Leap Motion Technology

Leap Motion Technology
By now, many of us are aware of the Leap Motion, a small, $70 gesture control system that simply plugs into any computer and, apparently, just works. If you've seen the gesture interfaces in Minority Report, you know what it does. More importantly, if you're familiar with the touch modality -- and at this point, most of us are -- the interface is entirely intuitive. It's touch, except it happens in the space in front of the screen, so you don't have to cover your window into your tech with all those unsightly smudges. To understand how subtly revolutionary Leap will be, watch the video below, shot by the folks at The Verge, where you'll also find more juicy details on the device's specs and inner workings.
Unlike a touchscreen interface, with the Leap, there's no friction. That sounds trivial, but it isn't. It's the difference between attempting to conduct a symphony with a wand and attempting to conduct the same symphony by sketching out what the orchestra should do next via chalk on a blackboard. Plus, Leap operates in three dimensions rather than two. Forget pinch-to-zoom; imagine "push to scroll," rotating your flattened hand to control the orientation of an object with a full six degrees of freedom, or using both hands at once to control either end of a bezier surface you're casually sculpting as part of an object you'll be sending to your 3D printer. The fact that the Leap can see almost any combination of objects - a pen, your fingers, all 10 fingers at once, should make every interface designer on the planet giddy with anticipation. If you thought that the touchscreen interface on the iPhone and subsequent tablets opened up a whole new way to interact with your device, imagine something that combines the intuitiveness of that experience with the possibility of such fine-grained control that you could do away with the trackpad or mouse entirely. The number of emergent properties that are inherent in an interface like Leap is mind-boggling. In their demos, its creators are fairly casual about its potential, preferring to show off its precision rather than imagine radical new applications for it. Judging by Leap Motion's indications that it's going to open an app store just for Leap, it's clear they're aiming these demos at least in part at the developers who will see the technology's potential and, like the thousands of coders who poured countless hours of effort into the iOS App store, create a panoply of applications so desirable that the Leap will become a must-have.

Latest Computer Technology
Computer technology is improving day by day with lots of innovative ideas that are developing these days. Researchers are finding new ways and studying new ways which help businesses and governments to use the capabilities of networking and computing technology. There are various advanced processors which are required in order to serve such domestic and business market. There are lot of developments that can done in the processors field these days with Intel which is effective in developing lot of core family of processors which is compared to be more powerful that old processors. The present core processor is said to be Intel core i3 and Intel core i7.
You can also see various new models of PCs which are also called as netbook. Though they are small in size are made available with various features like being compact which requires low power consumptions but gives great battery life than a larger notebook. Thus, there is a huge change that is going on in such areas and they are combined with cellular technology with touch screen, camera accessibility and lot more technologies used for computing services. The computing options are used greatly by improving storage capacity into smaller devices. So, thus there are various technologies that are coming up which helps user to be easily accessible to various options. If you want to know about latest computer technology then you can make use of blogs or any online source in an effective way to find latest news on computer tech world.

Samsung OLED TV
OLED panels consist of thousands of organic LED pixels that independently display richer and brighter images compared to current LED TVs, creating a picture that is breathtakingly clear and bursting with rich color, unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Floating Canvas Samsung OLED TVs bring beauty into any space with a timeless curved design that draws you into the picture and frame inspired by something you’d find in a modern art gallery. The One Connect box merges all cable connections into a single cable for a “clean back” finish. Samsung OLED TVs boast minimalistic elegance that’s stunning when turned on or off.
Multi View Two TVs in one: The first TV that allows two people simultaneously to watch different full-screen programs in Full HD and stereo sound. Your friends and family will love watching two separate shows at the same time both with complete full HD video and sound all on the same TV

UHD TV

Our market has been filled to the brim with all types of televisions, ranging from small types to big ones. They also come in different shapes. But the one that stood from the rest was the curved TV. We have seen this concept being used in our daily life. Have you gone to watch a movie in a theater? There the screen is rather curved. The screens built in the theaters were curved due to the way the picture was projected onto the screen. The curved screen provides a wider field view of the objects than that seen on a flat screen. Hence, the viewers of the pictures can see more without moving their heads.
The curved screens of new generation televisions wrap the picture around you. As a result, they provide a uniquely immersive viewing experience. The electronic majors like Samsung and LG have released the curved screens at CES this year. They unveiled the prototypes of their curved televisions in the last year version of CES. Projecting a picture from a single source onto a wise screen can create a distortion in the image. However, if you keep the screen slightly curved, this distortion of the projected image could be to some extend avoided. This visual distortion is called pincushion effect. According to the manufacturers, the curved TVs provide a cinema-like watching experience by sitting at home. Traditionally, this kind of experience can be had only when you watch a program from a very large television. In such a set up, the screen would appear wrapping around you to give a cinema-like experience. With the curved TV, the cost of experiencing cinema-like feeling is less when compared to that for watching a large television. It is for the people to think what best suits for them.

Fitness Tracker
Posted on 10:53 AMby Pubudu Liyanage with No comments
Fitness trackers have come a long way. A few years ago it was hard find a device that could track your fitness beyond the simple clip-on pedometer and an atrocious wrist watch. Today, there are dozens of options that collect a broad swath of biometric data all in a tiny, wearable device no larger than a bracelet. And while 2013 didn’t favor fitness gadgets in a statistical sense, 2014 could be a different story thanks to a growing interest in wearable technology and the ever-persistent swath of smartwatch rumors. The industry is bustling, with giants like Sony, LG, and Nike taking the helm and lesser-known companies such as Fitbit closing the gap.
That said, there are dozens of fitness devices on the market. Most are conveniently designed to be worn directly around your wrist or neck, while others easily clip to your pocket or zipper. Though each device touts different capabilities and functionality, most chart everything from the amount of calories you burn on a run to the number of times you wake up while sleeping, while curating data on your heart rate, elevation gain, and travel distance among other statistics. The bulk of fitness devices even connect your smartphone via built-in Bluetooth, automatically syncing health data with accompanying apps and showcasing your progress through wealth of analytical trends and charts.
Here are our top picks for the best fitness gadgets, so you can keep track of all those calories you burn — or don’t — on your daily commute around town or jog through the park. Additionally, check out our handpicked selection of the best fitness apps for Android and the best fitness apps for the iPhone, or our choices for the best headphones for running.
