Microsoft developed functioning without glasses 3D display

Spectators can see different points in space different images. A webcam behind a Smart Display provides information about their location. If it is possible to send two different representations of a person’s eyes, this is the breakthrough in 3D technology.

Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group has unveiled its latest research project: a 3D display, for which one does not need glasses.

Conceptual starting point is the project Wedge. The technology allows a Smart Display, to detect hand movements and to interpret them as commands. For this position the researcher with a webcam behind a transparent OLED or particularly thin LCD, providing the gestures.

This technique is able to determine the position of a body in space. A smart display would, based transfer of this information, different images to users who are at different points in space. A viewer who is left of the screen would get to see a different representation than one that is right.

If the eyes of the viewer perceive different images, this could cause a stereoscopic 3D effect, without a required polarized or LCD shutter glasses. This could be the answer to the question of the suitability of 3D mass.

Many may remember the principle of Kinect Microsoft’s (formerly Natal Project) for the Xbox 360. Mid June, Microsoft introduced the motion control in California.

Moreover, the record companies continue to demand different prices. So far all the songs cost one U.S. dollars - the industry had pushed for a differentiated model. hp 550 battery

The new version of the professional notebook MacBook Pro is also the largest with 17 inch notebook manufacturer’s lighter and thinner than ever before. The battery has a lifespan of up to five years and was thus more efficient than any predecessor.

Changes were also announced at the Software: The multimedia package in iLife included photo software automatically detects faces in the future and can display all images of a person’s mouse.

Technology visions from Las Vegas

With the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2009 has now officially begun for the technology world. Despite the crisis atmosphere, there are a lot to admire: Mini-projectors, 3D scanners and webcams, wireless chargers as well as new television waiting for the visitors. hp pavilion zt1000 battery

Projectors as small as a cell phone? announced Großmundig many manufacturers already have the mini-projectors for some time now, with Samsung allows two prototypes followed by the first MBP200 deeds. For cinematic enjoyment, it is obviously not, but as the bloggers report from Engadget, the small projector raises a meter away from a respectable bright picture on the wall.

There does not even need the laptop: The mite can read the videos and presentations of a micro-SD card, is the sound of a small integrated speakers. If you still need a little more privacy, the files can be played on a small built-in display.

Do the batteries running out, can be charged at some of the mini-projector with the wireless charger Powermat. Rather than in each machine individually to slot in to the socket, can cell phone, MP3 player, digital camera, and even notebooks are loaded by positioning it on the power pad. hp pavilion zx5000 battery

This invention is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, which is used for example in electric toothbrushes for years. Even data should be transferred so according to the manufacturer. But the technology also disadvantages: you have every device has a second skin over material that is reminiscent of a transparent cover for MP3 player. Still impractical, the use of adapters, which are used instead of the device to Powermat. The power supply then works on the mini-USB port of the device - wireless is no longer, however.

Year after year, the industry uses the CES to introduce new innovations in 3D. This must not necessarily be televisions, monitors, or special glasses rotate. Quite cute is because the 3D Webcam from the British manufacturer PDT. The Minoru3D reminiscent of a small robot: Two huge blue eyes gaze from the red oval head, on the monitor, he holds on with two red arms. The eyes are the two camera lenses, which are needed for the three-dimensional effect.

The webcam allows Skype or Windows Live Messenger to chat in three dimensions. The only downside: in order for the room effect stops, you must set up a Pappbrille, as we know them from old 3D-illustrated books. This outdated technology has some disadvantages: As one lens is red and the other blue, the colors are distorted. In addition, solving these glasses from some people headaches. In the United States and Britain are already the webcam for about 65 € in Germany, it is not yet available. lenovo thinkpad x300 battery

Three-dimensional scanner to work out of the house RealView. For the model range of the 360 degree 3D desktop scanner is according to the manufacturer to the first devices for individuals with which objects can be detected in space with the computer. Therefore they must be placed on a round disc that arise during the scanning process, two cameras rotate once complete. RealView announced for CES three versions of the scanner.

In terms of TV sets at CES confirms a trend: flat screen TVs are ready for the Internet. Sun viewers will continue to have access without a PC directly and on selected Internet content and video. Responsible here are Sony and Samsung, who have brought with Yahoo a well-known partners from the online industry in the boat. Panasonic also shows devices that YouTube videos as well as this one can get the Google search engine specialists on the screen.

The aim of the producers is of course to earn extra money from the Internet offers. One approach is to offer pay movies at your fingertips. The viewer would then save the path to the video. Sony already makes this mouth is: In collaboration with the online retailer Amazon is already closed. If and when the offer is still Germany, but is uncertain. lenovo thinkpad x301 battery

Also for the time being only in the U.S. is expected to offer video by LG will be available. The South Korean manufacturer is equipping some of its LCD and plasma TVs with access to an online video store Netflix. Subscribers can current films and television series have direct access to the TV. The selection includes the provider that around 12,000 titles.
