Google Glass
Augmented reality in simulated experiments and education apps has already gone into our lives, but Google takes it several more steps forward with Google Glass. In theory you can view social media feeds, text and Google maps with Google Glass, as well as browsing with and taking pictures with GPS. While on the ground, you will also get the latest updates.
That is what we really call vision, and that is absolutely possible because Sergey Brin, co-founderof Google, demonstrated the lens with skyscrapers and creative people. At the moment the device is only available at $1500 for some developers, but expect other technology companies to try it out and create an affordable consumer version.
Oculus Rift
Virtual reality games in Oculus Rift form are here. This history- set 3D headset allows you to feel that you're in a video game. In the virtual world of Rift, with ultra- low latency, you could turn your head around and view the world in high resolution.
Prime products can do the same, but Rift wants you to enjoy the experience with only 300 dollars, and the package is even available as a development kit. This is the start of the next-generation gaming revolution. This timing is perfect, as the world is currently bombarded by Sword Art Online's theme of virtual reality, the anime-series with characters playing games in a virtual universe. It could take several more years to achieve this level of realism while we are there. Our first step is Oculus Rift .
Leap Motion
Multi-touch desktops are (miserably) failed because hands can get tired with longer use, but Leap Motion is again looking to challenge this dark area with a more advanced idea. You can use your finger to control the desktop but without touching the screen. This is not your typical motion sensor, because Leap Motion enables you to scroll a web page, to zoom in the map, sign documents and even play a shooter game with just the finger and the hand. The reliability of the reaction is the key here. More importantly, with just $70, a price of the PS3 premium game title you can have this future!
Eye Tribe
Over the years technology enthusiasts have been discussing the eye-tracking actively, but it is very difficult to implement. Eye Tribe did this, however. They have developed the technology to control your tablet, play flight simulator and even slice fruits only with eye movements in Fruit Ninja. It takes the common eye tracking technology and blends it into a front-facing camera plus an earnest computer vision algorithm, and voila, eye-cutting fruit! This year a live demonstration has been done in LeWeb and in 2013 we could actually watch this on mobile devices.
SmartThings
The current problem with most devices is that they function independently, and it takes effort for technological competitors to partner and develop genuinely connectable products. SmartThings is here to connect and benefit all your devices, digital or non-digital. Smoke alarms, moisture, pressure and vibration sensors are available with SmartThings to detect changes in your home and alert you via your smartphone. Imagine with this the possibilities.
You can check who is inside your house, turn the lights on, shut the windows and the door when you get out of the house with the help of just $ 500! Feel like this wonderful tech lord in your castle.
Firefox OS
iOS and Android are great, but each has its own rules and policies which definitely hamper developers ' creative efforts. Since then, Mozilla has decided to build a new mobile operating system that focuses on genuine openness, freedom and the choice of user. This is Firefox operating system. For the rest of us it means that it is built on the open source and carries web technologies like HTML5 and CSS3. Firefox OC is built on the Gonk, Gecko and Gaia software layers.
Without blocking the requirements of app stores, developers can create and initiate web apps; user can even tailor the operating system to suit their needs. The OS now debutes on Android-compatible phones and the feeling is great. So far. You can use the OS to perform key tasks on iOS and Android: calling friends, surfing the Web, photographing, gaming, everything on Firefox OS is possible and the smart phone market is booming.
Project Fiona
Meet the gaming tablet's first generation. Razer's Fiona Project is a serious hardcore gaming tablet. When it's out, it'll be the boundary for the future tablets, because tech companies might want to create their own game-oriented tablets, but for the time being Fiona is the only possible one to start in 2013.
This beast features Intel ® Core i7 processors next generation, designed to make all your favorite PC games at your fingertips. Crowned as the best manufacturer of gambling accessories, Razer clearly recognizes the ability to integrate user experience into the tablet, which involves a 3-axis gyro, magnetometer, accelerometer, and multi-touch user interface. I am ready for my body and soul.
The way computers are done, Parallella will change, and Adapteva is offering you the opportunity to join this revolution. Just put, for everyone, this is a supercomputer. In essence, an energy-efficient computer for simultaneous and efficient processing of complex software. Even more effective, Parallella will enhance real time object tracking, holographic heads-up display, and speech recognition.
So far, with an estimated delivery date of February 2013, the project has been financed with success. The price seems very promising for a mini supercomputer, because it's amazingly $99! For non-programmersand non-Linux users, it is not recommended, but the kit is loaded with development software to create your personal projects. I have never thought of the future of computing with only 99 dollars which can be started using crowdfunding platforms.
Google Driverless Car
The Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence which uses the input from the video cameras within the vehicle, a sensor at the top of the vehicle, and certain radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car while the data source is still a secret recipe. Sound like a lot to imitate the intelligence of human beings in a car, but up to now the system has managed 1609 kilometers without human instructions!
