Vegas gets the world’s first Droneport

Drones need homes. The FAA put a bevy of new restrictions on the previously unregulated aircraft, putting heavy restrictions on where they can fly, and just how high. But now at the Aerodrome in Boulder City, Nevada, the little craft will be free to soar to their little electronic hearts’ content.

At the Aerodrome commercial operators of drones will be able to receive training and education on unmanned aerial systems, filling a void in the drone pilot market. The minds behind the droneport claim that the industry will experience a massive $82.1 billion growth between 2015 and 2025, creating 103,000 jobs that will need as yet untrained applicants to fill.

America and Rwanda building out drone worlds

Although the Aerodrome is technically the first droneport since it has become partially operational, the facility took that crown from a multi-stage development planned for in Rwanda. British architecture firm Foster + Partners have plans to build three droneports in the country over the next four years. Instead of drone racing, this droneport will provide a hub for the transportation of vital medical supplies and parts to remote and inaccessible parts of the country.

Amazon has long had plans for drone delivery, but the budding Rwanda infrastructure shows the massive potential a drone delivery network offers. In places like Rwanda, where it is difficult to bring goods to the population in remote areas, drones offer a solution. Mountains, lakes, rivers, and other geographical barriers hinder drones far less than wheeled vehicles and require no infrastructure.

Although the Aerodrome droneport is the first of its kind, there is little doubt that there will be many more like it in the future. Droneports will become centers for new sports like drone racing, as well as act as hubs for commercial activities and cargo delivery. Whether those drones are delivering a fresh order from Amazon or a package of life-saving medicine, these drone ports will be revolutionary.

Rohildev from Kerala, is the creator of this unique invention called Fin and it could revolutionize the way we interact with technology. His crowd funding  initiative for his project was an overwhelming success and managed to raise over $200,000 USD from over 2000 people to fine tune and develop this amazing invention.

What is Fin ?

Fin is a real life buddy for every individual to do their digital interactions as natural as possible. Fin is a trendy gadget you can wear on the thumb and make your whole palm as a digital touch interface. 

You can pre-order it from their official website at Wearfin.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, and according to the CDC, clogged arteries from coronary heart disease kill more than 385,000 people annually. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology havedeveloped a tiny device they hope will lower that statistic — it's a 1.4-millimeter silicon chip that takes real-time, 3D images from inside the heart, coronary arteries, and surrounding blood vessels. Using volumetric imaging, it could better guide doctors through heart surgery and allow them to unclog some patients' arteries without major surgery.

The chip is a catheter-based device made with CMOS technology, an active pixel sensor that's common in cell phone cameras and webcams. It uses ultrasound transducers to process signals directly on the device, allowing data from more than a hundred elements on the device to be transmitted using 13 tiny cables. This lets the chip travel through the blood vessels easily and provide 3D images along the way.

Termites may be among the most repellent and invasive insects on the planet, but they've also provided the inspiration for a set of swarm-based construction robots designed by a group of Harvard researchers. The TERMES robot project is based on the behavior of actual termites: while the insects may be known for infesting homes, they also are skilled builders, making impressive, elaborate, and huge structures many times their size with little to no centralized guidance.

Tobii has been slowly upgrading and improving its eye-tracking technology for years, first creating a laptop with eye control, then showing what was possible with an arcade version ofEye Asteroids. Developers have been able to unlock the possibilities of eye control with the company’s Rex peripheral, and now the tech will finally be going commercial with the coming SteelSeries product.

Landmines, nearly undetectable and almost always forgotten they can cripple and kill innocents well after a conflict has been settled. To help remedy this problem Colombian design firm Lemur Studio has developed a landmine detector concept that’s easy to use and extremely portable: shoes.

The firm’s Save One Life concept is a footwear insert that alerts wearers when they’re in a few feet of explosives.

The idea behind the shoe is to allow anyone and everyone to become a land mine detection system. It works by installing a metal detector with a planar coil sensor in the insole. When this detects a land mine nearby, it sends a signal to a wristband the person is wearing warning them of the danger. This early warning system should stop them stepping on the mine and causing serious injury or even death.

According to the designers, Save One Life isn't a solution to the problem, but more of a stopgap technology to reduce the danger from antipersonnel mines.

How many times have you gotten into your car, you started driving and realized that you have forgotten yoursmartphone or wallet? Here’s a simple solution: Bringrr, a device that plugs right into your car then pairs your smartphone through bluetooth technology, and “it will make sure you never drive off without your phone again.” Every time you start your car, Bringrr will search for your smartphone and then notify—“with a friendly flash and sound.”—you with when your device is not present.

Well if you are a good hacker but not having a unfit body, you can apply for a good job in army in the comming generation. See the video below by +Ted Ed to know more:

The Google company, Motorola is getting set to launch a phone with the phone blocks tech. As they say on their blog that,
Led by Motorola’s Advanced Technology and Projects group, Project Ara is developing a free, open

hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. We want to do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software: create a vibrant third-party developer ecosystem, lower the barriers to entry, increase the pace of innovation, and substantially compress development timelines.

Our goal is to drive a more thoughtful, expressive, and open relationship between users, developers, and their phones. To give you the power to decide what your phone does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of, how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it.

  

Small, sleek and unique, it looks like something that rolled off a sci-fi movie set on to your neighborhood sidewalk. But despite its hi-tech appearance, the RYNO was built to accomplish a simple mission: making motorized personal transportation accessible, enjoyable, and practical.

Google has recently acquired a British artificial intelligence company Deep Mind for around $500 Million.
Hearing it seems to that Google is keeping their first step to the world of robots. Well the thing is that what will be the next masterpiece by Google? Go-Go Bot, may be : )  

Toyota brought to the Tokyo Motor Show, the FV2 might be the most creative. The minimalist single-seat concept is a glimpse at Toyota's idea of a "fun to drive" vehicle in the future.
The FV2 is essentially a pod with a diamond-shaped wheel array (what powers said wheels has not been disclosed), and Toyota says that the technology of the vehicle allows it to gauge the driver's mood and suggest possible destinations. The interaction between driver and vehicle is also displayed in an augmented reality screen on the windshield, and the car can also act as a mood ring of sorts with exterior colors and patterns that can change based on the driver's mood.

The update will reportedly let you import 3D projects in OBJ, STL, 3DS, Collada and KMZ files and make changes using Photoshop tools.   

Smartphone sensors are a very important part of our lives.In this post it is a basic description about these one should know.

1. Proximity Sensor: Recognizes whether the mobile phone is located near to the user or not by sending Infrared rays.
2. Gesture Sensors: It will look for your gesture movements, mainly eyes or hand and act accordingly.
3. RGB Light Sensor: Measure the red, green, blue and white intensity of the light source, used mainly to make adjustments in the Cameras.
4. Gyro Sensor: Used to detect the mobile phone rotation state based on three axes
5. Accelerometer: Detects the orientation of phone according to three axes. This sensor is widely used in all portable gadgets.
6. Geomagnetic Sensor: Used in Maps to detect directions by detecting magnetic field intensity.
7. Temperature/Humidity Sensor: Checks temperature and humidity levels.
8. Barometer: Identifies the atmospheric pressure at the user’s current location.
9. Hall Sensor: Recognizes whether the cover is open or closed.
10. Motion Sensor: Which detects the motion of Phone, especially for gaming and unlocking phones
11. Ambient Light Sensor: To check the intensity of light in the atmosphere and adjust display brightness accordingly.
12. Gravity Sensor: It’s usually an accelerometer which contains a weight or tube inside. So moving of this weight tells the phone whether it moves right or left, top or bottom, up or down. It works mainly during gaming.
