Five Years After, Mobile Hologram

Phone with speaker's face on the screen has become a reality. Five years into the future, maybe not just video, but even form the recipient in the form of three-dimensional holograms that are emitted from the surface of the screen.

That is one of five forecasts of the investigators International Business Machines (IBM) Corp.. Some other ideas is a battery technology that can 'breathe', which only need to interact with the environment to collect kinetic energy. Moreover, they predict that innovation will be developed is a computer program that can show when and where congestion occurs, information systems environment through sensors installed in cars and cell phones, and the use of the power source from the blast of hot server computer.

The predictions are part of IBM's annual tradition to find the five ideas that technology can be applied in the next five years. For the largest computer services provider in the world like IBM, it is not a speculation. They are one of the few companies that invest in research projects long term. IBM has a research center in Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California.

"The list is open the window for development of IBM's innovation engine," said Josephine Cheng, Vice President IBM Almaden lab. IBM to invest 5.8 billion dollars for research and development last year. That number represents 6.1 percent of IBM revenue. Competitors, Hewlett Packard Co., spends 2.4 percent of its revenues to research last year.

Sony Pocket Camera Can Capture 3D Images

Photos in the three-dimensional format is now more easily created with the presence of the latest pocket cameras Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5. The camera can record a panoramic image in a 3D format that combines automatic 15 recordings from various points of view are taken simultaneously.

"This is a world first ther compact camera that can record a panoramic 3D," this series is the successor to the Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 with the addition of new features including the ability to record a panoramic 3D for the first time.

The presence of the Cyber-shot-WX5 is part of a 3D campaign campaign launched by Sony's world began this year to present a comprehensive three-dimensional entertainment. Previously, Sony had entered into a 3D feature homemade electronic devices ranging from televisions.

To record a 3D panoramic images, this camera provides a choice of 3D mode panoramic sweep. the user just moves the camera horizontally or vertically to capture a wide 3D panoramic images. Simltan camera will record 15 images and combine them into one.

The result of these recordings can be instantly viewed on LCD TVs that support 3D display that is connected via an HDMI cable. Users also can view it directly on the camera screen without special glasses because there are multi-view feature sweep, but I see it by moving the screen from left to right so it can see objects from various perspectives who just recorded.

This pocket camera also has the ability to record images whose quality is comparable with DSLR camera. For example, in the presence of features that make the Background Defocus photographers can capture images with portrait and macro background blur effects that previously attracted only be made with DSLR camera. There are also features auto superior low noise makes the recording sounds like a man-made professional photographers. To capture a moving object, this camera also features a sequence with the ability to record 10 frames per second. Results can also directly upload pictures to different websites with PMB Portable applications that came without the hassle of moving to a computer.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-equipped WX5 angle lens 24 mm, R Exmor CMOS image sensor 12.2 megapixels, and the ability to record full HD 1080p video. External memory slot supports Memory Stick memory cards made by Sony or SD / SDHC / SDXC.

New Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo was forced to postpone the launch of a new portable game console, Nintendo 3DS, until next year. The failure of Nintendo Co. Ltd. launched the newest toy gacoan, Nintendo 3DS, to the market this year directly to make the performance of one of the world's largest toy producer console was dropped.

According to Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co. Ltd., the company predicted would bear the loss of up to 2 billion yen during the six month.

One of the main causes of the slow Nintendo's three-dimensional presence in the market due to a delay of the production process. In addition, the strengthening of the yen helped aggravate the condition of the sale of Japanese products, including Nintendo.

If Nintendo can deliver the Nintendo 3DS at the end of this year, this product will compete directly with games made by Sony Corp. and Microsoft plan would launch his latest product at the same time. You see, launched at the end of the year is the right time because the market is already looking forward to the presence of the latest gaming products.

To be sure, Nintendo will still launch 3DS. Precisely in February next year in the Japanese market, and in March specifically for the American market. Products worth 25,000 yen 12,000 yen more expensive than the Nintendo DS product, can display three-dimensional images without the need to wear glasses in three dimensions.

Nokia and Intel Create 3D Hologram on mobile phone

Slowly but surely, Intel and Nokia is currently preparing a new breakthrough in the mobile world.

Nokia, Intel, and the University of Oulu Finland muster 24 researchers for this project.

Both big companies are working with the University of Oulu Finland, had opened a joint laboratory facilities to prepare a technology that can bring experience of virtual reality into the phone.

Research will use the open source operating system platform MeeGoo, Intel and Nokia, launched last February. The main objective is to develop the interface of three dimensional (3D) and virtual reality displays on existing technology, and possible development of 3D holographic images for smart phones.

With this technology, the phone will be capable of transmitting 3D holographic image of the person who was talking on the phone, which has just happened in science fiction films.

"3D and virtual worlds great potential to revolutionize the way people use mobile phones," said Mike tune, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Director, Nokia, told Computerworld site.

One of the initial applications to be developed, is a mobile virtual control panel to control light switch and heating at home.

According to Heikki Huomo, director of the Center for Internet Excellence, University of Oulu Finland, this paper is not intended to create a 3D experience that can only be enjoyed by the special glasses, because the phone screen will not meet the physical requirements that owned a large 3D screen.

Another possibility of this application, according Huomo, create social networks in a virtual world for mobile phones that use GPS and location information of users. "This will be the 'killer app' or at least is a success," said Heikki Huomo.

This research center will be supported by about two dozen researchers who will work at least for three years for this project brewing.

Director of Intel Lab Europe, Martin Curley said that the focus of this research is the development of open source software that will complement Intel's chips besutan.

According to Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, a research center is an early opportunity for Nokia and Intel to develop an operating system MeeGo.

3D can become such an important requirement for a mobile device sized width, such as tablet computers, or at least smart phone.

Sharp LCD Products Change Rules 3D

Developing 3D touch-screen LCD is very unique that does not need to use special glasses. Sharp's 3D TV sure would like a color TV to replace black-and-white TV.

This unique LCD suitable for use on mobile devices such as cameras, cell phones and smartphones. The 3D LCD newly developed separator system is to use parallax to display the 3D image.

That system has a series of vertical cracks are integrated into regular LCD monitor for street light that reaches the eyes right and left, thus creating the impression depth of the image.

3D LCD developed by Sharp is currently experiencing significant improvement in image quality to produce bright images and low crosstalk. This is caused by the use of CG-Silicon technology 3 and optimization of the separator parallax.

CG-Silicon technology able to close distance with a cable the LCD panel that makes much more light to enter. It also doubled the image brightness (500 cd/m2) compared with conventional models.

Sharp has also developed non-touch screen LCD 3D and started mass production in April 2010. Sharp hopes to replace the TV 3 television Dimension 2 Dimension, like color television replaced black and white television.
