NTT Docomo, is a Japanese telecommunications company that unveiled a smartphone that will allow you to shop with your eyes only.
NTT Docomo summer lineup of mobile phones featured tech giants like Sony and Samsung. But what stood out from the sea of gadgets was the Arrow NX F-04g that uses iris recognition to make payments when you shop.
This is the first ever smartphone with such a feature. The only smartphone that comes close to this technology is Apple finger authentication.
For smartphone users who end to forget passwords when shopping online, the iris recognition feature eliminates these problems altogether.
The phone owner simply looks at the front-facing camera to unlock their phone and start sending payments.
Nevertheless, one should not underestimate this smartphone as a mere tool for mobile shopping. The Arrow NX F-04g comes with a 5. 2-inch Quadhd screen with a 2, 560 x 1, 440 display resolution.
It is packed with an octa-core processor, 3gb of RAM and 32 GB internal storage.
back in 2010, NTT Docomo introduced a prototype that uses the eye sensor system to help users navigate their phones with eye movement.
A mobile phone will then be programmed to interpret the results and translate it into commands. Hence, the phone user can answer a call,
make a call, switch music tracks, increase or decrease volume by looking left or right or by rotating the eyes in a clockwise direction.
Linking phone usage and human eyes is something that NTT Docomo has been working on for a while now.
The company aims to find clever ways to use mobile phones for today and for the future

#Self-Charging Phones Are on the way, Finally The case that Will Zell slides onto his iphone doesn look that unusual,
but it doing something pretty out of the ordinary: capturing some of the radio waves that the phone transmits
when connecting to cellphone towers and Wi-fi routers, converting them to electricity, and feeding that power back to the phone battery.
Zell is the CEO of Nikola Labs, a startup based in Columbus, Ohio, whose energy harvesting technology was invented by Chi-Chih Chen, a research associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Ohio State university.
Like battery pack cases, the company case plugs into the bottom of the iphone; this way, Zell says,

or just a simple phone with basic capabilities. But the Spiral 2 prototype also shows how tricky it will be for Google to make a modular gadget successful.
The latest device comes about nine months after ATAP unveiled the first Project Ara smartphone prototype, Spiral 1,
Google prototypes have yet to catch up to existing smartphones on features such as cellular data speeds, for example.
Project Ara leader, Paul Eremenko, said the group hopes to get the phone to last for a full day, at least,
though he then said that this might only happen by swapping in another battery at some point (Project Ara aims to let users do this without needing to turn off the phone).
The design of the phone skeleton will need also to be modified so that it can be manufactured easily.
Google plans to start selling Ara phones to customers in Puerto rico as a test market at some point this year, in collaboration with two wireless carriers.
The phones will be sold from trucks that function as mobile stores, as well as over the Internet. Just as third party apps were crucial to the popularity of smartphones,
