LabVIEW on Television

For years, we have periodically been excited and surprised about our products showing up on TV shows.  However, recently it seems to be a happening more often.  For your viewing pleasure, go check out LabVIEW on the small screen:

• CBS 60 Minutes ran a story last night entitled “Cold Fusion is Hot Again” in which researcher Michael McKubre makes the case for a bright future involving cold fusion.  You will notice a bunch of LabVIEW measurement and control applications shown during the interview.
• Spike TV has a new show called the Deadliest Warrior in which the pit two famous warriors against each other and try to measure which one is the deadliest.  They are using DIAdem extensively to analyze the measurement results to determine the deadliest.  It’s a cool show with lots of gory details attempting to simulate real-life impact of these deadly weapons (in one episode, they attempt to slice through 4 huge pigs with one fell swoop of a samarai sword – the pigs simulating humans.  I’ll let you watch the episode to see how far they get).l
• And finally, one of my kids’ favorites is Discovery Channel’s MythBusters.  In an upcoming episode, the MythBusters team uses LabVIEW to control and measure one of the experiments – I’ll have to update this link once the episode goes live.
