Everyone loves a smart, stylish, compact and powerful device which surely adds to the productivity manifolds and this is where tablets came in and then there came powerful tablets to ease the work and this resulted in Surface Pro 3 a powerhouse. Well you might be wondering why am I talking about this, it’s because of the latest research from the folks at Microsoft Applied Sciences.
Looking to further bridge the gap between slate and laptop, Microsoft Applied Sciences built a prototype device it calls the DisplayCover: a keyboard cover that houses an e-ink touchscreen display. The 1,280 x 305 resolution panel not only provides access to app shortcuts, but it can also handle touch gestures for navigation and accept stylus input. The e-ink display material was selected because it wouldn’t put too much added strain on battery life like a full-color touch panel would. It’s interesting to take a look at what companies are doing to make efficient use of small screen sizes for maximizing productivity.
The stylus feature seems to make things like signing documents and scribbling notes a breeze, based on the demo video. In the case of an app like Photoshop where you need constant access to tool palettes, those items can be parked at the top of the keyboard so they don’t take up valuable space on the tablet’s display.
Really looking forward to this awesome feature rich display which is very handy. Let us know what you feel about this in the comments below.
If you are into medicine or surgery there is not a whole lot out there as in app terms to get close to all things surgical which also includes tutorials,we have featured some apps before in this field but this app stands alone for features and more and its called Touch Surgery , I have always had an interest in medicine and surgery and read up on it quite often and like to see new things arrive on mobile,this app is excellent and even if surgery is not your thing you should take a look..The app is available on Android and iOS too so you have no excuse.. Touch Surgery is an interactive mobile surgical simulator that guides you step-by-step through every part of an operation, and every decision that’s made along the way. It’s the OR in your pocket.
The app was created by Jean Nehme and Andre Chow, two surgeons who were looking for a solution to supplement their training at the time that working hours caps were put on surgeons in the UK. The reason they emphasise aesthetics in their content is in order to provide the most medically accurate simulations and most effectively disseminate best practices. They employ animators and visual artists who have worked on projects such as The Dark Knight, Gravity, Skyfall, Harry Potter, Avatar, Finding Nemo, and many other films.
If you have a week stomach perhaps its not for you…really its not that bad….
The app contains multiple procedures so you can choose what you like or what might interest you and then you can do training depending on what level you chose,you are then given multiple choice options on what is next,i picked a surgical operation,you are then presented with multiple choice answers on proceeding with the said operation and then you are scored on your progress…
Lets look at what the app has to offer….
Features
With Touch Surgery’s surgical simulator, you can:
-Practice surgery anytime, anywhere…
-Learn operations step-by-step in our training mode
-Experience realistic surgical environments created with state-of-the-art 3D graphics
-Evaluate your knowledge and preparedness in “Test” mode
-Track your results and measure your progress
-Build a personalized library of operations
-Design an ‘in-app curriculum’ that matches your daily schedule
It’s widely accepted that cognitive decision-making should be mastered before you attempt the manual parts of an operation. Or as the surgical mantra goes, “the decision comes before the incision”.
Touch Surgery is built on that foundation. It is changing surgery.
Touch Surgery’s medical content has been developed in collaboration with leading surgeons and surgical institutions worldwide to ensure the utmost accuracy and surgical validity..
Touch Surgery allows you to hone your skills before you operate. Only you can make you the best surgeon, but Touch Surgery will help you get there.
If you are studying medicine or interested in it this app is a must and incredibly intuitive and the UI is also great.. I have tried out a few procedures on the app and its amazing alone what you can learn just using this app about the human anatomy,surgical equipment and more…
MobileFusion is a research project that turns ordinary mobile phones into 3D scanners without any additional hardware. The resulting 3D scans are detailed enough for 3D printing or use in augmented-reality games.
This uses typical RGB camera on most mobiles today so it seems that it is not difficult to introduce to mobiles..
The researchers say the system, called MobileFusion, is better than other methods for 3D scanning with a mobile device because it doesn’t need any extra hardware, or even an Internet connection, to work. That means scientists in remote locations or hikers deep in the woods can capture their surroundings using a regular cell phone without a Wi-Fi connection.
Currently, the researchers are working on making sure the system works with all types of mobile devices, including Windows Phone, Android and iPhone devices. Izadi said they hope to eventually make it available to the general public in some form, but there are no firm plans right now.
See more here it will be interesting to see if and when this will be available and what platform gets it first. of late Microsoft seem to be catering for everyone but itself when it comes to apps.
This premium smartphone is powered by an Octa-Core Snapdragon 615 processor and 3GB of RAM to make multitasking a breeze. The 32GB storage space is plenty enough for all your favourite applications and games.Currently its on a promotion and its not a bad handset for the price is you have €199 to spare for a new device,the only thing to think about is working on 4G here in Ireland with certain bands,it will work on band 3.

Earlier this year we heard some news about Google and Project Tango with some great features. Intel and Google have come together and developed a Project Tango smartphone that uses Intel’s Real Sense 3D camera technology. The company unveiled the Project Tango developer kit for Android smartphones utilizing RealSense at the Intel Developer Forum 2015.
Google’s Project Tango that graduated from ATAP in February this year and became an official Google Project, combines the camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer to estimate six degree of freedom motion tracking, providing developers the ability to track 3D motion of a device while simultaneously creating a map of the environment.
Earlier in May, Google said that Qualcomm Snapragon 810-powered Project Tango smartphone will come in Q3 2015. However, Intel did not mention any specific date for the smartphone at the event. The company said that developer kits will begin shipping to Android developers at the end of this year.
The smartphone features a 6-inch display and has a number of cameras at the back, which makes it possible to scan the room in 3D in real time. Intel first announced its RealSense sensor for mobile phones in April this year. The smartphone will be useful for virtual reality, augmented reality and digital mapping as well.
