glasses

 

You've heard that Google is working on computerized glasses. They're called Google Glass, and developers can already buy them. Last week, we saw that Microsoft is also working on something similar too.

The most recent word out of Google is that Google Glass isn't going to use "augmented reality" where data and illustrations overlay the actual world around you. Google Glass is actually just a tiny screen you have to look up and to the left to see. Apple has been also granted a patent to make a product similar to the Google Smart glasses too.

Computers have been getting smaller and closer to our faces since their very beginning. First they were in big rooms, then they sat on desktops, then they sat on our laps, and now they're in our palms. Next they'll be on our faces. Is this the End of the Smartphone Era ?

 


BETA test Smartphone


Scientists from the University of Texas are on the verge of developing a mobile technology capable to see through walls and other solid objects. The technology combines the capturing of an unused "TERAHERTZ" range in the electromagnetic spectrum with a a new microchip capable of reproducing the data.

Thanks to the direct tapping in the terahertz range the future sensors will be much more simple than similar technology used nowadays, as it won't need the use of several lenses inside a device.


TERAHERTZ Rays


The new chip is based on the popular CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) technology, but when combined with terahertz waves it becomes possible for the sensor to capture images behind solid objects like walls and bodies.


The technology is very powerful as it offers limitless uses in construction, medicine, archaeology, document and money authentication and many more fields. The simplicity of the technology also makes it usable in mobile devices, which adds an interesting privacy concern to the matter.

A lot of people have done the same, which is why the video is now the most watched video in the history of YouTube.

The video, which at last count had 805,055,375 views since it was uploaded on July 15, 2012, just went past the previous record holder, which was Canadian singer Justin Bieber's for his crap song "Baby" that at last count had 803,732,561 views but was uploaded over two years ago, on February 19, 2010.


Gangnam style achieved its score in less than 4 Months only, while Bieber took 2 and half years to get.
