7 Gadgets You Wish Would Come Along With Your Car

With more and more cars rolling out of the factory gates with built-in Bluetooth and navigation systems, the market for in-car gadgetry should be drying up but there is still a wealth of interesting tech add-ons for your automobile.

Of course, one reason for this is that cars have a much longer life-cycle than gadgets. A four-year-old sat nav is a relic but a four-year-old car still almost new.

Blue Eyes Technology: Take a leap towards your future

Today when the whole world is miniaturized in a internet based work area, people find it tough to get up and get things done on their own. They want a easy going life with being less physically active so they are solely dependent on technologies. Starting from a scratch and building up to be a millionaire technology provides us with every facilities. We are very much surrounded by technical stuffs. Among these technology there is something that can draw our attention to a different levels.
This is "Blue Eyes" technology.

Screenless Display: A glimpse into the future

One of the more frustrating aspects of modern communications technology is that, as devices have miniaturized, they have become more difficult to interact with – no one would type out a novel on a smartphone, for example. The lack of space on screen-based displays provides a clear opportunity for screenless displays to fill the gap. Full-sized keyboards can already be projected onto a surface for users to interact with, without concern over whether it will fit into their pocket. Perhaps evoking memories of the early Star Wars films, holographic images can now be generated in three dimensions; in 2013, MIT’s Media Lab reported a prototype inexpensive holographic colour video display with the resolution of a standard TV.

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013, Las Vegas

Reto Meier predicts that 10 years from now we will be able to get transparent LCD patches that will adhere to our eyeglasses and 20 years from now we’ll have contact lenses that project images directly onto our retinas and that we will be able to interface with computers through mind control. The most profound effect will come from the development of the synaptic interface technology. This technology will allow people who are visually impaired to see just as the hearing impaired are able to hear through cochlear implants.

Screenless display may also be achieved by projecting images directly onto a person’s retina, not only avoiding the need for weighty hardware, but also promising to safeguard privacy by allowing people to interact with computers without others sharing the same view. By January 2014, one start-up company had already raised a substantial sum via Kickstarter with the aim of commercializing a personal gaming and cinema device using retinal display. In the longer term, technology may allow synaptic interfaces that bypass the eye altogether, transmitting “visual” information directly to the brain.

This field saw rapid progress in 2013 and appears set for imminent breakthroughs of scalable deployment of screenless display. Various companies have made significant breakthroughs in the field, including virtual reality headsets, bionic contact lenses, the development of mobile phones for the elderly and partially blind people, and hologram-like videos without the need for moving parts or glasses.

The first screen-less display that needs mentioning is Google Glass. Google Glass sits on the face like a pair of glasses, and on one eye it has a block of glass that allows you to see augmented reality. Images can be displayed right in front of your eye, as well as text and information about objects and places that are in front of you. This technology is only in its early stages, but definitely shows that screen-less displays will become a natural form of media consumption in the future.

The Oculus Rift is another such tech that is already available to purchase. This is a headset that completely blocks out the real world, and instead replaces what you see with a pre-programmed image. This is the ultimate virtual reality machine that displays video and appropriate sounds, and uses its accelerometer to ensure that it feels totally real. If you move your head left, you will see the image that is to the left in the virtual reality scenario. This kind of technology has a plethora of uses, and today it is constantly being updated and improved to provide you with the very best in screenless display technology in the near future.

Say Hello to your Personal Robot

Today the way with which technology is pacing is incredible there is no denying the fact that we are at the verge of technological revolution where everything is going to be digital.

The way we perceive everything is going to change and will be definitely be for the best since we are so much adapted to it that it makes it impossible for us to even think our existence to be possible without our gadgets. It has pretty much occupied everything from our day to day routine and to our lifestyle. From health sensitive watches to our task scheduler in our mobile phones I don’t think that we can never imagine a life without it and that makes us to appreciate people who led their lives in the prehistoric times must have been a tough call.

And to top things off there is yet another invention that has made everyone talking about it well not keeping anymore suspense I’m talking about the Segways personal robot that has now taken technology to new heights. The collective collaboration of Segways,Intel and MI has made this revolution come true. This robot navigates, follow and is extensible and even comes with a developer kit with full SDK so giving opportunity to all of us to explore it ourselves in the journey to create something revolutionary, and other features include Intel RealSense RGB-D camera enables depth sensing. Great for development on object recognition, tracking and other cool projects. Control multiple motors to move the robot and see the world in different angles, while the robot is continuously self-balancing.

Multiple cameras and sensors enable Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. Track and follow makes it interesting to take out for a ride. Being able to connect to other smart hardware let you easily monitor your home and things you care. Open SDK on Android platform gives you much freedom in developing new applications. Microphone array let you send voice command to Segway robot from anywhere in the room. Intel Atom processor makes these applications possible. GPU acceleration is available for vision algorithms.

So with this it can offer a lot to the next generation to extend its features and make it even more interesting but for now it has garnered a lot of interest and there is a huge potential of this product in the market since its one of a kind very unique product with minimal competition. Hopefully it may receive an overwhelming response by the people and bring in something more exceptional after this.

Dig in to that Surreal experience while sitting in your room with Tempescope

With our imagination growing every day there is no end of what a human brain can innovate and surely there have been exceptionally challenging ideas which shows there is no end to thinking one of them is Tempescope, the name itself suggests that it has something to do with the temperature, but hang on a minute before you make any assumptions, as soon as you are going to dig deep into its characteristics, it is definitely going to blow your mind.

Exceptionally brilliant idea of showing you the weather outside inside a small box in your room isn’t it amazing? What’s more intriguing is this little box can be carried anywhere and this can tell the weather outside visually ,or you can set it to any other place’s temperature, without the simple boring descriptions we get in our phones. This jaw dropping idea that many of us wondering how this was achieved. The Tempescope can be synced to your mobile phone with the help of an Android App. The first prototype was built by Ken in 2012 with the budget as low as $1 from shampoo bottles.

Again, one year later the product was developed after many successful public viewings, the creators have had held various crowd funding campaigns, but they were unsuccessful so we are still in talks when the distributors are going to sell it. However the product creators are still in doubts whether it is going to receive the much awaited response but we are still anticipating that it will receive its undue attention the moment it hits the market, where the release date is going to be speculated to be around April 2016.

Most our lives we wonder that what if we could be at a particular place to get visually enchanted by the most exhilarating experiences and this can also be a blessing in disguise for people who are not fortunate to experience the snow or other worldly phenomenon while sitting in their room, but with these soaring expectations can the Tempescope really give us that surreal experience.

There is no doubt that the uniqueness of this product has garnered a lot of attention and everyone has extolled the creator for attempting something extra ordinary but yet what cannot be ignored is that however it may sound the product is struggling to attract the masses since most of us still believe that experiences can only made by traveling and are not really enjoy a laid back time at home ,some of us are workaholics and are not bothered to get such experiences ,so as soon the solutions to all these problems are dealt with maybe then it can succeed and create a global outbreak, till then it is still a long way to go.
