Display for creating 3D holograms in the air

04.05.2014

The Apple patent published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office will be able, if implemented, to demonstrate to the owner of a device with this technology the most realistic visualization of a three-dimensional virtual world, and will also allow you to interact with it using various gestures.

The development, called "Interactive 3D Display System", will provide an opportunity, as noted above, not only to visually perceive a XNUMXD image, but also to touch it. According to the technical documentation, this patent describes nothing more than a holographic projection.

A registered "air display" optical system will need parabolic mirrors or lenses, which are key parts for projecting an image. Also, an infrared laser system with built-in sensors will take responsibility for creating the hologram, which will be able to recognize and store some of your gestures in memory in order to be guided by these commands to update images in the future.

Such an interaction between the projected image and the person implements the tactile control mechanism and opens a new stage of interactivity, allowing the viewer to rotate, scale and control the 3D objects created by the laser system. Thanks to the innovative "display", you can see the received images floating right in the air without the need for special glasses.

Apple is not the first company in the world to think about the implementation of such 3D holograms. In 2011, a Microsoft Research project called Vermeer made it possible to recreate an optical illusion that was presented to the viewer as a spatial model. The concept was brought to life with the help of parabolic mirrors and projector light, so the demonstration objects also had interactivity, reacting to certain movements.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Konica Minolta bizhub C3, C458 and C558 A658 color MFPs 21.09.2016

Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH (Konica Minolta) announced the launch of A3 color multifunction printers (MFPs) bizhub C458, C558 and C658. The new high-speed bizhub units are the successors to the bizhub C454e and bizhub C554e, and feature improved performance.

The bizhub C458/C558/C658 series features a larger 10,1-inch touch panel and a more powerful processor. New devices have high speed color and monochrome printing: bizhub C658 prints 65 pages per minute, C558 - 55 pages per minute, C458 - 45 pages per minute. MFPs support printing on paper weights from 51 to 300 grams per square meter. m length up to 1,2 m, as well as formats from A6 to SRA3. The devices are equipped with 4 GB of RAM.

A single-pass automatic document feeder with a capacity of up to 300 sheets makes it easy to scan large volumes of documents, additional ultrasonic dual feed sensors ensure that every page of the original is scanned or copied. The MFP can be equipped with finishing devices that perform stapling, saddle stitching, envelope folding, Z-folding, and more.

The bizhub C458, bizhub C558 and bizhub C658 from Konica Minolta provide stable, uninterrupted performance. The new devices will perfectly fit into the IT infrastructure of organizations with intensive workflow and increased requirements for print quality.

Like other models in the bizhub family, the bizhub C458/C558/C658 series MFPs support advanced mobile and cloud printing features, allowing employees to take full advantage of digital workflow even when working from mobile devices.
