- 2. Where is the future of computers going to take us?Hands freeMore secureEasier to use
- 3. Areas of EmphasisHolographic Technologiesi.Tech Virtual KeyboardE-BallHolographic Storage DataBlu-RayBiometricsFingerprintsIrises Surface TechnologiesMulti-TouchMicrosoft Surface
- 4. i.Tech Virtual KeyboardWorks with PDAs, Smartphones, PCs & laptopsBluetooth-enabledProjects holographic keyboard on flat surface
- 5. i.Tech Virtual Keyboard cont.Dimensions are 9 cm x 3.5 cm x 2.5 cmUltra-portable with 120 min. continuous typing timeHas added sound effects to make holographic keyboard feel as real as possible
- 6. E-BallCreated by ApostolTnokopvskiSmallest PC ever made160 mm round sphere
- 7. E-Ball cont.Components:i.Tech Virtual KeyboardDual Core Processor2 GB ram250- 500 GB hardriveIntegrated graphics and sound cardHD- DVD recorder2 x 50 watt speakersWireless optical mouseLAN & WAN cardModemWeb cam LCD projectorPaper HolderMicrosoft Windows

- 9. Holographic Storage Dataa technique that takes crystals or photopolymers and stores information inside them at a high densityIncluded in most electronic devicesSpatial Light Modulators can produce about 1000 different images a second at 1024 x 1024-bit resolution = 1 gigabit per second write speed
- 10. Holographic Storage Data: Blu-Ray25 GB on single-layer disc50 GB on dual-layer disc Uses blue-violet lasers to read and write data which has a shorter wavelength allowing more data to be pack more tightly in less spaceSupported by 200 of the world’s leading consumers in PCs, recording media, video games and music
- 11. Biometricsstudy of unchanging measurable biological characteristics that are unique to each individualUses: verify a person’s identityallow or limit access to things such as computer documentsaccess to certain areas of a building, and border crossingsTwo types:FingerprintsIrises
- 12. Biometrics: FingerprintsUsed to identify personNo two people have same fingerprintsUsed mainly in allowing or limiting accessContain ridges and valleys & a livescan device or reader reads or photographs the difference between the twoBy rolling or touching the finger onto a sensing area the fingerprint is captured with sensorstechnique in the works that allows fingerprints to be retrieved without leaving material that could be used in DNA analysis called SKP fingerprinting
- 13. Biometrics: Irisescolored ring around the pupil of the no two irises are alikeamount of light that enters the eye is regulated by this musclesoftware takes a picture of the iris and recreates picture into an encrypted digital imageNo contact or lighting Not effected by glasses or contacts can work from a couple cm to a few meters away
- 14. Surface Technologies Multi-touchGives computer users & mobile devices the ability to interact and control a graphical user interface with one finger on either the application level or the system levelContains touch screen & software that recognizes multiple simultaneous touch points
- 15. Surface Technologies cont.Microsoft SurfaceMulti-touchLarge, horizontal, 30 in. display monitorno keyboard or mouse; just grab and move interaction with digital content by responding to hand gestures and real-world objects; object recognitionMulti-user experience; more than one person at a time can useMove info. Between devicesCan use more than one thing on screen at a time
- 16. ConclusionFuture of computers is steadily growing fastThe size how, we use them, and there ease of use is changingSecurity is a lot better Video quality is betterStorage is at a higher capacity
