Bangs Garcia and Dawn Jimenez’ Bomb-Tastic UNO Magazine Covers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Celebrities Bangs Garcia and Dawn Jimenez graced the autograph signing of the latest issue of UNO Magazine with them on the cover at Powerbooks Greenbelt. Fans came earlier and start lining up the second floor of the bookstore.

As the two ladies arrived with UNO magazine editor-in-chief RJ Ledesma , cameras started to click right and left , and guests were all excited to meet these cover girls in person. I must say they look great in person as they are in the magazine, can’t even believe they can pose daring in the magazine, since they are bubbly and sweet in person.

As RJ Ledesma greeted everyone and introduced Bangs and Dawn, he does a bit of some personal interviews and asked the audience if they have questions as well. Members of the audience (fans and writers) asked questions on their career and some personal stuffs. We found out that Bangs is also a painter and Dawn is a culinary student, very interesting.

Epson’s Moverio to Be Used to Test Opera Subtitle Delivery System

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Seiko Epson Corporation (SEC) is partnering with the Japanese New National Theatre Foundation (NNTF), Information Services International - Dentsu, Ltd., and Zimaku+ Inc. to test an opera subtitle delivery system. The system will be tested from February 28 to March 2 during performances by the New National Theatre Opera Studio in Japan. Selected guests will be able to follow the performances with subtitles projected onto the see-through lenses of Epson's new Moverio BT-200 smartglasses.

Operas are commonly sung in Italian or German, so opera houses often install large LED displays in front of the stage wings to provide subtitles during performances. The problem with these systems, however, is that operagoers have a hard time immersing themselves in the performance because they are constantly taking their eyes off the stage to read the subtitles.

Epson and its partners have created and will test the practical potential of a more convenient subtitle system that they hope solves this problem. The new system takes advantage of the ability of the Epson Moverio BT-200, which can be worn like an ordinary pair of glasses, to display subtitles seemingly in the air while guests watch the action on the stage. Moverio BT-200 smartglasses will be loaned to selected guests who want a more natural opera viewing experience with line-of-sight subtitles.
