities with the Moto Z ecosystem are very, very interesting. But for these to get the attention of the consumers worldwide, I think that Lenovo/Motorola needs to lower the price of the bundles to around $599 for the phone including the Projector MotoMod, $699 including Projector and E Ink MotoMod, $349 or $399 for the Moto Z by itself (instead of the current $699). $699 should also be a bundle to include an ultra-thin and ultra-light small bezel 13.3″ Laptop Dock and Desktop Dock MotoMod and with the appropriate Remix OS like Android implementation through Android Nougat to support full Android Powered Productivity on the external display.

Kickstarter: iLepo i30 3D earphones with DSP technology
Now launched on Kickstarter iLepo i30 is Industry’s first Digital 3D earphones with DSP technology for automatic 3D space generation for any audio content. iLepo 3D’s audio processing algorithm adds spatial distribution to the sound, reconstructing the source audio in a 3D space, making the experience different compared with normal single level, two-channel stereo sound, providing a better 3D sense of space and surround audio. iLepo 3D audio Algorithm distributes the sound into 3D spaces and rebuilds them by automatically adding and substracting tiny sound delays and sound response algorithms separately in each ear to realize an experience that “feels like being there” reproducing the experience of sound coming from directions around the user, creating a new experience in listening of music, movies and games on any device.

3D Audio Standard: ECMA-407 by Swissaudec
Smart transmitting of 3D audio up to unrestricted NHK 22.2 sound, a problem Swissaudec solved with ECMA-407: NHK 22.2 sound is built with 24 channels, 22 speaker channels and 2 subwoofer channels, consuming 28’800kb/s bandwidth in PCM. With ECMA-407 Swissaudec provides the solution to compress this amout of data up to 600 times – holding the world record in audio compression! By internally multiplexing additional 2kb/s, they extend any HD 5.1 or 7.1 carrier to transmit UHD audio up to NHK 22.2. Swissaudec showcases NHK 22.2 satellite transmission over an MPEG-4 7.1 network at 256kb/s together with SES and France Télévision. Contrarily to non-backwards-compatible standalone standards like MPEG-H or ATSC, Swissaudec invisibly extends existing 2D structure by ECMA-407 to work seamlessly with any existing audio codec. This is also the reason why streaming NHK 22.2 audio with ECMA-407 requires no network changes, as a most efficient, smart and easy UHD audio solution, broadcasters can consider this upgrade for their sound.
