All manufacturers are starting to unveil their plans for high-tech glasses after the presentation of the Google Glass Mountain View company. According to Olympus, which Canon is launched into the adventure with his glasses in augmented reality.
These glasses, more imposing than its competitors, are primarily intended for professional use. Using a 3D camera and a prism “free curve”, these glasses can show that virtual objects do not exist. In the following video, the demonstrators are using to simulate the creation of a vehicle. Glasses that could ultimately prove very useful to manufacturers to see their creations.
Vehicles with autonomous navigation promises to become a major trend in the market for personal vehicles. On technology machines with many automakers are working autopilot, research laboratories and even the company Google. However, they all recognize that this system will be efficient enough for at least 10-15 years, are estimated to Ford until the middle twenties, drivers will no longer drive a car and turn into a passenger behind the wheel.
But that does not mean that today’s motorists could not touch the bright future, some functions of machines with the autopilot available today. A striking evidence of a new system for Ford Traffic Jam Assist. As the name implies, is an intelligent assistant that automates the movement of the car in traffic. It’s things torment – driving at a snail’s speed, so even with stops every five to ten meters. Especially, that special driving skills, these conditions do not require.
Therefore, Ford Traffic Jam Assist with camera and radar assesses the situation in the immediate vicinity of the car and completely takes control of it, based on these data. The system monitors steering and speed, allowing the driver to sit back and take care of business. Installed on the car Traffic Jam Assist sensors have a wide field of action, it means that the machine will have time to slow down, if some reckless driver suddenly be reconstructed from the neighboring strip and stand in front of the car.

HTC withdraws from the Brazilian market, A spokesperson for the Taiwanese company HTC confirms date information disclosed by the Brazilian daily examination namely, the end of commercialization of terminals in Brazil.
A decision that comes as the Brazilian market is a key goal for the entire industry: with 8.9 million smartphones sold in 2011, Brazil continued to rise and analysts estimate that by 2016 the country could be expected to become the fourth world market, ahead of the United Kingdom.
The HTC One will not be launched in the country and several hundred jobs will be eliminated in the Brazilian territory. The company will retain an entity in place to ensure the terminal support already on the market.
Therefore justified decision for the brand whose market share has never really stick out on the land: 0.11%.

Designed not to ride alone but to support the momentum of the rider, i Pedelec is a small electric bike to accompany its pilot effort in drawing its energy from a pair of lithium-manganese (LiMn) on a distance of 25 to 40 km at a speed of 25 km / h.
Ideal for commuting in urban areas, this concept would include folding bike (if available) a considerable price since it is equipped with disc brakes, a three-speed hub, a frame aluminum / carbon with a total weight exceeding still 20 kg.
Braking and downhill the engine would be configured to act as a generator to provide energy to recharge the batteries while it is obviously possible to connect them directly to a power outlet.
What are your plans for the weekend? Personally, I propose a session Jetovator, a machine with hydraulic drive midway between the jet-skiing and jet pack designed for aerobatics in the aquatic environment as was already the Flyboard (a jetpack as Iron Man) or JETLEV yet.
Installed on this vehicle like a motorcycle, you’ll be able to dive up to three meters deep, but also to take off up to nine meters above the water surface at speeds approaching 40 km / h. As always the machine in question is connected (via a pipe 4 inches in diameter) on a jet ski.
You may have seen the film Time Out, with the handsome Justin Timberlake, in which the expression “time is money” makes sense, since humans get life time with the money. In this film, the remaining time to live is displayed on the forearm of a person, an idea that inspired a designer, Nurdinov, to realize a concept shows like that. In his idea, it is not displaying your life time remaining on your arms, but rather the time it is.
This concept is quite nice, especially adapted for film. This bracelet watch will project the time on your arm with a small built-in laser. Unfortunately, this is only a draft and it is not yet for sale, you will perhaps allow the designer to develop and market.
Spider N3 ARAK an impressive little Lego mecha, It’s Friday, do we allow a few fantasies. You probably remember the Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell Lego presented by Thomas and directed by a named YouTubeur. Creating a very impressive you might say, but that will apparently not get it enough votes to pass on Lego Cusoo into production. It seems also, according to the author, the Danish company that has perhaps not particularly like the resemblance to the mechas from the anime by Masamune Shirow license required. Never mind, decided to return Majh to a model with its own identity ARAK called Spider Mech-N3 stock and always walking on four legs and this time featuring a true clamp enabling him to grasp various objects .
The verdict is, Assange, founder of Wikileaks, will be extradited to Sweden where he is accused of sexually assaulting two young women, aggression he has always denied. Five of the seven judges of the High Court of Justice UK have indeed given the green light for the extradition.
On probation and house arrest for two years, Assange had already appealed in February 2011 for the same judgment. This time, all cards are exhausted English to avoid extradition, and his only recourse is the European Court of Human Rights.
Assange was arrested in 2010 for sexual assaults, shortly after the release of thousands of confidential diplomatic cables from the white house. This very short period of time between the two cases is an argument for the proponents of conspiracy theories. If Assange is repatriated to Sweden, he might fear extradition to the United States where it may very big.
Nokia has filed several complaints for patent infringement against RIM, HTC and Viewsonic for not less than 45 of its patents.
Initially, the first Finnish filed a complaint with the U.S. ITC – International Trade Commission, against HTC. This was followed by a second complaint in Germany this time against Viewsonic, RIM and HTC, which again seems decidedly in the sights of Nokia.
ATRCW Paul embarked on the design of a craft beer Android printer (some of you have eyes that shine).
Taking the form of Bugdroid, it has a system Arduino and a tablet Xoom (running ICS) that allows you to select the beer and the quantity you want.
To interact with this charming shooter named Betsy, note that you must above all ensure you bring a NFC chip that will handle your credits. Demo video after the jump! And do not forget to thank Joefrais for the info.
Presented by Festo, the ExoHand is a prototype mechanical arm used to precisely manipulate different objects. Controlled by an exoskeleton to put on like a glove, all the wearer’s movements are repeated and amplified using robotic actuators by his counterpart in real time.
Microsoft has just released its figures for the third fiscal quarter. And the numbers are quite good. Redmond says in effect that its revenue is up 6% to 17.41 billion dollars and recording a profit of 5.11 billion. Well beyond the 17.18 billion expected by the market.
This is the pro division that allows such an increase. The business division sign up in revenues of 9% to $ 5.81 billion, and the Windows division represents $ 4.62 billion profit.
Still, the entertainment division is struggling in this fiscal year for Microsoft. Indeed, with the Xbox 360 sales rising to 1.4 million consoles sold against 2.7 million last year at this time (although the 360 is the console that sells the best), Microsoft posted a 16% drop in its entertainment sector. The fault also Windows phones that are struggling to impose.
A drop logic. The slowdown in the Xbox 360 is quite normal. The console nearing the end of life attracted more consumers now expect the next generation. Especially to two months of E3 where Redmond could introduce its new console (which would still be amazing). In addition, Windows phones are handicapped by the upcoming release of Windows 8, while Redmond is not clear on the fact of compatibility with Win 7 WP 8. Microsoft is therefore within the scope of consumer expectations about new products of the firm, and the results of next year with the same period could well be very different.
