2. What Is A Gadget??
“A gadget is a small technological
device or object that has a
specific function.”
In simple words,'gadget' could be defined as a
new,
unusual device, mostly used for entertainment; yet
also for household and security.
3. Classification of Gadgets
There are a few main categories, which can unite gadgets having the same
characteristic features.
1.The USB-based Gadgets
The USB enables the users attaching various devices to their computer
without having to shut it down or reboot.
Additionally, the power usage of USB-based gadgets is very low.
Developing and afterwards manufacturing USB-based devices has become a
priority for many companies
4. 2 . The Family of iPod Gadgets
• able to store up to 60 GB of music or
other media files.
•small anti-pick-pocket locks with codes, to prevent your
iPod from being stolen.
3. Spy gadgets
•very small but very functional at the same time.
•They have combined a voice recorder with a pen
•created button cameras, tracking devices and many other gadgets to
help people reveal somebody's secrets.
5. Just because the technology has become so developed that they
can now fit a mini computer into a usual watch.
Built in calculators, calendars, timers, alarms, stopwatch,
Bluetooth technology, walkie-talkie , have equalizers built in, pictures
music and video storing and playing functions and some with built in
flash drives.
6. 5.Cell phone gadgets
•There are many gadgets that can be connected to your cell phone
from car charger to a hands free device.
•The Bluetooth technology and there are watches, hands free
accessories and other cell phones compatible with this technology.
6.Health Gadgets-
This class of gadget has been created not to entertain but to help
people.
•For example: Home thermometers, infrared thermometers that can
tell your temperature in seconds and other diagnostic gadgets, blood
pressure, sugar level, temperature etc.
9. 3Doodler is the world’s first and only 3D Printing Pen.
3Doodler draws in the air or on surfaces.
It utilizes plastic thread made of either acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene ("ABS") or polylactic acid ("PLA") that is
melted and then cooled through a patented process while
moving through the pen, which can then be used to make 3D
objects by hand.
10. The 3Doodler is a 3D printing pen developed by Peter
Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue of WobbleWorks LLC.
3Doodler began funding in February 2013 on the crowd
funding platform Kickstarter.
21. As the skin taps on the skin; acoustic energies are
formed.
Two forms of the waves are formed:
1. Transverse.
2. Longitudinal.
22.
23.
24. An acoustic detector to detect sound vibrations.
It uses a microchip-sized pico projector to
display menu.
It needs bluetooth connection.
25. The projected interface can appear much larger
than it ever could on a device’s screen.
Arm can be brought closer to face (or vise versa )
to see the display close up.
colour contrast can be adjusted by dimming the
light so that a better picture will be visible if skin
and the text are too similar in color during daylight.
26. It is a vehicle which can drive itself from one
point to another without assistance from a
driver; in other words with an autopilot system.
It is capable of fulfilling the human
transportation capabilities of a traditional car.
It is capable of sensing its environment and
navigation on its own.
The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but:
It can steer itself while looking out for
obstacles.
It can accelerate itself to the correct speed
limit.
It can stop and go itself based on any traffic
condition.
27. The project is currently being
led by: Sebastian Thrun
Director of the Stanford
Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory.
The Google Driverless Car is a
project by Google that involves
technology for driverless car.
28. The person who is sitting inside the car can just have to give
the name of the place where he/she wants to go.
Autonomous car uses radar , lidar, GPS and computer vision.
Advance control system interprets the information to identify
appropriate navigation paths as well as obstacles and
relevant signage.
COMPONENTS:- Integrates Google Map with various
hardware sensors and artificial intelligence software.
:
Google Maps
Provides the car with road information
Hardware Sensors
Provides the car with real time environment conditions
Artificial Intelligence
Provides the car with real time decisions
29. GOOGLE MAP
Google Map interacts with GPS
and acts like a database.
Speed Limits.
Upcoming
intersections.
Traffic Report.
Nearby collisions.
Directions.
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
Google Maps and the hardware
sensors data are sent to the AI.
AI then determines:
=> how fast to accelerate
=> when to slow down/stop
=> when to steer the wheel
Goal of AI
The agent's goal is to take the
passenger to its desired
destination safely and legally
30. ⇒The hardware sensors gives real time
environmental properties. Environment is dynamic so need
real time results. Sensors attempt to create fully observable
environment.
=> LIDAR
=> VIDEO CAMERA
=> POSITION ESTIMATOR
=> DISTANCE SENSOR
31. Advantages Disadvantages
=>Managing traffic flow
to increase road
capacity.
=>Relieving vehicle
occupants from driving
allowing them to
concentrate on other
tasks or to rest during
their journeys
=>The current location of
a vehicle can be
determine through GPS.
=>Increasing road
capacity by reducing the
=>If the vehicle is using
internet having less
security then from the
hackers point of view in
some cases the vehicle can
be switched off on the
roads(rare cases).
Hackers can change the
route which is plotted on
the system.
=>In case of failure of main
sensor and backup sensors
, the vehicle can create a
chance of accident.
Expensive software &
32. So, these were some of the most popular
gadgets of 2014, but there is always scope for
improvement …
