up coming changes to the facebook.


Get ready for more big changes to Facebook.
















The social media company announced several new products and features that will launch on its platform soon.all are designed to make it easier for you to communicate with people and businesses.Also to save your time with your works.

1. Spherical videos on your News Feed and Oculus VR headset (if you have one).

 Facebook will soon support videos shot with 360-degree camera technology (the same way Google Maps' Street View photos are captured). These videos allow you to change the perspective you see by clicking and dragging on the screen
.

2. Track your online purchases and communicate with businesses within Messenger.















Facebook's standalone messaging app will soon be integrated into e-commerce sites. future, when you make a purchase online, you can choose to connect your Facebook account so that companies can send you notifications about what you bought directly in the Messenger app.
If you hate getting multiple emails that confirm your order, tell you when your order has been shipped, and if your returns have been received, you might be happy with this update.

3. Reply to messages using other apps. 















You can now open third party apps like animated GIF-creator Giphy within the Messenger app to send a message. Previously, you'd have to close the app, open Giphy, create a GIF, and then copy it into a message.
Messenger also now allows compatible third-parties to prompt people to download their apps directly through the Messenger platform.

4. Videos you post on Facebook can be embedded elsewhere online. 

Previously, if you uploaded a video to Facebook, you could only share the video by linking to it. This is another attempt to make it more attractive for people to upload their videos on Facebook instead of YouTube.

5. If you comment on a story somewhere else online, it will show up on Facebook too.















 Next time you want to say something about an article you read, remember that it will soon show up automatically under the story posted to Facebook. This change is intended to make it easier for media companies to gain more engagement with their content.
Facebook connect partners BuzzFeed, EliteDaily, The Huffington Post, and Fox Sports are among the first media companies to test this update.

6. Get ready to control more devices with your Facebook account. 

The company announced new ways for its developers to build programs that can control everything from your garage door to your self-watering plant. It's Facebook's way of getting into the world of IoT, or the Internet of Things.
It's not clear yet how Facebook will integrate with IoT devices.

7. Developers will get analytics for their apps.

 The free dashboard will let developers see who is interacting with their apps and where they're coming from. across all devices.

Microsoft reveals hololens



microsoft finally does something interest















One of the latest innovations to come out of the Microsoft stable is the Microsoft Headset.It smart HoloLens from the appearance. Following a growing trend in the technological world, the company has decided to go deeper into augmented reality and has announced its own entry into the VR and AR Headset space, which is called HoloLens.

The HoloLens marks a major leap forward in the field of virtual reality. It puts one at the center of a world that blends holograms with reality. With the ability to design and shape holograms, one shall have a new medium to express his creativity, a more efficient way to teach and learn, and a more effective way to visualize work and share ideas. Also easy to use




Today Alex Kipman, technical fellow for the operating system group at Microsoft, introduced a new product called Windows Holographic. Microsoft HoloLens is equipped with see-through lens enabling the users to see holographic projections in a real-world setting. It doesn't need a PC connection or phone to operate and is also wireless, meaning users can move and interact untethered in the world around them as they simultaneously view and interact with projections. The headset features spatial sound, so even holographs behind users can be heard. In fact besides a CPU and a GPU it includes a third processor that has been invented by Microsoft and has been coined the ' Holographic Processing units.

"Holographic computing enabled by widows 10 is here. Windows Holographic is designed to build the digital world into the users ' real worlds delivering new ways to work, game and interact with people and objects around them. To create Project HoloLens ' images, light particles bounce around millions of times in the so-called light engine of the device. Then the photons enter the goggles ' two lenses, where they ricochet between layers of blue, green and red glass before they reach the back of your eye. When you get the light to be at the exact angle, that's where all the magic comes in.















Holographic Skype, Minecraft and a NASA Mars walking application are also on demo at Microsoft's windows 10 event in Redmond, a tasting menu of what's to come with HoloLens.
The company said that the final version of the HoloLens headset would not need to be linked to other devices to work, also be released within Windows 10 's "timeframe".
The product, of course, is comparable to google's glass project, the oculus headset, the Sulon Cortex and other similar projects. Microsoft's effort seems to combine the best of these technologies for a more convincing holographic experience. If it is implemented efficiently Microsoft will definitely lead the mobile market to usher into a new era of augmented reality.

Wearable drones concepts

Wearable drones may be buzzing on the horizon. As drones become increasingly sophisticated, they will soon take on the roles currently performed by smart phones, tech futurist and designer Adam Pruden argued in a talk at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival on Saturday (March 14 2015). The future may hold wearable drones that interact with users, other people and objects in public space; as the skies fill with drones, they may even get their own superhighways and charging stations to go long distances, he speculated. Pruden and industrial designers at the firm frog tried to envision how these wearable flyers would work, and came up with conceptual designs for four different wearable drones. because of these things future works may be very easy.
you can get some idea about wearable drones from following picture.


wearable drones are used in many applications.

Breath
















The Breathe is a small plastic drone that sits on the shoulder when not in use. The plastic lung is constantly sensing pollution levels in the immediate vicinity, with air filtering in thanks to a small propeller hidden in the base.

Air filter



When levels of pollution get too high, the propeller launches the drone into the sky, where it flits in front of the user's face and filters pollution form the air that they breathe.


Flying umbrella



















The drone is filled with humidity and temperature sensors that can detect exactly when the weather takes a turn for the worse. If ultraviolet radiation levels get too high or rain is on the way, the drone's propellers launch it upwards and form a large disk that constantly adjusts its position to protect the user from the environment.

playmate

When a user launches the scout, the propellers expand and the scout can climb up a sheer rock wall, identifying a climbing route that is the perfect challenge for the climber's skill.

Tour guide



















When the user wants to find something, such as a good ice cream shop, he or she simply gives verbal commands, and flicks their wrist to deploy the drone. The drone flies up to scout the environment and hovers a several feet in front of its owner, guiding the person through a city. 

Drone cameras

when user want to get a selfie, the drone fly around you, to take a photo.
watch how camera worksother than these uses this kind of drones are used in many applications.

Self driving car concept

The Mercedes-Benze F015 Luxury in motion



The Mercedes Benz F015  will be the car of the future. The car that doesn't need to be driven. And the most fascinating thing about this concept car is that it is already on the roads, having secured permits to drive in the US state of Nevada.


Germany’s famous car manufacturing company DAILMER-AG wants to re-set consumer’s expectations about the self-driven cars. As it comes as the Mercedes Benz F015 concept.

DAILMER Chief Executive Officer Dieter Zetsche said that ‘Anyone who is just solely focusing on technology has not understood how autonomous driving experience will change our lives and society as such, and that the car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transporter and will ultimately become a mobile living space.’ 


The interior is dominated by the variable seating, which allows occupants to rotate their lounge chairs in the event that they might elect to have an actual conversation. The chairs are trimmed in ice-white nappa leather, cradled in polished aluminium mounts, and highlighted with blue LED strips. The cabin is framed by six display screens, which use proximity sensors and gesture control. The company’s vision is embodied in a future project called 2030+ sees self driving cars as a springboard for re-structuring the future traffic-devised urban situation with its unique safety zones which will be accessible only by autonomous vehicles.


If you thought all this was more concept than car then you will sure be surprised when we tell you that the first prototype is already running on the streets of Las Vegas and was driven in for the CES keynote address.

A future look at the 2020 cell phone: ..


The iPhone has almost gone out of style, and I say almost due to the many recent events where the iPhone has plunged in popularity. Everyone seems to focus more on the features they want rather than the cool and highly usable touch screen. Sure, the touch screen of course won’t go away, but it once dazzled us and now everyone has it. That’s when you know you have to reinvent the cell phone to dazzle us again.




















Designer Hiromi Kiriki decided to take on the challenge and create what could be the 2020 model cell phone that everyone wants. Surprisingly, it’s a hybrid of… uh… everything really. The many ground breaking features make it even sexier if you ask me. How about a see-through holographic keyboard, bendable LED screen and a truly innovative nano scale screen which will change the way we see movies and visuals in general. Imagine being able to use a keyboard while you drive and still being able to see the road ahead of you, that is if you are able to type with one hand






Just like a lean-but-mean time machine-cum-wearable technology, making you drool at all the magic this little Sweetie can do. The device, designed to be worn as a bracelet, combines and juggles its digital tricks -- flexible organic light emitting diode or OLED displays along with holographic screen projectors, pull-out keyboards for your fingertips, and the whole hoopla of social networking variety from Facebook to MySpace, just like an all-around sleek device always keeping you in the loop within the no-limits territory of communications technology.




“It seems that we are standing on the brink of a new computing and communication era, one that will radically transform our corporate, community, and personal spheres. With continuing developments in miniaturization and declining costs, it is becoming not only technologically possible but also economically feasible to make everyday objects smarter, and to connect the world of people with the world of things.”
