Vuzix debuts augmented reality eyewear. Vuzix has debuted an $800 pair of video eyewear that offers users access to 67-inch displays of mixed and augmented reality. The Wrap 920AR features a stereo camera pair that captures 752 x 480 images at 60 fps and delivers a single 1504 x 480 side-by-side image which is viewed in 3D stereoscopic video. The device also includes a 6 Degree-of-Freedom Tracker, allowing for absolute accuracy of roll pitch and yaw, as well as X, Y and Z positioning in 3D space. “With the new Wrap 920AR, users can view the real-world environment and computer-generated imagery seamlessly mixed together; allowing video game characters to jump out of the TV and come to life in your living room, or magazines and books with animated links back to the web in real time,” explained Vuzix CEO Paul Travers. “This state-of-the-art video eyewear merges the real world with the digital in a pair of glasses makes for world changing experiences from industry to gaming.”
Additional Wrap 920AR specs include: Life in 2020: Frog Design's vision. Are we heading for a future where currency needs are determined by social ranking? Image Gallery (3 images) For most of us here in Gizland, technology and gadgetry have become central to our very existence. Given the huge advances seen in recent years, where will be ten years from now? Frog Design has been doing some serious pondering on this very subject and has recently presented a vision of what our increasingly computer-centric lives might be like in the year 2020. The folks at Frog Design should be already be familiar to regular readers of Gizmag. An inspired vision for an Intel point-of-sale kiosk was featured last year and before that Motorola benefited from numerous ideas for wearable electronics. They've now looked into a digitized crystal ball to offer a vision of life in 2020. A load of old Whuffie The digital revolution has had an immense impact on the way we socially interact.
Too much of a good thing "Like Google for our bodies" is the way Frog has described Bodynet. Frog design | Global Innovation. Personal air vehicle. A personal air vehicle or PAV, also personal aerial vehicle, is an emergent aviation market that would provide on-demand aviation services. This term was first used by NASA in 2003 when it established the Personal Air Vehicle Sector Project, as part of the Aeronautics Vehicle Systems Program. This project was part of NASA Vehicle Integration, Strategy, and Technology Assessment (VISTA) office, which also included sectors for Subsonic Transports, VTOL Aircraft, Supersonic Aircraft, and High Altitude Long Endurance Aircraft. The objective of each sector was to establish vehicle capability goals and the required technology investment strategies to achieve those breakthroughs.
Origination[edit] The first technical paper to explain the difference in vehicle characteristics between PAVs and existing General Aviation single engine piston aircraft was "Personal Air Vehicles: A Rural/Regional and Intra-Urban On-Demand Transportation System" by Mark D. A new mode of transportation[edit] Fusion power. The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the energy generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions, two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a comparatively large amount of energy arising from the binding energy due to the strong nuclear force which is manifested as an increase in temperature of the reactants. Fusion power is a primary area of research in plasma physics. Background[edit] Binding energy for different atoms.
Mechanism[edit] Fusion happens when two (or more) nuclei come close enough for the strong nuclear force to exceed the electrostatic force and pull them together. Theoretically, any atom could be fused, if enough pressure and temperature was applied.[2] Mankind has studied many high energy fusion reactions, using particles beams.[3] These are fired at a target.
