Switcher, muévete de manera sencilla entre las aplicaciones en Android Switcher es una pequeña aplicación para Android que nos permite movernos entre las aplicaciones recientes de manera muy sencilla, simplemente mediante gestos desplazándo nuestro dedo de izquierda a derecha o viceversa. Una de las cuestiones las cuales más notamos las diferencias de trabajar en un ordenador y hacerlo en un tablet o smartphone es a la hora de movernos entre las aplicaciones abiertas, algo que si bien es relativamente ágil tanto en Android como en iOS está bastante por detrás de lo que podemos obtener al utilizar un teclado convencional. Por suerte hay aplicaciones que nos permite mejorar muchisimo todo esto,como es el caso de la que hoy queremos presentar, llamada Switcher. Como único pero para Switcher está el de no poder saber a ciencia cierta cuál es el consumo de batería que implica tener esta aplicación abierta todo el tiempo aunque supongo que es cuestión de probar y comparar.

Touchscreen Braille Writer Lets the Blind Type on a Tablet | Gadget Lab One group of people has traditionally been left out of our modern tablet revolution: the visually impaired. Our slick, button-less touchscreens are essentially useless to those who rely on touch to navigate around a computer interface, unless voice-control features are built in to the device and its OS. But a Stanford team of three has helped change that. Tasked to create a character-recognition program that would turn pages of Braille into readable text on an Android tablet, student Adam Duran, with the help of two mentor-professors, ended up creating something even more useful than his original assignment: a touchscreen-based Braille writer. Currently a senior at New Mexico State University, Duran arrived at Stanford in June to take part in a two-month program offered by the Army High-Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC). “How does a blind person orient a printed page so that the computer knows which side is up? “The solution is so simple, so beautiful.

Control a PC with body motions LAS VEGAS – Don't trash your keyboard and mouse just yet. But three companies at the International Consumer Electronics Show demonstrated depth-sensing cameras that let you to control your computer by moving your hands or body. Microsoft's Kinect add-on for the Xbox 360 console has already popularized these cameras for gaming. Now, the technology is being set loose for use on other devices. However, like many gadgets shown at the annual Las Vegas-based extravaganza of phones, PCs and TVs, the cameras aren't quite ready for the mass market. The companies showed off their cameras to give software developers and gadget makers a chance to work with the technology and incorporate it in their products. WHY IT'S HOT: The cameras represent another challenge to the keyboard-and-mouse regime, which is already being eroded by touch screens. BEHIND THE LENS: The cameras can tell how far away things are in their field of vision.

6 Realities of Teleportation Star Trek Didn't Warn Us About With most technologies, we can only guess what they will look like 1,000 years from now. We don't really even know what the "ultimate" video game or cellphone would even look like. We're waiting for the technology to show us. So how far away are we from that? #6. Of all the different types of teleportation that have been thought up in science fiction, they basically all involve disintegrating a human body, shooting it to another location as some kind of data signal and reintegrating it on the other side. So that would imply that The Fly was onto something when it warned against stepping into a teleporter while something else is in there with you. Life finds a way. But The Fly was playing it pretty conservative. Blauerauerhahn, Wikipedia CommonsThese little guys have some prime real estate on your eyebrows.

Identité(s) Numérique(s) Mobile(s) [EnsadLab] Try On Clothes Without Getting Undressed While perusing the newest releases at CES yesterday, I have to admit the main reason this software came to my attention was because of the name of the company that created it: “FaceCake.” Immediately, the image of a printer that created “face cakes” came to mind, but after I did some research, the real thing, Swivel, was almost as cool. Swivel (not to be confused with Swivl) uses the Microsoft Kinect to let users try on clothing without getting down to their skivvies. When the shopper selects an outfit, she can move around as she might when physically trying on clothes.
