Aerogel: See-Through, Strong as Steel & Ligher than Air. Russian Company Displair Creates Interactive Cold Fog Computer Screens - Video Vault. It seems every other day a story breaks that claims to have the next Minority Report-like technology—but this one comes closer than any we've seen so far.
Russian company Displair projects images into a cold fog and then uses an infrared camera to capture user movements. As TechCrunch reports, Displair "has only 0.2 seconds lag time between gesture and computer reaction, compared to 0.1 second lag time of Kinect," making it a close competitor to the motion-sensing device for the Xbox 360 as far as accuracy, but going about it in a whole different way.
Educational, commercial, and entertainment applications abound, but Medical-Group, in Russia, has already expressed an interest in using the technology for psychotheraputic treatments. Researchers create car that can be steered by thought. The case for outlawing the practice of talking on cell phones while driving got a boost from the latest breakthrough from the innovation labs of Freie Universität Berlin.
German scientists working there have installed a car with new technology that can read the driver's brain waves, thus allowing the car to be steered entirely by thought, reports Science Daily. Needless to say, you probably don't want to be distracted while driving this vehicle. Mind blowing physics engine demonstration. The Current War.
