Selokhu kwakhululwa i-iPad ethandwayo yakwa-Apple, abathuthukisi bebelokhu bekhala ukuze bakhe isikrini sesibili esifanelekile. Manje, ngaphezu kweminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela u-Steve Jobs ethule i-iPad yokuqala esiteji, i-Astro HQ kungenzeka ukuthi yaphula ikhodi.
Inkampani—abanye abangase bayikhumbule njengabadali bayo I-Astropad, insiza yokuguqula i-iPad yakho ibe ithebhulethi yezithombe efana ne-Wacom ye-Mac—esanda kumemezela insiza yabo entsha ye-Luna Display yokushintsha noma iyiphi i-iPad ibe i-hi-fidelity, isibonisi sesibili esingenantambo se-Mac. Yebo—lokhu kusho (okulindelekile) ukuxhumana okungenamthungo phakathi kwezibonisi ezimbili ongazipakisha ku-racksack.
Itholakalela i-Mini DisplayPort noma i-USB-C, i-Luna imisa ngokushesha futhi isebenza ngenethiwekhi ekhona ye-Wi-Fi. Amandla wangempela ngemuva kwe-Luna, nokho, ukuthi iwathola amandla ayo ngokuqondile ekhadini lemifanekiso elikhona—kunokuligqekeza ukuze linike amandla isibonisi esilingisiwe njengezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza emakethe.
“Sithuthukise i-Luna ngoba sasazi ukuthi kunesixazululo esingcono kunokuthembela kuhlelo lokusebenza ukuze siguqule i-iPad ibe isibonisi sesibili,” kuchaza abasunguli be-Astro HQ uMat Ronge noGiovanni Donelli, abake basebenza njengonjiniyela kwa-Apple.
“Izinhlelo zokusebenza zesofthiwe zigqekeza ngokoqobo ikhadi lakho lezithombe, ziletha isithombe esibi nesingathembekile. Isoftware ikhohlisa iMac yakho ukuthi icabange ukuthi isibonisi sinamathiselwe, kanti empeleni ayitholi nzuzo yokusheshisa ihluzo noma ukwesekwa kweMetal GPU. Kufana nokuthenga imoto bese usebenzisa ingxenye yenjini kuphela. Ngakho ngokungafani nezinhlelo zokusebenza zesofthiwe, i-Luna ihlanganisa amandla aluhlaza ekhadi lakho lezithombe, ikunikeza inzuzo ephelele yokusheshisa kwezithombe zayo - iletha imonitha yesibili emangalisayo engenazintambo ezingu-100%.
U-Donelli no-Ronge sebevele benze imali engaphezu kuka-$350K (nomgomo wokuqala ka-$30K) futhi basalelwe isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga nesigamu ukwenza lokho. Umkhankaso we-kickstarter.
Ukucabanga ukuthi sesihambe ibanga elingakanani eminyakeni embalwa nje—kusuka ezindaweni zokusebenza zedeskithophu exakile kuya ezitudiyo eziphathwayo zojosaka—kuyisenzo ngokwako. Sethemba kuphela ukuthi i-Astro HQ ingaletha izimpahla lapho i-Luna Display ekugcineni iba bukhoma.
Yiba phakathi kwabokuqala kulayini lapho begcina bethula (kulinganiselwa ukuthi kuzoba ngoMeyi 2018) kusukela ku-$65 kuphela.
