Some of the things that was exhibited in the preamble that is how the technology into various tools that we use everyday. Intel, for example, developed a camera that allows the processor to the camera is connected to the internet and data centers.
The camera can be used to identify the location of a person. Users living photographing buildings or landmark in the vicinity and the computer will match the image with other images stored in the data center.
From there, users will send data about the location where he is, including the coordinates and what lies beyond. Data taken from the images on Google and Wikipedia.
Another interesting technology is how a video camera can recognize human movement and change someone’s hand to be trackers. With this technology, one can control the computer without having to touch it. Simply move your hand and body, then the various commands on a computer screen can be executed. This technology is similar to the way people use the iPad, it’s just that the user does not need to touch the screen. He looked like the technology in future films.
Through a variety of future technologies, the future tagline “Intel Inside” may not only apply to computers, but also on various other items.
Kinect had been Target of Hackers

Kinect, the aids tools for the Xbox 360 gaming console is not only to attract consumers’ attention. Hackers around the world, even being have big passion to tamper with a new toy made by Microsoft’s.
Technology carried Kinect indeed recognized its superiority. How could I not, with this device people can play games without a joystick and stay moving his limbs like in the movie Minority Report. Unfortunately, Kinect only designed to work on the XBox 360. This is what makes the hackers are interested in reverse for Kinect can be used in other devices without being limited platform.Even a company in New York, Ad fruit Industries offered a reward of 3000 dollars for the first time anyone could make open source drivers for Kinect for free use for anything. Hector Martin of Spain successfully meets these challenges, the six days since launched 4 November 2010 Kinect ago.
Martin successfully demonstrated the use of Kinect on his laptop. He recorded video during Kinect used to record VGA quality and the camera as his hand moved closer to the line formed by the color changes from green to red. Uniquely, Martin did not have XBox 360. Ad fruit have confirmed the code that made Martin.
AlexP of CodeLab and NUI Group was first demonstrated Kinect driver for use on Windows 7. However, hackers are hoping more by going to donate up to 10,000 U.S. dollars so do not get the prize Ad fruit. In fact, he can only 457 U.S. dollars which is then donated to Martin to continue the full open source project Kinect.
The presence of drivers for Kinect which is open source is allowing developers and customers to utilize these devices more choice. Oliver Kreylos from the University of California, Davis, the U.S. already use it to record video in the format of three-dimensional (3D) with Kinect from his laptop. Kinect even reportedly had been able to work on Mac OSX notebook premises.
Responding to the action of these hackers, Microsoft spokesman was quoted as CNET stated that all forms of artificial modification of the device is not recommended because the use of hardware and software components have been designed for these devices to work stable. Microsoft will attempt to terse increase the stability function and prevent misuse by parties other homemade devices.
Although resistance emerged from Microsoft, in fact the device sells. In 10 days, has sold one million units and is predicted to sell up to 5 million units by the end of the year. Come to think, to repeat the success Kinect like Windows software yes. Many hijacked and still sell.
