CONTENTS

The E-ball is a sphere shaped computer concept which is the smallest design among all the laptops and desktops have ever made.

Introduction

E-ball is very small,it is having only 6 inch diameter sphere.

It is having 120x120mm motherboard.Created by Apostol Tnokovski.Smallest PC ever made.160mm round sphere.

Features of E-ball

Key board : Infrared rays and laser.Mouse : RF [Radio frequency] receiver & RF

transmitter.LCD (liquid crystal display) projector.

Working of E-ball

Elements of e-ball

LCD projectors.

DLP projectors.

Projectors which can be used in E-Ball are:

LCD Projectors

These are Liquid Crystal Display projectors.

They are used by manufacturers like Hitachi, Espon and Sony.

more light efficient than DLP.LCD projectors can project bright ,vivid

images with a low output lamp.LCD tends to produce sharper image.More accurate color.Sharper image. More light efficient.

Advantages

More bulky as there are more internal components.

Screen door effect.Contrast.Portability.Image degradation.

Disadvantages

DLP PROJECTORSThese are Digital

Light Processing projectors.

They are used by benQ, Focus and Optoma.

Probability.Higher contrast.Reliability.Sealed optics this makes it better for use in

dusty environment.Less screen door effect.

Advantages

Rainbow effectLight leakageHigh cost

Disadvantages

A Virtual Keyboard is a projection keyboard that is projected and touched on any surface.

User operates by typing on or within a wireless or optical-detectable or area rather than by dpressing physical keys.

Way to eliminate finger cramping.

Laser Keyboard(Virtual Keyboard)

Accuracy.Speed of text entry.Lack of need for flat or large typing surface.Flexibility.Keyboard layouts can be changed by software

allowing for foreign or alternative keyboard layouts.

Advantages

When connected to your handheld computer it is more convenient to carry around than your laptop.

It takes up less desk place than a conventional keyboard.

You could use it with your desktop , laptop handheld computer.

Reasons to use the virtual keyboard

When we are working in an open place we can make use of a paper sheet as a screen.

Paper sheet holder is placed at the back panel of the computer.

The holder can be opened by pressing it in the lower part.

If there is no wall ?

The software interface of E-ball concept is highly stylized with icons that can be remembered easily that support all type of Windows Operating System.

The software interface

It is portable.E-ball has large memory.Useful for making video presentation.These have greater speed.Supports user-defined keyboard layouts.

Advantages of e-ball

Normal OS can’t work in these computers.Cost of E-ball is very high.It is difficult to understand if any problem

occur in the hardware components.

Disadvantages of e-ball

As yeas passes, the computer size is becoming smaller.

Today’s technology is at it’s peak point what we could do whatever we imagine.

New inventions and innovations are emerging on the daily basis.

The imaginations have dressed into reality and today it has become possible to have a whole computer in our pocket all the time. This ball computer has taken the computer technology to new horizons.
