how the future could apparently look like

[bloodmack]

looks pretty boring.. hopefully ill be dead by then.

[asian_XL]

non sense, everything will be apple or android

[Zyzz]

I hate how every "future visions" videos I have seen overwhelm us with glass displays and touch screen. I seriously don't need a piece of glass device spamming every kind of information that I don't need in every wall of my house.

almost all of those glass devices won't even work properly because there is no room to place the capacitance, microcontrollers, and transistors. So much bull crap that are only believable to people with non-engineering degrees. Also rofl at a piece of glass phone. The only feasible device is probably the 3-D monitor used by the guy in the office.

[Leopold Stotch]

i think that would take some time to get used to that, that's a lot of information shown at once, none of which looked too generic to be for wide usage by people.

[tiger_handheld]

in 1987 people thought we'd be living like the jetsons in 2007. are we?

[FerrariEnzo]

LMAO... i wonder how many times their programs failed or windows crashing on them while make this video!

[Gary Oak]

in the future everything will have a screen on it :suspicious:

[rsx]

Why am I watching people work? wtf. Terrible video. I hate it.

Nope. Doable. You'll get pretty close even with present day technology.

Also I mean this in the nicest possible way but from your post you definitely don't have an engineering degree =p

+1 to this.
I lol'd at the guy playing the guitar's image at the subway station. Isn't the whole point to play LIVE in front of an audience?

[2damaxmr2]

No more blue screen of death? :p

....right..... care to enlighten us how you would design such a device? Nice post with zero source or ideas backing. Useless.

[!YaoShi]

I see the accountant in Batman Dark Knight. LOL.

The transparent display is easy enough, Samsung's even got AMOLED ones. Google it.

Offload the processing to a remote source. Stream your touch input data out through a wireless uplink while you stream the display data in.

For power - again, think wireless. Look up resonant inductive coupling. There was group out of UBC that got it up to 82% efficient using a 4-coil inductive link for a biomedical application. So run a receiver coil around the edge of the device.

So now you're left with requirements for an RF transceiver, the display controller, and the touchpanel controller. At my work we put SoC's on our boards with dual core MPU's, display controllers, camera controllers, memory controller, DSP's, comms processor etc, + the LPDDR2 memory packed into a 12x12mm package footprint. Qualcomm manages to pack an additional WLAN/GPS/BT into their SoC's at about the same footprint. So how big do you think a chip with just an RF transceiver, display and touchpanel controllers, and a couple on-die LDO's, inductors and caps needs to be? 3x3mm I'd say.

So. Grab some Gorilla Glass. Sandwich the display and the capacitive touchpanel between. Run the power coil around the edge. Put the SoC in the corner. Frost the edges of the glass.

Done.

in for the future porn

[RenoMan]

future would suck if you had no arms

[TRD Rs200]

that's if we pass 2012

[Gridlock]

This from the folks who's current tab computers are twice the cost of the ipad, weigh more and are not intuitive.

From a company that has been in the mobile phone market for years, and has barely made a dent.

Who's search engine is pretty, but no one really uses unless they don't change the default options.

No one cares about windows anymore. It's alright, no one cares about OSX either, but its not Apple's bread and butter anymore.

see through fridges? WHY CAN'T WE FUCKING HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW ROFL


brb patenting some shit

[Geoc]

Microsoft pulling that kind of technology off? :fuckthatshit:



Microsoft implementing something that is seamless and not clunky? :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit: :fuckthatshit:

You know, for years we've seen things that make the fridge the internet hub of the kitchen.

Wow! seemless inventory of the fridge contents! An internet enabled white board for messages!

This: LG APPLIANCES : INTERNET REFRIGERATOR (http://us.lge.com/www/product/refrigerator_demo.html)

You know what? I want my fridge to keep my food cold. End of story.

^ this...

this consumer processor war is about to end soon once all our network (mobile and terrestrial) speeds catch up and everything is processed off site.

[jackmeister]

everything is a very thin, no-bezel version of an iPad, iPod Touch, or an iPhone w/ amazing net speed.

doesn't seem like its that far off in the future.

[trip]

seems cool now.. wait until everything red rings or blue screens on you

Yes, but right here, right now, do we predict that Microsoft will be the brand on these great products?

Will they even make the software that runs someone else's great hardware?

[RabidRat]

See that's what I don't get.

Look at the kinda people Microsoft hires. People who graduate at the top of their class, with Masters or PhD degrees in Computer Science and Engineering, people who repeatedly win coding competitions and lead software development teams in their spare time. And even then, probably only after they've gotten 5-15 years' of industry experience with proven project wins under their belt, working for only the most successful top companies.

So how the fuck is it that they have only hired the best of the best, and yet Microsoft software is among the most unreliable, unoriginal, unusable shit we've ever seen.. and they've had 15 years to work at it?!

What the fuck is going on in there??

edit: 25 years!

brb patenting some shit

We can.

Seriously we can have almost anything these days. It's just whether anyone's willing to pay for it.

That and everything's locked down with patents. If you think of something you can bet some other fucker's already patented it years ago. But it'll never see the light of day because 99% of the time, people have no intention of following through. They just want to see if they can troll the corporations for some licensing money.

[Bonjour43MA]

Typical Microsoft - selling software/hardware that are too complicated and filled with useful but unsorted information, made by software/hardware engineers that are too out of touch with "everyday joe", and sold to people as solutions to problems that don't really exist.

These are the same idiot everyday joes that believe in those antivirus scams. "Problems that don't exist" is more of an apple problem. They deny your computer was infected with a virus if you bring it in.

That's an interactive advertisement. Meaning that ads in the subway (or wherever), can interact with your mobile device that allows you to purchase their products directly; rather than say... going to a ticket vendor (ie. Ticketmaster) and navigating through lists of events to find the event you're searching. Basically, its just streamlining our current conveniences even further.

needs more live tiles and zune connectivity

that would save so much energy just from me not having to open the fridge to see whats inside it while letting all the cold out

[SpicyToFu]

This tech just looks like a more convenient way of doing things we can already do

Where are those damn jetpacks I was hoping to see in the future? and not those big chunky ones we have now that lasts for 2 seconds

Remember this:
Nokia Morph Concept (long) - release date 2020 - YouTube
We are only 9 years away! That thing charges itself and senses chemicals in the air, like having a pocket sized blood hound that speaks english...I have a feeling I would be dissappointed again though

At least I know for certain my collection of cuban cigars will prove its worth with more years of aging

[StylinRed]

^^^ there's already a demo unit

Nokia Morph becoming a reality - Nokia Future Experiences - YouTube


and samsung is coming out with their own too
