OMG...!! Its 234" touch screen display...!! I don't think everyone can afford it ..:p but I think, it gives an awesome way to give a presentation...!
The Microsoft Germany and Stereolize came up with this massive touch screen called the Microsoft Cinema. The screen has been showed off for the first time at CeBIT 2011.
The screen is sensitive to gestures like flicking n panning. And it would really revolutionize the way the presentations are normally given. You will agree after watching the video below..:)
FYI, it is not stated if the screen is touch sensitive even at the top...:p also no one has checked it...coz its so HUGE..!!
Hey.... Don't get confused...! I have not changed by blog topics from technology to Sports..:) There is something amazing about 2022 World cup in Qatar referring to the technology going to be used. Its the ' Man-made clouds to shade the stadium'..!!!!
The world cup will be in months of June and July. Do you know the temperature in those months in Qatar..?? Its freakin 41 degree Celsius (106 F )...!! Sometimes, it goes as high as 50 degree Celsius (122 F)...!! Can you imagine running behind a ball in the open ground with the sun determined to drain out every drop of water in your body..!?!?
So a team of scientists from the Qatar University have taken a high-tech approach to solve the problem. They are going to create some artificial clouds and let them float above the stadium hence provide shade for both players and fans ..!!
The team is lead by Dr Saul Abdul Ghani, Head of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at QU. "The "clouds"......
would be made from a lightweight carbon structure carrying a giant envelope of material containing helium gas.
It would also feature solar panels on its upper surface to power engines that allow the cloud to be moved via remote control.
The system would cost around US$500,000.
The stadium to built for the world cup includes all types of cooling technologies available and capable of reducing the temperature inside by up to 20 degree Celsius.
Now we get the doubt as, why cant they move the world cup to a cooler months like January ..??? I don't know ...'They just CAN'T "...!!!
When we talk about technology and bringing something 'new', that 'new' should be,
simpler and smaller than the 'old' one.
more efficient than the 'old' one.
The 'new' one should be able to serve more of our needs in a more better ways.
So there are many concepts of those' new' things, but not all have the features mentioned above. Now, you are definitely know that what am going to tell you and that concept has all those features..:)
You are absolutely right..!! Its called 'Rolltop'... Germany's Orkin Design has proposed this fantastic concept of a futuristic laptop. The rolltop is a 'rolled up' laptop. By using the flexible OLED and touchscreen technologies, the created concept is a cylindrical laptop which can be rolled out when need sto be used and can be rolled up again when not used.
Since I said, it has all those features to make itself 'better'.... they are...
As you know, laptop is portable. But rolltop is ultra-portable..!
For a laptop, you need a laptop bag. But rolltop fits in whatever bag you have.
All those charges n wires which makes you sick, is not needed with rolltop..! All those are integrated in the central cylindrical system of rolltop. It has speakers, usb ports, lan port and a camera.
The top of the column detaches and acts as a power plug while the carry strap doubles as a power cord
When rolled up, Rolltop will be 11 inches (28 cm) long and have a 3.26-inch (8.3-cm) diameter
There are many of such features..... But I just don't like to type those ..:p Also am damn sure not many have read whatever written their and think all those as bullshit..!! All will look for some video or pics....So lets cup the crap n watch the video..:)
The video which am going to share you with is a recently leaked video on microsoft's vision of future of gaming. Microsoft is showing the world how it the future of its Windows Gaming Experience platform implemented with Xbox Live.
Now, for those who don't know what Windows Gaming Experience or WGX is, it's an internal group name for all of Microsoft's PC gaming efforts, including Games For Windows,MSN, windows live messenger.Let me clear you some things in the first place, before you watch the video......
Whatever you are going to see is still purely conceptual for the time being.
It mainly focuses on 4 experiences of gaming.
1) Social : This deals with enhancing the social gaming experience. Especially the facebook games such as Farmville. You may be thinking, why they are trying to enhance such small games, when there are games like Call of duty or Halo...! Well, you may not be knowing, how big is this 'small' game business...:) Did you know that the 'Farmville' on facebook is worth $10 billion....?!?!? How could microsoft ignore millions of casual gamers..??
2) Avatar : Deals with customizing your 'Avatar' with a virtual wardrobe.
3) Search : It eases finding the games n apps through bing.
4) Transaction : It focuses on delivering the digital content with simplicity irrespective of its size and price.
'Earthquake, Tsunami and nuclear crisis' ....what a combination...!! Japan is experiencing the most horrific, darkest nightmare ever possible. In such disasters, rescuing people is a very challenging task, when they don't know where exactly the person is trapped under that enormous rubble.
So with an intention of helping people under such situation, researchers from Tiwan have released a new mobile app called Mobile Savior.
The app can transmit the location of users trapped under the rubble, to any number of people with one single touch...! The app sends out the latitude and longitude co-ordinates of the people stranded in the disaster areas.
The mind behind the app, Liang Chih-hsiung, assistant professor of multimedia and gaming development at Lunghwa University of Science and Technology says that "This project was my idea, because Taiwan has experienced earthquakes and mudslides where we can't find people, With one touch, location data can get out, and maybe that would save your life. If you were crushed but still alive, someone can still find you."
The new app is available for download for $2.99 in English, Chinese or Japanese.
Am not an expert in neither physics nor string theory, but I find these ideas and theories highly fascinating. These ideas look very interesting when we do not go deep into it. like, derivations or proofs....:) Oh.. you want some proof for that...?? Here it is,
The following are the mathematical topics a person has to be familiar with if he wants to learn String theory,
Real analysis
Complex analysis
Group theory
Differential geometry
Lie groups
Differential forms
Homology
Cohomology
Homotopy
Fiber bundles
Characteristic classes
Index theorems
Supersymmetry and supergravity
Need more.... below is just a piece of derivation in string theory...
Looks like we are going to be in deep shit as we go deeper n deeper right...??..:p
So lets all not worry about those n enjoy the little we know.... below videos make these concepts so simple...!! But more importantly, they take you to a different world...!! Enjoy.... (FYI there are 5 parts of the video)
As I mentioned in my previous post Imagining the dimensions higher than 4 looks like impossible right..? But its possible...! To be honest with you, I really have no idea how to write an article about the higher dimensions when myself is stuck imagining 5th dimensions...! So, as would every one would do, I went on exploring about the topic. Seriously, it made me more confused...!! The following is a paragraph which I got on a website, it goes,
The first four are the ones we all know and love: Three dimensions for space and one dimension for time. The other 6 are called 'internal degrees of freedom' and are related to the number of fundamental symmetries present in the physical world at the quantum scale. The equations that physicists work with require these additional dimensions so that new symmetries can be defined that allow physicists to understand physical relationships between the various particle families. They think these are actual, real dimensions to the physical world, only that they are now 'compact' and have finite sizes unlike our 4 dimensions of space and time which seem almost to be infinite in size. Each point in 4 dimensional space-time has another 6 dimensions attached to it which 'particles and forces' can use as extra degrees of freedom to define themselves and how they will interact with each other. Do not confuse them with 'hyperspace' because the particles do not actually 'move' along these other dimensions. They are not 'spatial' dimensions, but are as unlike space and time as time is unlike space! I didn't understand a word...:p But I found this great video on youtube, which explains it beautifully, check it out...
String theory, probably is the hottest thing in the world of physics. Its the most famous idea in the modern physics at the same time, damn confusing..!
Am not going to give you detailed article about the theory, or teach you any derivations..:p but am just give you trailer of the theory, which would tickle your imagination and make you explore about it more.
FYI, this idea will question everything you know and learned till now......So according to the theory,
The idea or the theory starts by saying that the fundamental particles we know are NOT point like dots but made of tiny strings...! These strings are so tiny that no instruments of ours can show it.
We are familiar with 1 dimension, 2D and 3D but string theory predicts the existance of 10 dimensions...!! (I know its hard to imgine even the 4D, but how could we even possible think of 10th dimension...?? I will tell a little about it in the next post... HERE....)
Now the concept of 'universe', its old..! its time for 'multiverse'...!! that's right, according to the String theory, there exist not one but many parallel universes..!! String theory describes 10500 separate universes, with different constants of nature and even different laws of physics. This parallel universe concept is really mindblowing..! Will tell you a little more about it HERE....
Another one of string theory's most dramatic predictions is that we should find cosmic strings. These would be billions of light years long, thinner than a proton and spectacularly dense. As they could reveal themselves in images of distant galaxies, the search is on.
So the physicists say all the particles in the universe are made of tiny strings and how they interact each other is through the vibrations of these strings. Hence they think the whole universe we live in, as a symphony...! Though the idea is revolutionary, and so beautiful, the problem physicists facing is while proving the theory.
Over many many years the dream of scientists to give 'the theory of everything' , a theory that would explain every phenomena in the universe. Many believe that the String Theory is the theory of everything. Is it true...?? Will they able to prove it..?? Lets wait n see..:)
