Many displays serve as just just reflections of what the computer projects. However, it would be cool to have a display that see’s what you are looking at and then augments the display. Such Virtual Reality (VR)displays are just being created and though all the attention has been given to Google glass, there are several companies and groups that have been working on such displays. One memorable one has been the work that is being created through a startup called “Meta” which is building a computerized display that has a camera mounted in its display so works very well for augmented reality applications. See the link below for more information.

Locked in syndrome – technologies for communication
A stroke is a major cause of death but in non-lethal cases it causes significant damage to the brain. One of the most bizarre one is the locked-in syndrome. This is caused by the lesion to the brain stem ventral pons and was termed the “locked in syndrome” by Plum and Posner in 1966. There…
Increasing In vitro protein production through gel
In vitro protein production is a very useful technique to quickly produce the protein of interest within a few days especially if your need s are for low amounts and you want to produce a variety of proteins or their modifications. Essentially, you mix the DNA template of interest with a cell extract. Incubate and…
Pattern recognition by the brain
The brain is designed to find patterns and then correlate it with the understanding of the world. This comparison is important since comparing fruit like images, sounds or feels with previous fruits eaten as food means survival. Quickly deducing that the long string hanging from the tree is actually a snake will also make for…
Museums
A human instinct seems to support collection. It may have originated from collection of food and collecting for the hard times…but… the collection seems to progress into other objects. A visit to the beach implies collection of shells. Why? It is not clear why any individual collects. Some of it has to do with shiny…
