Image
This page is about future gadgets like the cell phone watch and smartwatch. Inventor Eric Migicovsky, a 25-year-old University of Waterloo graduate, presold 85,000 of his future gadgets for delivery to users later this year. The Pebble is a smartwatch that wirelessly connects via bluetooth to an iPhone or Android smartphone and uses smartphone apps. It's the only smartwatch that does so. The Pebble has various applications that allow users to access information or control devices from their wrist. Besides checking calls, emails, text messages or social media updates, the smartwatch has potentially unlimited applications. Migicovsky will release an open software development kit for it's pebble technology, which will allow developers to design watchapps similar to what Apple did with it's iPhone developer kit. Current Pebble applications include a music control app; a fitness tracker app that monitors stats related to cycling or jogging; a golfing range finder app f...

Printer LEX!!! in action

AIR changes to WATER

Image
Johathan Ritchey has invented the Watermill, which is an atmospheric water generator. It converts air into fresh water. This latest technology invention produces fresh water at a cost of about 3 cents a liter (1 quart). Originally designed for areas that do not have clean drinking water, the Watermill is for households that prefer an eco-friendly, cost effective alternative to bottled water. Atmospheric water generators convert air into water when the temperature of the air becomes saturated with enough water vapor that it begins to condense (dew point). "What is unique about the Watermill is that it has intelligence," says Ritche. This makes the appliance more efficient. It samples the air every 3 minutes to determine the most efficient time to convert the air into water. It will also tell you when to change the carbon filter and will shut itself off if it cannot make pure clean water.

"WALKING" house!!!

Image
A new prototype house walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England. The eco-friendly house is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six legs. A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to the walking speed of a human. The legs reguire a software algorithm to calculate the movement and position of the legs to provide stability over varying terrain. The house can turn, move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed with GPS waypoints for travelling to destinations.

Face detection is becoming more common in still photographs but the technology has yet failed to support video footage. Google is looking to break into this brand of technology and has filed a patent application. The Google technology will use a series of video frames to generate clusters of facial representations which are associated with any person. By understanding what someone looks like from any given angle, Google could then associate a name to whenever that person is recognised in a video clip. The technology is sophisticated enough to handle differences in lighting, shadows and faces at any conceivable angle. The technology will offer an added option to YouTube, offering the ability to tag whoever appears in a single video. No more claiming the video where you ran naked through a crowd of people wasn't you - the technology will prove otherwise and tag you. Consider it a blessing or a curse, but the technology looks sure to be integrated into Google's pro...
