MIT Student creates a simple Gesture Control System

Tony Stark in Iron Man2 using Hand Gestures

 

Do you remember Iron Man 2 in which Tony Stark uses Hand Gestures in air to create and design his robot suit. Though it has not become reality yet but many companies are researching on this great technology to bring out the best way to make it possible. Researchers are trying to use many sensors and other high tech devices to do this, but Robert Wang a student at MIT has showcased his very simple way to implement Gesture control system which only uses a pair gloves and a webcam which tracks the hands. This make the technology inexpensive and simple.

 

Robert Wang showing his 3D Gloves

 

The gloves are colorful and weird looking but there lies the concept because the color patterns are processed by the computer software and helps computer in recognizing the 3D shape of hand. When the gloves are worn then the person can move and change the objects on screen.

 

 

If research continues at same pace then get ready to see this technology being used in games and many other applications real soon in future.

Google Plus to rival the Social Networking leader Facebook

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

 

Everybody knows that when it comes to Internet then only one company seems to be dominating and that is Google. They have grabbed almost all the internet cyberspace with their vast range of products like Gmail for Emails, Google Docs for Documents, Picasa for photos, YouTube for Videos and many more.

 

But Social Networking is one that has questioned Google’s abilities to launch a successful project that could beat and stand against the undisputed leader of Social Networking today that is Facebook. Google launched Orkut but it didn’t became world’s favorite in front of Facebook and was only constrained to two large markets India and Brazil only. And now it seems Google has finally stepped in by launching Google Plus which is going to be a Social Networking platform to rival Facebook. But again the question remains same “Will it be successful?”.

 

 

Right now the project google plus is in final beta phase and will be soon available to all and you will be able to login using your Google Accounts.

 

Google Plus is going to have something called Friend Circles which will allow you manage your friends list better and it is also going to have chat plus video calls which is definitely going to make Facebook add the feature of Video calls.  Just have a look at this video and take a look on the Creativity of what Google has to offer:

Google may shut down in China !

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Recently Google made it clear that they may shut down their Chinese version soon. According to Google, the reasons behind it are Hacking attacks over Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists and the Google itself through some kind of malware. These activists are from US, Europe and China itself. It is also said that similar attacks were made on many other organizations in China. As a safety guideline Google asked its users to not click on suspicious links in their emails.

 

After considering the scope of attacks which are being made from last one year , Google came to the conclusion that the target of these attacks is to limit the free speech on web. The Search Engine Giant has decided to not to censor the results in coming days which means defying the Government of China. So this may ultimately lead to shutting down of operations of Google from China.

No More ! Google Adsense Video Units ….

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

 The much hyped Adsense Video Units which allow Video ads to run on your blog had been shut down in April after a bad response from the audience.

 

I think people didn’t find them useful because they needed to be played manually. And moreover they were boring as one has to watch them like those we watch on TV! Who likes them?? arrgggghhh!!! . I feel that’s a good decision of Google as they say they want to focus on other things ..

 

So if you are still running them on your blogs then remove them now as they will not turn the precious clicks into money !.

 

You can read more about it at Google Adsense Blog …….
