FujiFilm Launches World's First 3D Camera

Cameras three-dimensional (3D) world's first launched Tuesday, August 17, 2010 by one of the world's largest photography company, FujiFilm.

Camera shots that are named FinePix Real 3D W3 can be printed in the paper the three dimensions that can be affixed in the family photo album - or can be viewed directly from the facility that integrates with the camera display.

Special, not like the 3D movies in theaters, do not need special glasses to get the 3D effect.

FujiFilm camera takes two photos simultaneously from the same alias two separate lenses - the same distance with the two human eyes.

Using technology 'lenticular' - the look right and left eyes separately woven in a crinkled surface to create the illusion steoroskopik.

This method has been used since the 1940s in the sticker, for example, which displays a simple two-frame animation - like blinking.

This old technology is now used in products 3D console games and posters.

This new camera is equipped with a video camera high-definition 3D, which allows users to watch the shot in 3D television.

FinePix Real 3D Camera W3 will be on sale from September with a price around 400 pounds.

Meanwhile, for the printing service will soon be launched soon after the launch of the camera.

Wearing Emotions Silencer

Canadian scientists have succeeded in producing a smart clothing that can help the wearer overcome the psychological pressure.
The prototype garment is equipped the latest technology that can detect the emotional state of the user, then automatically sends a signal to the data center that will send which sends a means silencer emotions.

Clothes that are equipped with wireless sensors, LED screen, and built-in speaker on the hood. This outfit was created by Barbara Layne of Concordia University, Canada, and Janis Jefferies from Digital Studios, Goldsmiths College.

This outfit is able to detect the user to monitor mood symptoms generally arise when the sense of anxiety, such as body temperature and heart rate increases. We detected the user's mood, clothes automatically be connected to a data center that will send the entertainment media, including songs, motivational words, and images to give a sense of calm for the user.

Media will help users overcome the psychological condition caused by tension and emotional consequences of modern life. To change the user's mood, LED display that can be sewn on the shirt displays the text or simple drawings.

At the same time, speakers will be in steady music, sounds, or messages from friends or family that has been recorded previously.

The Micron Change The Way We Travel

The carbon footprint that automobiles leave is about to change, and that change is going to happen much sooner than we think. While it is unlikely that the Micron will replace every car on the road, it will present a very interesting alternative to daily travel. This unique design is eye catching and more importantly, totally emissions free. Make no mistake about it, the Micron is the future of the automobile.

While it would be nice to think that the environmental problems the world is facing would wake people up and get them to carpool, most people still insist on driving their own car to work every single day. The need for independence is understandable and appreciated, but if most people are doing nothing more than going to work and going home, why continue to waste gas and hurt the environment?

These are the direct concerns that the Micron addresses. Being electric, the emissions issues are immediately settled and being so compact, the congestion on the road will clear up. Imagine 4 vehicles that can hold up to two people that can fit into a parking space of just one car. The amount of city congestion that would be alleviated is simply staggering to even think about. The days of having the SUV in the garage for nothing more than shopping trips may be soon upon us.

The Micron is still being tested and is currently scheduled to be released in 2012. Oddly enough, that is the same year that the Mayan calendar predicts will be the end of the world. While it is unlikely that the destruction that they have in mind will occur, the world as we know it is definitely changing. Instead of the end of the world, it could truly be a new beginning.

New Ways Driving Car with Eyes

Drove a car with his hands is a common and often make you tired. Now, German researchers have developed a new technology, which allows the driver can drive a car using only the eye. Raul Rojas, an artificial intelligence researchers at the Free University in Berlin, on Friday (23 / 4) said that this technology uses the driver's eye movements, and in turn drive the car into any eye could see.

Rojas and his team presented the prototype technology, called eyeDriver such, under blue skies at the airport in Berlin. At that time a new eyeDriver can go up to 31 miles per hour. "The next step is to make the car sped up to 60 miles per hour," said Rojas.

For now, the practice is still relatively simple. eyeDriver show lively with pedestrians dodge or chasing another car on the asphalt. To move backward, the driver enough to just look into the rearview mirror car. "The biggest challenge is of course driving in the city with pedestrians and the many obstacles," added the Mexican-born scientist.

But until now, it remains unclear when or whether this technology will be commercialized. Because of safety and practicality eyeDriver still need attention. Like, what if the driver saw a beautiful girl on the street for a few seconds. Not to mention when you receive a phone call or type an SMS while driving.

Book with 3D Technology

Successful films three-dimensional (3D) Avatar and Alice in Wonderland in popularity and commercial push by researchers at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, to develop the technology in the book. Thus, the characters in the book makes it possible to move, twist, jump and even, toward the reader.

According to the researchers, the book containing the folklore of Korea it must be read with special glasses. "As readers flip the book and enforce, its 3D animation can also be seen. It took three years to develop its software," said Kim Sang-cheol, head of the project.

Kim says, the technology can be used for all types of books. In fact, he said, the device can be used to display images via smart phones or museums. Unfortunately, we still have to wait long for the presence of the 3D book.

"It takes time for the marketing of this technology to the public," said Kim. "I also do not know the price of certain books, but the price would be affordable if mass produced".

Brain Power

Researchers at Duke University and MCP Hahnemann University have developed a tecnnique for using brain signals to control a robotic arm. This feat was accomplished by recording signals from electrodes that were implaanted in the brains of rats. It is believed that this new method may some day offer hope to theose suffering from spinal cord injuries who have prosthetic limbs. Theoretically, the electrodes could be implanted into the brain to allow the person to have control over limb movement, much as they would an actual limb.

In the experiment, rats were taught to operate a robotic arm by pressing a lever. Pressing the lever resulted in the rats receiving a reward. Researchers recorded the neuronal activity responsible for muscle movement using implanted electrode arrays. Once the spesific groups of neurons that were used for muscle movement when pressing the lever were identified, researchers changed the control of the robotic arm from the lever to the electrode implants.
The rats promptly learned that they could move the robotic arm to receive a reward without having to press the lever. All they had to do was to activate the particular neurons in the brain that they had previously used when physically pressing the lever.
This ground-breaking study established the first tangible evidence that neuron signals can be used to control external devices. Prior to this study, scientists suspected that neuronal control of external devices was possible but there was no demonstrable proof.
Researchers speculate that the knowledge gained from this study could be used to develop new techniques to treat those suffering from a variety of disabilities including spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and locked-in syndrome. Since those with locked-in syndrome may have intact thinking skills but no ability to interact wiht their environment, external control of devices through neurons may be particularly helpful.
The researchers also strongly emphasize that there are still significant technical obstacles that must be overcome before any attempts at human clinical trials can begin. They do however believe that these obstacles are not impossible to overcome.
