Full immersion in virtual reality

25.12.2011

The Sony HMZ-T1 is a special helmet worn on the viewer's head, with built-in stereo speakers and two 0,7-inch screens (for the right and left eyes). The resolution of each of them is 1280x720 pixels.

When operating, the Sony HMZ-T1 creates the illusion of watching video on a 19-meter screen surrounded by surround sound. On the body of the device there are buttons for controlling video playback and sound, and the helmet itself is connected to a special set-top box that transmits audio and video signals via HDMI from a TV, Blu-ray player or computer.

Anthony Koustelos, director of Sony's AV business, says: "The HMZT1 is a truly new approach to watching movies and video games in 3D. With clear sound and crisp images, a 3D personal display is like a movie theatre."

Sony HMZ-T1 sales will start in December 2011, its recommended price is 1100USD.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

A unique atlas of the human genome is being created 27.04.2018

A group of scientists from Israel intend to create a one-of-a-kind atlas of the human genome using stem cells. Experts assure that the more complete the picture is, the greater the chances of successfully treating people from dangerous diseases.

The Human Genome Atlas, using modern gene editing technology and human embryonic stem cells, which explains the roles that genes play in health and disease, was created by scientists at the Hebrew University. Now, the new study provides a unique tool to map the function of all human genes using human embryonic stem cells.

The researchers analyzed virtually every gene in the human genome, creating over 180 different mutations. A new atlas of the human genome will help doctors quickly find genes that can trigger the development of cancer.
