The edict that Microsoft has enterprise on lockdown is dissipating. Huge enterprise player Cisco and Apple announced a ast Lanefor ios enterprise users,
which promises a more streamlined and optimized experience for those enterprise customers using Cisco networks and products.
as the release merely states that the companies are dedicated to roviding unique collaboration on iphone
and ipad. few tweaks will also be put in place to make the hop between a Cisco desk phone
and iphone more seamless than it is today. Tim cook had this to say about the tieup:
ios is the world best mobile platform, and nearly every Fortune 500 and Global 500 company today has put ios at the center of their mobile strategy. iphone
and ipad have become essential tools for the modern workforce and are changing the way work gets done.
Together with Cisco, we believe we can give businesses the tools to maximize the potential of ios
and help employees become even more productive using the devices they already love. There a lot of words here and not a lot of meat,
and Cisco is working on is an environment to enable easier onboarding for enterprise users. There no reason for a corporate customer to use phones that aren good for their employees simply
because it easy to get your software onto it. Cisco Executive Chairman John Chambers calls it an ngineering
and go-to-market partnershipwhich again doesn say much other than the two companies probably have a few projects going on
The areas that should see streamlining are Cisco mobile, cloud, and premises-based collaboration tools like Webex.
#Mobile devices Will Either Have 3d Sensors Or Suffer Flat Sales When Apple hot on iphone 6ad campaign covered billboards and posters in 24 cities around the world,
it proved two things: The quality of mobile camera technology is astronomical, and mobile device manufacturers badly want you to know about it.
Moves like these are smart in a world where 1. 8 billion digital photos are shared on a daily basis
At least when confined to the flat images smartphone cameras provide today. But Intel new Realsense/Project Tango phone concept shows there is still more valuable data to be captured:
Depth. Small, inexpensive sensors can now see our world in all three dimensions, for which consumer applications no amount of megapixels alone could achieve.
Exploiting depth is the only logical choice mobile device manufacturers have if they are to keep their products competitive.
Breaking 3d Out Of Hollywood Intel isn the only one at the party. Apple recently confirmed acquiring 3d-sensor manufacturer Linx for $20 million.
when Allied Market research predicts 80 percent of smartphones will carry 3d sensors by 2018, earning a total of $2. 02 billion by 2020.
With depth, a computer can understand the size, shape and distance of all objects within its field of view.
The simplest examples are for image and video editing. An image with depth information would allow you to change things like focus
Depth will bring eye-catching special effects to everybody the way high-resolution smartphone cameras made everyone a photographer.
Allied Market research predicts 80 percent of smartphones will carry 3d sensors by 2018. And that just the start.
The IDF15 keynote had Intel CEO Brian Krzanich quickly calculating storage space needed for objects by scanning them with a 3d sensor.
and stick them on a 3d avatar for use in teleconferencing or even video games Further applications exist for 3d printing, design, mapping, object recognition, facial recognition, gesture-based control and more.
Intel Realsense, like Microsoft more famous Kinect cameras, work by projecting a signal (a laser
They work well for indoor situations and benefit from an existing base of software designed for this technique,
comparing the feeds in real time takes lots of computing power, and calibrating multiple cameras gets complicated. However, recent advances in mobile chipsets are beginning to remedy these issues.
Not Another Flash In The Pan Memories of the not-so-memorable attempts at 3d smartphones a few years ago may stir up doubts of this trend.
Facebook, Google and Microsoft are pouring billions into VR/AR research and acquisitions, and dominate headlines with each new build.
So when you take your first selfie with the next generation of mobile devices, put on your best smile:

#Open Space agency gears up to launch open source 3d printed telescope For those of us who love space
and space exploration but are currently earthbound for the time being, the next best thing is to have a professional-grade telescope that ransportsus into space
and that can capture images with a smartphone camera over the past two years: the Ultrascope. ifty years ago space exploration was the domain of governments,
Altogether-without the smartphone-the cost of building the telescope is just $312. In an interview with Science Magazine
(which features a 9-centimeter mirror) of their final Open source Ultrascope design this upcoming October at the San diego Maker Faire,
When paired with an internet-connected smartphone camera, the Ultrascope will also be able to take high quality photographs
they now announce on their website. These tests took place in a vacuum chamber. The zero gravity 3d printer used in space.
This ocktail-party problemhas been around in the artificial intelligence business for a while, and computers have struggled simply to continue to pick out your voice
when nearby people are talking simultaneously. Some proposed solutions revolved around complex algorithms or equipping robots with a large number of microphones focused on various positions in the vicinity,
but neither have proved very successful. But as they explain in an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
our proposed method is a unique hardware-based approach by exploiting carefully designed acoustic metamaterials,
but the algorithm used for the sensor can almost always tell which direction it comes from.
According to Kim Francois, a spokeswoman from Materialise, the company will contribute with training for digital modeling and 3d printing procedures, clinical software development and technology support.
the key component in this entire venture is a custom-made and very impressive solar-powered, plug-and-play ultraportable 3d printing system.
A combination with easy-to-use software like Openscad is made easily. And remarkably it was conceived in a way similar to how many of us start out:

and filtering out the others. his type of measuring method delivers similar results to the edge detection filter in an image-processing software,
which allows the outline of prominent photo objects to be identified with the click of the mouse,
The team took advantage of 3d printing instant feedback and rapid prototyping to experiment with new shapes, printing speeds, battery technologies, cleaner burning fuels,
which uses a bidirectional wireless charger to direct energy to and from the car or house as needed.
The robot was designed by MIT Computer science and Artificial intelligence Lab (CSAIL and could eventually allow robots to not only pick up,
These points are configured using a clustering algorithm, allowing them gripper to identify the object in front of it
in order to enable the gripper to be usable for a variety of existing hardware bases, simply by swapping out the 3d printed interface.
and thus had to rely on the clustering algorithm to choose the appropriate strength and grasping method (enveloping grasp for larger items, pinching grasp for lightweight ones).
#This OLO box will turn your smartphone into a DLP 3d printer for just $99 The great majority of consumers today aren familiar with the processes behind 3d printing,
That right, our beloved smartphones, which follow us everywhere and replace an ever-increasing number of tools
the world first app-powered smartphone 3d printer, and are about to unleash accessible, affordable, and socially driven 3d printing on the world.
The OLO, for all intents and purposes, is powered a battery box (consisting of seven parts plus an engine) that fits on top of your Android, OS or Windows smartphone.
Users are simply to install the free OLO app, where they can upload, download, manage and share 3d designs,
put the box on their phones and hit rint. The device has a build volume of 7. 6 x 12.7 x 5 cm,
Because of the sharing-function of the app, the OLO is also being touted as the first ocial3d printer. he idea behind the development of OLO was to create a cheap 3d printer that anyone could easily use,
Despite more and more ser-friendly3d printers and 3d printing services hitting the market, the truth is that most people either do not understand the technology,
(or shall we say, all who already own smartphone). Priced at just $99 and with its free, easy-to-use app,
It an entry-level device for the curious, that might just get them excited enough to eventually upgrade to more complex 3d printer models and software.
and battery power source (standard AA 1. 5v that last for at least 100 printings), it is also ideal for anyone who is traveling
but users can print anything from functional replacement parts to art, like with normal 3d printers.
or other artistic models can be made for display or as gifts. Yet another advantage of resin 3d printing in comparison to FDM, for example, is that parts can be printed at full density in almost the same amount of time as hollow
3d printed objects directly from our smartphones? It turns out, it not as terrifyingly complicated as it seems.
However, in order to make full use of the smartphone exising features, the OLO simply replaces expensive lasers and projectors with the phone own LED display.
When you place your smartphone underneath the glass surface of the resin container, the app will make the screen light up in a pattern specific to the object you are printing.
As the directed light moves upward and hardens the resin, the object is built layer by layer,
resulting in high-resolution, durable prints. he big work wee done is to deploy the chemistry for a new resin that is capable of being cured not by UV LIGHT,
optimized for the OLO smartphone display light-source. In order to get the OLO on the market and into the hands of new or would-be makers,

and the design is open-source and freely available for anyone to download and print, anywhere in the world.
First, the patient, second the lens and third my smartphone. All three object should be lined up in the same axis
I wanted it to be universal (to fit all kinds of phones. The design was supposed to eliminate to variable factors (the phone
and the lens) making them into a single unit, so a hand is freed to secure the patient.
They explored the potential of making a device not just for any phone but for any lens as well.
An app was created also to back the hardware with an integrated software. It called the pthalmicdocs Eye Appand will be available for download from the Apple App store from May 22.
The app is multifunctional in that it provides a range of vision tests, has image acquisition capabilities,
is part of their efforts to develop smartphone based teleopthalmology systems that link physicians with patients,
His team is also working on developing a portable smartphone-based slit lamp microscope for imaging the anterior segment of the eye, with working similar to the Opthalmicdocs Fundus.
and the intentions of the growing community of professional 3d printing users and the scene looks bright.
In this sense, users once again showed less concern for less concrete possibilities such as enabling co-creation, increasing production flexibility,

The microfish were manufactured with microscale continuous optical printing (COP), an advanced, high-resolution form of 3d printing that was created in Chen laboratory.
The COP printer functions at a rapid pace, and is able to produce hundreds of their microfish within seconds of printing.
What makes this printer so efficient is its digital micromirroring array device chip (DMD), containing millions of micromirrors that function separately from one another to cast the desired microfish design onto photosensitive material,
which is solidified then once exposed to UV LIGHT. This advanced process results in these 3d printed microfish, able to swim naturally through liquids,
