THE NEW PREDICTIVE TEXT SOFTWARE FOR MOBILE USERS-'SWYPE'
Few years back, typing out a simple word “india” on most cellphones required an exhausting 11 taps on the number keys, like so: 444-66-3-444-2.
Now this kind of tapping out a text message could become a past due to new 'Swype' technology.
Nowadays more phones are using virtual keyboards on a touch screen by replacing physical buttons.
The predictive text software T9 has been previously invented by Mr Kushler, which guesses the word people are thinking of as they text, and 'Swype' is the next step.
Instead of pressing individual letters, mobile users can just drag their finger from one letter to the other in a faster motion.It allows users to move a finger effortlessly across the virtual keyboard to spell words, rather than tapping out each letter.
The result is that the device calculates the intended word at a faster speed than it could be typed out.The computer then calculates which word was intended by the combination of the letters touched upon.
The movements do not even have to be precise because the software can work it out.Swype’s software detects where a finger pauses and changes direction as it traces out the pattern of a word.
The movements do not have to be exact because the software calculates which words a user is most likely trying to spell.In Swype demonstrations, hurdles like capitals and double letters are overcome by pausing or doing a squiggle, while spacing and punctuation are automatic.
Swype is now being used on seven smartphones in the United States, across all major wireless carriers, including the HTC HD2 and the Samsung Omnia II.
By the end of the year, the software will be on more than 50 models worldwide, said by the company.It is tinkering with software for the iPhone and the iPad and hopes to show it to Apple soon.
To make money, Swype charges phone makers a licensing fee for each device sold. It also sees opportunity in add-ons.

NEW GLASSES-FREE 3-D DISPLAY TELEVISION
Dear readers, a 2-D television may not be a new thing for us. But obviously, a 3D television may be new. Now Microsoft's Applied Science Group has demonstrated a new type of lens to be used in television screens, which allows viewers to see images in 3D without the need to wear special glasses.i.e., glasses-free 3-D displays.
The lens, thinner at the bottom than at the top, steers light to a viewer's eyes by switching light-emitting diodes along its bottom edge on and off. Since the lens is thin, it can be incorporated into a standard liquid crystal display (LCD), replacing the traditional backlight; light from the lens shines through the liquid crystals to project the images to viewers. The 3D display uses a camera to track viewers so that it knows where to steer the light; the idea isn't new, but the required CPU power is now affordable and small enough to pull it off on a large scale. The design of Microsoft's wedge lens bypasses this problem, as the light is traveling within the lens and not in the air (the focal point is thus the flat surface of the wedge), minimizing the distance between the projector and the screen. The LEDs control the position and angle of the light as it enters the bottom edge of the lens and, as a result, the direction the light comes out. The viewer-tracking cameras, meanwhile, collect light traveling the other way through the lens. The system's viewing angle is about 20°, but Microsoft hopes to tweak the lens design and increase it to 40°. That would be an improvement, but 40° still isn't that hot. Picture quality is limited by the screen's refresh rate, and so Microsoft is pushing display manufacturers to make faster LCDs. Separately, the company is looking into how the lens can be used as the backlight of a laptop that can project images to either one person or to multiple people. Coupled with a backlight, this makes it possible to present different images to different viewers, or to create a stereoscopic (3-D) effect by showing different images to a person's left and right eye. Microsoft's prototype display can deliver 3-D video to two viewers at the same time (one video for each individual eye), regardless of where they are positioned. It can also show ordinary 2-D video to up to four people at the same time (one video for each person). The 3-D display uses a camera to track viewers which enables it to steer light toward them. Microsoft's wedge lens is about 11 millimeters thick at its top, tapering down to about six millimeters at the bottom. A traditional lens in a projector sits between a point of light and its focal point - the spot where the light is focused. This is why viewer-tracking 3-D systems are usually so bulky. |
GOOGLE'S UPCOMING CHROME OPERATING SYSTEM- CHROMOTING
Google's upcoming Chrome operating system is a new OS that will arrive on netbook computers later this year. It is unofficially named as chromoting which can be defined as remotely accessing your PC applications via the browser or it's a remote desktop app for your new cloud computer.
Eventhough the Chrome OS will not only be great platform for running modern web apps, but will also enable you to access legacy PC applications right within the browser. Legacy means any application that doesn't run in a Web browser, like Google Chrome, which is the basis of the new Internet-only operating system, also called Chrome.
Since you can’t install PC software onto Chrome OS, many of the off-the-shelf programs won’t be compatible with the platform. Chrome OS will let you access applications running on your existing Windows, Linux, or Mac desktop.
An open source operating system, Chrome is based on the Chrome browser, which is designed to work exclusively with Web applications. Google estimates that more than 70 million people use the Chrome browser, according to a TMCnet report.
It includes the Adobe Creative Suite, perhaps, whose flagship program Photoshop is top among designers. A big concern with Google’s Chrome OS has been around its compatibility with software from other platforms. Google’s biggest selling point with Chrome OS lies with its reliance on cloud computing.
The most popular theory on the Web is that Chromoting will work like a sharing functionality. This would mean that a user would have to have a Windows-based computer online. A better solution would have been if Google could offer a cloud based option, where users could install these legacy PC apps onto cloud servers at a cost.
