New Webcam and 3D technology: Play Cards In 3D Tech and Technology in Your Hand

How will it if you can play WWE cards and Baseball cards and other cards in 3D? yes, This is not dream. With the help of new technology and advance in 3D and may be 4D, It will be  possible soon.


Check out these new baseball cards from Topps that turn into pop-up animated 3D images when you hold them up to a webcam! What?! "Topps just released new baseball cards that, when placed in front of a webcam, create 3D characters of the players on the card," says CrunchGear. "It's not just animation, either. 

The cards, called Topps 3-D Live, are built with technology. This technology is created by augmented reality companyTotal Immersion.(Total Immersion, global leader in Augmented Reality Solutions, develops the most scalable and reliable Augmented Reality Platform) This is easy to play.

First Download  ActiveX control from the Toppstown.com. Install it.  Once it's installed, you simply click on the appropriate player, hold your card up to any Webcam, and the player will appear to pop up in 3-D on your monitor's image. What you see is the digital overlay on the video stream itself, in real-time.

The card becomes fully interactive, too:

•  Spin it around
•  the player spins
•  tilt it
• and the player in your monitor tilts.

 You can even use your keyboard to have him pitch, catch, or hit balls -- and it all happens instantaneously as you send the commands. Jason Smith, senior project manager with Total Immersion says that 

"You have to think of your Webcam as a mouse or any other input device"

As for Total Immersion, Davis says the company has a big year ahead, with more traditional consumer companies set to unveil new three-dimensional sides to their products this coming summer. The Topps 3-D Live cards feature 32 different Major League Baseball players and are available in all packs of Topps 2009 Baseball Series 1 cards, as well as within Topps' Attax baseball card game.

Do You Know How Touch Screen (Glass) Problems? : solve with "TeslaTouch."

Now you know why apple's  iPhone front screen is made of glass? there is because of user can see and interact with interface. But how will be if it's back side of iPhone would make with glass? 

Yes I also shocked when I know about this type of  user interface in back side. but that's is true. Apple is going to make it's iPhone backside with glass .

But now I am going to talk how this glass Touch Screen has one big problem solution? 

Glass touch screen is common to now days. every where you will see this type of touch screen. And I am sure that you have now touch screen in you hand. In rail-way station, bus stop, museum, you will find touch screen. And now Microsoft is going to make latest two interface touch screen. that means? that means if know that if you touch on your screen it understands only your first touch. but with second touch at same time that will be not considered by that glass. that type of gadget has already been launched by Microsoft. I will write about soon. But till than know about how touch screen problem now on your finger interface? 

the way a team of Disney Researchers sees it, there's one huge problem with this technology: All glass screens feel exactly the same.

Now see difference between hardware Keyboard and Touch Keyboard: see, if you press key on hardware keyboard, where you can feel whether your fingers are hitting the right keys. but when you use touch keyboard, where the letters "q" and "w" feel exactly the same -- as does the space between them 

That's the problem that Disney Research is hoping to solve with a new technology it's calling "TeslaTouch."

This type of touch screen was first time successfully demonstrated in  tech conference in New York this week, uses a small static force to control friction between a user's finger and the touch screen.

"It's kind of like a buzzing or a vibration. It has the same effect as a buzz," said Chris Harrison, one of the Disney researchers and a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. "But if you carefully tune the frequency and the vibration of the panel you can actually create things that feel like sandpaper or rubber or a wall." 

Now see what this company says about this new touch screen:





TelsaTouch infuses finger-driven interfaces with physical feedback. The technology is based on the electrovibration principle, which can programmatically vary the electrostatic friction between fingers and a touch panel. Importantly, there are no moving parts, unlike most tactile feedback technologies, which use vibration motors. This allows for different fingers to feel different sensations. When combined with an interactive graphical display, TeslaTouch enables the design of a wide variety of interfaces that allow the user to feel virtual elements through touch. For example, when dragging a file, the level of friction could convey the file size. Objects could "snap" into place when designing a presentation. Or perhaps with a quick "rub" of your email application's icon, you could sense how many emails are unread. Finally, imagine a (flat) touch keyboard where the virtual keys can be felt. The possibilities are endless.




Tactile feedback based on electrovibration has several compelling properties. It is fast, low-powered, dynamic, and can be used in a wide range of interaction scenarios and applications, including multitouch interfaces. Our system demonstrates an exceptionally broad bandwidth and uniformity of response across a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes. Furthermore, the technology is highly scalable and can be used efficiently on touch surfaces of any size, shape and configuration, including large interactive tables, hand-held mobile devices, as well as curved, flexible and irregular touch surfaces. Lastly, because our design does not have any moving parts, it can be easily added to existing devices with minimal physical modification.


TelsaTouch was developed at Disney Research, Pittsburgh. The industrial design of the TeslaTouch mobile prototype was produced by the CMU School of Design. Disney Research is a network of research laboratories at The Walt Disney Company. Key proficiencies are in Computer Graphics, Video Processing, Computer Vision, Robotics, Radio and Antennas, Wireless Communications, Human-Computer Interaction, and Behavioral Sciences, with developing competency in areas 
such as data mining and displays.

I would like to know the name of researchers of this type of screen: Olivier Bau Ivan Poupyrev Ali Israr Chris Harrison

new service by google: Gmail threading a choice

GOOGlE! what do you think about Google ? this is the most profitable website and business in WEB area. Now I will not talk about it’s growing topic. 

Which E-mail account is using you? If you are not using Gmail (Google) than you are doing big mistake. Yes, that's right. Now a days most problem on E-mail account is 

To managing e-mail. Google is launching new service for Gmail. Google is addressing one of the biggest complaints new Gmail users have about the service: it's giving users a way to turn off threaded messages.

So, google is planning to letting start users toogle between Gmail's threaded "conversation" view which groups messages with the same subject in the in-box and an old-school in box style in which incoming e-mails are displayed in the order they were received.

And yes this service is for regular free users and also for  corporate google application users.

GOoGle has created G-mail as just for E-mail Account but as new technology and new science of WWW and WEB in computer science it  has changed some options and service provided in G-mail account.

Google has already given one option in gmail said “classic” option for unthreaded messages.

Now you will ask this type of questions: 

                                         How to turn off gmail threading?

is there a way to unthread a "conversation"? check out this "conversation" submitted by google users in forum click here for How to turn off gmail threading? click here for Is there a way to unthread a "conversation"?

Pranav Mistry’s Sixth Sense Technology.

Sixth sense! you know all about sixth sense very well. Till now you were completely aware of five sense. but now a days as technology is growing up very fast, there is more space at the bottom. New technology is now sixth sense?

 I will say in answer about this is latest new tech for your future is sixth sense. now you are reading this article on your pc or laptop or on your mobile, but after some days, you will read in on any surface. YES, sixth sense means that you can do anything without pc, means you can make any surface ad monitor, keyboard, or mouse. your palm will be used as your photo frame, your table surface can be used as keyboard. with sixth sense you can see video in your news paper! ! !

 Now, we use the projector to project the visual information by using some surface like white curtain or may be walls and the moving objects around us can be used as interfaces. In the meantime, the camera recognizes and feeds the user’s hand gestures and physical objects on the screen using computer-vision based techniques, somewhat like a touchscreen 

So strange ? don't be that. this is all right. And credit goes to Mr. Pranav Mistry . Pranav Mistry has redefined the meaning of this word using visual tracking fiducials, which is going to change the whole dynamics of how the digital world and the real world operate. He is a MIT’s Media Lab PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group. The technology says, that we can bridge the gap between the real and virtual world.

And the news is the model based on above theory will be in market soon. I think it's price will be around $350. Ya, that's right! you think it's costly ! but it's beginning. 

Know pranav mistry seeing this video. And wait pranav mistry is basically  from india (gujarat).

Molecular "robot" built from DNA

Scientists from Columbia University, Arizona State University, the University of Michigan, and Caltech have programmed an autonomous molecular "robot" made out of DNA to start, move, turn, and stop while following a DNA track.

"The development could ultimately lead to molecular systems that might one day be used for medical therapeutic devices and molecular-scale reconfigurable robots—robots made of many simple units that can reposition or even rebuild themselves to accomplish different tasks. A paper describing the work in Naturesuggests the research could lead to molecular-scale reconfigurable robots made of many simple units that can rebuild themselves to accomplish different tasks."

Caltech's Erik Winfree explained that shrinking robots down to the molecular scale would provide, for molecular processes, the same kinds of benefits that classical robotics and automation provide at the macroscopic scale. Molecular robots, in theory, could be programmed to sense their environment (say, the presence of disease markers on a cell), make a decision (that the cell is cancerous and needs to be neutralized), and act on that decision (deliver a cargo of cancer-killing drugs).

But with that promise comes a practical problem: how do you program a molecule to perform complex behaviors? In normal robotics, the robot itself contains the knowledge about the commands. But with individual molecules, information storage in the "robot" is impossible. Columbia's Milan Stojanovic says the solution is to imbue the molecule's environment with informational cues.

"We were able to create such a programmed or 'prescribed' environment using DNA origami," explains Hao Yan, from Arizona State. DNA origami is a type of self-assembled structure made from DNA that can be programmed to form nearly limitless shapes and patterns. Exploiting the sequence-recognition properties of DNA base pairing, DNA origami are created from a long single strand of DNA and a mixture of different short synthetic DNA strands that bind to and "staple" the long DNA into the desired shape. The origami used in this case was a rectangle that was 2 nanometers thick and roughly 100 nanometers on each side.

The researchers then constructed a trail of molecular "bread crumbs" on the DNA origami track by stringing additional single-stranded DNA molecules, or oligonucleotides, off the ends of the staples. These represent the cues that tell the molecular robots what to do - start, walk, turn left, turn right, or stop, for example - akin to the commands given to traditional robots.

To build the 4 nanometer diameter molecular robot, the researchers started with a common protein called streptavidin, which has four symmetrically placed binding pockets for a chemical moiety called biotin. Each robot leg is a short biotin-labeled strand of DNA. "It's a four-legged spider," quips Stojanovic. Three of the legs are made of enzymatic DNA, which is DNA that binds to and cuts a particular sequence of DNA. The spider also is outfitted with a "start strand" - the fourth leg - that tethers the spider to the start site (one particular oligonucleotide on the DNA origami track). "After the robot is released from its start site by a trigger strand, it follows the track by binding to and then cutting the DNA strands extending off of the staple strands on the molecular track," Stojanovic explained.

"Once it cleaves," adds Yan, "the product will dissociate, and the leg will start searching for the next substrate." In this way, the spider is guided down the path laid out by the researchers. Finally, explains Yan, "the robot stops when it encounters a patch of DNA that it can bind to but that it cannot cut," which acts as a sort of flypaper.

Although other DNA walkers have been developed before, they've never ventured farther than about three steps. "This one," says Yan, "can walk up to about 100 nanometers. That's roughly 50 steps."

Stojanovic is aware of the current system's limitations. "Interactions are restricted to the walker and the environment. Our next step is to add a second walker, so the walkers can communicate with each other directly and via the environment. The spiders will work together to accomplish a goal," he explained.

Such collaboration ultimately could be the basis for developing molecular-scale reconfigurable robots - complicated machines that are made of many simple units that can reorganize themselves into any shape - to accomplish different tasks, or fix themselves if they break. "The idea is to have molecular robots build a structure or repair damaged tissues," says Stojanovic. "You could imagine the spider carrying a drug and bonding to a two-dimensional surface like a cell membrane, finding the receptors and, depending on the local environment," adds Yan, "triggering the activation of this drug."
