Turn any surface into touch screen

Now you can convert your devices like mobile phone and TV in to touch screen ones a miracle technology from an interactive hardware company called DISPLAX.
                                           Displax skin is a paper thin, transparent and flexible film that transforms any non-metallic in to a interactive touch screen. The film uses projected capacitive technology and has a controller. It can be applied up to three meters across, and detect about 16 finger for a screen as large as 127 cm.
                                           Basically skin uses a grid of nano wires embedded with polymer film. Each time a user make contact with the surface, either by blowing on it or directly touching it, a small electrical disturbance is detected, allowing the microprocessor controller to pinpoint the movement or direction of the air flow.

ROBOT WITH EMOTIONS

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire have designed a robot that not only show human emotions but also develop them on its own. Nao imitates the social and emotional skills of a one-year old child; the humanoid machine looks down when its feel sad and raises its arms angling for a hug to express happiness.

Nao needs to know a person,study his body language and       

facial expression to detect his emotions.the more interaction

with someone,themore adept the robo at reading per son's 

mood.Nao makes use of video cameras to detect how a 

close a person comes and sensor to determine how people

are interacting with him and act accordingly.

The robot is part of felix growing--a EUROPEAN

project that  aims at creating comapnions who can

live with people and support them in daily activities.
