A doorknob that knows whether to lock or unlock based on how it is grasped, a smartphone that silences itself if the user holds a finger to her lips and a chair that adjusts room lighting based on recognizing if a user is reclining or leaning forward... Andy Wilson and Stevie Bathiche are two of the guys behind the original concept of Microsoft Surface, so it’s no surprise to see they’re cooking up new ideas that push the boundaries of display technology. Our next post will show what Stevie and his team are up to in their quest to build the magic window. This post focuses on the latest project from Andy – Holoflector. 
The new Telcare meter marks a significant step toward bringing consumer medical devices closer to the world of modern technology. Walt Mossberg reports. 
Want to see what the future could look like? 
In these posts I will share my research on participatory sensing, open data and smartcities that I started about 6 months ago. Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network. 
In the space of 20 minutes a plastic bottle opener has been constructed by the Replicator --- a 3D printing machine capable of making objects up to the size... 
Circuits could be woven from conductive and semiconducting natural fibers... We want to see 3D printing, FabLabs and Hackerspaces become a regular feature--in addition to its other services--at every public library in the country. Thi... 
The Kinecthesia is a Kinect wired to a set of motors that allows the blind to navigate a room or open space, relying on feedback through the motors to assess objects in their path. 
Starting Black Friday, two U.S. malls -- Promenade Temecula in Southern California and Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Va. -- will track guests' movements by monitoring the signals from their cell phones. 
(PhysOrg.com) -- The Kilobots are coming. Computer scientists and engineers at Harvard University have developed and licensed technology that will make it easy to test collective algorithms on hundreds, or even thousands, of tiny robots. |
The growth of augmented reality (AR) will almost certainly change the way we visually experience the everyday world. 
It's very avant-garde, but maybe this could be a breakthrough for the much hyped augmented reality technology? I think AR is super cool, but I'm ... Google Apps works, but do the not-so-evil-company want to become the next Microsoft Office so bad? Via David de Weerdt 
During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the government unplugged the Internet. Protesters were left without Internet, and thereby the ability to communicate even locally, instantly. 
Mit 3D-Druckern lassen sich dreidimensionale Objekte herstellen. 
An orchestra that plays music based on measuring brain waves has made its debut. 
Unless you're directly involved with the maker movement, it's easy to miss how much fun its developers have. And they're not just enjoying t... Cubify | 3D Systems' Cubify™ combines coloring book simplicity with cloud gaming fun to deliver a simple and fun create-and-make experience in... 
Consumer-based Internet technologies are morphing into new uses in energy conservation, transportation, health care, traffic management and food distribution. 
Lumus provides a new dimension for the human visual experience. Enriching human vision with completely natural-looking, see-through eyewear based on breakthrough LOE technology, Lumus is generating a paradigm shift in display technology. This is just the beginning (missing the sparkle in the eye; the rest looks absolutely perfect) 
Bringing us a step closer to a Terminator-style augmented-reality display, University of Washington engineers have constructed an experimental contact lens... 
Epson Japan announced [JP] the so-called Moverio today, a see-through 3D head-mounted display (HMD), which is the first of its kind, according to the company. |
