Computex Taipei 2015 offers a glimpse of future technology

The 35th Computex Taipei, a high-profile trade show for the consumer electronics industry, will take place from June 2nd to 6th with more than 1,700 participating companies. Coming chiefly from the U.S., Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and China, the exhibitors will unfurl under one roof the blueprints for a technology-driven lifestyle that will dominate the next few years.

Conveying unique brand values and spirit at an integrated trade show

This year marks Delta's fourth consecutive appearance at the Computex show. Once again, the company seeks to communicate its brand spirit to the public as a highly capable product and solution provider. Delta has highlighted various themes at its Computex booth: the smart tree house theme in 2012 gave a conceptual testimonial not only to the interdependence and coexistence of man and nature but also to Delta’s commitment to environmental protection and its brand message “Smarter. Greener. Together”. Delta’s 2013 theme of the Sunshine Elementary School illustrated the net zero-carbon, energy-saving qualities green buildings. And Delta’s Smart Green House theme in 2014 simulated a lifestyle that is innovative, clean, energy-efficient and intelligent.

Smart Campus, the flipped classroom

Ever wonder what a "flipped classroom" is like? Visit the Delta booth at Computex and you will see educational applications embedded in a physical classroom or lab setting alongside smart, low-carbon solutions achieved through the company’s “Smart Campus” corporate-school partnerships. What sets Smart Campus apart from similar initiatives is that it helps schools manage energy use by tackling three key issues: energy consumption control, digital learning and energy efficiency education. It integrates Delta’s Intelligent Monitoring Management System (iPEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS) and green data center into an eco-friendly learning space. The cloud management platform is complete with interactive software/hardware and energy efficiency teaching materials and enhances campuses with smart features as well as reduces their carbon footprint.

Delta has built its 2015 booth layout around “Smart Campus” to further spread the ideas of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Tremendously inspired by his many teachers throughout his studies, and impressed with the global impact of MOOCs, Delta’s founder Bruce Cheng introduced DeltaMOOCx as a free platform that gives a wider body of learners access to competent instructors. The platform narrows the gap between urban and rural areas with improved availability of education resources. To address the glaring mismatch between graduate skills and industry needs, Delta also combines vocational MOOCs with the basic scientific concepts required for a competitive Taiwanese workforce

To augment MOOCs’ efficiency for disseminating information and open-source knowledge, the DeltaMOOCx Zone at Computex is going to offer, through creative projection mapping, an intellectual and visual tour de force with Qumi Q6, a portable wireless LED projector recently launched under Delta’s projector brand Vivitek.

Qumi Q6 is the centerpiece of Delta’s exhibit this year and it is also Vivitek’s flagship product in the projector segment of the consumer electronics market. Not only does this ultra-bright, 800-lumen HD projector have Miracast wireless display protocol compliance, it also boasts a chic compactness characteristic of the entire Qumi series. Visitors to the Delta booth can try Qumi Q6, which allows for wireless, unencumbered sharing of multimedia content between mobile devices.

Also on display at Computex will be the complete range of personal power management devices from Innergie, another consumer electronics brand of the Delta Group. The Innergie products include an ultra-compact, card-sized universal charger with built-in USB port that powers up a laptop and other devices simultaneously and quickly; the popular LifeHub, a USB power hub with an extended 4.5-meter charger cable that makes far-away power outlets a non-issue; and the wildly popular lipstick-sized PocketCell, available in five vibrant colors, that insures your mobile life will be uninterrupted.

With smartphone accessibility and internet infrastructure expanding rapidly, our world is embracing the Internet of Things, or IoT. Aspiring market-leaders are forced to abandon their one-dimensional thinking for product manufacturing and take on new roles, notably application and service innovators that merge hardware and software into one. Inspired by how Apple Watch shook up the global market in the first quarter this year, a new section of Computex Taipei 2015 will be dedicated to wearable technologies—eyewear, watches, clothing and e-paper for tech togs— from Taiwan and beyond.

Smart home and city technologies will be another highlight of the trade show. Google is making a foray into the home automation market after acquiring thermostat maker Nest. It will demonstrate some intelligent products and applications related to smart home solutions in the “Meet the Future” pavilion. As the urban population density rises, nurturing sustainable smart cities has been a priority of governments worldwide.

From smartphones, wearables, to smart homes and cities, mobile device developers have shifted their emphasis from individual users to cloud-based services (data storage, computing and control, data center networks, and information management, to name a few) and big data analysis/utilization that are crucial to intelligent living. Integration of such devices provides increasing efficiency while reducing waste.

All are welcome to drop by Delta’s booth on the 4th floor of the Nangang Exhibition Hall for insight into how the DeltaMOOCx works, how the company’s products and solutions stay on top of the game in the IoT age, and how we are all going to live and learn in the context of universal interconnectivity!
