Android-powered helmet shows driving direction


TECH POP-UPS

Google Glass might be next big thing in wearable computers, once it becomes commercially available, that is, but it might not be practical or even feasible in some scenarios, like for motorcycle riders. Enter Skully P1, an Android-enabled bike helmet that becomes not only your entertainment and augmented-reality companion on the road, but might even be your lifeline. A new Android-powered, Bluetooth-linked motorcycle helmet features a display that appears in front of our right cheek. The headgear, called Skully Helmet, is capable of showing driving directions, the weather and other basic interface elements, Discovery News reported.

The Redwood City, California, startup's helmet can also show the view behind you, which is captured by a 180-degree camera that has been placed at the back.You're on your beast, riding along a long winding road and suddenly you come to a fork. Not knowing which way to turn, you are forced to get up, pull your phone out of your pocket and turn on the navigation. Definitely painful being a biker. Not just will you have to get past all the layers of protective gear but taking a break right when you planned to open throttle can be highly frustrating even. But how about if while riding, your helmet just showed you the way and guided you?

There's now a helmet that does just exactly that! Skully is an Android-powered, Bluetooth-linked motorcycle helmet that features a display that appears in front of the rider's right cheek. The helmet acts just like a navigation device and shows not just riding directions and routes but even the weather and basic other information.

TECH POP-UPS


Since the helmet is Android powered, you can sync it with your smartphone. Skully uses bluetooth to sync to your smartphone and you can do everything from play/skip tracks, make calls, etc just through voice commands. The helmet comes with all the features of a smartphone accessory which provides not just safety but even advanced features.

However, the best part about the helmet is the rear-camera. A 180 Degree rear view camera gives you an unrestricted view if your back and the sides eliminating the need to keep focusing in your side-view mirrors. The camera will definitely be of much use on slopes when it gets difficult to see the vehicles behind.

However, with a camera and having the road constantly in front of you, won't it get distracting? According to a post by Skully, "No. The display is positioned outside the riders primary field of view, and appears approximately 6 meters away. This means you can see the road ahead without any obstruction from the display. This display system simplifies the riding experience because you no longer have to avert your eyes from the road to see what is behind you or to find your route."

TECH POP-UPS


The software features are really cool but the main aim of the helmet is safety. Skully comes with a double visor and the anti-fog visor lens is glare, fog, and scratch resistant, optically correct, and lockable. It includes Skully’s Quick Release System to make shield swaps a snap.

Also, with the advanced helmet, comes the issue of a battery. According to the Skully website, the battery can last for 9 hours of continuous use. A regular USB charger can be used to charge the helmet, making it easy to charge even with a regular phone cord. 

Thank you very friends.

Xbox One Vs PlayStation 4


TECH POP-UPS

Welcome to a new generation of games and entertainment. Where games push the boundaries of realism. And television obeys your every command. Where listening to music while playing a game is a snap. And you can jump from TV to movies to music to a game in an instant. Where your experience is custom tailored to you. And the entertainment you love is all in one place. Welcome to the all-in-one, Xbox One & PlayStation 4.

A race and war has taken inception in consoles. It’s November, and two new consoles PS4 and Xbox One are welcoming their users to experience a next generation at this time due to their better strenghts, features and games.  PS4 has improved its graphic quality for looking more cinematic. Both consoles PS4 and Xbox One are on their ways to appeal to different kinds of gamers. Now we have to see that which One will surpass the other One. Let’s discuss both’s technology to give you a better idea.


TECH POP-UPS

Comparatively scores of gamers would argue that PS4 has got some catching up to do for multiplayer service, but Xbox Live is still better matchmaking and more reliable multiplayer. At this point of time Xbox’s built-in games including Forza Motorsport and Titanfall are making more positive effects.. PS4 got favor than Xbox One for its  giant resolution graphics in Battlefield and Call of Duty:Ghosts.



TECH POP-UPS


KINECT or CONTROLLER

TECH PO-UPS
The Kinect couldn't make its place in Xbox 360 last time, but I suppose at this time Microsoft has chalked out to embark this technology as a better entertaining feature for gamers in Xbox One. This unprecedented feature let you interact with Xbox in many ways. Kinect feature has profound resolution body-movement sensor and remarkable better voice recognition. Xbox One is ready to take your voice commands, gestures, remote control and Xbox One SmartGlass device. Xbox One has been welcoming its users to next-gen of games and entertainment since 22 November. Xbox One games are ready to touch the periphery of realism.

PLAYSATION 4 CAMERA


The PlayStation 4 has a motion-tracking camera too, but it is strictly optional.This isn't a bad move either – and being cheaper than Xbox One should attract users toward it, but it seems users will put it on second option. It means developers will cut down their interest and motivation to build experiences with the PlayStation 4 Camera in mind.. The reason being the microphone-equipped camera isn't available as a standard with every console. Although the company gathers optimistic that interest in the peripheral will grow (because PlayStation consist of Eye-heavy Playroomtech demo with each console), its not included from the launch bundle divides the market. By definition, developers developing games that use the camera will be catering to a smaller subset of the overall user base. The camera doesn't seem to be ever become as integral to the PlayStation 4 experience as the Kinect is to the Xbox One, but at least the PS4 costs less as a result.


TECH POP-UPS

At first glance,apparently both console’s gamepads don’t look updated and different from their predecessors, but there are some hidden gems here. For instance, the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 controller features a new share button (more on that later), and clickable touchpad area reminiscent of the PlayStation Vita's rear touch panel. It also doubles as a motion controller, though you'll need to pick up the aforementioned PS4 camera to track the PlayStation Move -esque LED on the gamepad's front edge.

On the surface, Microsoft's updated gamepad sounds better refined variation of the Xbox 360 seems, but it actually houses a subtle evolution in tactile feedback: Impulse Triggers. In addition to the classic controller rumble, Xbox One users will be able to feel localized force feedback under each of the gamepad's triggers, which can lend profound to driving cars, firing weapons or even feeling a character's pulse. Microsoft's gamepad also hits the mark in local multiplayer: The Xbox One can connect to up to eight controllers simultaneously.

ENTERTAINMENT


If you're in the middle of making decision going for right console,  look at the games. Microsoft and Sony can promise all the media, social sharing and motion sensors in the world, but without something to actually play, their next-gen consoles are little more than glorified HTPCs.

If software moves hardware, then Microsoft is building a stronger case for day one. At launch, the Xbox One is slated to have more than twice as many exclusive (retail) games than the PlayStation 4, including Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5 and Ryse: Son of Rome with the heavily anticipated Titanfall joining them within the console's launch window. By comparison, Sony's camp hits the ground with only Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack under its exclusive banner, eventually to be followed by Driveclub and Infamous: Second Son. Buying a console on software alone is still very much a matter of personal preference, but make no mistake: PS4 owners will be dipping into the multi-platform releases a little sooner than their Xbox One counterparts.

THE FAVORITE GAMES


Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. The complete balance of power and performance, Xbox One drags gaming  in an entire new level. Consisting on realism that you have ever played. And a new generation of multiplayer is knocking the doors of online competent.



SUPERB MULTIPLAYER SERVICE

With millions of players around the world, and more than a decade of multiplayer experience, Xbox Live is the proven place to play. And now, everyone is invited to experience smarter matchmaking, less waiting, and better performance with Xbox Live on Xbox One. You can even record, share and broadcast your moments of glory.

Artificial Intelligence near in future


TECH POP-UPS


This post can be dangerous for call centre agents and customer representative officers. According to Dmitry Aksenove assertion, in few years call centre agents and customer representative officers will be replaced with  Artificial Intelligent (AI).  Dmitry Aksenov has been pursuing to prepare such computer or machine that can think like human does. Very talented 23 years old Dmitry Aksenov has stablished a company "London Brand Management".  Company provides services to those companies which like to outsource their work to third party. This system is also on the name of company name as  LBM (London Brand Management) which has been titled "The Brain". Users interact with LBM in the form of SMS or e-mail. This system has ability to reply within five minutes. Now-a-days Chris Brownridge director of BMW is using this technology in its new electric car " the i3"  to answer the basic questions about this car.

TECH POP-UPS

Brownridge says that "this technology is a super machine to answer the questions like human. As you speak with a professional representative of a company , similarly LBM  is able to answer perfectly."  Further he says that "this system works 24 hours and users may ask any sort of question that it can answer acitvely". Many users have already checked it. Human being takes some time to answer the questions but this machine takes no time to reply. According to Aksenov human takes three seconds to answer the question normally after reading it. LBM is able to understand the content of the question, it can remember your question and it can understand humrous sense as well. Aksenov assersts, this technology is a giant step of development in the field of Service Automation. Service Automation is a field in this era which converts human difficult works into machine.

LBM is based on cloud that means it's approacable from everywhere in the world such as Gmail and Facebook. It can answer thousands of questoin in one time. Its memory is very strong. The Brain technolody can work equal to thousands of call centre agent staff. Further Aksenov says "Human can store limited data in his brain whereas LBM can remember unlimited data."  It doesn't take rest at all, on the other hand call center agents work in different shifts and if an agent gets absent, it influences all the other shift. Company has to spend a lot of time on training for a new agent.

TECH POP-UPS

This company is focusing to take the place of traditional marketing and call center agents. NHS cancer hospital and a Japanese electronics company are going to avail this technology. Now-a-days LBM is working for these companies. Thousands of industries can avail this system. Interested will have to pay for this technology for one time only in against of implementing it for required brand. Once this technology is implemented, company issues a licence for the brand. This technology only learns once and works non stop then on whereas on a new employee company has to spend time and money both for training him, when the training is completed, company has to pay now monthly basis salary.

TECH POP-UPS

LBM company is the only company which is working on this technology. Microsoft and Google and other related all companies are working on Artificial Intelligence. IBM is the top listed in this work which has been working for two decades with many successes in this regards. Watson super computer is main success of IBM. Watson super computer works like an intelligent system and has ability to answer the question. In 2011 Watson super computer defeated humans in a TV show quiz competitions. However this system couldn't give answers of some questions due to less information about the questions in its data base. Watson super computer is being used health care departments &  available for trading works.

In next five years this system will surpass the human knowledge. Aksenov says, "It will do such complex works that human is doing now." For employees this news isn't good. I suppose this system will not be less than a blessing for companies, but unemployment will be influenced due to this system. In order to tackle this problem neither companies have a strategy nor Government so far.

Super Cookies of Microsoft & Google


TECH POP-UPS


Friends these aren't eatable cookies what you like to eat  and serve guests with tea. Actually these cookies are text files and websites save them in user's PC by means of bowers. Cookies consist of basic knowledge  about users. For the last two decades cookies have been with us. Web-savvy people have old acquaintance with them, but now the time has approached to farewell them. Now their technology isn't sufficient to fulfill current requirements. Microsoft & Google and other companies are fancying to go for alternative cookies to accomplish modern technology needs. For instance when a user logs out after logging in from Amazon website his name still appears on Amazon website in spite of being logged out. Similarly, you can see remember me check box in Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo account log in pages. If you tic the check box next time when you log in again, these sites will directly log in your account without asking for username and passwords. Cookies can only be read by only those sites which save them users PCs. Advertisement companies also use cookies for targeted advertisements. Therefore the use of cookies means a lot to advertisement companies.

Internet is no longer limited to computer and laptop, its also being used in cellphone, smart TV  and gaming console to a great extent. Internet users change their habits, but cookies are still in the same functional forms. Due to different use of devices for internet advertisement companies are unable to track the same user on different devices for that very reason advertisement companies are facing problems for their targeted advertisements. An other problem with simple cookies is being disabled by browsers. Due to their reasons cookies days are numbered. Microsoft and Google announced to prepare "Super cookies" which will be capable to track down the users on different devices. 

Since cookies directly concern to advertisement company and money therefore we can say top companies such as Facebook , Apple and Samsung will be in the favor of super cookies. How super cookies will work is still is unknown. It is considered that super cookies will connect serial numbers of different devices of user with their accounts such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. I got information from a resource that Google's cookies name is AdID. In some cases Facebook and Gmail companies have better knowledge than users know. These companies know that what type of product based website users have interest in. 

If I say these companies have the entire knowledge of users' digital life then I think would not be untrue. With the help of super cookies these companies will be able to know more about their users.

Thank you very much friends.

"Eyes-free Yoga" for blind and low-vision people, Microsoft Kinect based program


TECH POP-UPS

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual exercise that gets you rid of anxiety, stress, depression and brings peaceful state in your life. Lately in a conference SIGACESS International conference of computing and accessibility in Bellevue Wash, on 21 Oct, 2013 students of University of Washington presented a unique and unprecedented technology for blind and low-vision people to do yoga practice  by means of auditory feedback called "Eyes-free Yoga". A small team of UW Kyle Rector who's pursuing doctoral degree in computer Science and Engineering faculty coded a program based on geometry and law of cosines which she associated with Kinect device of Microsoft. Program instructs the Kinect device to read user's body angles. Kinect is a device by Microsoft which deals with motionery sensors in Xbox 360 video game console and Windows PCs. There are six typical class poses (exercises) that Eyes-free Yoga can guide the blind or low-vision users, such as Warrior 1 and 2, Tree, Chair pose etc.

TECH POP-UPS

This technology reads the central area of the body and gives auditory feedback to confirm either the user's alignment is correct or not, after this Eyes-free yoga proceeds to head, neck, arms an in last legs. Julie Kientz a UW assistant professor in Human Centered Design and Engineering and Cynthia a research assistant in Computer Science  and Engineering worked with Rector in this project, they believe that Eyes-free yoga can transform a typical visual activity into something that blind can also enjoy. "I see this as a good way of helping people who may not know much about  yoga to try something on their own and feel comfortable and confident doing it," Kientz said. "We hope this act is a gateway to encouraging people with visual impairments to try exercise or broader scale."


TECH POP-UPS

Since Rector wasn't the yoga instructor that's why she met many yoga instructors and mentors to understand the exact alignment positions. When Rector accomplished Eyes-free yoga program, she herself practiced and made the mistakes deliberately to examine the performance of Eyes-free yoga. She was quite satisfied with the results of this technology. "I tested it all on myself so I felt comfortable having someone else try it," she said. Having tested herself she gathered 16 blind and low-vision people in which some were layman about yoga, some were with little experience of yoga exercises and some were regular yoga class pupils. Thirteen (81%) of 16 said they would recommend to let the people know about this handy program.

Rector and her partners chalked out to make it available on the internet open source , however there isn't any further updates about launching. I will post about it my next post as soon as I get further information about Eyes-free yoga.

Thank you very much friends.

3D Eye-tracking Amazon's future Smartphones


TECH POP-UPS


According to new updates, Amazon is working on two Smartphones. Amazon is focusing to surpass the recent companies , such as Apple & Samsung in Smartphone technology. Therefore, Amazon is engrossed to develop such Smartphone in which there will be four cameras installed. Wow! really! yes friends and these four cameras will be able to manufacture 3D interface by recording user's eyes and face movements. The second Smartphone will remain same like others. There's a rumor about the second Smartphone that it will be offered complementary. However, Amazon has yet to make sure abut this rumor. Amazon had chalked out to debut these two Smartphones in the market in early time, but due to some hardware and software complexes delay prolonged up till now. It's expected that these two Smartphones will be launched in the mid of 2014. Most probably Amazon will use a modified FireOs version of Android.


TECH POP-UPS


I've been hearing about rumors for the last two years about releasing Amazon's two new Smartphones in the market, but still these Smartphones couldn't turn up with unknown reason. I suppose delay might be a market strategy. You know very well that how Apple & Samsung are casting a spell on users with their latest mainstreams and innovations in Smartphone series, for that very reason perhaps Amazon's think tank team is contemplating on a different innovation to draw users' attention toward it. Because precisely it is true that if Amazon introduces Smartphones without any specific modifications in them then its endeavor will go in vain because already there are two giant Smartphone companies are making the best in Smartphone products.


TECH POP-UPS


Last time when Amazon released its Tablet product, at that time Apple and Samsung were haunting in the market even though Amazon was able to make its well position in the market for its Tablet product. Sometime ago I also heard that Amazon was taking interest to develop console gaming based on Android system. This point confirms that Amazon's definitely working on Smartphones. When Amazon will launch them, is clueless so far. I suppose Amazon will make the most of its websites for advertisements about Smartphones because every fourth website belongs to Amazon in the world. Apple & Samsung don't have such platform.


TECH POP-UPS


A super Smartphone with four cameras installed will not only for manufacturing 3D interface, but also let the users to control it with their head and eyes movement commands. Second Smartphone which will be available contract and contract-off , offered free of cost. Indeed these two Smartphones won't be launched in this year. We can expect something in the mid of next year.

I will remain in the follow up for further updates about Amazon's technology and try to convey in my next posts time to time, specially new versions of Tablets will be well clues to guess about Smartphones.

Thank you very much friends.

I think the disappearance of start button from Windows 8 at all was a burning question for users that Microsoft has solved now.  Along with start button there some of more features that Windows 8.1 got as follows:
 Now users can curb hot corner feature by disabling them from PC setting > PC and Devices > Corners and Edges.

(2) GOOGLE BALLOONS


Friends you must have used balloons on your birthdays hanging them on the walls and doors. Normally balloons balloons are for children. Google also used balloons for a special purpose, not for its birthday. Google created Balloons to provide the internet access to those people who were deprived fro internet connectivity due to poverty, lack of infrastructure and a remote scale. This project of Google called "Project Loon" started in a Christ Church with Google's think tank. Firstly in New Zealand thirty balloons filled with helium gas sent in stratosphere at about 20 km (65,000 ft) height (which is twice higher than air craft fly) to examine the experiment.


TECH POP-UPS


After this experiment Google developed a big chunk of balloons for 5-7 Billion people to provide them internet in different countries. Balloons have a giant size. They transmit signals which are caught by antennas placed at workplaces and side of homes relay the internet. Since balloons can't stay at one place in the air that's why they're steerable and controlled from Google's Command Center. By this unique technology Google is able to produce 3G-like speed of the internet. AMAZING technology friends.

World’s first Human Brain-to-Brain Interface prepared

TECH POP-UPS

Friends I believe you must have watched or heard about fiction movies. To be very honest whenever I watch this sort of movie, it’s over my head just like an air craft. I don’t understand what technology they are introducing in science fiction movies. If you see the history of an invention, first human thought the idea, then write its theory, theory phase can be long for some years or decades depending on the theory. In the last practical is performed.  Friends it means there are three phases of invention, first idea, second theory, third practical. In this era technology breakthroughs are at full swing. Every research group is striving to catch up innovations. Recently in University of Washington a group of researchers experimented human brain-to-brain communication experiment with the help of some equipment.
Brain-to-brain communication or interface means I will imagine an action, other person will do it. Friends why you put your hand on your head? Oh I see, my post is over your head. Ok let me tell you the entire information about this technology.

In August, 2013 Rajesh Rao, a University of Washington professor of computer science and engineering and his partner Andrea Stocco, a University of Washington research assistant professor in psychology at the University of Washington’s Institute for learning and Brain science and other team members worked on Human brain-to-brain interface technology and demonstrated it in the UW. Results were positive. Rao was sitting in the lab and Stocco was sitting in a campus away from Rao without a screen in front of him.

Rao was wearing a helmet type cap with electrodes connected to Electroencephalography also called EEG machine. “This machine reads electron activity in the brain and also used in hospitals for different types of tests”. On the other side Stocco was wearing a cap like swimmer wears and it was directly placed over his left motor cortex, this part of our brain controls the hand movement where Stocco placed the cap over his head.

Stocco’s cap was marked with stimulation Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation coil also called MTS. Friends this device make the brain to send desired command for an action in the body parts. It is very useful device. Other team members were connected on skype to observe the experiment.

Rao was looking at computer screen where a computer game was in front of him and he imagined that he moved his hand to press space bar button to fire in the game. His imagination was recorded by EEG and sent to MTS. In result Stocco’s index finger press the space bar button to fire and Rao saw a fire happened on his screen.
So friends did you notice Rao sent imagination command to do something for Stocco and in result action happened?

In coming years I suppose this technology will be strong enough to use for different types of tasks.

Thank you very much friends.
