E-Ball PC

Size of electronics gadgets are diminishing

Optimization techniques are being used.

Designer Apostol Tnokovski has given the idea of smallest PC

It has projector instead of display unit

It has virtual keyboard

Its diameter is 6 inch and it has 120x120 mm motherboard inside it.

( Virtual keyboard by infrared)

.Sensor Module :-The Sensor Module serves as the eyes of the Keyboard Perception technology. The Sensor Module operates by locating the user's fingers in 3-D space and tracking the intendedkeystrokes.

IR light Source:-The Infrared Light Sourceemits a beam of infrared light. This light beamis designed to overlap the area on which the keyboard pattern projects. This is done so as toilluminate the users fingers by the infra-red lightbeam.

The Pattern Projector :-The Pattern Projector basically presents the image of thekeyboard. This image can be projected on any flat surface. The projected image is that of a standard qwerty-keyboard, with all thekeys and control functions as in the keyboard.
