The new type of desktop PC

2008-12-24T09:53:00.001-08:00

This computer is great. One of the best prototype for desktop computer that I have seen. No monitor is really necessary if you can project the display on a wall. I think this is a great idea. It provides real estate as bit as the wall you are projecting on and a monitor does not take up desk space and you are not limited by the display capabilities of the monitor. The keyboard has a great design as well. It looks as if it is a touch screen sort of display. The peripherals all connect to the circular base. Very cool!!

This is a very cool interactive table. Purely aesthetic, but after seeing what Microsoft Surface can do, this is not particularly amazing. It is cool though.

My Photosynth

2008-11-23T07:21:00.000-08:00

This is my test of photosynth.
I took several pictures of my niece's room so I show pictures to my relatives at home. I must say it came out relatively well.

Check it out.

Turning images into 3D

2008-11-09T13:49:00.001-08:00

This is a very cool new application by Microsoft. This is how it works. You take a normal digital camera and take multiple images of a specific object or location. You then upload the images to their application. It then figures out where the images overlap and creates almost a virtual 3-dimensional portrayal of the object or room. This is very cool.

To try it out, go to http://www.photosynth.net

Check out the video.

Hologram on CNN

2008-11-05T16:52:00.000-08:00

I know this was a historic election; but seeing a hologram on CNN was not something that I was expecting at all. The ideas from Star Wars are finally starting to materialize. Very cool. Takes videoconferencing to the next level.

I say it's about time. What do you think?

The Flying Car....what??

2008-10-25T07:34:00.001-07:00

This car is very sleek. Is it an unrealistic? Well it is a concept car, but with human potential, genius and creativity, I do not think it is impossible. It is not a matter of how, but of when. I just hope this does not run on gas. Imagine flying hundreds of feet in the air and running out of gas?

The probability of these concepts becoming a reality will depend on us developing alternative sources of energy.

What do you think? Realistic or not?

Nokia Morph

2008-10-23T20:09:00.001-07:00

This concept phone blew me away. This totally tops the previous post because it involves nanotechnology. I believe the next wave of major innovation will come from nanotechnology and the possibilities will be endless.

There are too many great things about this concept phone. I will leave them to be revealed through the viewing of this video.

This is truly a next generation device. (not doing it justice by calling it a phone).

Form follows you

Could you guess what this is a concept of?

Yes.

This phone is amazing. If you think the iPhone is hot; I'd pick this over the iPhone any day. This is the 2nd best concept phone that I have seen online. The design idea is that the form of the phone will change to the need of its user during the day. This is 21st century; the devices adapt to us.

What I like about this phone?

1. The flexible and adaptable material. - This phone has a great look. One thing about it, it does look next gen. with a futuristic design. Simple, yet elegant.

2. The interactivity - This phone is alive. It interacts with the user in a way like no other. It is almost like having a pet. Well, you get my point.

3. Functionality - It has GPS, video, large, long screen, able to pay with it I believe (the video shows it briefly). It can be programmed to react in different ways depending on if it is a call or alarm etc.

4. The look -It is slick and fashionable; can suit anyone's style.

Check it out. I'd like to hear your opinions.
