We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non-linear effects of sound produce forces on the skin which are strong enough to generate tactile sensations. This mid-air haptic feedback eliminates the need for any attachment of actuators or Read more about Touch 3D shapes in mid-air using ultrasound[…]

Because NVidia has a program called Gameworks, which developers can sign up for to optimise their game for NVidia cards – 60% of the market. The closed and proprietary Gameworks makes it almost impossible to optimse for AMD, which means that $500,- AMD cards perform worse than $300,- NVidia cards, unless the developer has spent Read more about NVidia optimised games are being crippled for AMD by NVidia[…]

3D ScanningFast, Easy and Low-costWith Skanect, capturing a full color 3d model of an object, a person or a room has never been so easy and affordable. Skanect transforms your Microsoft Kinect or Asus Xtion camera into an ultra-low cost scanner able to create 3D meshes out of real scenes in a few minutes. Enter Read more about Skanect by Occipital | 3D Scanning Made Easy[…]
This machine uses lasers to scan a small object, allowing you to replicate it in a 3D Printer. It’s an early adopter thing that costs $1400,- but allows you to print stuff without any knowledge of 3D modelling. Digitizer | 3D Scanner | 3D Scanning | MakerBot.
A very clear howto on creating your own PCB and how to plan and execute your design. How to Make the Perfect PCB – Part 1 – Michael Leonard.
By printing layered objects within the structure of an object you can put more information inside it to be read with a millimetric radar. Microsoft Has Invented a Way To Embed Data in 3D Printed Objects.
The makerbot scans items using cameras and laters and saves the 3d model so that you can replicate it later on a 3d printer. http://store.makerbot.com/digitizer.html
It uses various plastics, meaning you can print in various colours and should cost between $1500 – $2000. Fabbster is a German comapnymand the product looks very good.

Leaf spine has no tiers and allows data between server nodes to communicate much faster with lower latency. In an age of cloud computing where there is lots of data communication between servers or nodes inside the network, have to go up and down through the tiers is inefficient. No more tiers for flatter networks Read more about Leaf-spine vs three tier networking[…]
