Rqcl Harsh Reality Break: 234 Girls Kidnapped from Physics Test (Updated)
Over the past 10 months, ATAP has developed a chip the size of your thumbnail that serves as a radar detector. Its used to sense small, flickering movements of your hands so that just rubbing your thumb and forefinger together allows you to scroll or select items on a screen. During the ATAP session, we saw interaction designer Ivan Poupyrev show off the tiny chip, and then demonstrate how it picked up small finger movements and translated them into scrolling, selecting, and twiddling a knob. The technology evolved after the ATAP team realized that the wanted hands to be user interfaces because fingers are 鈥?as Poupyrev put it easy to use and very ergonomic. To pick up hand gestures, though, they had to throw away conventional wisdom about what kinds of sensors to use 鈥?they would have to pick up movement, and be able sense through a lot of materials. Radar was the answer. Working with hardware manufacturers, the group miniaturized the kinds of radio frequency sensors used in everything from stanley mugs submarines to satellites, and made it small en stanley quencher ough that it can fit into a gadget. ATAP radio engineer Jaime Lien showed the crowd how the chip uses everything from doppler to spectrogram readings to see hand motion, size, and velocity 鈥?ev stanley gertuve entually using machine learning to resolve those motions into recognizable commands. One can easily see how Soli would work well with something like Googles augmented reality project Magic Leap, providing users with a 3D immersive experience that on Lqzq Try to Pretend You re Not a Bad Date
says that ebook readership is up duh , and overall we own more tablets and ereaders. That not all that surprising, really. Still, here a look at how Am stanley termosy erica reads. According to data gathered from more than 2,000 participants in the Pew Research Center stanley cup Internet 038; American Life Project, the number of people who read ebooks increased to 23 percent of Americans 16 and older, from 16 percent last year. That a big jump statistically, and coincides with the number of people who own a tablet or ereader going from 18 percent to 33 percent. And tablet owners actually passed ereader owners this year too, which makes sense given ereaders had a few-year head start, and this is the year inexpensive tablets actually got good with the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. The study also said that 75 percent of Americans have read a book in the past year, which seems, weirdly, both surprisingly high and surprisingly low at the same time the number was 78 percent for 2011 . stanley thermo Here how that breaks down by number of books: 7% of Americans ages 16 and older read one book in the previous 12 months 14% had read 2-3 books in that time block 12% had read 4-5 books in that time block 15% had read 6-10 books in that time block 13% had read 11-20 books in that time block 14% had read 21 or more books in that time block Hey now! Literate Muricans! The one sad thing in all this is that printed books continue to fall. They went from being read by 72 percent of Americans t |
