Foldable Smartphone With Separate Dual-Screen Version From Samsung: Arriving Early 2017: So much patience have already been tested for the Samsung Lovers by showing up the teaser videos & building the roadmaps through social media. Concept design phones &  smartphones with flexible display panels have also been demonstrated to the public but now something real is going to happen with the so imaginary foldable design phone concept from Samsung. According to sources, the company is also working with some different hardware for the smartphone with a separate dual- screened version along with the foldable one.

Foldable Smartphone With Separate Dual-Screen From Samsung:

It is about to get featured with two flat panels side by side with a hinge in between. This dual-screened smartphone may appear at CES or MWC & will not be bent actually but instead, it would be hinged. Almost similar to a prototype that had been demoed by Japan Display it may be based on the same platform. The newcomer is probably to be manufactured & made available with having 3 orientations for display i.e. Folded Out with screens on the front & back, Folded in to protect the displays in transit, or laid out flat like for a tablet use.

In the current market still, Samsung is very much unknown & unpredictable with the current market demands for any type of such foldable designed smartphones. So as to gather public interest & make them aware of the technology & benefits of the foldable design of the phone & even the separate screen version add-on benefits, the primary focus has to be put on to introduce some of the features to the users in advance. Some of such examples may be the Galaxy Note edge or the Galaxy Round as precursors to the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Since market demands have to be studied, keeping in mind the first time introduction of such features in a smartphone, smaller amounts of these dual-screened smartphones will be produced first. After getting positive feedbacks, the company will decide to apply it to the two foldable designs too.

The company will also be deciding & will be proposing for such a suitable date of release for the phone by which the goal of its introduction with much higher level of perfections must be proved against the competitors of the device. As the company is now coming out with the new concept of Out-folded designs of smartphones which are probably seen as the next step in Foldable design smartphones.

Whenever an out-folded smartphone is folded, the OLED panels are placed on the front & the back. Panels also work at the part where it is bent & can be used as a tablet in the position when it is not folded. So finally we will be looking out for a differently designed smartphone in the markets with the tag name of Samsung very soon.

Microsoft Surface Sale Increase As MacBook Disappointed Customer: For the Microsoft, this holiday season was wonderful with respect to the sale of surface pro, to surface book, to the surface studio, and to surface Hub. According to blog post issued on Monday, windows maker said that “November was the best month ever  for consumer surface sale” and that  “more people are switching from Macs to the surface than ever before.

Disappointment With New MacBook Pro Help Rise In Surface Sale According To Microsoft:

Microsoft also quoted that, “the disappointment of the new MacBook pro – especially among professionals” move more people towards the surface. In a blog, post company said “it seems like a new review recommending surface over MacBook comes out daily. It makes our team proud as it means we are doing good work”.

After the good response in US and Canada, surface book with performance base is now also available in Australia  and New Zealand and company will introduce it in other markets too.

However, the company didn’t provide specific unit sales of surface PCs over the period in its post. According to the most recent PC sales data from analyst firm Gartner, said  Apple is the fifth biggest seller of PCs worldwide instead of its market share had declined significantly year-over-year. Meanwhile, Microsoft was not listed.

Microsoft may be calling the MacBook “ disappointment ” , but actually, everyone may not agree with them.

According to Phil Schiller Apple’s Marketing boss, as compared to  any other pro notebook before, the online sale of new MacBook pro were more.

iPhone 8 Will Feature Rear Touch Panel, OLED Display & On-Screen Touch ID: It may have curved screen, apple could remove the home button,  and to hide the TouchID sensor under the screen, apple could switch over  flexible OLED technology for display rather than LCD. Some of the new ideas on which Apple and other manufacturers are working available for the public through the USPTO’s regular release of patents. Touch sensors can be embedded around any side of iPhone 8 by using a technique, described in the Patent.

Rear Touch Panel, OLED Display & On-Screen Touch ID May Be The Feature Of Next iPhone:

Other physical buttons could also be removed and its function will be relying on these touch sensors. Apple may remove the current buttons and instead use touch enable areas on the smartphone for the existing UI. It may employ touch panel to use back of the device for fast scrolling or  page turning.

Before the Apple, Sony’s last handheld gaming console, the PlayStation Vita used the touch panel to use the back of the screen. So this concept of using the rear of the portable device is not new. It was used in so many games to change where character looked, used in driving games  used as flappy paddle gear and in many other games.

Apple is not the first who recognize the advantages given by back surface of a device. Many fingerprints readers and pulse reading sensors and notification LEDs the rear of the smartphone have been used. Some reports also suggested that apple could remove bezels from smartphone and introduce an edge to edge display.

So it won’t be wrong to say with curved edges and without buttons on the front, the use of the back of smartphone will be innovative. On the sides and rear of every smartphone, much more efforts will be made.

It is not guaranteed by the patent that technique will be in the next release of hardware. will be in the  next release of hardware. As with the addition of 3D Touch, the core functionality of already present iPhone and iPad has not affected , hopefully, the addition of Touch panel will prove great for the Apple. With all these new features the upcoming iPhone 8 could be the revolutionary smartphone for the Apple’s fan.

In the previous articles we have already taken you all in the depth technologies involved with the Virtual reality, now lets talk about the AR. So, what is the first thing that gets into your mind when the term Augmented Reality is said? Anything greater in size or any bigger thing or object that is visually seen through any device.

Augmented Reality: The Technology Behind:

Augmented Reality is a technology enriching the real world with digital information & media like 3D models & videos, overlaying in real time the camera view of your smartphone, PC & Connected Glasses. Augmented Reality turns the environment around us into a digital interface by placing virtual objects in the real world & in a real time.

The Definition:

AR is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented or supplemented by computer-generated sensory input. These inputs may be either Sound, Video, any type of graphics or any GPS data. More generally related concept called as mediated reality is close to the AR. In which the reality view is modified by a computer system. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time & in semantic context with environmental elements.

The Technology Behind AR:

The technology of AR functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. Basic hardware components that are included in an Augmented Reality are Processor, Display, Sensors & Some input devices as mentioned above also. Although now smartphones & tablets also contain these elements including a camera & MEMS sensors.

The display for an AR includes various technologies including Optical Projection Systems, Monitors, Hand Held Devices & Display systems that can be worn on our body. These devices that we can wear on our body include following:

• Head Mounted Display: It is a display that can be paired with a forehead like harness or helmet.
• Eyeglasses: These displays can be rendered on devices resembling eyeglasses.
• HUD: They can also be like a Headset computer or portable head-up displays showing data, images & information while a user views the real world.
• Contact Lenses: These are in development phase & may contain such elements for display.
• Virtual Retinal Display: A VRD is a personal Display device which is currently being developed in the University of Washington at Human Interface Technology Laboratory. In it, a display is canned directly onto the Edina of a viewer’s eye.
• Eye tap: It is also known by the name Generation 2 Glass that captures rays of light that would otherwise pass through the center of a lens of an eye of the wearer & substitutes synthetic computer controlled light for each ray of real light.
• Handheld: These displays employ a small display that fits in a user’s hand.
• Spatial: Spatial AR i.e. SAR augments real-world objects & scenes without the use of special displays like monitors, HMD’s or Handheld devices. It makes use of digital projectors to display graphical information onto the physical objects.

Tools Of Augmented Reality:

• Augmented Reality 3D Viewers: They allow the users to place life-sized 3D models in your environment with or without the use of trackers. These trackers are simple images that the 3D models can be attached to in the Augmented Reality.

• Augmented Reality Browsers: These browsers enrich our camera display with contextual information. Through this, you can simply point at some building or monument to display its history or estimated value.

• Augmented Gaming Experience: You can create immersive gaming experiences that utilize the actual local surroundings. We jus have to imagine like some shooting games with zombies walking in our own bedroom.

Future Of Augmented Reality:

As Augmented Reality has several applications in our day to day life it is going to become an integral part of our system. It was also first used for military, industrial & medical applications & its use got expanded into entertainment & other commercial industries by the year 2012. By the year 2016, some powerful mobile devices also allowed AR to become a useful learning Aid even in primary schools.
