"Merlin Mobility is developing a suite of web based tools that allows organizations to rapidly create and deploy augmented reality content. This recent application for pump manufacturer Sandpiper developed in collaboration with Sentrinsic Incorporated highlights the technical details of our platform. These details include our instruction architecture for managing multiple branching tasks with context sensitive voice, animations, videos, textual descriptions and intent-based presentation that ensures the user is viewing the desired content during each step. Features highlighted in this video include 3D tracking initialized by a QRCode, viewpoint dependent animations, intelligent part masking, dynamic arrows, object aware labeling and cuttaway view animations."

Il n’y a pas que la société Boston Dynamics qui travaille en ce moment sur un robot guépard. Les chercheurs du MIT en développent un depuis plus de trois ans. Le robot de l’équipe du Laboratoire de Robotique Biomimétique du MIT de Boston atteint maintenant une vitesse de 22 km/h, ce qui est tout à fait honorable, mais encore loin du record établi à 47 km/h par le robot Cheetah développé pour la DARPA.

There will be a special attraction for deaf people in theaters nationwide soon. By the end of this month, Regal Cinemas plans to have distributed closed-captioning glasses to more than 6,000 theaters across the country.
Sony Entertainment Access Glasses are sort of like 3-D glasses, but for captioning. The captions are projected onto the glasses and appear to float about 10 feet in front of the user. They also come with audio tracks that describe the action on the screen for blind people, or they can boost the audio levels of the movie for those who are hard of hearing.
This is a big moment for the deaf, many of whom haven't been to the movies in a long time. Captioned screenings are few and far between, and current personal captioning devices that fit inside a cup holder with a screen attached are bulky, display the text out of their line of vision to the screen, and distract the other patrons.

A start-up has developed the technology to power the next generation of wearable computing: Dekko has been developing a real-world operating system for 2 years that will function as the visual layer for wearable computing devices. The technology uses real-time 3D reconstruction, letting mobile devices interpret physical objects and build digital layers on top of them. This has significant implications for what is possible with mobile gaming. Via Elle D'Coda

Scientists make skin for robots, prosthetics, and even heart monitoring devices. For a true cybernetic limb to work well, the wearer has to be able to feel objects when they touch them. And if robots are going to learn how to grab an egg without crushing it, for instance, they need a more sophisticated way of figuring out how much pressure they’re exerting. Via Peter Verschuere

Take a swab of saliva from your mouth and within minutes your DNA could be ready for analysis and genome sequencing with the help of a new device.
University of Washington engineers and NanoFacture, a Bellevue, Wash., company, have created a device that can extract human DNA from fluid samples in a simpler, more efficient and environmentally friendly way than conventional methods.
The device will give hospitals and research labs a much easier way to separate DNA from human fluid samples, which will help with genome sequencing, disease diagnosis and forensic investigations.
“It’s very complex to extract DNA,” said Jae-Hyun Chung, a UW associate professor of mechanical engineering who led the research. “When you think of the current procedure, the equivalent is like collecting human hairs using a construction crane.”
This technology aims to clear those hurdles. The small, box-shaped kit now is ready for manufacturing, then eventual distribution to hospitals and clinics. NanoFacture, a UW spinout company, signed a contract with Korean manufacturer KNR Systems last month at aceremony in Olympia, Wash.
The UW, led by Chung, spearheaded the research and invention of the technology, and still manages the intellectual property. Separating DNA from bodily fluids is a cumbersome process that’s become a bottleneck as scientists make advances in genome sequencing, particularly for disease prevention and treatment. The market for DNA preparation alone is about $3 billion each year.
Conventional methods use a centrifuge to spin and separate DNA molecules or strain them from a fluid sample with a micro-filter, but these processes take 20 to 30 minutes to complete and can require excessive toxic chemicals.
UW engineers designed microscopic probes that dip into a fluid sample – saliva, sputum or blood – and apply an electric field within the liquid. That draws particles to concentrate around the surface of the tiny probe. Larger particles hit the tip and swerve away, but DNA-sized molecules stick to the probe and are trapped on the surface. It takes two or three minutes to separate and purify DNA using this technology. Via Dr. Stefan Gruenwald, sonia ramos

It bothers me that an American university which receives American tax dollars for funding has decided to contract with a Korean company to manufacture this amazing device. We will never solve our economic woes if we don't bring mfg back to the US.

Wow, what an incredible innovation! Simplifying the DNA extraction process with this new device could revolutionize genetic analysis and research. Kudos to the University of Washington engineers and NanoFacture for developing such a game-changing technology. Exciting times ahead for genome sequencing and disease diagnosis!
