PHOTOS OF NEW INOVATION

1. Future printers

          Technology is improving at an alarming rate–from high-tech computers and mobile phones to smaller, more advanced entertainment systems and even ultra-fast inkjet printers. It wasn’t that long ago when we all used to print out documents using slow and noisy, black and white dot matrix printers. Now, we’re able to print twice as much document in less time in full-color inkjet printers; and it won’t be long before we see an evolution in inkjet printers and experience all sorts of technological advancements we once thought were impossible. There are already signs of what the future technology of printers holds–from inkless printers to those that can do 3D print outs. Here are just some of the advancements that are already in development that herald in the new age of printers.

2. FLACON : Virtual Storage Bottle

          We already have the means to store a massive amount of images in our various devices, so many that we cannot possibly see them all in a lifetime. “Flacon” offers the ways to casually enjoy such a volume of visuals. The images emerge on an inorganic electroluminescent display. Among them, images selected according to anniversaries and the user’s emotions are projected outward through a projector.

3. GUMI : Ubiquitous Media Chip

          In this service proposal, RFID chips hold the usage rights to images and music available on the network. The chips are covered in a gummy capsule, and are edible after use. When the play unit is connected to the container, the basic unit, it can be used as an audio player. By setting it in the cradle connected to the display through wireless LAN, users can also enjoy visual contents. The chips are sold in packages just like candies. Blank chips on which users can allocate data will also be available.

4. WACCA : Visual Memory In A Bracelet

          Just like our memories come alive when we take our favorite objects in our hands, visual memories and their tools should be more closely related. The performance of visual memory devices, such as resolution and memory, will eventually reach their usability saturation points. However, just like wearing wristwatches, they will be worn like accessories rather than highly functional tools. Looking into the landscape through an opening, this bracelet will capture visual images in the angles adapting to the distance from the viewers’ faces through distance sensors installed in the device. Furthermore, users can browse through the visual images on its viewer and also display them just like a picture frame.

5. NAVE : 360-Degree Visual Communication Device

          We have seen video phones hundreds of times in movies. However, why can’t we act naturally in front of videophone cameras? Conventional visual communications at a distance have been limited due to the display devices and terminals. This terminal enables showing of the surrounding atmosphere and group-to-group communication with a round display and a central super-wide-angle camera.

6. Camera Glasses Record Your Life

          Let your friends and family experience life through your eyes with the Social Video Electric Eyewear glasses. Developed by Vergence Labs, the Social Video glasses feature a tiny camera in the center able to record audio and 720p video, which is saved to an SD card. The captured video can then be posted on the video sharing site YouGen.TV, which connects with a number of social media platforms. The Social Video Electric Eyewear glasses also function as electronically powered sunglasses, with the lens tint able to shift from lighter to darker with the press of a button.Although video glasses are not new, the designers have plans to increase functionality by adding Wi-Fi for live streaming capabilities, and possibly incorporate biometrics into the sharing by adding wearable sensors.

7. Universal Translator says it in Your Voice

          A prototype software from Microsoft is able to translate the speakers' voices into another language quickly enough to allow them to carry on a conversation. Recently displayed at TechFest, the 'universal translator' preserves the actual sound of the user's voice while translating it into 26 different languages. To operate the translator, users will need to first spend about an hour with the software to give it a chance to learn their speech patterns and characteristics. Once the software has been accustomed to the speaker's voice it can translate in real time.

8. Understoodit Raises its Hand for Students

          A new app called Understoodit lets students anonymously let a teacher know when they're getting confused in class, allowing the teacher to go back over the topic. Developed by Liam Kaufman of Toronto, the Understoodit is geared toward college students. To use, the instructor sets up an account and gives students access to log in through their smartphones or laptops. Students can choose between two options during the lecture, "understood" or "confused", with the data sent in real-time back to the instructor's laptop. Kaufman remembers resisting asking questions during class lectures, and hopes to alleviate some of that insecurity in students today.

9. PAL-V Flying Car

          The PAL-V brings flying cars to the real world, incorporating a three-wheeled vehicle and a single retractable rotor and propeller. The PAL-V includes a patented "tilting system" that provides it with motorcycle-like agility. It is allowed to fly at altitudes under 4000 feet and requires only a Sports Pilot license to operate, with a short take off and landing capability that make it easy to land in a variety of areas.The PAL-V can transform from car to gyrocopter, and back again, in about 10 minutes, which makes it ideal for a variety of professional uses such as medical and police.

10. Pebble Smartwatch Displays Email

          

       The Pebble Smartwatch communicates with phones via Bluetooth, vibrating silently to signal incoming calls and able to incorporate a host of useful apps. The Pebble can be programmed to receive an array of notifications, including Twitter, caller ID, and calendar alerts, and a shake of the wrist will dismiss the message. The watch face can be customized and optimized for running or bicycling, and new apps can be created and distributed through the Pebble Apps store.
