The holographic era is in sight

Pretty soon Microsoft will launch Hololens that will change the world about how we use computers in the future or it also can be said an era where we will be increasingly rarely use computer monitors. Hololens is an eyewear that combines the real world with the virtual world or called the augmented reality technology.

Through Hololens later many things that can be done without having to use a computer (monitor and keyboard). Name it whatever, we can design something without touching the monitor and keyboard, just use Hololens and our hands.

The greatness of a merger between the real and virtual world allows us to incorporate the design into a real object, for example when someone is designing a motorcycle, the design can be applied directly to the real object (the motorcycle frame).

Of course there are many more things you can do and if you want to know roughly what the hell to do, can see the video below.

And this Microsoft Hololens will work with Windows OS 10 platform, which will be launched in the near future. Well, everything may become easier with this technology. We'll wait for the debut later. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MICROSOFT  | BAGOGAMES]

What if we have a modular phone?

Maybe you are still confused about what benefits mobile modules that are currently still being developed by Google with the name Project Ara?

No need to be confused, just watch the video below will be much easier to understand the advantages of mobile phone module system.

Google hopes Project Ara will change the way you see smartphones. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1ynjpyN)

Later, as users not only allows us to change the part of the phone such as the processor, camera or screen to the newer technology but the phone module allows us to add some other things such larger speakers, compass and more.

Not just replace it, the phone module also makes us more efficient where if there is a part that is damaged, we simply replace the damaged module just, so do not need to buy a new phone. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PROJECT ARA | GREENBOT]

Sony releases the camera phone sensor with resolution 21MP

Sony has just announced the arrival of a new camera sensors for smartphones with the resolution of 21 megapixels. This sensor will begin to be sent to the buyer in April 2015 and named Exmor RS IMX230.

The Exmor RS IMX230 using CMOS imaging sensor design which allows more faster autofocus and create better image quality. Not only that, Sony also provided it with 4K video recording capabilities.

Like its predecessor, this new sensor also adopted the stacked design. According to Sony, this kind of design can make a smaller size of CMOS sensor, but can give higher image quality and better functionality.

Sony explained that the Exmor RS IMX230 uses a chip that consists of a series of signal processing, instead of using a back-illuminated image sensor SMOS as commonly used in another camera sensor.

The image comparison above to see how the new CMOS sensor (right) stacks up against its predecessor (left) with the new capabilities. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/13j7ch3)

The Exmor RS IMX230 supported up to 192 autofocus points that are capable of producing better focus detection although fast moving objects. The autofocus capability equivalent to the ability of the DSLR autofocus (see the example image above).

At the moment shipped later, Sony will give the price for their new sensor at 18 dollars or around Rp.220 thousand. And does not rule out the possibility of this sensor will first be pinned on Xperia Z4, the latest generation of Sony's flagship smartphone which reportedly will release early next year. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SONY | IMORE]

Drawing with 3D Pen to make the real object

Three-dimensional (3D) printer technology has been growing and more and more developed by various parties. The most recent innovation is a modification of a 3D printer into a 3D pen that could write in the air.

The Lix Pen is a 3-D-printing pen that lets you draw objects out of thin air. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1kv4ZRJ)

A team of London-based designers claim to have created the world's smallest 3D-printing pen – an anodised aluminium device called Lix that allows users to "doodle in the air" and called the 3Doodler. Someone could write a sentence or draw something in the air, then that is written or drawn into the real. Suppose want to draw a cube, draw a cube shape in the air, then it will be a real cube in three dimensions.

Lix asked for donations to the fund company for the innovative work, Kickstarter, and get the funds to create this 3D pen. Basically the pen that can draw a three-dimensional object has the same principle with a 3D printer. As reported by the Daily Mail on Friday, May 2, 2014.

The basic ingredients of the ink pens are objects of junk with a plastic base material that is included on the back end of the pen. While in the pen, a plastic that is inserted will be burned at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius can be a viscous ink that dries quickly in the air. This pen has a 16.3 cm long, 1.4 cm in diameter, and weighs 34.9 grams. Made of aluminum and has a black and silver color variants.

3D pen can also be connected to USB on a computer. The 'object creator' pen will be sold with a price of U.S $140 (or approx Rp. 1.6 million) and go on sale next September 2014. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL | DE ZEEN MAGAZINE]

This tool is named Pocket Printer, because this printer can be put into your pocket. This portable printer is shaped like a circle that is coupled with a triangle. Only have 10 cm high, 11.5 cm diameter, and weighs only 300 grams.

How to work in the Pocket Printer prints a document is very simple. Simply put this portable printer on paper desired, by itself Pocket Printer prints text line will run as shown in the computer or mobile phone. In a full-page print, the Pocket Printer takes a minute.

Ink that can be used only black ink. This printer is connected to the computer using a mobile device or wireless connectivity. Printer-made Zuta inovatis Labs can be operated with the Android operating system, iOS, Linux, OS X, and Windows. But the resilience of the battery power can only be used for one hour.

Printers that can run itself is not mass-produced and not sold freely. The company is currently negotiating with Kickstarter to ask for donations of funds for mass production printers. The plan, this printer will be released in January 2015. Similarly, as quoted from Daily Mail on Sunday, April 13, 2014. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZUTA LABS | DAILY MAIL]

One thing to remember, this is a concept design or a mere figment of Beckett. iPhone 6 will most likely have a different form of the invention.

The latest generation of iPhone is rumored to be present in the two display options, namely 4.7 and 5.5 inches. One version of the iPhone 6 will have a screen density of 441 pixels per inch, the same as the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Both versions will reportedly have a glass that is made of sapphire. Just for the record, to date, Apple has used the material to the camera sensor and a fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S. And finally both versions of the iPhone 6 is said to be introduced formally in September 2014.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MASHABLE]
