Cell Phone with a Built-in Projector...

Now you might have seen gadgets like this in movies, but once again science has succeeded in catching up with fiction.It's difficult to enjoy videos or movies on cell phone with friends when all you've got is a tiny 3 inch screen.


Well, Texas Instruments has got an answer for this problem.Don't use your cell phone screen, use a wall instead.They've come up with a digital light processing (DLP) "pico" projector, which can fit right into a cell phone. what..!! you don't believe me, well, watch it for yourself. The Cell phone used in the demonstration is a fake but the projector works and it is fit into the body of a cell phone.. .

The projector contains three lasers, a DLP chip and a power supply and measures about 1.5 inches in length. With the projector, the cell phone can beam DVD-quality video onto a screen or a wall, thereby allowing it to serve as a video player or a television. By using the projector, the actual "screen" size can be much larger than what a person would get by using the LCD panel integrated into the phone. The chip inside the phone, in fact, could drive images for a wide screen television.

Hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors inside the handset flip with tiny amounts of energy, reflecting the right colours to make up the picture.

If it needed as much power as a standard projector, the show would be over in minutes. "In designing this pico-projector, with the use of LED illumination and the chip, along with other components, we've engineered it to last longer," said Michael Guillory, head of marketing for Texas Instruments' digital light processing products.

"You want to use the cell phone, so you don't want it to take up all its power using the projector," he said. "So by designing it to last at least an hour and a half it allows our customers to manufacture a very usable device."

Well, i can think of a number of things to do with this cool gadget which i'm not going to type here, I'm sure you can think for yourself. But here's a link to some very interesting ideas, and another video of the gadget. check it out.

3d Printer-A Printer that Prints out 3D Objects

Ever Looked at a Really Cool Gadget on Your Computer Screen and Thought How cool it would be to just Get it Out of the Computer and have it.Well,If you have,Your Dream has come true.The Object that you have been looking at and Drooling,could be yours,Instantly.What you have to do is just print it.Yes.....let me repeat...Print it.Print the object on your screen on a special Printer seen in the Pic Above,Beside the P.C.

Believe it or not, three-dimensional printers already exist. Using a process known as stereolithography, companies such as Z Corporation and Objet Geometries sell printers that create 3-D models by depositing and hardening layer after layer of smart polymers.


Researchers at Berkeley in 2003 took the idea a step further, proposing a machine that integrated the printing of circuits into the process, thus potentially creating a fully formed piece of electronics (e.g., a remote control, a light bulb) all at once.The above Seen Printer Can Create a fully Formed electronic Device With all different Kinds Of Materials.

For Those who Have Been Drooling At this Idea,I Must Tell you that the the Cost of The Printer Is Higher that Anything You Might want to Print out. Industrial machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, a "moderately priced" desktop version exists as well. Japanese company Autostrade produces a $25,000 machine called the E-Darts Solid Printer that looks like a cross between a microwave and an Easy Bake Oven.(In The Top Pic).And Even If you Have Enough Money to Buy It,You Would Need to Have The Actual Blue Prints Of the Device to Print It Out.Unless You Want to Print Out a Razor or a Plastic Box.

Well,Even if the Most Of us Can't Even Think Of Buying This Ultra Cool Product,We can Certainly Dream About it Being Available For Us In a Near Future at Reduced Prices.Think About A Future where You will no longer need to go to a Store to Buy a T.V. Or a Cell phone.Just Order Online ,Get The Coded Blueprints Provided By the Manufacturer (It Should Be Coded Such that it can be used only Once),And Print It Out.Our Own Production Plant.Looks Like This Cool Device Could Put The Assembly Workers Out Of Business.Although Don't Worry,It's Definitely Not Gonna Happen In the Near Future.
