Future Market

This the virtual store in Korea. Out of box concept , very much promising. In fact already this concept of sharing the codes which mobile application identifies and redirects to online store has already been started in India as well in print as well as on Internet. Let the store come to people! Created virtual stores hoping to blend into people’s everyday lives. This first try was subway stations. Although virtual, the displays were exactly the same as actual stores – from the display to merchandise. Only one thing was different, people use smart phones to shop. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan the QR code of product with your phone 2. The Product automatically lands in your online cart. 3. When the online purchases is done, it is delivered to your door right after you get home. RESULT People can shop at Tesco Homeplus wherever they go, without having to visit the actual store. Moreover, they could change their waiting time to shopping time.

Future World

Really an awesome concept, very much promising, in fact we have already started moving towards this concept. We have already started extensively using touch sensitive gadgets, gesture recognizing gadgets, smart vehicles, innovative display technology and much more seen in this Video. Don't see any hitch this concept becoming a reality. This video covers most of the future concepts already compiled and posted here in my blog since many years for now. Recently at the local shopping festival in town came across a stall displaying some photo frames and name plates. Could not recognize what was so special about that. But after having a close look found out ... oh! that was a domestic switch-board having transparent touch sensitive switches to operate the fan, lights and door bell, also operated using remote control. Wow!!! thought have we arrived yet so far. Really Mesmerizing. Enjoy Watching.

Apple engineer uses Lego to rebuild ancient Greek mechanism, will surely try to patent it

Image
The Antikythera Mechanism is what you call truly old school technology. Argued to be the world's oldest known computer, this ancient Greek invention was used some time circa 100BC to calculate and "predict celestial events and eclipses with unprecedented accuracy." Skipping past the two millennia in which it lay lost on a sea floor somewhere, the Mechanism has now been recreated by an Apple software engineer by the name of Andrew Carol, who has lovingly pieced 1,500 Lego Technic blocks together, creating 110 gears and four gearboxes in total. Each box is responsible for performing one piece of arithmetic, and when the resulting machine is fed with appropriate calendar data, it spits out a (hopefully accurate) prediction for the next time a solar eclipse should occur. All well and good, but we're really just amazed by the beauty of those gears working.

Reebok sets sights on flexible computing sportswear

Image
Science has prototyped flexible versions of just about everything a ever-loving geek needs: displays, memory, batteries, LEDs, speakers and an input device or three. Now, Reebok's looking to put some of that computing power up our sleeves. The apparel manufacturer's teamed up with MC10 -- a startup founded by our old friend John Rogers, who helped pioneer the field -- with the intent to build "conformable electronics" into high-performance clothing for athletes over the next couple of years. Though the company told MIT Technology Review the devices typically consist of thin silicon strips printed onto flexible materials, and that they might they might measure metabolism and performance using embedded sensors, hard details are few -- the only thing we know for sure is that a flexible tech scientist just scored a partnership with a major company, and we're hopeful they'll make something neat. PR after the break.

Sony's Wearable Wrist Computer

Sony's Wearable Wrist Computer With technologies like flexible OLED touchpanels, a real wearable wrist computer will most certainly be coming sooner than later. This Sony concept shows what it may look like. Featuring a slide-out keypad, flexible display, and hopefully, a user-friendly interface.
