The BlackBerry 9980 in Porsche Design Approach

The manufacturer RIM will forge a partnership with Porsche Design to offer a rather unique new model, the BlackBerry 9980 Porsche Design.
A few months ago, the first images of a BlackBerry with the look that contrasts with the habits of the manufacturer began circulating on the Web.
Many hoped that RIM was being seriously dust off the design of its ranges.
If you're one of them, we regret to inform you that if the model is glimpsed in fact real, it is perhaps not ready to reach into your pocket.
RIM and Porsche Design have indeed planned to hold a launch in Dubai on Thursday (October 27) to announce a new model of family Bold. Given the very industrial design, and strong majority of brushed metal, it is very likely that the smartphone that will be presented will be the famous BlackBerry Bold 9980, BlackBerry also known as Knight-Berry or Porsche.
If its appearance should make an impression one way or another, his heart should not, however, reserve surprise. Indeed, it is almost certain that it will be simply a revamped Bold 9900.

Apple iOS soon on TV

Apple TV, this is a sea serpent that comes up regularly in the news in recent years. But this time, these are the words of the late Steve Jobs coming revive the rumors .
We had talked a few days ago the official biographer of the former head of Apple and it contained revelations about how Steve Jobs saw Android, or on its initial opposition to the applications.
This time, we learn that the founder of Apple had every intention to attack the TV market.
The author of the biography, Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs reveals that "wanted to do for television what he had done for computers, music players and phones: make it simple and elegant."
He reports that Steve Jobs would have had the following comments: "I ​​would like to create a fully integrated TV and very easy to use. It would be wirelessly connected to all other devices and IOS icloud. Users will not have to mess with a multitude of remote controls and cables. This TV has the simplest interface possible. I finally found how to do it. "
Better than a rumor since then the words of the late guru of Apple bode no doubt that TV will soon be announced on the side of Cupertino. Just hope it is more ambitious than the Apple TV box.
The latter embeds iOS already, but it still will not apply and suffers from a number of technical limitations.

Lytro, the unit that makes the development after the photo

Shoot first, to the development later, and that on any part of the image, it is now possible a new device presented Thursday by a U.S. start-up. It should be released in late 2011.

The fans are already as one of "the most important innovations in photography since the 19th century." A small U.S. start-up has just introduced the Lytro, a device called "plenoptic" whose characteristic is to the development after taking the photo.
The unit uses an image processing software to reconstruct after the fact the sharpness on the part of the selected image.
Any manual focus then becomes useless.
Lytro records all the data and provides the focal point of each ray.
Then, it is able to simulate a shift forward or backward or to one development after a photo taken.
Result, it is possible to work on focus and depth of field on a picture not at the time of the shooting but after using a computer.


Photo in 3D?  

But that's not all this little gem also uses "Light Field", and can capture the entire spectrum of light from a scene on any of its points in space.
To do this, Lytro features, in addition to a conventional photo sensor, a multitude of microlenses that allow, according to its designers, to imagine the picture in three dimensions as take into account both the depth direction and angle.
The technology is based on the work of a researcher at Stanford, who published his thesis in 2006.
The startup has raised $ 50 million.
With 214 grams lighter and easy to use with only three buttons (one to turn it on, one to zoom in and the last to take the picture) and a touch screen for all settings, the device promises to make smart a carton. A gray and blue $ 399 with 8GB of capacity (or 350 photos in RAW format), and red for $ 499 16GB capacity (750 photos in RAW format, heavier than JPEG)

The New "Angry Birds"

Angry Birds the phenomenon is undeniable.

Finally, the proposed animated film is confirmed with David Maisel at the helm, already producer of Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America.

With (T) ether, MIT puts virtual reality in our tabs

Researchers at MIT have developed a system using tablets that allows multiple participants to interact simultaneously with virtual objects in 3D.

The tablet is then used as a window into the virtual world.
The system is however still quite heavy, because it requires a centralized server data and specific equipment: camera motion capture and matching tags.
Virtual reality seems a bit out of fashion. Too bad, it had to face in the 90's,  Today, it has a little augmented reality applications that overlap with some of the more or less relevant information on the screens of our smartphones.
Or games that show monsters on our tables ... blah. Finally, the interaction with virtual objects is limited, especially interactions with several participants.
Fortunately, we know fun at MIT. With T (ether) ("attached" in English), they did not hesitate not to use camera "motion capture" and gloves to look worthy of the ancient "Powerglove" iPad 2 to transform into windows on another world. I know it's cliché as hyper expression.
Yet that is exactly how it works.
A server is used to synchronize the state of a virtual world that the iPad display according to their positions and their orientations.
The special camera Vicon used for the "motion-capture" the movies, allows the acquisition of the position of the head and hands of each user and the iPad. Given the required materials, (T) ether is not immediately in your living room, but in the medium term, with future Xbox and a descendant of Kinect...
