Leap Motion shows off Interaction Engine for their VR hand-tracking tech

What Is Technology? Technology is a body of knowledge devoted to creating tools, processing actions and extracting of  materials. The term ‘TECHNOLOGY” is wide and everyone has their own way of understanding the meaning of technology. We use technology to accomplish various tasks in our daily lives, in brief; we can describe technology as products, processes or organizations. We use technology to extend our abilities, and that makes people as the most important part of any technological system.

Technology is also an application of science to solve a problem. But what you have to know is that technology and science are different subjects which work hand-in-hand to accomplish a specific task or solve a particular problem.
We apply technology in almost everything we do in our lives, we use technology at work, we use it to , extract materials , we use technology for communication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, creating artifacts, securing data, scaling businesses and so much more.  Technology is human knowledge which involves tools, materials and systems. The application of technology results in artifacts or products. If technology is well applied, it can benefit humans, but if it is wrongly applied, it can cause harm to human beings.

Many businesses are using technology to stay competitive, they create new products and services using technology, and they also use technology to deliver those products and services to their customers on time. A good example is, mobile phones companies like Apple & Samsung, these two electronics companies, use high end technology to create new smartphones and other electronic devices to stay competitive. This competitive edge is gained through employing advanced technology.

• Leap Motion shows off Interaction Engine for their VR hand-tracking tech

Today, Leap Motion dropped an early access beta version of their Interaction Engine which makes it easier for developers to build VR environments can adroitly manipulate with their hands. In a blog post, the company calls the engine “a layer that exists between the Unity game engine and real-world hand physics.”

The company already showed off an early version of their Interaction Engine this past February with the “blocks demo” of their updated Orion tracking platform. The new developer tools are now available as a module for their Unity Core Assets.
Leap Motion is quickly becoming the industry standard for VR hand-tracking tech and the feature evolutions they’re implementing are beginning to really leave competing companies in the space in the rearview mirror.

This early access beta of the Interaction Engine gives developers access to the real meat of what makes Orion unique. Not only has hand-tracking recognition seen great improvements in finding the joints of your fingers no matter their position, but the team has made it entirely less frustrating for users to interact with in-game objects so that it’s clear when you want to grab an object or smack it out of your view.

• 3D Printed Car

The latest technology inventions in 3d printing are rapidly changing how things are being made.

It's an emerging technology that is an alternative to the traditional tooling and machining processes used in manufacturing.

At the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, a little known Arizona-based car maker created a media sensation by manufacturing a car at the show.

It was a full scale, fully functional car that was 3d printed in 44 hours and assembled in 2 days. The video below shows the car being made.

 

• Car Gps Tracking

   

Car Gps Tracking Car Gps Tracking is fairly common in new vehicles, providing drivers with tracking and navigation. However, latest technology inventions have made car gps tracking systems more sophisticated, allowing for a wide range of additional uses.Smartbox technology is one example of how car gps tracking systems are being used to lower car insurance.A comprehensive recording of a driver's habits allows insurance companies to provide "pay-as-you-drive" car insurance. City officials in New York City are considering how car gps tracking could be used as "Drive Smart" technology. Most large cities have a limited capability to change the infrastructure of their roadways.A car gps tracking system that integrates with traffic information would give drivers the ability to select routes in real time that were more fuel efficient, less congested, faster or shorter. A driver's recorded routing selection could then be used to penalize or reward drivers by lowering or increasing their related licensing fees or by calculating mileage based "road-use" fees. Eventually, such a system would replace gasoline tax since these revenues will decline as more vehicles become less dependent on fossil fuels.

• Air Into Water                                      

  

       

Johathan Ritchey has invented the Watermill, which is an atmospheric water generator. It converts air into fresh water.This latest technology invention produces fresh water at a cost of about 3 cents a liter (1 quart). Originally designed for areas that do not have clean drinking water, the Watermill is for households that prefer an eco-friendly, cost effective alternative to bottled water.Atmospheric water generators convert air into water when the temperature of the air becomes saturated with enough water vapor that it begins to condense (dew point)."What is unique about the Watermill is that it has intelligence," says Ritche. This makes the appliance more efficient. It samples the air every 3 minutes to determine the most efficient time to convert the air into water. It will also tell you when to change the carbon filter and will shut itself off if it cannot make pure clean water.

•   World's Fastest Motor                      

  
  

• A new motor developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Department of Power Electronics and marketed by the Swiss company, Celeroton, can spin in excess of 1 million revolutions per minute.As a comparison, collapsed stars spin at 60,000 rpms, a blender at about 30,000 and high performance engines at around 10,000 rpms.The matchbook-sized motor has a titatnium shell, ultra-thin wiring and a trade secret iron formulated cylinder. The need for smaller electronic devices requires smaller holes, which means smaller, faster, more efficient drills.

   

• A House that Walks                      

  

• A new prototype house walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England.The eco-friendly house is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six legs. A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to the walking speed of a human.The legs reguire a software algorithm to calculate the movement and position of the legs to provide stability over varying terrain. The house can turn, move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed with GPS waypoints for traveling to destination.
