1. The Future of Computers By: Skyler Wynn

2. Where is the future of computers going to take us? Hands free More secure Easier to use

3. Areas of Emphasis Holographic Technologies i.Tech Virtual Keyboard E-Ball Holographic Storage Data Blu-Ray Biometrics Fingerprints Irises Surface Technologies Multi-Touch Microsoft Surface

4. i.Tech Virtual Keyboard Works with PDAs, Smartphones, PCs & laptops Bluetooth-enabled Projects holographic keyboard on flat surface

5. i.Tech Virtual Keyboard cont. Dimensions are 9 cm x 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm Ultra-portable with 120 min. continuous typing time Has added sound effects to make holographic keyboard feel as real as possible

6. E-Ball Created by ApostolTnokopvski Smallest PC ever made 160 mm round sphere

7. E-Ball cont. Components: i.Tech Virtual Keyboard Dual Core Processor 2 GB ram 250- 500 GB hardrive Integrated graphics and sound card HD- DVD recorder 2 x 50 watt speakers Wireless optical mouse LAN & WAN card Modem Web cam LCD projector Paper Holder Microsoft Windows

8. E-Ball cont.

9. Holographic Storage Data a technique that takes crystals or photopolymers and stores information inside them at a high density Included in most electronic devices Spatial Light Modulators can produce about 1000 different images a second at 1024 x 1024-bit resolution = 1 gigabit per second write speed

10. Holographic Storage Data: Blu-Ray 25 GB on single-layer disc 50 GB on dual-layer disc Uses blue-violet lasers to read and write data which has a shorter wavelength allowing more data to be pack more tightly in less space Supported by 200 of the world’s leading consumers in PCs, recording media, video games and music

11. Biometrics study of unchanging measurable biological characteristics that are unique to each individual Uses: verify a person’s identity allow or limit access to things such as computer documents access to certain areas of a building, and border crossings Two types: Fingerprints Irises

12. Biometrics: Fingerprints Used to identify person No two people have same fingerprints Used mainly in allowing or limiting access Contain ridges and valleys & a livescan device or reader reads or photographs the difference between the two By rolling or touching the finger onto a sensing area the fingerprint is captured with sensors technique in the works that allows fingerprints to be retrieved without leaving material that could be used in DNA analysis called SKP fingerprinting

13. Biometrics: Irises colored ring around the pupil of the no two irises are alike amount of light that enters the eye is regulated by this muscle software takes a picture of the iris and recreates picture into an encrypted digital image No contact or lighting Not effected by glasses or contacts can work from a couple cm to a few meters away

14. Surface Technologies Multi-touch Gives computer users & mobile devices the ability to interact and control a graphical user interface with one finger on either the application level or the system level Contains touch screen & software that recognizes multiple simultaneous touch points

15. Surface Technologies cont. Microsoft Surface Multi-touch Large, horizontal, 30 in. display monitor no keyboard or mouse; just grab and move interaction with digital content by responding to hand gestures and real-world objects; object recognition Multi-user experience; more than one person at a time can use Move info. Between devices Can use more than one thing on screen at a time

16. Conclusion Future of computers is steadily growing fast The size how, we use them, and there ease of use is changing Security is a lot better Video quality is better Storage is at a higher capacity
