In the world where everything is connected and networked , WiFi has played a pioneering role in redefining the scope of reach ability and networking. No matter where you are, you are always connected, be it Internet or your own LAN. Sharing, uploading , downloading data at several Mbps. But what if you can achieve all this and much more at 100 times faster rate. YES 100! That 's exactly what Lifi is. Still in its developing stage, Lifi is a more efficient, faster, possibly more secure version of existing WiFi technology. Tested successfully by company called Velmenni where the results recorded show that the data was transferred at average of 1 Gbps! 100 times more than WiFi. In lab tests, the fastest recorded speed was a unbelievable 224 Gbps !! Lifi is a subset of OCW (optical wireless communications) and is a complement to RF technology. Put forth by Prof. Harold Haas, Lifi is entirely dependent on light. In simplest terms, it uses light to transfer data  rather than...

When you surf the net, every now and then you stumble upon something that just mesmerizes you to the point where you begin to feel its unreal. Well something like this happens when you get to know what Google's ATAP(Advanced Technology And Projects) has been planning recently in field of Gesture control, Project Soli. It is Google's Radar based gesture control technology, that can in a very literal sense, control anything mechanical. At a time when most of the gesture controls can be termed inaccurate or unreliable.(In some cases even sloppy). Google has come up with an enticing example of how powerful Gesture control can actually be. At the very basic level, motion controller were brought to existence to make user interfaces more interesting and intuitive, and open new windows of opportunities for designers and developers. Small segment of Project Soli demo video To which the ATAP team took a pretty unique approach with this technology. Instead of using a camera ...

Virtual Reality is one of the trending topics in latest technologies. For those who don't have any idea about VR(Virtual Reality) , Google Glass is a rough example. And for those who don't have any idea about Google Glass or Google Cardboard, well, read on. This article will give readers just a basic idea about the technology, which is going to change the whole world in the coming future. So, what comes to your mind when you hear the word Virtual Reality ? Is it a movie scene of Tron:Legacy, The Matrix, Inception, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over or Ra.One ? Or is it a person wearing a big rectangular box on his eyes ? Or is it Tom Cruise doing this  --> For a rough idea, imagine yourself playing a computer game, but without a mouse or a keyboard. Here, you are into the game-world as the player, and when you move your head around, you can actually see what's around you.When someone comes to attack you, you defend and in turn kick his ass. Probably that's enou...

Continuing my quest to find more humane technologies I ended up with the "bluetooth shoes".We know for a fact that more than  285 million people across the globe suffer from some kind of visual impairment. Yet the tools to assist the blind in walking have changed little since the 1920's, when their canes started being painted white to make other pedestrians more aware of their presence. The gizmos that do exist have tended to be expensive and clunky, and have not caught on. This may change if Anirudh Sharma, a 24-year-old computer engineer from Hyderabad, a city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, has his way. His innovation, dubbed “Le Chal” ("take me along" in Hindi) pairs a smartphone app with a small actuator sewn inside the sole of one shoe via Bluetooth. The user tells the phone his desired destination, which is translated into electronic commands using voice-recognition software. The app, which can be programmed to run in the background, fetches ...

In this age of technology, it is suffice to say humans can achieve almost anything. We have in fact superseded our own expectations. Every now and then we hear about new inventions that we think are unbelievable. As a tech enthusiast I often surf the net to keep myself updated. Often what I find is that our research and development gets too one dimensional. Particularly, a field which I feel the world is too obsessed with is arms and defense. Study shows about 1.2 trillion dollars of money is invested in this field every year in comparison to a mere 100 million on Research and Development . In a world where millions of people suffer from various impairment every year, I was shocked to see this huge disproportion , So I decided to dig a little deep and find what have we actually done to make human life better rather than threatening it with nuclear bombs . While doing so, something that got my attention was the prosthetic technology of "bionic eyes".           ...
