Experience the World Through the Glass



Hey Guys! Did you like our previous post? Now Let's get to know more about the latest technology introduced by Google. Also checkout the review video at the end of the post.




 It's dream of creating wearable technology is far closer to release than anyone would have guessed : 'Google Glass'. What is Google Glass? Why is it attracting people's attention? What are its implications? How it feels to wear a Google Glass?  Let's take a quick look at all these aspects.

What Is Google Glass?

Google Glass is an attempt to free data from desktop computers and portable devices such as mobiles and tablets, and place it right in front of you. Essentially, Google Glass has a camera, display, touchpad, battery and microphone built into spectacle frames so that you can perch a display in your field of vision, film, take, pictures, search and translate on the go. Google Glass uses a display technology to put the data in front(upper right) of your vision in a prism screen. This is designed to be easily seen without obstructing your vision. According to Google the display is equivalent to a 25-inch high definition display that is 8 feet away.


What Can Google Glass Do?

Any function that requires you to look into the screen could be put in front of you. Controlling this data is the neat trick. With a microphone and a touchpad on one arm of the frame, you can do it with a brief gesture or by talking to the device, and Google Glass will interpret you commands. Google Glass can also provide sound with bone induction technology that vibrates your skull to produce sound which is less cumbersome than on a traditional headphones. It provides a 640 x 360 display and the built-in camera is 5MP that can film at 720p.

 Google Glass: what you need to know

Essentially the battery life is about a day which excludes a lot of videoing. The device will sync to your Google Drive on the cloud apart from which there is a flash memory of 16GB(12GB user storage). Bluetooth and WiFi are built-in but it has no GPS chip. So the glass will best work alongside an android phone although you can pair with any Bluetooth enabled phone. For this Google offers MyGlass app that pairs the Glass with your android phone. You can use the Google hangout software to video conference with your friends. Messages can be received, viewed on the display and answered using Goolge's voice-to-text functionality. This functionality will also bring the ability to translate the words spoken to you in your own language.

Google Glass: what you need to know


Third parties are also ready developing new and cool apps for the Glass. Considering its physical specs, the frame will come with a replacement, adjustable nosepads and a touchpad along one arm. It is also expected to be extremely light weight and extremely robust. There is a Micro USB and a charger in the developers version and all of the above specs will be available in the consumer version. Lastly Google Glass come in 5 colors: Charcoal, Tangerine, Shale, Cotton and Sky.



It's Implications?

Apart from its high costs ($1500), we believe that the Google Glass is a great breakthrough in the development of technology. It would also make people's life easier and faster with this revolutionary wearable technology. If you are worrying that you may not be able to use the glass because you wear glasses, then you are wrong. You need not worry as Google has models that include prescription lenses and stylish shades. Ultimately, the Google Glass will be something that will change lifestyles of people.

Amazon has come up with a new product that really does not have any current equivalent from other tech companies - the Amazon Echo. Amazon Echo is a voice activated, cloud-connected speaking for your living room. With 7 microphones embedded in the top of its 9.25 inch, tower-like design, it promises to hear you from anywhere in the room. Ask it to stream music, to set an alarm or any information and it will respond with what you want.

Features

The cylindrical device has room filling sound,and seven microphones on top which use beam forming technology to pinpoint your voice and ensure it can hear you no matter where you're speaking from in a room - so you really don't have to shout at it. To wake it up, you'll address it as "Alexa", the system's activation word. However, Amazon's plans on adding additional activation words. It also filters out all background noises including the music to hear your commands and processes it via Amazon's cloud-based web servers, which means that it will get better at identifying requests and responding to commands over time.

 It has a 360-degree firing speaker, and it works with both Bluetooth from your device, bringing in services like Spotify and Pandora into play, as well as built-in support for playback of music from Amazon Music Library, Prime Music, TuneIn and iHeartRadio. You can also get news and weather information from local radio, NPR, ESPN via TuneIn, and other sources. It'll answer queries and provide basic information from Wikipedia, and even convert units on the fly.

Amazon's shipping a dedicated Echo app to go with the speaker, which runs on Fire OS and Android, and a web-based app for iOS via Safari. You can use this app to set up your service and check information you input via the speaker, like monitoring your alarms, checking reminders and shopping lists you create.

Pricing

Amazon's Echo is available at an introductory cost of $199. But if you're an Amazon Prime members  you can buy it for $99, for a limited time. If you want to buy it then the you need to request an invitation from Amazon to be ordered.


This product is fairly unique among the major tech company products. The Echo is also intriguing and will likely gain popularity. If this thing gets a wider connectivity to the growing category of smart devices like Philips Hue connected Bulbs and Nest's learning thermostat, then you could see it shifting to become a whole-home smart hub.

Going on a long flight and all you have is to look outside the small peephole ? people, those days might be coming to an end, with developers in UK and Paris creating high resolution OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens to make to enjoy the world around you, as you travel 
But,if a window seat is enough to make you nervous on a flight, you might want to avoid a new kind of plane that could fly in as soon as a decade.
UK-based tech innovation company Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) hopes to be among the first to design a windowless aircraft. Instead of windows, the plane would have high-definition, flexible screens to show what's happening outside, as it soars through the air.

In other words, there are no actual windows in the plane's passenger section; the displays create the illusion that the cabin walls are transparent.
The concept for windowless aircrafts with displays isn't entirely new. A Paris-based company has a similar project in development, and there's also a design in the works for a windowless jet. But CPI believes the vision could become a reality within 10 years.
The imaging you'd see from the panels would come from mounted cameras outside of the aircraft that the developers say could offer an unobstructed panoramic view, meaning no visible wings or engines. Users could adjust the settings and use the displays for in-flight services, the company said.
The plane would use OLED screens (a high-end, thin-film display technology) with protective coatings made to preserve the displays for its lifetime.
Passengers would also be able to see and set their screen to show a live stream of outside surroundings from a completely different portion of the plane.
But this isn't just about a sleek new flight experience. CPI has made some pretty substantial claims about what this sort of technology could do for the flight industry. For starters, the plane walls would be thinner, more lightweight and stronger than what we have now.

If you've ever been on a long flight, you've probably wanted to tune out your fellow passengers -- and plugging in some headphones is only going to do so much. If Airbus ever brings a recently patented helmet display to market, though, you may never have to put up with mid-air distractions again. The headrest-mounted wearable would combine headphones with visor-projected video, producing "sensorial isolation" while you're watching movies, listening to music or playing games. It could even beam a virtual keyboard on to the tray or seat back, so you wouldn't need controllers that take up your already limited space.
If you think this all sounds too good to be true, you'd be right -- at least, for now. Airbus tells Wired that there aren't any current plans to outfit aircraft with a helmet like this. The company is mostly protecting ideas so that a rival doesn't try this first. A projected visor display isn't likely to be cheap, either, given that it's the sort of technology normally reserved for fighter jets. Even so, it's good to know that at least one aircraft maker could use technology to make your long-haul trips a little more bearable.

So, recently the iphone 6 was released, as Apple's effort to revive the falling sales. But, today, when a person goes to buy a phone, one of the major things he/she considers is the "features" the phone has.Well, after the so called "laptop age", we have the "phone revolution" wherein, we have become obsessed with the things that come bundled with the phone we buy.
But, in the closed domain of thinking a typical type of phone goes unnoticed.
The Pomegranate NS08, which comes loaded with REAL TIME FEATURES!!
Let's check it out!

(P.S. In a hurry to read? well watch the video at the end of this post, and you can get the glance of all the features.)

LCD Projector 

The phone can project anything from a movie to a business presentation on a 72 inch format in FULL HD. 

Well, that's one feature you don't see in everyday devices...




Global Voice Translator

Scared to go to countries like China , because you would get lost, as you don't understand the head or foot of chinese?, People, we're in the 21st century, and this device has a voice translator.
Well, that's another feature you don't see in everyday devices...





Coffee Brewer

So, here's the 'Boss' reason why this phone outdoes all the other "giants" in the world. It comes with a coffee brewer. Check it out yourself:

Hey Guys! Hope you liked our previous post. I was browsing through the web and found this new invention really cool. We know how tiring it is to work in a factory, warehouse, restaurant kitchen and to stand in queues and in long distance travel in trains or buses. Keeping this in mind a Swiss start-up Noonee has created a Chairless Chair. Worn as an exoskeleton on the back of the legs, it lets you walk or even run as needed, but can be locked into a supporting structure when you go into a sitting position.


Company CEO Keith Gunura started developing the Chairless Chair in 2009, when he was a student in the Bioinspired Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich research  institute. He was inspired to do so by memories of his 1st job, in which he worked while standing long hours in the packaging line.

The latest prototype, fashioned out of aluminium and carbon fiber, weighs around 2 kilograms and is good for around 24 hours of use. The device utilizes a powered variable damper to support the wearer's body weight. The user simply bends their to get himself/herself down to the level at which he/she would like to sit, and then engage the damper. The Chairless Chair then locks into that configuration, directing their weight down to the heels of their shoes, to which it is attached. It is also attached to the thighs via straps and to the waist using a belt.

The Chairless Chair is much more desirable due to the ability to turn it on and off, and the ability to accommodate a range of sitting positions. Noonee's co-founder Bryan Anastisiades tells CNN, "In addition to resting your leg muscles, it also provides optimal posture." Also the CFO tells, "At the moment we are getting a lot of interest and e-mails from all kinds of people who want use the Chairless Chair in very different areas. Our focus at the moment is the factory environments."

Hey Guys, this post is different from the other posts as it is about one of our own projects. We created a device called the BLINAV. From the name it is apparent that we created it to help blind people navigate to their destination. It was created by a group of 5 people : Siddharth (Admin), Rahul (Admin), Amith, Madhan (Admin), Vikram. We also figured out that a similar model was created by a student from the Rajasthan University, whose model also gave us a few ideas.

The aim of this project is for a social cause. The objective of this project is to help the blind and make them independent so that they could lead a life of normal people. This idea erupted when I found a blind looking out for favor to cross the road and lead him to his destination. It all started with the thought that a sensor could be used to detect obstacles and send the response to an output device.



Arduino is the standard way that connectors are exposed, allowing the CPU board to be connected to a variety of interchangeable add-on modules. Hence, we kept Arduino as a base of our project. Our model of the shoe contains two proximity sensors(one on the front and one on the outer side), one micro controller i.e. the Arduino board and 3 vibrational motors on each shoe. The micro controller is programmed as per the requirement which controls all the components of the shoe which are connected to the board.

When the blind person wears the shoe and encounters an obstacle the proximity sensors on his shoes will sense the obstacle and sends a signal to the micro controller which in turn sends the signal to the vibrational motor, placed under the sole, as programmed. Based on the vibration of the vibrational motor, the person will know the position of the obstacle.  This way it will help the blind person navigate through the obstacles and also since the board is programmed to be connected to GPS of the phone, it will also help the person to move to his destination. So a total of 4 sensors, two micro controllers and a few vibrational motors all on a pair of shoes will help a blind person navigate which we call BLINAV.

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formulated a new theory that proves that magnets are capable of acting as wireless cooling agents and may be used in the future to cool laptops and refrigerators.

The theory describes the motion of magnons. Magnons are quasi-particles in magnets that are collective rotations of magnetic moments, also known as 'spins'. These magnons are also known to conduct heat. Scientists revealed that when these magnons come in contact with a magnetic field gradient, they tend to move from one end of a magnet to another, while carrying heat with them and subsequently producing a cooling effect.

Bolin Liao, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering, said that heat can be pumped from one side to another, therefore allowing one to use the magnet as a refrigerator. This opens up the doors for the possibility of wireless cooling, where a magnetic field is applied to a magnet a few meters away in order to cool a laptop or a refrigerator. Unlike conventional refrigerators that keep cool by pumping fluid through a set of pipes, a magnetically driven refrigerator would require no moving parts whatsoever.    

Liao and his colleagues devised two new equations to describe magnon transport. Using these equations, the scientists predicted a new magnon cooling effect, which was similar in nature to the thermoelectric cooling effect. In the thermoelectric cooling effect, magnons may carry heat from one end of a magnet to the other when they were exposed to a magnetic field gradient.


The properties of a common magnetic insulator were used to model the manner in which this magnon cooling effect would work in existing magnetic materials. While this effect was found to be small, a cooling effect was generated by the material in response to a moderate magnetic field gradient. At cryogenic temperatures, this effect was found to be more significant.

Legally, a blind person is one "who is incapable of recognising the object( in terms of colour perception )." But, in today's technology, there has been a lot of inventions to restore the vision of the blind , apart from the conventional eye transplant . So, the new technology in the town is a device called "BrainPort"  which helps partially restore vision for a person with the help of his tongue. Confused? , let's see it,

Reality is, 

Neuroscientist Paul Bach-y-Ritahypothesized in the 1960s that "we see with our brains not our eyes." Now, a new device trades on that thinking and aims to partially restore the experience of vision for the blind and visually impaired by relying on the nerves on the tongue's surface to send light signals to the brain.

So, how does "Brainport" actually function?

About two million optic nerves are required to transmit visual signals from the retina—the portion of the eye where light information is decoded or translated into nerve pulses—to the brain's primary visual cortex. 
  • With BrainPort, the device being developed by neuroscientists at Middleton, Wisc.–based Wicab, Inc., visual data are collected through a small digital video camera about 1.5 centimeters in diameter that sits in the center of a pair of sunglasses worn by the user. Bypassing the eyes, the data are transmitted to a handheld base unit, which is a little larger than a cell phone. This unit houses such features as zoom control, light settings and shock intensity levels as well as a central processing unit (CPU), which converts the digital signal into electrical pulses—replacing the function of the retina.
  • From the CPU, the signals are sent to the tongue via a "lollipop," an electrode array about nine square centimeters that sits directly on the tongue. Each electrode corresponds to a set of pixels. White pixels yield a strong electrical pulse, whereas black pixels translate into no signal. Densely packed nerves at the tongue surface receive the incoming electrical signals, which feel a little like Pop Rocks or champagne bubbles to the user.
  • It remains unclear whether the information is then transferred to the brain's visual cortex, where sight information is normally sent, or to its somatosensory cortex, where touch data from the tongue is interpreted, Wicab neuroscientist Aimee Arnoldussen says. "We don't know with certainty," she adds.

The challenge of "rehacking" vision

The key to the device may be its utilization of the tongue, which seems to be an ideal organ for sensing electrical current. Saliva there functions as a good conductor, Seiple said. Also it might help that the tongue's nerve fibers are densely packaged and that these fibers are closer to the tongue's surface relative to other touch organs. (The surfaces of fingers, for example, are covered with a layer of dead cells called stratum corneum.)

"Many people who have acquired blindness are desperate to get their vision back," Nau says. Although sensory substitution techniques cannot fully restore sight, they do provide the information necessary for spatial orientation. Along with the blind, the BrainPort could help people with visual defects such as glaucoma, which leads to the loss of peripheral vision, and macular degeneration, which degrades sight at the center of the visual field.

If you have ever tried to watch a video on the tablet on a sunny day, you know you have to tilt it at just the right angle to get rid of glare or invest in a special filter. But now scientists are reporting that they have developed a novel glass surface that reduces glare and reflection, which continue to plague even the best mobile displays today.



Research is being done in the field of anti-reflective and anti-glare technology. In the highly competitive digital age, any bonus feature on a device gives it an edge. But for the most part, that hasn't included an integrated anti-glare, anti-reflective display. Users still typically have to dish out extra cash for a filter or film.

Some of the questionable effectiveness - to lay on top of their glass screens so that they can use the devices in bright light. One of the most promising developments include layering anti-reflective nano-structures on top of an anti-glare surface. But the existing technique doesn't work well with glass, the material of choice for many electronic displays, so Pruneri's team at ICFO (The Institute of Photonic Sciences) set out to find a new method.



On a very fine scale, they roughened a glass surface so it could scatter light and off glare but without hurting the glass's transparency. Then the researchers etched nano-sized teeth into the surface to make it anti-reflective. In addition to achieving both of these visual traits, the researchers showed the textured surface repelled water, mimicking a lotus leaf. Although the anti-glare roughening protects the nano-sized teeth, further research is needed to ensure that the surface can withstand heavy touchscreen use. This is inexpensive and can easily be scaled up for industry use.

Although Fahlberg's poor hygiene would be considered a nightmare for most lab practices today, his discovery expanded consumers' choices in the food industry.

Artificial sweeteners surely top the invention list for those of you with a sweet tooth. But do you know the story of how saccharin, one of the first sweeteners, came to be?
Working in the lab of Ira Remsen at Johns Hopkins University, Constantine Fahlberg discovered saccharin by chance in 1879 while synthesizing other chemicals. As was the case with other accidental inventors, Fahlberg unknowingly carried some of his work home with him on his hands.
While eating at home, he noticed that his bread tasted particularly sweet, even though no sugar had been added to his meal. Connecting the dots, Fahlberg realized that the sweetness originated from the substance he was working with in the lab. After running more tests on the strange, sugary substance, Fahlberg patented saccharin independently -- a decision that angered Remsen, who had collaborated with Fahlberg to create the compound.
Years later, saccharin can be found in many products, including the popular artificial sweetener Sweet'N Low or SugarFree. Since saccharin is not metabolized by the body, it's virtually a non-calorie option. In reality, one gram of the sweetener contains less than five calories, which is usually reported as zero, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards. Saccharin appeals to people looking to sweeten food without sugar, especially those living with diabetes -- a condition in which sugar levels are already high in the bloodstream.

No one wants to be called a zero in terms of intelligence, but having zero-sized intelligence in computing means packing a whole lot of brains in a tiny, tiny package. Well, in today's world, nanotechnology is the nearest that mankind has come to reducing the size of computer brains. Although the sector of nanotechnology is still to be developed much, some futuristic minds have gone further to explore zero size artificial intelligence. Let's see, what is the actual status of this branch of technology.



Does anything called ZERO-SIZE TECHNOLOGY exist?

Computer companies encourage forward-thinking creativity, and some, such as Intel, even have futurists on board to predict where technology is headed. Futurist Brian David Johnson sees the future advance of computing to so small a size that the housing for the computer itself is almost zero. We have the technology to put computers almost anywhere and in almost anything. Computers used to take up entire rooms, then whole desktops, laps and palms, to micro-chip-sized casings and atom-powered transistors invisible to the naked eye.
Many have predicted that the shrinking of computing size would also lead to the end of something called Moore's Law. Gordon E. Moore, a co-founder of Intel, famously predicted that every two years the number of transistors on a chip will roughly double every 24 months. As computer brains have diminished in size -- with some models powered by just five atoms and one-atom developments about 10 to 20 years down the road -- getting smaller may reach an end point as atomic transistors replace chips. Whether the low cost will trickle down despite the high cost of innovating such small transistors remains to be seen.

For more than a century, air cars have remained a quixotic quest of engineers-an idealistic exercise with little long-term likelihood of entering mass production. As fuels go, air has obvious upsides: It's ubiquitous, clean, and best of all, free. But air requires energy to store energy because it must be compressed, limiting the utility of an all-air car.

Two engineers from French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen thought they could overcome that problem by pairing two tried-and-true technologies: a gasoline engine and hydraulics. To test the concept, they formed the Hybrid Air Program in 2010 and connected the engine of a subcompact car to a commercial airplane's hydraulic system. "We were trying to push the project against a lot of people who didn't trust the fact that we would succeed," says engineer Karim Mokaddem.



The Hybrid Air power train, uses a hydraulic pump and a piston to compress the nitrogen gas in a tank called the high-pressure accumulator. Hitting the accelerator releases the pressurized gas, which then moves hydraulic fluid through the same pump in reverse. The pump acts as a motor to power the wheels and the hydraulic fluid ends up in a second tank.

During normal driving, the system will switch between gas and air power. Much like the hybrid-electric vehicles, the gasoline engine provides a boost up steep hills and on the highway, and it repressurizes the nitrogen tank if the regenerative-braking system hasn't done so.



For urban driving less than 43 miles per hour, between 60 and 80 percent of drive time will be under air power alone. Compared with gasoline-electrics, the Hybrid Air power train is lighter and cheaper, and there are no bulky batteries that wear out or intrude on passenger and trunk space. The system is designed to live for the life of the vehicle. The only possible will be an air recharge.

  • The Hybrid Air Car uses compressed nitrogen, which is held in a tank called the High-Pressure Accumulator.
  • A hydraulic pump and piston compress nitrogen in the accumulator. When the nitrogen is released, the pump runs in the reverse. Acting now as a motor, it harnesses the energy of the moving hydraulic fluid to send power to the wheels.
  • After the hydraulic fluid passes through the motor, it flows to the low-pressure accumulator, where it is stored for later use.
This is the perfect Environmentally Friendly Car.

A new microwave may soon be able to tell you the precise calorie count of food that goes inside. That's good news for health nuts who microwave a lot, though they are perhaps a small niche group. For micriwavers who aren't that into fitness, though it could be a bit unsettling. It might not be as easy to ignore as the panel on the back of that box of frozen processed food you're about to nuke.

GE has combined devices that use advanced sensor technology to estimate the fat content, water content, and weight of food in question in order to automatically calculate dietary calories.

Infact, automatic calorie estimation for foods actually consumed does not yet exist. The solution maybe to use advanced sensor technology to measure the actual meal that you eat, rather than relying on an archived database of values.

To assess the three key dimensions for its estimates - fat content, water content and weight. This can be done because water and fat interact with microwaves very differently.



First, consumer goods manufacturers are looking at ways to combine sensors, connectivity and powerful server-side processing to deliver rapid, granular data to people on a routine basis. Everything around us is measurable, and creating devices that can automatically gather the data and send it on for processing, making it meaningful is rapidly becoming commonplace.

Second, "and more particularly, giving people accurate readings of the calories they're consuming as well as, with fitbit-type devices, what they're burning-is a big step toward real-time health management rather than disease detection,"GE explained.
Tastier meals, easier preparation, painless cleanup are all possibilities.

A Finnish inventor is trying to save the environment and prevent fire hazards by inventing the ASMO charger - The World's First Intelligent Phone Charger that switches off immediately once your smartphone is no longer charging.
The ASMO charger is a 3D-printed AC/DC charger that does not consume any standby power at all. When you plug the smart phone in, the charger uses a small amount of power from the smartphone battery to start the flow of energy.
Once the phone is charged, even if the charger is left plugged into the wall, it shuts itself down automatically and isolates itself from the electricity grid.




"Mobile phone chargers consume power, even if there is no phone connected to it. In one year, for every mobile charger you own, you pay for 8,000 watts of wasted energy, [Equivalent to keeping your laptop running for 260 hours or leaving your lights on for a month," the ASMO video states. 
"There are almost seven billion mobile phones in the world. By leaving mobile phone chargers on, we use the equivalent of two nuclear power plants or 25,000 wind power mills."

The charger comes with several different connectors, including the Apple 30-pin connector (iPhone 4S and below), the new lighting connector and Micro-USB (Suitable for most Android phones).

Users can also choose to buy either a US or EU 2-Prong plug design by pledging at least $29 on kick starter, but the ASMO charger does not come with the UK-standard 3 prongs design.

Partying at home is an awesome idea and worth enjoying but the problem of washing the remains of a party is somewhat annoying. It is also an issue when one gets back home and finds every plate and utensil dirty and un-clean.
A new invention of Bake.A.Dish will hopefully eliminate this problem forever. The new invention is able to make the kitchenware with the bread which can hold the food whether it is curry or soup.



The new machine is able to make plates and bowls up to 16 inches in diameter and let you eat the bowl at the end. It looks a bit funny but it is really yummy. The app controlled gadget is able to calculate the size of the plate on the basis of calories needed by a user.

According to the inventor, "The product is aiming at personalizing your dinnerware, making a more sustainable alternative to disposable dinnerware and adding a fix of fiber to one's daily diet. By customizing the size of the food dishes according to one's special needs and adding a controlled amount of fiber and carbohydrates to the diet it promises a healthier eating lifestyle." He explained the way two shape-shifting modes make different sized bowls and plates. All you need is just flour and water in order to make a bowl or a plate. It would be interesting to know how beautifully it is devised to hold the liquid.



It is a solar powered machine and requires less water as compared to washing a plate or a bowl so it is economical as well as eco-friendly. It makes the machine a sustainable solution with fun.
