This week in technology: Augmented Reality and 3D technologies

This week we decided to have on augmented reality technologies that seem to make much progress in recent years, both in terms of capacity, mobile development and integration into the current emphasis on appliances mobile.

As always, this list is not complete, if you feel that we are a little more please let us know in the comments missed. We try to technologies most relevant to the types of software and applications that we develop here in response to Amadeus Consulting, as there are technologies that we associate with, as soon as we can get our developers to hand.

is hoping to play

Every day, smart phones seem a little smarter, and it seems that every day we are a little more life into the world to go Star Trek tricorder with holodeck and closer than ever.

The most impressive is the performance of mobile applications.

We have some really cool Augmented Reality applications that are based in the location, the location in the images and information about what the camera saw on the lookout. Among these few test applications that use an IBM product called Presence. Presence

recognizes buyers (the use of voluntary service) when they enter a store. Traces can then follow the customer’s buying habits and how much time each customer spends in the different areas of memory. It then uses this information to evaluate the effectiveness of sales and offer in-store coupons or other incentives for a product.

Buy similar mobile concierge of Cisco Systems, can make product recommendations Presence. IBM Executive Craig W. Stevenson, the presence was monitored by the New York Times quoted him as saying: “[w] e also able to do predictive analysis to -. predict what we think you might, on the basis of what we want to know about you, “

This could include information that you provide, such as sizes of clothing or a taste for music, or things that are currently in your cart, like a cake, the icing and the purchase of eggs needed.

The presence can help you find the appropriate area of ​​the shop.

While this may seem a bit strange, some consumers of this information is already most stores that have been stored in any type of loyalty card system for use. The integration of these into a mobile application (with permission of course) can provide a benefit to consumers and retailers, such as information and recommendations become more accurate and meaningful.

As a market leader in mobile development and development of electronic commerce, Amadeus Consulting very familiar with augmented reality. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in developing an augmented reality application.

Almost everyone who has ever watched ABC television show “The Amazing Race” can tell you lost in a foreign country and not as able to speak the local language is a inevitable disaster.

Google has a complete translation system in real time that allows you to essentially have translates instantly calls, or use a mobile application, the translation work and talk to you. There have been many attempts to use it with varying degrees of success, and it will be interesting to see how Google compares the service eventually.

Amadeus Consulting currently uses this technology to communicate with a customer e-commerce development, so he tried and true.

year

This is a device that simply can not be ignored. It is the perfect blend of entertainment, travel, technology and innovation. NordicTrack treadmill provides the latest pseudo-travelers on real roads and trails, which are then imitated by the treadmill, the slope on the way to meeting the download site. Also, as you progress through the course, the screen displays pictures of monuments and landscapes.

For us, this seems like a very innovative blend of traditional technology with high-tech options, resulting in a gain for consumers.

3D and Multi-Touch

Microsoft ® Surface ™ ve mentioned before (and now we even have to play for the visitors to our Boulder, CO Office), which is essentially a multi-table touch, displays information, games, connect to the Internet recognizes the gestures and has a number of other things. In short, it’s pretty cool. Surface works by integrating a camera and projection technology system to the display surface, it acts as a table.

But now, Microsoft can change things on its head by reversing the concept. Instead, the function of the system under the table, it is in an aerial device that is more suitable for portable and can be installed on any surface. In addition, it is also much more scalable because it can probably work with small or large.

probably (or at least we hope) is an extension of Microsoft’s Natal very successful project, a visual object and gesture recognition program designed specifically for the Xbox ®. It was not just a lot of fun for gaming applications, but the retail and logistics planning could be highly improved by it, in the style of the film Minority Report.

No word yet on any release date yet, because it is a proof of concept, but if it ever comes to perfection, we are at the forefront, our current Surface-apps-port to the new technology.

Augmented Reality (for when you get your iPhone fixed)

If your iPhone is broken, then the prospect is Augmented Reality can be good enough to get your phone from a subject quickly because they are fixed to the end of the contract. Meanwhile, there may be something exciting about while your iPhone is broken and try it when it comes to think again.

For those who do not know what augmented reality is, in essence there is nothing that can be covered with digital information includes at real time, real-world input . For example, you could have a camera that you can point to any element in the real world and it would show on the screen of your iPhone. With an augmented reality application then you could it with additional information written on the screen to describe what you see see. This may seem something of a gadget, but when you think of all the possible applications of this then it becomes obvious why it is creating such excitement.

For example, augmented reality, you can take your cell phone if it is something you do not understand and get instant feedback on what it is. Saw a car you want? Well, then take your phone, point of the vehicle, and it will tell you the make, model, price and more – with perhaps a tracking link so you can buy your own. Already there are iPhone applications that keep your iPhone into a high street and then you know exactly what is left shops and restaurants. These include applications such as Layar and Wikitude. You may also catch on and be as critical to our navigation in the real world that Google in the internet for our navigation, and if you have an iPhone and are not defective repair of your iPhone, then you do not join in this paradigm shift. There are also other interesting uses for augmented reality now, like games, you hunt for objects that appear in the real world – the points on the digital maps of the real world when the phone point, regarding them as monsters then you shoot. The multiplayer options are amazing here. There is even an augmented reality application foundation, which sounds you hear in the real world and then filtered and can modify them to create music. You walk down the street and taps your feet to a basic rhythm, as you can wade in a puddle step better and seems to take the entire soundscape chimes and sounds dripping. This is called RjDj and it’s something you should definitely download when you get your iPhone repaired.

All this is possible only on mobile multi-functional and powerful than the iPhone, because the phone may be able to analyze the elements on the screen in real time and takes a lot memory and computing power required, and a good quality camera. To know where you are in the world, it needs GPS and know where you are, you need the camera.

Unveiled Live in Augmented Reality applications for Symbian

Simply because of good news for owners of Nokia, I came across a thought, as has been done as a mobile world. Well, I’m pretty excited, Augmented Reality on my experience Symbian. Yes, launched its version augmented reality Layar Symbian applications. I’m sure, like me, many of you have thought the charm belonging to the disappearance of Nokia phones. Listen to Android and iPhone, I almost lost faith in the development of Symbian applications. However Layar must prove the faith, there are still millions of Nokia phone owners is that umgebaut.Mit a lucrative market for developers to choose from tons of Layar OVI Store, you can certainly expect the same functionality of the iPhone and Android. All offers Symbian ^ 3 are supported (Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 and E7) and some S60 5th Edition devices (Nokia N97 and N97) is. Something of augmented reality that can be heard in early 2009, however, raises Asked why Layar thought begins its augmented reality browser to the OS based Nokia so late? He has been on Android and iOS long time now. Is it difficult to develop a Symbian version or is it something else? I think we will soon be extended herausfinden.Was reality? According to Wikipedia, our office know sensei, an Augmented Reality is a term for a live display, directly or indirectly by a physical real-world environment, the elements of the virtual computer-generated imagery that are new ergänzt.Menschen for the whole concept of Augmented Reality, here I provide an explanation of what it is. Augmented Reality allows users to store digital content to watch the real world. As its name suggests, individual developers to create “layers” for the application, each doing something different. For example, using the handset of your camera, GPS, accelerometer and digital compass, you can make the listener information about a local business, including Tweet local shopping information, travel information and many different layers as the weather is mehr.Es layer, which provides the weather in your city coat of office is more information on the desktop and tracks satellite SPOT in space. A simple example of a layer of augmented reality, point your camera to the GPS and a compass and you can have details of the location to bekommen. Merkmale Layar for Symbian mobile applications as follows: Facilitates discovery and places you can find details on locations from the list of layers that both free and paid werden.Wechseln you live or Augmented Reality mode einfach.Sich 3D objects, sound, video and interactivity with incredible Ebenen.Wegbeschreibung a variety layer near leicht.Wechsel between the types of old and the new look of the place where you Plätze.Teilen, take a picture and send it to you twitter.Entdecken restaurants, bars, shops and houses in the Nähe.Erfahren you history of a particular building, or an overview of Denkmal.Einen LayarLayar takes the simple things. You need a streaming from the phone’s camera inputs, and adds a layer hit or even for them, even knighted filter. With these filters, you can pizzerias, bars, pubs, art, interesting, or even houses in the neighborhood. With 400 films and I’m sure you have something useful for themselves their own finden.Layar local search engine is basic, but the filters are called significant. The layer has a search on Google Maps, and surrounds you with the results on a grid. He asks only two things you get what you need: the keyword and distance. Layar and Google will first show you the name and distance of the object. If you need more information, focus on just one piece of information and press OK. You get the phone number, address, and can even track your Route.Layar also proved effective when I travel, I now use these layers to the story of Italy and Egypt to learn, or just during the next half-station. Just point your device and follow the source virtual character!:

The robots of fiction and reality

The Thin Line of Technology and Reality

As all readers of science fiction know, there are many differences between what is reality and it is only in fiction. As science fiction is the branch of literature that absorbed most of which is directed in the future stories of science fiction as an intellectual in predicting the direction of our technology. However, much remains to be done. Provide numerous works of fiction that we are now traveling with flying cars and commercial access to space. In fact, research and development in these areas are far from realistic.

Among the many facets of science fiction, robots catch up with rapidly beating his fiction. For research by automated machines of war in the struggle for the nano-machines and diagnose human patients are used, there are many robots in our time.

While very few human-robot today meet the demanding appearance or behavior that we see in fact from fiction robots are nothing to be despised, for he is truly one to help to make impossible things happen.

< Application of robotic technology in today’s culture / p> The best advantage of a robot is more than the fact that he is a robot, but because it is not a man. Thus, consideration of health, safety, welfare and other important factors are thrown out the window. Although the damage to a robot would be financially losses, it would be the loss of life. For this reason, the robots can be more difficult and dangerous tasks that others would not be able to do. Precision robot and the lack of need for food or other make an ideal worker who is not tired, no matter how hard or a mind numbing task can.

are robots who are here today the most frequently observed in plants.

These robots tend to specialize in a certain part of the production. Welding to painting, raising and bruises, the robots are able to perform their duties with precision and speed that far into the conduct of human labor. There are also robots to treat other non-industrial applications. There are robots surveying, and the moon and Mars, which is able to access, rough terrain and it will analyze samples of dust and soil.

Pushing the limits of technology with military applications

But in this day and age, nothing grows an economy forward faster than a military target. Also in the field of robotics has been greatly by the great advantage that robots would be advanced by the military. Many of the drones and monitoring devices have been developed by robotics research.

The hybrid system Limb aid designed to help disabled people use the inactive members in military technology has been adapted so that the soldiers make full use of their physical strength by increasing the costume of their bodies. Of course, these are just simple modifications of existing robot technology in the products, not robots. The robots are intrinsically more valuable to the army. Able to identify the fully automatic machines, which find and remove a certain goal are the holy grail of military robotics.
