9 EXCITNG GREEN TECHNOLOGIES FROM 2015.

1. Smart scooter

It's described as the world's first "smart scooter" and has been developed to meet the challenges of rapidly expanding cities. The Gogoro Smartscooter is a zero emissions, electric powered two-wheeler designed to be both user-friendly and accessible to the mass market.
One of the big selling points is that riders won't need to wait to refuel or recharge it. The company has announced plans for the Gogoro Energy Network, a battery swapping infrastructure. That means when the lithium ion cells become depleted, users can make a six-second swap at any GoStation for a fully charged battery pack. Batteries can be reserved in advance, and a subscription-based payment model offers unlimited access to as many charged batteries as needed.
The Smart scooter is packed with 30 on board sensors, cloud connectivity and an integrated Gogoro mobile application that enables the scooter to find the closest GoStation, deliver detailed scooter diagnostics, customized regenerative braking and track ride details.

2. Electronic 'undershoes'

Could strapping a pair of these to your feet be an answer to curbing urban congestion? Given that most traffic moves at an amble, this product from French company Rollkers is claimed to increase a person's average walking speed to up to 7 mph. Company founder Paul Chavand, conceived the idea based largely on the magic feeling he experienced when using the "travelator" or the moving walkway traditionally found in airports.

As he deemed it unfeasible to equip an entire city with travelators, he inverted the problem and focused on integrating the technology into footwear. "People drive and take public transportation that pollutes the air and environment with nasty emissions; and Rollkers helps to reduce that to some extent," he said.

The product is expected to be available for licensees in late 2015.

3. Mobility for the masses

The automotive sector is always out in force at CES and this year was no different. Ford has used the event to announce a series of 25 mobility "experiments" to take place around the world.

In Bangalore, India, Ford is working with Zoomcar to test a sharing concept that would allow small groups — co-workers, apartment dwellers and families — to share a vehicle among multiple drivers. In London and New York, the auto maker is investigating a shareable service of mini-buses offering point-to-point pick-up and drop-off on-demand with the aim of better understanding the social dynamics and routing requirements of shared transportation. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, Ford is working with Georgia Tech on technology that makes it easier for a driver to locate a parking space, reserve it and navigate to the space with the goal of reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

4. Accelerating the hydrogen future

Toyota has followed in the footsteps of Tesla by revealing at CES 2015 that it is making available thousands of hydrogen fuel cell patents royalty-free. The auto giant hopes the initiative will spur development and introduction of innovative fuel cell technologies around the world.

The list includes about 1,970 patents related to fuel cell stacks, 290 associated with high-pressure hydrogen tanks, 3,350 related to fuel cell system software control and 70 patents related to hydrogen production and supply.

Bob Carter, senior vice president of Automotive Operations at Toyota Motor Sales, USA Inc., said: "The first generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, launched between 2015 and 2020, will be critical, requiring a concerted effort and unconventional collaboration between automakers, government regulators, academia and energy providers. By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically."

5. Self-driving cars

For Audi, CES was a chance to demonstrate its driverless technology.

An Audi A7 arrived at CES in Las Vegas, Nev., after a 560-mile journey from Silicon Valley, much of it piloted by itself, proving its capability of driving in traffic.

The drive was made possible by a change in California's laws allowing testing of driverless cars on public roads as long as an experienced test driver was in the passenger seat. The concept vehicle used various production-ready sensors as well as sensors integrated into production vehicles today that detect the vehicles surroundings.

6. Wearable environmental monitors

Wearables were center stage at CES, including this, the "wearable enviro tracker" from TZOA.

It incorporates a sensor for measuring air quality, UV as well as other things such as temperature and humidity. Unlike traditional environmental sensors that tend to be large and expensive, this one is designed to be affordable and simply clip to your clothing or bag.

According to TZOA, particles in the air — such as those from vehicle exhausts — have the greatest global environmental effect on human health and is the top metric for air quality levels in highly polluted cities such as Beijing and Delhi. The device alerts you about the state of the air quality with a notification via your smart phone and also uses the data captured to create a street-level pollution map in your community — enabling you to avoid them in the future.

7. Portable solar charger

On the clean energy front, Solpro launched what it says is the industry's fastest portable solar charger, which enables a standard smartphone to be charged in 90 minutes — compared to the typical nine to 20 hours. Small enough to fit in a pocket, Helios Smart allows up to two devices to be charged at one time and works with most smartphones, tablets and other USB-enabled devices.

"We want to make solar charging the new way for consumers to power all of their devices on-the-go and off-the-grid," said Bill Pike, CEO of Solpro. "The idea of solar charging is compelling, but the reality for busy mobile consumers is that it is just not viable for everyday use. Helios Smart has changed all that, and is now the only charging device a person will need for all their on-the-go power. We have moved solar charging beyond the realm of specialty or limited use and brought it to the masses."

8. Smart air-conditioning

A solution to help you get more energy efficient in your home came from start-up Sensibo. It's developed a device that makes a standard remote-controlled air conditioner connected and intelligent, and saves 40 percent on its energy use. It lets users control their air-conditioning with an app that automatically adapts to your lifestyle and changes units settings when appropriate.

9. Connected homes

At CES, Nest announced a raft of more partners to its "Works with Nest" concept. This makes Nest devices compatible and able to interact with other things both inside and outside of your house with the aim of making a smarter, more connected home.

Partnerships have been developed with third party companies including electric vehicle charging company Charge point, which means your thermostat can let your charging station know when energy is in high demand so you can avoid charging your car when electricity is most expensive.

Also, the Kevo Smart Lock from Kwikset Kevo can tell your Nest thermostat who is at home and what temperatures they like or when no one is at home so your thermostat doesn't waste energy.

Which of these technologies do you think has the most promise? Add your thoughts below.

SIX EXCITING  NEW TECHNOLOGIES...

Technology moves at an ever increasing pace and last 

year was no exception. Whilst we saw many emerging 

technologies, 2014 is set to bring them into the 

consumer marketplace....

This article takes a look at some of the most exciting  

technologies you can expect to see more of in the  

coming year.

   

4k Resolution

4K resolution is a type of high definition display for devices. 

The name refers to it’s horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels. 

That’s double the resolution of devices that have been available 

until this year.

4k content will start to become readily available with Netflix 

showing off their internet-delivered service at the Consumer 

Electronics Show (CES). Netflix is also now able to stream 4k 

video at a rate comparable to current HD streaming.

With many manufacturers producing 4k TVs and monitors,  

2014 is set to be the year that 4k TV becomes consumer ready. 

There has also been a significant drop in price, making it a 

more accessible offering for mass market consumption.

3D Printing and Scanning

This year will see a vast amount of 3D printer manufacturers 

with many new kickstarters to boot. 3D printers are becoming 

easier to obtain for the average consumer with models now 

available under £1,000. Users can now create 3D models or buy 

them premade from various modeling sites. Companies like 

Makerbot are at the forefront of delivering high quality ready 

made 3D printers that are making it more accessible for 

everyone.

There are also developments in 3D scanning technology. The 

Sense 3D scanner allows users to scan anything from small 

consumer products including footwear to much larger objects 

and even themselves.

Car Technology

Self driving cars seem like something from the future, 

but recent developments in autonomous driving make it 

a much nearer reality. Audi’s concept A7 Autonomous 

car drove itself onto the stage at the CES show, 

stopping in front of hundreds of spectators. The vehicle 

scans the road ahead using lasers, radar and cameras 

on the windshield which check blind spots. The 

autopilot technology is intended to give drivers a break 

on long journeys. It can also read data from its inbuilt 

GPS to automatically switch indicators on before the 

next turn.

Audi has also developed its Connect system that allows 

the car to have built in Wifi, allowing up to 8 mobile 

devices to connect in car. The inbuilt 3G connection 

allows the car to connect to Google Maps for high 

definition photos of the surrounding area.

Wearable technology

With Google Glass still awaiting a sensible priced release, 

smaller firms will be showing off their own tech-enhanced 

eyewear.

Another pair of smart glasses is the Glassup. It superimposes 

alerts from your phone, directions and other information onto 

the user’s right eye.

Much of the other wearable tech we’ll see this year will be 

focused on fitness with many brands producing bracelets. 

Razor’s Nabu integrates two OLED screens that monitor 

information including your heart rate, how many steps you’ve 

taken and your sleeping habits. The Nabu also sets itself from 

the rest by including motion gesture control which can help 

you 

navigate your smartphone with the flick of a wrist. Many of the 

smart bracelets available give you goals and diet tips along the 

way. Some even incorporate games to compete with your 

friends so you can track who has travelled the furthest or 

burned the most calories.

Augmented Reality

Augmented and virtual reality could be one of the fastest 

growing technologies this year. A few devices were developed 

in the 90’s including the Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. However, it 

failed due to low resolution and motion graphics that caused 

dizziness in users.

Oculus, the company behind the Oculus Rift, started as a 

Kickstarter campaign and after gaining investment now has a 

vast amount of early adopters. The new Oculus Rift Prototype 

dubbed the ‘Crystal Cove’ improves motion tracking, allowing 

for a better and realistic head movement. The added 1080p 

OLED screen provides a much higher resolution. Motion 

sickness has been addressed with users now being able to enjoy 

the Rift for sustained periods of time.

PrioVR have developed a full body exoskeleton suit which users 

can wear to provide full motion capture capability. You can 

run, jump and even crawl with natural movement. Paired with 

the Oculus Rift, this enables a sophisticated experience of the 

virtual world.

Home automation

Homes are also starting to become smarter, tracking 

information about how we live and using that data to provide 

better solutions to our everyday routines. We can expect home 

automation to improve vastly on the devices of last year. In 

2014, the home automation market will rapidly expand as home 

owners find the latest gadgets more accessible.

We’ve already seen many robotic cleaning solutions, but one 

big upgrade we can expect to see this year is the Moneual Rydis 

H68-Pro with the dual setup of hoover and mop combined. This 

robotic cleaner navigates its way around whilst hoovering and 

cleaning up debris. After a thorough clean, it will change into 

mopping mode using cleaning fluids built into its storage tank.

Home security is making progress too, in the form of automatic 

door locking systems. There are already a number of systems 

that can remotely open and lock doors from your smartphone, 

but this year we will see devices that will be compatible with 

more locking mechanisms.

That’s our round-up of technology to keep an eye out for during 

2014. Let us know if you spot any other exciting technologies 

throughout the year!

WIRELESS CHARGING-MODERN TECHNOLOGY ON THE MOBILE ITSELF.

 

AN Example of Wireless Recharging is Given Below:

If you've ever untangled a Gordian knot of wires and cords, or seen your 2-year-old sucking on your laptop charger, you understand the appeal of wireless charging.

Until recently, however, there weren't alternatives to charging through bulky wires and cords. But as wireless charging becomes more advanced, it may be used to power a wide variety of things other than phones or watches, such as lamps or even electric buses, experts say

recharge your mobile phone.

HOW IT WORK

Wireless charging as a concept has been around since inventor and physicist Nikola Tesla first concluded that you could transfer power between two objects via an electromagnetic field, said Ron Resnick, president of the Power Matters Alliance, which has a wireless charging protocol.

Essentially, wireless charging uses a loop of coiled wires around a bar magnet — which is known as an inductor. When an electric current passes through the coiled wire, it creates an electromagnetic field around the magnet, which can then be used to transfer a voltage, or charge, to something nearby, Resnick said.

Most wireless power stations nowadays use a mat with an inductor inside, although electric toothbrushes, for example, have long hadwireless charging embedded in their bases. Because the strength of the electromagnetic field drops sharply with distance (as the square of the distance between the objects), a device must be fairly close to a charging station to get much power that way, Resnick said.

But although the basic concept of wireless charging has been 

understood for more than 100 years, scientists hadn't figured out a way to efficiently transfer large amounts of power using this technique, Resnick said. The amount of electric charge transferred is proportional to the number of coils that can be looped around the tiny bar magnet, as well as the strength of the magnet. Until recently, wires and electronics couldn't be made small enough and cheaply enough to make wireless charging feasible.

Improvements in technology

But that's changed in recent years.

"The cost to do it has been really reduced," Resnick told Live Science. "To make it more efficient, you have to have very, very flat coils of wire," enabling many loops of wire to be coiled around the tiny bar magnet, he said.

What's more, wireless power stations must charge only objects that are supposed to be charged, such as a phone, and not, for example, a stray penny that falls on it, Resnick said.

To ensure that the wireless charging station doesn't power an errant object, wireless power stations use tiny transmitters that communicate with small receivers in a device, such as a phone, said John Perzow, vice president of market development for the Wireless Power Consortium, which created the Qi wireless charging technology.

 In essence, the receiver "talks" to the charging station, Perzow said. "If it says I'm an authorized Qi receiver, it's OK to send me some power. I'll let you know how much power I need, and as those needs change, I'll let you know. And when I'm done charging, I'll let you know so you can go back to sleep," he told Live Science.

Future uses

Nowadays, both the Power Matters Alliance and Wireless Power Consortium have developed competing protocols, or systems, for wirelessly charging devices. Existing systems are used primarily tocharge smartphones or smartwatches.

But wireless power may soon extend to many more applications. For instance, electric buses in South Korea can now be charged through a wireless platform, and IKEA is rolling out a new line of furniture, including lamps and tables, with built-in charging stations.

Other groups are integrating wireless charging stations into public locations so that people with so-called battery anxiety — that ever-present fear of running out of juice —  can charge their devices on the go, Perzow said.

As technology improves, it may be possible to charge bigger and more power-hungry devices, such as blenders or even vacuum cleaners, Resnick said.

And companies are already designing systems in which wireless charging platforms in hotel rooms will be able to not only charge phones, but also figure out when people are in their rooms, sync their TV to the last spot in a movie they were watching on the plane and sense whether the air conditioning should be cranked up, Perzow s

  

           

SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY-INNOVATION

By: Rashik Ku

   

                       " This is a interaction between physical world and mechanical world"                                                  

              We can interacting with the physical object around us.there are enormous number of them that we use every day.most of the objects are related to computer.these objects are much more fun to use.there is a main content that related to this is that GESTURES,we use gestures not only to interact with these objects,but we also use them to interact with each other. in our daily life itself we use so many gesture related objects.We just want to observe every day that how our knowledge about objects and gestures,and how we use these objects.

    when we interact with these objects in the digital world we can saw it's falls from physical to digital.mostly the sixth sense technology related to digitalised world

The complete discription about sixth sense technology is given below:

Aim:To create a Sixth Sense device which works of the principles of gesture recognition and image processing to capture, zoom(in and out) and toggle pictures with ease just by the help of colored caps worn on the fingertips of the user.

Motivation: When we were thinking of projects for the summers to execute, we thought of making a hand, which would do exactly what our hand is which could have been something brilliant in robotics. Then we came across a TED talk by Pranav Mistry where he was talking about how we can connect the physical world with the digital world using Sixth Sense. It looked simply amazing how he was able to just show his fingers in front of his camera (phone) and the camera would click pictures. This just enthralled us and was just something we had to make considering it’s sheer brilliance.

Theory: ‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. Every one of us is aware of the five basic senses – seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting and hearing. These senses have evolved through millions of years. Whenever we encounter a new object/experience our natural senses tries to analyse that experience and the information that is obtained is used to modify our interaction with the environment. But in this new age of technologies the most important information that helps one to make right decision is something that cannot be perceived and analysed by our natural senses. That information is the data in the digital form, and it is available to everyone through sources like internet. The sixth sense technology concept is an effort to connect this data in the digital world in to the real world. Although miniaturized versions of computers help us to connect to the digital world even while we are travelling there aren’t any device as of now which gives a direct link between the digital world and our physical interaction with the real world. Usually the information’s are stored traditionally on a paper or a digital storage device. Sixth sense technology helps to bridge this gap between tangible and non-tangible world. The sixth sense technology was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. According to him the sixth sense technology has a Web 4.0 view of human and machine interactions.The SixthSense technology contains a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera contained in a pendant-like, wearable device. Both the projector the camera and sensors are connected to a coding device (in our case-a laptop) in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks users' hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tips of the user’s fingers. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The Sixth Sense prototype is used to implement several applications that have shown the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system.

The Sixth Sense: SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.

Components of the device:Camera It captures the image of the object in view and track the user’s hand gesture. The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures that user makes with his hand. The camera then sends this data to a smart phone for processing. Basically the camera forms a digital eye, which connects to the world of digital information.

Colored Marker There are color markers placed at the tip of users finger. Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow green and blue colored tape helps the webcam to recognize the hand gestures. The movements and arrangement of these markers are interpreted into gestures that act as a interaction instruction for the projected application interfaces.

Microsoft-enabled Laptop The SixthSense device consists of a laptop which process the data send by the camera. The laptop interprets the hand gestures with help of the colored markers placed at the fingertips. Dev-C++ was the programmer used for all codes made. MinGW was the compiler used. OpenCV libraries were used which contained all functions sufficient to make our project.

Projector The information that is interpreted through the smart phone can be projected into any surface. The projector projects the visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces. The projector itself consists of a battery which have 3 hours of battery life .A tiny LED projector displays the data sent from the smart phone on any surface in view- object, wall or person.

Technologies that are related to Sixth Sense Devices

Augmented Reality

 The augmented Reality is a visualization technology that allows the user to experience the virtual experience added over real world in real time. With the help of advanced AR technology the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. Artificial information about the environment and the objects in it can be stored and retrieved as an information layer on top of the real world view. When we compare the spectrum between virtual reality, which creates immersive, computer-generated environments, and the real world, augmented reality is closer to the real world. Augmented reality adds graphics, sounds, haptic feedback and smell to the natural world as it exists. Both video games and cell phones are driving the development of augmented reality. The augmented systems will also superimpose graphics for every perspective available and try adjusting to every movement of the user's head and eyes. The three basic components of an augmented reality system are the head-mounted display, tracking system and mobile computer for the hardware. The main goal of this new technology is to merge these three components into a highly portable unit much like a combination of a high tech Walkman and an ordinary pair or eyeglasses. The head-mounted display used in augmented reality systems will enable the user to view superimposed graphics and text created by the system. Another component of an augmented reality system is its tracking and orientation system. This system pinpoints the user's location in reference to his surroundings and additionally tracks the user's eye and head movements. Augmented reality systems will need highly mobile computers. As of now many computers aren’t there to satisfy to provide this option.

Gesture Recognition: It is a technology which is aimed at interpreting human gestures with the help of mathematical algorithms. Gesture recognition technique basically focuses on the emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Gender recognition technique enables humans to interact with computers in a more direct way without using any external interfacing devices. It can provide a much better alternative to text user interfaces and graphical user interface which requires the need of a keyboard or mouse to interact with the computer. Interfaces which solely depends on the gestures requires precise hand pose tracking. In the early versions of gesture recognition process special type of hand gloves which provide information about hand position orientation and flux of the fingers. In the SixthSense devices colored bands are used for this purpose. Once hand pose has been captured the gestures can be recognised using different techniques. Neural network approaches or statistical templates are the commonly used techniques used for the recognition purposes. This technique has a high accuracy usually showing accuracy of more than 95%. Time dependent neural network will also be used for real time recognition of the gestures.

Computer Vision:Computer vision is the technology in which machines are able to interpret/extract necessary information from an image. Computer vision technology includes various fields like image processing, image analysis and machine vision. It includes certain aspect of artificial intelligence techniques like pattern recognition. The machines which implement computer vision techniques require image sensors which detect electromagnetic radiation which are usually in the form of ultraviolet rays or light rays. The computer vision find itself applicable in varies field of interest. One such field is bio medical image processing. It’s also used in autonomous vehicle like SUV’s. The computer vision technique basically includes four processes.

1. Recognition: One of the main task of computer vision technique is to determine whether the particular object contain the useful data or not.

 2. Motion Analysis: Motion analysis includes several tasks related to estimation of motion where an image sequence is processed continuously to detect the velocity at each point of the image or in the 3D scene.

3. Scene Reconstruction: Computer vision technique employs several methods to recreate a 3D image from the available images of a scene.

 4. Image Restoration: The main of aim of this step is to remove noise from an given image. The simplest method involves using simple filters like low pass or median filters. In order to get better quality images more complex methods like Inpainting are used.

ADVANTAGES OF SIXTH SENSE DEVICES

Portable

One of the main advantages of the sixth sense devices is its small size and portability. It can be easily carried around without any difficulty. The prototype of the sixth sense is deigned in such a way that it gives more importance to the portability factor. All the devices are light in weight and the smart phone can easily fit into the users pocket.

Cost effective

The cost incurred for the construction of the sixth sense proto type is quiet low. It was made from parts collected together from common devices. And a typical sixth sense device cost up to $300. The sixth sense devices have not been made in large scale for commercial purpose. Once that happens it’s almost certain that the device will cost much lower than the current price.

 Connectedness between real world and digital world

 Forming a connection between the real world and the digital world was the main aim of the sixth sense technology.

Data access directly from the machines in real time

With help of a sixth sense device the user can easily access data from any machine at real time speed. The user doesn’t require any machine-human interface to access the data. The data access through recognition of hand gestures is much easier and user friendlier compared to the text user interface or graphical user interface which requires keyboard or mouse.

Open source software

The software that is used to interpret and analysis the data collected by the device is made open source. This enables other developers to contribute to the development of the system.

                                         APPLICATION:

 The sixth sense technology finds a lot of application in the modern world. The sixth sense devices bridge the gap by bringing the digital world into the real world and in that process allowing the users to interact with the information without the help of any machine interfaces. Prototypes of the sixth sense device have demonstrated viability, usefulness and flexibility of this new technology. According to the words of its developers extend the of use of this new device is only limited by the imagination of human beings. Some practical applications of the sixth sense technology is given below

Map Application With the help of a map application the user can call upon any map of his/her choice and navigate through them by projecting the map on to any surface .By using the thumb and index fingers movements the user can zoom in, zoom out or pan the selected map.

Taking Pictures Another application of sixth sense devices is the implementation of a gestural camera. This camera takes the photo of the location user is looking at by detecting the framing gesture. After taking the desired number of photos we can project them onto any surfaces and then use gestures to sort through those photos and organize and resize them. The user taking making a pose gesture. The camera takes the photo of the location

Drawing Application The drawing application allows the user you to draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger. The pictures that are drawn by the user can be stored and replaced on any other surface. The user can also shuffle through various pictures and drawing by using the hand gesture movements

Making Calls We can make calls with help of sixth sense device .The sixth sense device is used to project the keypad into your palm and the using that virtual keypad we can make calls to anyone.

Interacting with physical objects The SixthSense system also helps to interact with physical objects we use in a better way. It augments physical objects by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch on the users hand. Similarly a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper Newspaper showing live feeds an analog watch projected into the wrist

Getting Information Sixth sense devices can be used for getting various information relating to our everyday life by getting in contact with objects

Product Information: Sixth sense technology uses marker technology or image recognition techniques to recognize the objects we pick in our hand and then provide information relating to that product.

Book Information: By holding and shuffling through the book pages, the sixth sense provides Amazon ratings on that book, other reviews and other relevant things related to the book.

Flight Updates: With the help of the sixth sense technology it is no longer required to log into any sites for checking the status of the flights. The system will recognize your boarding pass and let you know whether the flight is on time or not.

information About People: With help of face recognition techniques the sixth sense devices are able to provide information about the people when we meet them. The sensor detects the face and checks the data base for the relevant information. The system will then project the relevant information about a person like what they do, where they work, Boarding pass showing current status.
