Non-touch screen technology

Wait a minute, isn't touch screen is the most hip thing nowadays? If you don't have a touch screen device, you seems like out of touch from technology. Well, in this case it is you don't need to touch the screen, what you need is finger gesture. Similar to X-Box kinect, but you don't need to be jumping up and down, squat and wave like a mad man or woman to control the game. Watch the video from Leap Motion:



The second video seems like same as first video, jump to 0:52 to see the fingers being detect and play Angry Birds with a pair of chopstick!


Btw, touch screen can hurt fingers or skin if you use it too much and too often, especially playing games. :)

Samsung Smart Window

First, there was smartphone, then smart TV and now smart Window? Initially when I read the title of the youtube video, I thought just another OS. I was wrong, this Window is not the OS Windows, it is a real window, just that you can do your normal touch screen stuffs. Watch the video:



Even though the reported mentioned that people cannot see from the other side of the window, but what if someone find out how to do it? Don't think it is safe to surf all the rated websites on this window. :P

What do you think?

More digital books than paperback books

You heard it right. Amazon now is reporting selling more digital books (on kindle) than paperback books. I have a friend show me his kindle that he asked another friend to buy from US. The kindle not only can read the digital format from Amazon, it also reads pdf and a lot of photo formats, of course no color.


Some China companies are working on color kind of kindle, so I would think that is the next step, no more papers, just digital format, anywhere, anytime.

Nowadays I have been reading a lot of Chinese novels on my old HTC Touch Elfin. This smartphone is not in Chinese, but in English version, but after some sort of hacking (from googling around of course!), I can read Chinese text, nicely. HEHE.


How about you? Have you been reading more digital books than paperback books lately? Let me know. :)
