Motion Capture Technology September 2, 2010 No Comments

Avatar sure is a hit to the whole world wide viewers avid techies, graphic geeks, movie addicts, or not, Avatar has exactly overwhelmed every audience’s movie experience and opened the gate to the world of 3D and graphic advances… so much to say, Avatar was able to make every emotion really relevant bridged to the human actors and the computer generated characters by the use of the all new brilliant thing called Motion Capture Technology. A few minute video featured in BBC news’ online page discretely and briefly showed how this Motion Capture technology exactly works, the terms were truly simplified to make even non-technical viewers like me understand everything the monitor shows.

The Motion Capture Technology has long been a useful tool in Hollywood and movie studios used as a device to track down emotions and help actors and actresses, and all the directing staff to recognize personalized factors on how to make emotions sound and look more than a drama scene. Today, the usage of Motion Capture Technology is attempted to be expanded through the efforts of researchers at the University of Southern California and unusual partnership from different parties such as actors, engineers and others as they try to make Motion Capture Technology work for special children with unusual neurological diseases or for couples under marriage counseling in aid to help interpret their emotions and such.

Car Hacking No Comments

Way back year 2000 strikes the issue over Fords’ recall for failing Firestone tires which prompted the congress to release a new mandate regarding TREAD (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act which required installation of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) for effective alert system just when one of the car tires goes underinflated; this is one of the few technologies needing wireless connections and systems working like computers as efficient, modern and highly managed as they are but also on the downfall, as vulnerable as computers are to hackers.

Cnet.com shares the possibility of cars being the next hacking frontier just so as every part of an automobile becomes wireless and highly accessible now a days. Potential hackers could possibly hack systems and easily deflate tires, shut off the engine, open the car’s windows, detach the side mirrors, and other moves executable even by just merely entering the car’s systems through the server that operates the entire automobile. Though high technological movies and most of the creative analysts’ minds are only the ones thinking and predicting how this is done, experts are quite sure that future hacking suspects already have long been studying the idea of this new hacking arena all along.

We always experience the same old creepy thoughts of saving over months of salary or even worst, an annual bank interest loan just to buy some things appealing to our satisfaction. We sacrifice things in the better goal to afford for some items we long awaited to own; take for example a latest Blackberry model, you have saved for it, earned it and celebrated for the days bliss but for just a few days, news from tech-related pages, forums and television media announces a brand new release for the same company and says this model is has a better transmission set, has a lot more features, has a wider range of like this, that and blah blah and for the finale, it has the same price as you’ve bought your new long time saved item. What a sad story.
These happen all the time, thus prompting editor Nardeem Muadi to release an article not only of an informative value but more of a reminder to space age item lovers to slow down a bit and think twice before rushing to shop for the latest trending items particularly on the newest modeled cars in town.

Just releasing one of their promising deals for enticement just before they finally reveal their mighty product line ups. Its best to wait for a bit rather than be sorry for buying something with the same price over another latest, well remodeled one.

We see a lot of people everyday going ga ga over their pets particularly on cute and cuddly man’s best friend, dogs. They seem turning frantic and crazy over these creatures dressing them up with thousand dollar clothing, fancy diamond beaded accessories, giving them sacks of food more even expensive than a box of chocolates, tucking them up in a nicely made bed, conducting birthday parties for them, fashion shows, and even weddings and stuff, all growing worse day by day.
Unleashed, which is a blog created solely for animal lovers, shared a rather striking news on a dog going to church and even had a taste of communion. The whole scenario was described which really pissed off every religious respecting individual including a devotee who witnessed the event. Just after the news enjoyed conquering daily scoops and headlines, the priest who former conducted the mass finally gave his apologies despite other churches saying there’s really nothing wrong with the act. So it is, dogs surely enjoy the comfort of human world but before giving the creature another luxury only applicable for humans, just try to double check the appropriateness of the act before creating a scandal.
