PEN SORT INSTRUMENT
[attachment=28258]
ABSTRACT:
Miniaturized devices such as cameras and telephones are examples of now-common technologies that just a few years ago most of us rarely encountered outside the fictional world of thrillers. Miniaturized personal computers are the next logical step.
In the revolution of miniature computers in 2003 at ITU Telecom World exhibition held in Geneva, the Tokyo-based NEC Corporation displayed a conceptual prototype named as “PEN STYLE PERSONAL NETWORKING GADGET PACKAGE” or P-ISM. This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. . This "pen sort of instrument" produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.
INTRODUCTION
It seems too many of us these days that the pace of technological change is so great that it outstrips our imaginations – just as soon as we can conceive of the next nifty electronic gadget we had like to have, we find out that somebody has already built it.
Miniaturized devices such as cameras and telephones are examples of now-common technologies that just a few years ago most of us rarely encountered outside the fictional world of thrillers. Miniaturized personal computers are the next logical step, but many readers might be surprised to learn that a plan for pc components housed in device the size and shape of ballpoint pens (as shown above) was showcased by a major electronics company over two years ago.
PEN SORT INSTRUMENT:
At the 2003 ITU Telecom World exhibition held in Geneva, the Tokyo-based NEC Corporation displayed a conceptual prototype of what they dubbed a “pen-style personal networking gadget package,” or P-ISM.
The P-ISM system was based on “low-cost electronic perception technology” produced by the San Jose, California, firm of Canasta, developers of technologies such as the “virtual keyboard”.
We’ve dubbed this item “partly true” because, as far as we know, no functional prototype of P-ISM system was built or displayed. The items shown in these pictures were more on the level of props created to show off a concept for something that might be built.
P-ISM:
It seems that information terminals are infinitely getting smaller. However, we will continue to manipulate them with our hands for now.We have visualized the connection between the latest technology and the human, in a form of a pen. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also
In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have made great developments with Bluetooth technology. This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalistic pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing
This "pen sort of instrument" produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.
Working of Virtual keyboard:
Canesta Inc. will demonstrate a working model of its "virtual keyboard" today, and said the technology will be rolled out by PDA manufacturers early next year. Canesta first disclosed its "electronic perception technology" in March, and identified the virtual keyboard as one aspect of the technology.
Canesta's technology can identify finger movements precisely enough that the device can measure a hand's typing movement. The sensor scans space 30 times per second at more than one angle, thus allowing the sensor to distinguish a "y" from an "h", two keys on a QWERTY keyboard that are almost vertically aligned.
The pattern projector can be set up any way that an OEM wants, Spare said, although the device's default calibration projects an image at about 30 centimeters and a 50-degree angle. Canesta etches the pattern into the lens itself; the device projects the image using diffractive optics. At a 121.5 mm focal distance, the keyboard's image measures about 278 mm by 98 mm, Spare said.
"It's different than a mechanical keyboard," Spare said. "People that hunt and peck, they do extremely well. Those people look at a key and press it. Touch typists have to learn the new feel of typing on a flat surface." The chipset can also be programmed to signal an audible "click" sound when a key is pressed.
