Have you ever heard a camera that can see images that you can't see with your naked eyes.. booo..


No..no..no. its not horror..
This technology is called augmented reality, it show us informations that are saved in some places or some pictures.


In example, if you see this picture, it looks like the same with other pictures:



But if you see through a special camera, you can see another image like this:



or like this...



Even an animation contained in a picture like this..



Woooaa man, where I can get that stuff.?
It's not too hard to get something like that.. All you need is:


1. A Computer that has a good specification to design the animation or picture
2. A software to make an augmented reality
3. A printer to print the card
4. A camera to see the final result...

Virtual Keyboard : More Handy, More Easy

Technology competition between giant companies in practical computer assembly has become more tight. The market demands technology companies to create new gadgets that are more handy, efficient, and can be used anywhere. Today, we can find super mini laptop, windows mobile, or even high capacity flash disk with small size but more efficiency than its predecessor.

And now comes a computer pheriperal that can ensure market demands. It is the virtual keyboard. Just imagine, you don't need to bring old keyboards that is "so big" and hard to bring. Virtual keyboard is as big as a 600ml of mineral water bottle. Practical, isn't it? A keyboard the size of a bottle. :-)

Here's how it works :
1. The infra red laser will display the keyboard shape according to the refracted surface level.
2. Transparent infra red refraction will be projected into the virtual keyboard.
3. Typing that was generated by finger will generate keystrokes.
4. Infra red reflection will pass through the infra filter into camera.
5. Then the camera will takes pictures according to the captured infrared reflection.
6. The sensor's chip will fix the position of damaged infrared rays, then translate it into coordinates
7. Created characters will appear on the screen by using the coordinates that received wirelessly.

Beside the practicality, this virtual keyboard can also be connected and used for PDA, phone line, pc tablet, and other appliances.

Thanks to the technology, we don't need to bring ordinary keyboard everywhere.
