Future of Computing

With just a normal web cam and special “Podtech” software, you can turn any monitor into a gesture reading, touch-less display. Continue reading to watch a demonstration.

“Using topological depth technology, it figures out what’s the static background, and differentiates it between the changing foreground. By pinching areas within the camera’s view you section off ovals which you can use to rotate and move around the display, and the researcher said more gestures are being worked on”

Scientists have written a message into the DNA of a living organism, a breakthrough they believe could lead to a new era of organic computers capable of healing themselves if damaged. The researchers encoded Einstein’s most famous equation and most prolific year into the genome of one the hardiest strains of bacteria in the world, Bacillus subtilis. The characters “E=MC^2 1905!” were then read from the bacterium at a later date by analysing its genetic sequence.
