Visualizing video at the speed of light




Massachusetts Institute of Technology investigators have produced a new picturing system that can produce visual data at a pace of one trillion exposures per second. That is accelerated sufficient to acquire a slow-motion video recording of a burst of light moving the distance of a one-liter bottle, rebounding off the cap and reverberating back to the bottle’s bottom.

The picture acquired by this system is therefore 2D, merely merely one of the dimensions — the one matching the steering of the slice — is spatial while the other one is time. The picture therefore corresponds the arrival time of photons going through linear-dimension cut of space.

Bearded Dragon playing Ant Crusher


This is rather funny. The video depicts a Bearded Dragon playing Ant Crusher on a tablet. I wonder if the record will be beaten.



Pogona is a type of lizards known by the common name of bearded dragons. The term "bearded dragon" is most generally employed to identify the Central Bearded Dragon. Members of this genus reside in the waterless, rough, semi-desert areas and adust open forests of Australia.

Mechanical engineer develops a robotic Venus Flytrap


Mohsen Shahinpoor is an expert and a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maine. He developed a robotic version of the notorious bug consuming Venus Flytrap, employing various materials he manufactured - ionic polymeric metal composite - a nanomaterial that can be exploited to imitate the way muscles work. He applies this fabric to animate the detection and closure abilities of the Venus Flytrap.




In order to create this robot, Shahinpoor designed two “leaves” that imitate the mouth-like appearing of the Flytrap. After this step, he mechanical engineered a backbone from a roll of copper. And so, trying to re-create the small fuzzes on the Flytrap that operate as the detectors, he summed minuscule strips of the ionic polymeric metal composite. The rest of the project was engineered as a typical electrical relay and electric potential generation arrangement.


At first sight, this mechanical engineered project could not look like much. But if we think about it, it's clear that the robotic Venus Flytrap is in reality a presentation of a new form of technology that could contribute to improvements in medical applications.


An elaborated application based on this mechanical engineering program could be the basics of future human muscle replacements. Also, this project could lead to medical developments in sensory applications. A good case could be reestablishing facial manifestations to patients who lose this ability after a stroke.

Canon SX40 HS vs Sony HX 100V

Professionals and enthusiasts love DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras that have a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to the viewfinder. When triggering, mirror move away and let light reach the sensor. Pros love the larger size of the sensor and quality optics and interchangeable lenses. But the possibility of manual setting of all parameters are largely the elements that make the difference.




Bridges cameras tries to make the connection between DSLR and compact cameras. Bridge cameras allow full manual mode, but smaller sensor, no optical viewfinder, and no possibility to change objectives. They, however, allow large zooms and macro capabilities. The disadvantage is that they use many additional optics and software corrections, all these fireworks affecting the final quality of images.

Next Kinect can read lips and measure emotions [rumor]



It seems that rumors began to emerge about a new Microsoft product. I've gathered the available that, and many say that will be called or Xbox 720 or Xbox Loop.

The new console will be available in two models: one for common users and one for hardcore gamers. The new Xbox will feature an extremely sensitive motion sensor and a voice recognition unit. It will be sufficiently precise that it can read lips, to follow the movement of fingers and will be able to grasp the tone of voice, thus detecting players' emotions.

The current version has undergone upgrades to improve the quality of the camera. Microsoft recently released Kinect Avatar that allows tracking movement on lips and eyebrows. There are all sorts of rumors that Microsoft aims to develop a new technology that allows finger tracking for the next version of Kinect. Probably the current will be enhanced. It is rumored that Microsoft would use Kinect Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 interface 2.

They hope the new Kinect will be released with Windows 8 early next year.
