Technology Exhibition on Future Wired NextFest 2007

About simulations and practical
At 13 to 16 September, the technology of the future convention titled Wired NextFest 2007 held in Los Angeles. This exhibition is an annual event of science and technology magazine Wired. In it, showing 150 works of the future of technology from 16 countries.

All objects on display is divided into eleven categories and be in accordance with the function and technology segment. Of them, there are innovations in the field of communication, Robotic, entertainment, transportation, and technology that contribute in the preservation of the environment. Here are some of them.

Globe4D
With this tool, users can find out information and graphics on the whole phenomenon earth surface. Some of the things that made the tool shown researchers the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, this is climate change, IM, radiation, rainfall, forest fire, season, route and aircraft. Entirely in moving image format.

Globe4D also able to show the geographic phenomenon that occurred many years past. One example, the historical movement of earth plates-plates since 750 million years ago. He was also able to show the display surface of the earth hundreds of years. In fact, Globe4D able to show the surface phenomena in the natural sun, moon, and planet-planet lain.
All information Globe4D comes from software that is integrated in it. This information includes the history of earth and geographical objects in the sky sperik. Including, geographic data in the short term the entire surface of the earth.

Views Globe4D consists of two parts. Basic form of the surface even with the feigned globe in the middle. Horizontal surface of the working set of time control. On the surface this is also shown that the information is being observed.

Chroino
Humanoid this mini have the view that friendly. However, he remains strong and able to perform spectacular movements. One of them, running very natural with the withdrawal of men.

Robot can perform this movement is because there is technology Shin-Walk. This technology is able to make Chroino run very smooth, not like in general, the robot-terpatah broken. This technology can also support the athletic ability is better than robots in general.

The design, Chroino also quite interesting. Material basis of carbon and plastic weights make this robot is quite lightweight, only 1.05 kg, with only 35 cm high. More amazing, this robot was processing only done by one person. He is a Professor Tomotaka Takahashi from Robo Garage, a company of robots in Japan.

Brainball
Typically, each person must exhaust energy for a competition. Further-more, when the ability to sneak in a fighting game that constrict and stimulate adrenalin. However, Brainball different. In this game, people would be calm. The passive, the rileks, the greater the chance to win.

The concept of game preparation Smart Studio this is indeed quite unique. Carried out in the top surface of the table with a two-wicket and a ball right in the middle. On their foreheads, two players each use such that the strap with the electrode sensor biosistem.

This system is called a functional measure electroencephalogram signals from the biological body, the electronic trigger activity in the brain. Alpha and theta waves that go from the brain is what ultimately moves the ball forward.

Second wave of this form will only be if someone in a state of calm and rileks. The winner, of course, the most peaceful and successful "push" the ball to the wicket.

The Wheelsurf
The Convention also covers technology means of transportation. One is Wheelsurf. This is a futuristic monowheel initiated Tito Lucas ott scientists from Brazil. Is essentially the form of a wheel with a diameter of approximately 1.7 m. Views Wheelsurf also quite interesting with a choice of bright colors, like red and yellow.

Wheelsurf consists of inner and outer frame. Outer frame made of rubber, such as the ban on vehicles in general. This is the part that actually rotates. Inner frame size is smaller, has three wheels mini work of the outer frame.

Rider seated on the inner frame, which also is the place dipasangnya gas tank, engine, drive train and a similar rudder or motor scooter. How mengendarainya any similar motor, on balance, so that the rider must have a minimum weight of 50 kg.

With no engine-4, Honda GX31, and 31 cc engine capacity, Wheelsurf able to achieve a maximum speed of 40 km / hr. Interested? Ready-ready to fish just enough in the pocket. For, Wheelsurf sold USD 6900 or around Rp 64.6 million.

Pull-Cord Generator
Provide free electricity supply, this is the main function of Pull-Cord Generator Potenco made. This tool is a generator of electricity from the human. How easy. Put just a tool shaped like a yoyo in hand grip, pull the strap with the other hand, and electricity is automatically stored in the internal battery.

Power that is capable of issued any sizable large. Enough for the electronic equipment necessary, such as lamps, phone, radio, GPS, PDA, and water PURIFIER. Unfortunately, this tool has not been on the market. However, a few months, the tool will be sold at cheaper prices because ditarget for the middle to bottom.

With that tool, we minimize the potential problem in electricity. Rates expensive and difficult distribution can also overcame. Yah, if only in Indonesia can be free to pay electricity, perhaps will not occur in such a complex problem.

Married With Robot Year 2050

The researchers estimate that in 2050 people will take a robot as a partner that can dinikahi and who can provide sexual pleasure. David Levy, a student of the Netherlands recently completed a research doktoralnya about human relationships with the robot that will look very robot-like humans in appearance, function and personality so that some people will fall in love to the robot, robots have sex with and even marry robots. "At first sound strange to imagine sex with robots, but so will the news start to appear such as' I have sex with a robot, and it is very fantastic 'in magazines like Cosmo, I would expect many people will follow that trend," he said. In tesisnya, "intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners" (Relationships with intimate partner made), Levy said that the psychologist has identified more than a dozen bed why people will fall in love with robots and all this can be a layer applied to the human relationships with robots. "For example, one thing that drive the human love is a similarity in personality and knowledge, and all this can deprogram," said Levy. "The reason other people are likely fall in love when they know that others like them - this is diprogramkan bias." According to Levy, Massachusetts in the United States will be a city that will melegalkan human-robot marriage. "Massachusetts is far more liberal than-jusridiksi other jurisdictions in the U.S. and is the city that leads to marriage sesam types," said Levy. "In Massachusetts are also many high-technology research." Robot specialist Ronald Arkin of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have not been convinced that human-robot marriage will be legal in the year 2050, but she says: "everything possible". "Only because it has not legal does not mean people will not try it out (married to a robot)," he told LiveScience. "Human beings are not very common. If you ask me whether everyone will want to marry a robot, my answer is' perhaps not '. Akan sehimpunan but there are certain people want to marry a robot? Now many people who want to marry with a sex doll. "
