Samsung Flexible OLED display Hands-on

If there is one commonality that all high-end smartphones embody, it has to be none other than the fact that they're all simple pieces of slabs at their core -- and nothing more than that! However, every now and then, we are greeted with a kind of device that manages to stray from the tried and true design of today's contemporary smartphones. Even before the first official day of CES kicked off, we were able to check out Samsung's booth during Pepcom's event and witnessed something truly imaginary that makes you wonder about the endless possibilities that can grace future smartphone designs.

Head-mounted display projects directly onto the retina

Brother's AirScouter projects the equivalent of a 16-inch display directly onto your retina.



A company representative states, "This display creates a mysterious effect, making it look as if there's a 16-inch screen floating one meter in front of the eyes, and the scenery behind the screen seems transparent as well."
The company expects that the technology will be used in industrial settings at first, specifically for onsite technicians to reference product manuals. There's also head-mounted camera built into the frame of the glasses, which can be used by field workers to send real-time imagery back to headquarters.
"This makes it possible to work in collaboration, while receiving instructions from experts in the office," said the Brother representative.
On the consumer side, you'll apparently be able to connect a phone to the display one day in order to project your handset's screen out in front of you.

Draft Mouseless: mouse without a mouse

Mouseless - an invisible computer mouse


Mouseless is an invisible computer mouse. It provides the familiarity of interaction of a physical mouse without actually needing a real hardware mouse.

As the computer mouse has remained largely unchanged over the last decades, we have become increasingly proficient at operating the two-button mouse. Recently, various multitouch and gestural interaction technologies have been explored as means to implement alternative methods to interact with a computer. Despite these advances in computing hardware technologies, the two-button computer mouse has remained the predominant means to interact with a computer. The Mouseless invention removes the requirement of having a physical mouse altogether but still provides the intuitive interaction of a physical mouse that we are familiar with.

Mouseless consists of an Infrared (IR) laser beam and an Infrared camera. Both IR laser and IR camera are embedded in the computer. The laser beam module is modified with a line cap and placed such that it creates a plane of IR laser just above the surface the computer sits on. The user cups their hand, as if a physical mouse was present underneath, and the laser beam lights up the hand which is in contact with the surface. The IR camera detects those bright IR blobs using computer vision. The change in the position and arrangements of these blobs are interpreted as mouse cursor movement and mouse clicks. As the user moves their hand the cursor on screen moves accordingly. When the user taps their index finger, the size of the blob changes and the camera recognizes the intended mouse click.
