    First apps for Google Glass: porn and face detection with Google's ... - ABC Online

    Google cyber goggles long Glass is still not on the market, but U.S. developers already working meticulously on the first apps. Face Detection shopping, by voice and porn movies -. Ideas are limitless

    Siamak Ashrafi looks as if it were connected to the matrix. From the head of the man leads a thick black cable away. Everything he does is so transferred onto a large screen. Better said, All that the “Google Glass” glasses sees before his eyes. But maybe that’s soon anyway one and the same, one’s field of view and the.

    Google Ashrafi is one of the chosen testers around 2000 cyber goggles Google Glass. On a stage in San Francisco, he shows what the device can do. If the bioinformatics of Glass says, there are plenty of euphoric sets. “It’s like magic,” “it’s addictive”, it is “absolutely amazing”.


    Scores and breaking news

    “OK, Glass,” said Ashrafi and so enabled the glasses – basically just a wide frame with a glass cube on one side, on the display. Ashrafi could alternatively nod with his head, or the blue frame with a finger tap to wake them up. In the field of view appear so far only a few options: snap a photo, record video, route planning, e-mails. “How do you say hello in Japanese?” Asks Ashrafi. “Konichiwa,” replies the glasses and displays the word in front of his eyes and on the canvas

    . “Which is the tallest building in the world?” – A picture of the Burj Khalifa appears, standing next 830 meters. You can see the glasses even after the next Starbucks or a gas station to ask a colorful arrow in the eyes then points the way like in a video game. The voice control works surprisingly well. Only one returns the glasses instead of the translation into Chinese by mistake a movie review. The answers only hear the carrier, because the glasses sends signals via the acoustic vibrations to your ear

    idea. Glasses The hack

    But as impressive control of Glass is also: So far, there is little to control it, just five menu items to choose from. What Ashrafi therefore particularly fascinated by the spectacle is to hack and aufzuspielen own apps. Twitter was already reached by the glass, breaking news of the “New York Times” as well, would ever watch it. A developer has a program for the glasses wrote to shop speaking at Amazon, another tinkers an app to have on the golf course is always the current score in the eyes.

    div “Glassware” called Google these novel Eyeglasses applications. Your content is usually displayed on this black cards, the “Timeline” cards. With one touch the frame of the glasses you can sweep aside the cards left and right. There are “Glassagram”, a kind of Instagram for Glass, first image editing programs and games.

    After nearly six hour flight, three astronauts have reached the International Space Station. A Russian Soyuz capsule with the Italian Luca Parmitano, the Russians Fyodor Yurchikin and the US-American Karen Nyberg on board docked with the ISS early Wednesday morning. The reported NASA TV.

    The spacemen were a few hours earlier launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It was the second “Express flight” of a manned Soyuz – until recently the journey lasted almost two days. In about 410 kilometers above the astronauts to perform several experiments. Their return to Earth is planned for November.

    For Parmitano of the European Space Agency ESA, it is the first stay in space. His fellow travelers are already experienced Nyberg flew to the ISS for the second time, for Yurchikin it is already the fourth time

    With their arrival, the six-member ISS again reached the desired thickness. There, the Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Missurkin and U.S. astronaut Chris Cassidy are in use.

    the record with the Soyuz flights will

    possible by a so-called “Short Scheme”. This development of the Russians is possible because of the digital computer board now operates independently of the Flugleitzentrum in Korolev near Moscow. A constant radio contact with the ground station is no longer necessary. The quick flight had been tested with three different unmanned space freighters since August 2012.

    Now after the second flight of this species, the Russian space agency Roskosmos intends to examine all biological factors of the crew and then decide whether the quick flight to the standard is.

    Except Russia can currently get no state man into space and back again – and certainly not at this speed. But Roscosmos will continue to the stars: Finally, with the assistance of Russian technology and remote destinations like the moon – which has never stood a cosmonaut – and come within reach of Mars

    .

    To make it to there, Russia is now working closely with the European Space Agency ESA. The common-billion ExoMars project is to study the Red Planet for signs of things present or former life.

    Firefox OS: Keon, the first Firefox Smartphone - Times Online

    The mobile operating system Firefox OS is not just a toy for nerds, it might be the darling of the crowd. Because everyone can do what he wants.

    Keon smartphone OS with Firefox

    Keon smartphone OS with Firefox

    Mozilla has done with Firefox OS Large: The company, which develops the popular Firefox browser wants to rid the Mobile Web from the grip of large corporations with proprietary platforms. This sets in Mozilla Firefox OS on the Internet and the ideas that have made it successful.

    be sold before the first smartphones with Firefox OS, it will take a few months, but could the Spanish manufacturer Geeksphone few weeks ago and the first intended for developers with Firefox OS smartphones named Keon be ordered. Demand was high, the devices were accordingly sold out quickly. For Firefox OS can indeed try to current high-end smartphones, but it is explicitly run properly on low-cost hardware.

    display

    Firefox OS is fundamentally different from other mobile operating systems like iOS and Android, although it is based on the same Linux kernel as Android. This has the advantage that Mozilla Firefox and manufacturers of smart phones can use the same drivers as for Android.

    The big difference, however, in the surface of the operating system, which has far-reaching consequences: For Mozilla Firefox OS relies fully on weaving, so apps will be written for the system using HTML, CSS and Javascript. This Mozilla rid of proprietary APIs and relies on web standards. Where these are lacking, Mozilla driving under the W3C their development progress.

    Thus, any web app that runs in Firefox, be made with minimal effort an app for Firefox OS. Developers need to do is create a manifest file and customize the design of the app on the display size.

    The open approach is also reflected in the AppStore used, which is Mozilla Firefox Marketplace. As with other systems and applications can be found in a few clicks here. However, no one has to choose the path to the Firefox Marketplace. Each developer can offer its app itself directly to the download. And third parties may also operate app stores for Firefox OS. Unlike Apple and Google also partially so there is no instance in Firefox OS that decides which apps are allowed and which are not. As the Web every user can decide what content he wants to install on his device itself.

    Android and iOS Externally similar to

    The start screen of Firefox OS similar to that of Android or iOS, however, has in addition to the app index two additional screens. One of them is similar to the lock screen: it shows next to the existing on all sides of the home screen app bar, the time and date. So far, we have the sense of this screen can not recognize, but perhaps this will change in future versions of the operating system.

    The second additional screen the user will find, as he wipes the far left. Here is a search for the smartphone and the Internet. Except in the usual search engines and Wikipedia the term entered is wanted in many other portals and search pages. On the search term “San Francisco”, for example, follow links to Yahoo, TripAdvisor, MLB (baseball), Twitter, Google Maps, Foursquare, Flickr, and many other web services. These can be opened by pressing a button in the browser or saved as a shortcut in the app view.

    Using the search function can be found as Web services, for which the user did not know that they wanted to offer his term information. For some terms, such as cities Firefox OS also provides a suitable background in the search results – in the case of Berlin, a picture of the Brandenburg Gate

    Big Brother Microsoft: Data Protection Supervisor criticizes Xbox One - ABC Online

    gamblers the new Microsoft Xbox console One had been eagerly anticipated, but the initial euphoria is now personally tarnished by the Federal Data Protection Supervisor: The Xbox one is for him not a game, but a monitoring device

    Even if Microsoft wants to bring his new Xbox game console One in 2013 to market the whole of the Federal Data Protection Commissioner Peter Schaar feels more like after 1984 – at least after 1984, by George Orwell same in his book describes a totalitarian surveillance state. “Under the heading ‘Game Machine’ pushes Microsoft a monitoring device in the market,” Schaar said the magazine “Der Spiegel”.

    The Commissioner pointed out that the console “all sorts of personal information” sign such as reaction rates, learning and emotional states. “They are then processed on an external server, and possibly even passed on to third parties.”

    Whether the data would ever deleted, the person concerned could not affect, Schaar said. Fears that Microsoft could also listen to conversations using the console, but he held to be excessive. “The fact that Microsoft now spying on my living room is merely a twisted nightmare,” said the Commissioner.

    The console is equipped with a camera system to capture the spatial information and can recognize the faces of users. Microsoft plans for the console a deep integration into the consumer electronics equipment of its users – all devices from the TV receiver to the amplifier should be controlled via voice and gesture control console

    The Group will also use the device as a research tool: The Xbox One, says Microsoft executive Phil Spencer said “Mirror”, will ensure that “we know what the people employed. We can take a vote and feed their voice in the creative process. ” The company had introduced the new console last week. You should come at the end of the market.

    div

    few years ago it was still laughing about the giant bones they used to be called mobile phone. Then the devices shrink to Winzgröße. 2013 not understand many of the world: Huge smartphones flooding the market

    .

    And Huawei is still one better: The Ascend Mate is with a screen diagonal of 6.1 inches (15.5 centimeters) is the largest smartphone in the world. Whether that fits in your pocket? “Computer Bild” has taken the test.

    Who needs such a huge phone? And for what? As a table tennis racquet replacement? Yes, to the distress Frühstücksbrettchen As for the jam toast? Works well, but then the device is supposed in your pocket and not in the dishwasher.

    And now comes the surprise: Yes, Mate fits into almost any trouser and jacket pocket. Who’s in a tight jeans, but will have trouble sitting down. For this, the huge, clear screen displays web pages almost as clear as a notebook. And the Huawei is handier than a conventional tablet.


    processing – at a high level

    Lightly brushed, titanium-colored plastic frame, a rubber backing coupled with impeccable workmanship – Huawei does not splash out the largest smartphone in the world

    .

    Nice detail: Behind the speaker grille is a notification LED for new e-mails and phone calls hidden. Since the battery is not removable, cover flaps on the sides of both the SIM and the micro SD card.

    the largest smartphone in the world is also the fastest? In the demanding use at least no annoying delays. The performance is decent, it is at the level of a Samsung Galaxy S3. However, there’s to buy the Samsung Bestsellers quite some time. At the very latest flagships like the HTC one or Samsung Galaxy S4, the giant phone does not come close.

    Because processor and display need much energy is in the Ascend mate with a 4050 mAh battery, the current donor in the Samsung Galaxy S3 is just half the capacity. Rather stingy Huawei shows the memory. Of the puny 8GB remain just 4.56 GB left.

    So little else offer only 300 euro devices of the middle class, for the greatest phone in the world that’s clearly not enough. After all fit into the micro SD card slot up to 32 GB.


    camera – nothing to laugh

    At first glance, the 8 megapixel main camera and 1 MP resolution for the front camera enough, but the image quality disappointed. The sharpness filter ensures exaggerated strong edges, and despite the lack of sufficient resolution images in detail.

    The images appear faded and discolored, dark areas drown in large areas of black. As the photos are personal memories still acceptable, just for a brisk upload to Facebook. But a critical look at the PC screen shows the weaknesses clearly.

    Huawei mate has missed the redesigned user interface “Emotion UI”, it makes the access to the otherwise confusing Android. All the apps are split into up to nine Home screens – similar to the iPhone. Only that between the various apps and widgets with information about the weather or the calendar is visible.

    The keyboard has adapted Huawei, but unfortunately that brings in the daily work little tip: The auto-correction of words is no good. In most instances word suggestions absent. Who is most patient, the device can train yourself important words. Who wants to save the trouble should switch the keyboard on the conventional Google Android layout so that it works perfectly. And then shows the large keyboard to their strengths.

    Very good, however like the option to hide the toolbar at the bottom. Thus the user gains more space on the screen and not inadvertently activate the Home screen. The Ascend Mate is huge, shows average power and disappears easily into your pocket. Almost just like a normal phone. Just a bit bigger.

    Conclusion: Almost 16 centimeters finest screen technology is a hunk. Nevertheless, the material still fits in a pocket. The workmanship is good, and the performance by today’s standards appropriate.

    Only the camera disappointed. Because many entry-level smartphones snap better photos. But overall a great success for a large (pants) pocket.

    Specifications: 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU (Hi-Silicon K3V2), Android 4.1.2,2 GB RAM, 4.56 GB of usable memory, micro-SD slot, 6.1-inch display (1280 x 720), 8MP main camera back. Price: about 450 euros. Info: www.huaweidevices.de

If the number of users exceeded per the appropriate license, the content provider can take action to-price adjustment. In other words: The more people sit in front of the TV, the more expensive a film could be

Even though it is not clear whether Microsoft will actually bring in the patent application for the Xbox One, finally does not have to be implemented each protected idea.

    Kinect: First allegedly also user reactions.


    facial and emotion recognition


    more clarity to the use of the new Microsoft Kinect technology must also handle the user create data: The next-gen sensor is ultimately quite advanced: The cameras see from the facial expression of the user its mood. The Kinect knows which user has which controller in hand. If the user is attentive or distracted? Is he happy or sad? Eyes and mouth are open or closed, the player maintains with others? Microsoft wants to capture with the learned and improve future products as the reactions of gamers. That sounds like for example at new series productions after a promising approach – and the advertising industry would certainly not averse to count now actually see how many eyes a commercial
