The jury is still out on whether wearable computing is really the next big thing in mobile technology, but that certainly won’t stop eager developers from moving in on the market early.
Google Glass may have brought wearable technology in to the headlines, but Francesco Giartosio had started his augmented reality project, called GlassUp, two years ago. The project takes the form of pair of glasses, and it will display SMS messages, emails, and notifications, much like Google Glass does.
Before Google Glass, everyone said our project was a silly project
But that’s really where the similarities end, as GlassUp is simply a second-screen output for internet-connected devices, which is quite similar to what the Pebble smart watch does. One key difference is in the way information is presented, information is presented in the center of your vision, rather than off-center like Google Glass.
GlassUp doesn’t have a powerful CPU, so it can’t do any real processing on-board, and it doesn’t even have a camera either. But this may end up working to GlassUp’s advantage, as it could end up being a bit cheaper than Google’s offering. Giartosio says that the device will be priced at $399 and should offer around 150 hours of standby battery life and eight hours of continuous use, thanks to its lack of a powerful CPU.
The start-up project is also heavily focused on appearances, and is determined not to make you look like a “cyborg”. If you’re unsure about the slightly cyber-punk look of Google Glass, the Italian made GlassUp may be a more stylish alternative.
In-depth look into some of the lighting technologies currently in the works at Audi. One of our favorites was the Matrix Beam headlight system.
Matrix Beam takes into account satellite navigation location, as well
as onboard video camera images to adjust lighting. The system is so
precise, however, that Matrix Beam is capable of illuminating “the areas
between several vehicles in complex situations,” according to an Audi
press release, which is demonstrated in the photo in the above photo
gallery with the man holding a flashlight and two beams of light on
either side of him.
Audi has dialed-in the Matrix Beam system and will be implementing
it into the refreshed 2015 A8. Sadly, it won’t be coming to the States.
Why not? Presently, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) requires automakers to have both a high- and
low-beam setting on the headlights. Since the Matrix Beam would do both
automatically, Audi does not include such a switch. Audi and several
other European automakers have petitioned the NHTSA to change and update
these regulations so that they better reflect the current state of
lighting technology. Good luck with that, Audi and friends.
Audi is set to unveil the refreshed A8 with Matrix Beam headlights at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show.
Yahoo on Monday officially opened the flood gates to allow users to
claim a more desirable username that was once owned by someone else.
Users have from now until August 7 to request their top five choices for a new Yahoo ID according to a blog post on the subject.
In the event your top choice isn’t available, Yahoo will try one of
your backups and so on. The company said they will send out an e-mail in
mid-August informing users which of their selections are available with
a link to claim it. You’ll need to act fast though as the link is only
valid for 48 hours.
Sometimes a website may require your email address but if that site isn’t trustworthy, you are very likely to use a disposable email service like 10minutemail.com or Mailinator.com to complete the sign-up process.
We tend to have a transactional and very temporary relationship with these disposable email accounts. Once the purpose is solved, the mailbox is abandoned and we will generate a new address the next time another website asks for our “real” email address.
MailDrop.cc is a new provider of disposable addresses but what makes them a little different is that they let you use custom (memorable) aliases for your temporary email address and your mailbox will stay around forever so you can use the same address later on other sites as well.
There are some rules though. Your inbox will hold a total of 10 messages and all the messages will be deleted if the mailbox stays inactive for 24 hours. The email address itself will however continue to exist. Also, the service accepts only text mails and any file attachments will be removed before the message is delivered to your inbox.
One more thing. Since MailDrop requires no logins or passwords, anyone can see your mailbox if they know, or happen to guess, your email alias. Thus, use the service purely for throwaway and temporary e-mail addresses.
Back in early 2012, before the world had heard of Google Glass, the tech world was ablaze with rumours that the search giant was beavering away on augmented reality goggles.
As
the days went by, it was clear that not only was this true, but that
Google's dream of wearable technology was far, far closer to release
than anyone would have guessed.
Roll forward just over a year and the first versions are in the hands of developers who went into a lottery to fork out $1,500 for their own pair of spectacles.
TechRadar has had time with the Google Glass Explorer so you can find plenty more information right there.
But
what exactly is Google Glass? Why is it attracting all this attention
and what are the implications - both good and bad - of having a
Google-eye view of the world?
Google Glass and its Prism Display
What is Google Glass?
Google Glass is an attempt to free data
from desktop computers and portable devices like phones and tablets,
and place it right in front of your eyes.
Essentially, Google
Glass is a camera, display, touchpad, battery and microphone built into
spectacle frames so that you can perch a display in your field of
vision, film, take pictures, search and translate on the go.
The
principle is one that has been around for years in science fiction, and
more recently it's become a slightly clunky reality. In fact, the
"heads-up display" putting data in your field of vision became a reality
as early as 1900 when the reflector sight was invented Google Glass uses display technology instead to put data in front (or
at least, to the upper right) of your vision courtesy of a prism
screen. This is designed to be easily seen without obstructing your
view. According to Google
the display is "the equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from
eight feet away". There's no official word on native resolution, but
640 x 360 has been widely mooted.
Overlaying data into your
vision has obvious benefits; many of which are already functional in
Google Glass. Directions become more intuitive (although it sounds like
there is no GPS on board so you will have to pair it with your phone),
you can view real-time translations or transcriptions of what is being
said, and you can scroll through and reply to messages - all on the fly.
What can Google Glass do?
As well as Google's own list of
features, the early apps for Google Glass provide a neat glimpse into
the potential of the headset.
As well as photos and film
- which require no explanation - you can use the Google hangout
software to video conference with your friends and show them what you're
looking at.
You'll also be able to use Google Maps to get
directions, although with GPS absent from the spec list, you'll need to
tether Glass to your phone.
To do that, Google offers the MyGlass app. This pairs
your headset with an Android phone. As well as sharing GPS data, this
means messages can be received, viewed on the display, and answered
using the microphone and Google's voice-to-text functionality.
Google has given its Glass project a big boost by snapping up voice specialists DNNresearch.
That
functionality will also bring the ability to translate the words being
spoken to you into your own language on the display. Obviously you'll
need a WiFi connection or a hefty data plan if you're in another
country, but it's certainly a neat trick if it works.
Third parties are also already developing some rather cool/scary apps
for Google Glass - including one that allows you to identify your
friends in a crowd, and another that allows you to dictate an email.
The
New York Times app gives an idea how news will be displayed when it's
asked for: a headline, byline, appropriate image and number of hours
since the article was published are displayed.
How it feels through Google Glass
What are the Google Glass specifications?
As well as a mooted 640 x 360 display, the built-in camera is a 5MP snapper that can film at 720p.
Battery
life is apparently a day, although that's with the usual "typical use"
caveat, which probably excludes a lot of videoing.
There's 16GB
of flash memory built into the device, although only 12GB will be
available for user storage. The device will sync to your Google Drive in
the cloud
Bluetooth and WiFi will be built in, but no GPS chip -
so the Glass will probably work best alongside an Android phone,
although you can pair with any Bluetooth enabled phone.
What's the Google Glass price?
The Google Glass Explorer (the developer version being sent out now) costs $1,500 - around £985 or AU$1,449.
The
consumer versions, which are expected to arrive by the end of 2013, are
expected to be a little cheaper, although any actual prices remain
speculative. They are unlikely to be super-cheap - but Google's success
with the Nexus 7 tablet may prompt the company to subsidise some of the
cost.

When is the Google Glass release date?
A final release date has not been announced, but sources tell us that the original suggestion of 2014 was actually overly pessimistic and we could see Google Glass arrive in time for the end of 2013.
Huawei(network provider in China) in collaboration with China Mobile has
successfully deployed 4G services on Mount Everest, about 5,200 meters
above sea level. Announcing the development, Huawei revealed that work was completed
last month and users can now access 4G services like streaming live HD
videos from the base camp on the mountain. According to David Wang,
president of Huawei Wireless Networks, said, “Bringing 4G to Mount
Everest marks an important milestone in global LTE development.”
Wang said that successful deployment of 4G on Mount Everest showcases
4G's global potential and the impact it was having on global telecom
markets. Having 4G connectivity at the base camp is definitely a
milestone but, there is a long way to go before the services are made
available at the top of the mountain which is another 3kms higher.
Mt. Everest already has 3G connectivity, thanks to the work for 2008
Olympics Games torch relay and users not having 4G smartphones can
always use the 3G connectivity.

In photography, shutter release remotes have a useful purpose. Using one with your camera is an effective way to reduce camera shake: You can put yourself into family or group photos without having to set a timer (or pick the person you like the least), or create interesting long-exposure images. Satechi, an accessories maker of everything from speakers to presentation pointers, recently introduced the Smart Trigger, a Bluetooth receiver that lets you control the camera’s shutter remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Besides basic shutter control, the Smart Trigger helps you easily shoot long-exposure shots and time-lapse videos. Despite the low price, is it an important accessory you need? Let’s look at it further.
Features and design
The Smart Trigger is a small lightweight device – about the size of a box of Tic-Tacs – that’s designed to fit on top of your DSLR’s hot shoe and act as a remote shutter release you can control with your smartphone
or tablet. Depending on the version you buy, it comes with a cable to connect the Smart Trigger to match the camera’s remote control terminal. As of press time, the Smart Trigger is available for Canon’s EOS DSLRs (going as far back as the EOS 10D), as well as select PowerShot and limited Pentax models. Satechi says Nikon and Panasonic versions are forthcoming.
satechi-smart-trigger-1 The unit has a single button on top that’s used to pair with a smart device, put it to sleep, or re-pair the connection. There’s also an indicator light that lets you know if it’s in pairing mode (a steady flash) or that it’s going to sleep. The Smart Trigger uses two AAA batteries, which Satechi says will power the device for up to 10 years. Since we don’t have that kind of time to test it out, we’ll take their word for it.
To control the Smart Trigger, you will need the proprietary app loaded on your smart device, (free on iOS; an Android version is in the works). The Smart Trigger communicates with your device using Bluetooth 4.0, and Satechi says it has a range of 50 feet (the low energy attribute of Bluetooth 4.0 also accounts for the long battery life). When you first launch the app, it will scan for the Smart Trigger device. The app handles the Bluetooth pairing automatically, and there’s no passcode to enter.
Once the Smart Trigger and app are paired, you are directed to the Regular Shot mode, which has a giant virtual button that controls the shutter. This mode is the most basic: Press the button, and the camera takes a shot. If you are in the camera’s bulb mode, you can hold on the button to keep the shutter open for long exposures; let go of the button, and the shutter closes. The next mode, Manual Shot, requires your camera to be in bulb mode. Here, you can set the focus and keep the shutter open using the shutter lock button; a timer indicates exposure time. Manual Shot is ideal for capturing long exposure scenes like light trails and fireworks.
With an application filed on June 3 and made public last week, Apple is seeking to trademark "iWatch" in Japan. This comes on the heels of news that the company filed for the trademark in Russia last month.
Of course, this has added new energy to rumors of Apple releasing the iWatch later this year, however the trademark news must be taken with a grain of salt: Major tech companies like Apple are constantly filing applications for trademarks in order to protect themselves if a certain product were to exist. An iWatch may be in the works, but by filing the trademarks, Apple is seeking to make sure it has rights to the name, no matter what.
Here's a summary at the patent applications that have fueled the iWatch rumors to date:
September 2012: Apple was granted a patent for an electromagnetic induction system that could allow a device to be charged by shaking, a technology that would certainly be useful for the iWatch.
December 2012: The company was awarded a patent for a new process for creating high-quality curved glass.
February 2013: Apple was granted a patent for an "integrated touch sensor and solar assembly," which would allow a solar panel to capture energy from the sun while also being an optical sensor of a touchscreen. This technology could allow for Apple to make compact yet highly capable and energy efficient gadgets, like an iWatch.
Also in February, a patent for a "bi-stable spring with with flexible display," originally filed in August of 2011, made headlines. The patent describes a full-length, bendable, touchscreen display, and also a "slap-bracelet" mechanism for attaching the device to the users wrist for a custom fit. Additionally, the device would be able to sync with iPads, iPhones, and other Apple devices.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple had been granted a patent, originally applied for in January, for a curved, flexible battery. Rumors circulated that the curved battery would be part of an iWatch or an even more mysterious Apple product: a bendable smartphone.
Many analysts have taken the information from these patents and assumed the iWatch will launch later this year, but noted KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a solid track record for predicting Apple product rollouts, expects the iWatch to ship in late 2014. Kuo released a report on May 22, writing that the iWatch will be Apple's first move into the wearable tech field, against Google Inc's glass, which is still in its "explorer" phase, wherein a select group of consumers were chosen to buy the new device for $1500. Moreover, he said the device will have a 1.5- to 2-inch screen and will focus on biometrics, which could provide heightened security features as well as health-care apps for measuring heartbeat, blood pressure, distance walked in a day, and more.
With the iWatch rumors so prevalent, Apple's main competitor has responded in earnest so as not to miss out on the potential market for smart watches. In March, Samsung Electronics announced it was developing a smart watch. As Lee Young Hee, the company's Executive Vice President for Mobile told Bloomberg in an interview, "We've been preparing the watch product for so long...We are preparing products for the future, and the watch is definitely one of them."
Samsung obviously does not value the element of surprise as much as Apple does, but considering how the Internet allows rumors to spread so wide and so fast, maybe Apple's use of secrecy is only a formality -- now part of the company's tradition.
Have you ever wished you had vision that could zoom in and out, like the Terminator? Well maybe soon you can.
A team is working on a new telescopic contact lens that is just over a millimeter thick. The lens is surrounded by a ring of movable components that magnify view by 2.8 times. As of yet, it is not able to compute the facial structure of what is being looked at but liquid crystal shutters allow the wearer to switch between normal and magnified vision.
The contact lens was developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland and at the University of California, San Diego by Eric Tremblay and his colleagues. The research and developement for the project has been funded by DARPA.
So far the team has integrated the LCD shutter mechanism into a pair of modified Samsung 3D TV glasses. The lens has been tested on an optomechanical model of the human eye and it is hoped that it won’t be too long before the LCD technology can be embedded directly into the lens itself, doing away with the 3D glasses.
According to New Scientist, the researches have said “Although the magnified images were clearly visible in our tests, acuity fell short of the design specification.” The team believe that if they can improve the refractive optics, then any diffraction related problems will be solved.
So while we await this interesting piece of techology, we will just have to make do with normal specs and cheesy Arnie impressions!
Unrivalled control of a robotic arm has been achieved using a paralysed woman's thoughts, a US study says. Jan Scheuermann, who is 53 and paralysed from the neck down, was able to deftly grasp and move a variety of objects just like a normal arm. Brain implants were used to control the robotic arm, in the study reported in the Lancet medical journal. Experts in the field said it was an "unprecedented performance" and a "remarkable achievement". Jan was diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration 13 years ago and progressively lost control of her body. She is now unable to move her arms or legs.
Robo-arm
She was implanted with two sensors - each four millimetres by four millimetres - in the motor cortex of her brain. A hundred tiny needles on each sensor pick up the electrical activity from about 200 individual brain cells. "The way that neurons communicate with each other is by how fast they fire pulses, it's a little bit akin to listening to a Geiger counter click, and it's that property that we lock onto," said Professor Andrew Schwartz from the University of Pittsburgh. The pulses of electricity in the brain are then translated into commands to move the arm, which bends at the elbow, wrist and could grab an object. Jan was able to control the arm after the second day of training and over a period of 14 weeks became increasing skilful. The report said she gained "co-ordination, skill and speed almost similar to that of an able-bodied person" by the end of the study.
Canon has always been one step ahead of the pack when it comes to putting video in DSLRs. But the new tech in the Canon EOS 70D could change things forever.
The Canon EOS 70D uses a new 20.2-megapixel APS-C sensor. That spec might not sound all the remarkable from the outset, but the sensor's architecture is completely new, which allows the camera to achieve the fastest and most precise continuous autofocus while recording video that we've ever seen.
When recording video, DSLRs use sensor-based autofocus, rather than the optical autofocus sensors that you use when you're simply shooting photos using the viewfinder. Initially, sensor-based systems where just too slow to work continuously because they only used contrast ratios to find focus. By sacrificing a couple of photodiodes on the sensor to phase detection, the new hybrid system was able to do the work of finding focus fast enough that it was reasonable to call it effective.
Now this year, the 70D introduces a new phase-detection only system Canon calls Dual Pixel CMOS AF. That sounds fancy, and actually, it is. The new CMOS sensor's 20.2-megapixel resolution has been divided into 40.1 million-photodiode architecture so that you've basically got two diodes capturing light for each pixel.
Why? Because now there is a phase detection diode at every point on the sensor. Instead of just a few scattered about you've got a sensor peppered with phase detection sensors. (The two diodes at each pixel point synthesize, so you're not losing light sensitivity-at least, that's what Canon tells us.)
In practice, this new AF system is pretty remarkable.The speed and precision of the autofocus during video was fast and precise.
One of the nice things about the tech is that it gets rid of the old ""focus hunt"" that inches closer and closer to focus. Instead, the 70D's focus algorithms find the focus super fast and then slides the focal point smoothly into place.
The camera will be available in September for $1200 (body alone), $1349 (W/18-55mm kit lens), and $1549 (w/18-135mm kit lens).
MIT researchers have demonstrated the application of using
Wi-Fi signals to track the movements, locations and number of people inside
buildings. Dubbed Wi-Vi, the inexpensive and portable
"through-the-wall" radar system could have practical applications in
law enforcement, search and rescue operations and home security, even if it
does present some potential privacy concerns.
While listening in on radio signals transmitted by standard
Wi-Fi routers and access points, a Wi-Vi transceiver blankets the area with its
own low-power, directional, wireless transmissions. As objects move within the
target area, signals are absorbed and reflected differently. The device
monitors these slight changes, giving Wi-Vi operators the ability to determine
the movements, locations, speeds and the number of moving objects (e.g. people)
behind walls.
