Apple's iHoloPhone
iHolophoneHolophone is a new amazing music instrument for effortless live performing over fully programmable sequencer beats.Truly futuristic and soulful, iHolophone addresses the two most important aspects of the music - the melody and the rhythm, and is packed with 250 mb of impressive sounds.
What is wrong with the iPhone's ear phone... why don't they have a volume control on it...
Well, as you'll see 5 years from now they still haven't fixed it!!
Although they have added a nice holographic screen... when it works...
sixth sense technology
The 6th sense refers to the connection with something greater than what our physical senses are able to perceive. Until few years ago, it was considered as something supernatural, i.e. beyond the domain of science or human understanding, a concept which could only be featured in sci-fci movies.But thanks to “6th sense WUW” (Wear UR World)- a wearable gadget devised by Pranav Mistry, a P.hD. Scholar at MIT, 6th sense has become a reality.
The 6th sense WUW consists of :
The projector is used to display the information about the object on any surface, the camera perceives the objects using computer vision based techniques. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the cellphone which acts like a computer and a hub for the information from the World Wide Web.
The true power of 6th sense lies in connecting the real life circumstances almost immediately to
the internet which gives all the relevant information to the user and allows him to make smarter choices. It has an enormous field of applications, right from choosing a brand for your shoes to giving your flight details, 6th sense may assist u in almost everything.
The WUW device is still it its developmental phase, once marketed it is expected to cost about 350$ i.e. almost same as today’s cellphone device. Also its software is already available as open source so one can actually build their own 6th sense device!
The 6th sense technology has the power to connect the real world to the virtual world in a
seamless manner. Once fully developed it has the potential to equip an individual with the ultimate source of information about the world around him

RE: Sixth Sense Technology
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a working prototype of a multifunctional device that can become part of our lives in five years to ten. Set named sixth sense consists of a camera (it captures the movement of hands), the projector (it produces the image on any surface), the mobile phone (it is in your pocket and need only to communicate with the abstract database server) and four fingers on which to detect movements, wearing colorful caps, perceived by the camera
Sixth Sense Technology is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphoneĆ¢€which acts as the computer and connected to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures. The camera recognizes objects around a person instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or hand. Also can access or manipulate the information using fingers. make a call by Extend hand on front of the projector and numbers will appear for to click. know the time by Draw a circle on wrist and a watch will appear. take a photo by Just make a square with fingers, highlighting what want to frame, and the system will make the photoĆ¢€which can later organize with the others using own hands over the air.and The device has a huge number of applications , it is portable and easily to carry as can wear it in neck. The drawing application lets user draw on any surface by observing the movement of index finger. Mapping can also be done anywhere with the features of zooming in or zooming out. The camera also helps user to take pictures of the scene is viewing and later can arrange them on any surface. Some of the more practical uses are reading a newspaper. reading a newspaper and viewing videos instead of the photos in the paper. Or live sports updates while reading the newspaper. The device can also tell arrival, departure or delay time of air plane on tickets. For book lovers it is nothing less than a blessing. Open any book and find the Amazon ratings of the book. To add to it, pick any page and the device gives additional information on the text, comments and lot more add on feature
sixth sense technology
'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer. The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique fiducials, thus SixthSense also supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction. The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by Multi-Touch based systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger. SixthSense also recognizes user’s freehand gestures (postures). For example, the SixthSense system implements a gestural camera that takes photos of the scene the user is looking at by detecting the ‘framing’ gesture. The user can stop by any surface or wall and flick through the photos he/she has taken. SixthSense also lets the user draw icons or symbols in the air using the movement of the index finger and recognizes those symbols as interaction instructions. For example, drawing a magnifying glass symbol takes the user to the map application or drawing an ‘@’ symbol lets the user check his mail. The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch. The current prototype system costs approximate $350 to build. Instructions on how to make your own prototype device can be found here (coming soon).
