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 Nexus One a short review

Monday, January 11, 2010

Finally the rumors were over, on January 5 2010 Google released their first phone called Nexus One and stepped into the market of mobile phones.

Though the phone is not completely built by Google, we can say Google has assembled the phone with some parts from its own hood. And it is not surprising that the OS running inside it is Android which is also under Google. In my opinion this phone is the true competitor of Apple’s Iphone. This is my first time that I have compared any gadgets, so check them out.

 

Google Nexus one v/s Apple Iphone

 

I was just comparing these phones and I found that Google Nexus One is really giving a tough competition to Apple Iphone.

 

 

	GOOGLE NEXUS ONE	APPLE IPHONE 3GS
Size and Weight
Height	119mm	115.5 mm
Width	59.8mm	62.1 mm
Depth	11.5mm	12.3 mm
Weight	130 grams	135 grams
Wireless
Bluetooth 2,1 (EDR & A2DP)	Yes	Yes
Wifi	Yes	Yes
3G	Yes	Yes
Edge	Yes	Yes
Screen Display
Size	3.7 in	3.5 in
Screen Resolution	800x600	480x320
Accelerometer	Yes	Yes
Multi Touch	No	Yes
Processor	1Ghz	800Mhz
Memory	512MB	256MB
Storage	4GB included expandable to 32GB	16GB or 32GB
Camera	5.0 MP	3.0 MP
Video Recording	20 fps or more depending upon light	30 fps
Flash	Yes	No
PRICE	$529.00	$499 (8GB) & $549 (16GB) (under no commitment Pricing from AT&T)

 

From the above comparison its very clear that Google Nexus One is really a good alternate to iPhone, but can it beat the sales of Apple Iphone, time will tell..
