Long since am gone.

It’s been very long since I stopped writing on this blog. But I have missed it every now and then. I gave up writing only to become a Post Graduate, now I am an MBA specialized in Finance and Information & Technology. But overall, it’s been a good experience. Thanks to all those people who have always trusted me with whatever I have done.

New Technology sends Blu-ray Movies direct to your iPhone

The new technology, BD Touch by NetBlender is now going to show you Blu-ray movies direct on your iPhone ready to play using Wifi connection. This technology will let you use your iPhone as like another new fancy remote for your player. This application can gather the data from Blu-ray player, which can create an iTunes like catalog of movies into the iPhone. The new Technology, BD Touch, can offer you title recommendations, you can also use your iPhone as a game controller by turning existing Blu-ray discs into games, easily manage and update rental queue, it can display extra information about the movie in sync with the movies playback, etc. Overall, it seems to having limitless possibilities.

The video for demo showed on site is quite funny because they showed transfer, which took only seconds, most of us know how much time it takes converting a regular DVD for use on an iPhone, but still imagine if it is real then it is amazing.

Now I guess the next thing they must make a universal remote for full home automation, which can controlled by iPhone.

Here is the demo video:

Palette for Digital Artists

Here is a design concept of handheld PC, which the digital artists preferably like to wear for their new creative designs. This beautiful Palette Digital Artist is an entry for the Microsoft's NextGen PC Design Competition for the year 2008.

This Palette is a handheld touch-screen PC with a thumbhole for the easy handling, also having a Stylus, which enables you to work digitally but like the good old days. This stylish design will give you that painterly feeling that is sorely lacking with conventional computers.

Philips Pronto TSU 9600 with WiFi

The new Philips Pronto TSU 9600 is a universal remote, which can control almost anything from a central location like your home theater system, music libraries, cable TV; it can even do your lighting if you have an automation system installed. It works on WiFi technology and has a 3.7-inch touch-screen (640 x 480 pixels). It is said to be powerful enough to work through walls. Well that is good because you do not have to install separate WiFi routers to work with it. A few people are suspicious about it that it may have side effects living in such a close proximity from a device like this. All of its functions are easily configurable by a PC, which enhances rich user experience.

Pronto is a must own for anyone who ever considered (or actually purchased) theater-style seating for a home screening room, or for anyone who wants to get spoiled by sitting at a place and controlling everything.

Laser Harp in Robotics contest.

Today I just found out this interesting thing, it is a Frameless Laser Harp, sounds interesting right. Anyways hers is some information relating about it. This Laser Harp happens to be at second place in Trossen Robotics Community's contest in a hot field that included a Seeing Eye robot, which can help the visually impaired people and a self-balancing motor board, which is similar to the iSlide, the most popular among the readers in recent Gizmag article.

Grand prize for the contest taken by Phoenix, a robot having six legs. The most interesting thing about this robot is its way of motion, which is some of the most convincing and eerily lifelike that we have seen in a robot that uses standard hobby servos and a common off-the-shelf servo controller. The kinematics for the robot are computed by a programmed spreadsheet. Oh, many numbers in there, good for trigonometry fans.

Now the question is, How a Laser Harp got eligible for a robotic contest. Well it is, because the Laser Harp does not actually make the sounds, it triggers the notes, which are produced on a MIDI.
