E-BALL PC CONCEPT

E-ball PCdesigned by Apostol Tnokovski

WHAT IS E-BALL PC?

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

This ball predicts the future of computing.

You might have seen many things like this but the unique feature of this ball is that when it is closed, no one can guess that whole computer is hidden inside this ball.

Features of e-ball

This concept features all the traditional elements like

Dual core processor

2-GB RAM

Integrated graphic card and sound card

2*50 W speaker

HD-DVD Recorder

Continue….

Wireless optical mouse

Laser keyboard

Modem

Webcam

Integrated LCD projector

Opening the stands and Detaching the optical mouse

E-Ball is designed to be placed on two stands, opens by simultaneously pressing and holding the two buttons located on each side.

After opening the stand and turning ON the PC, pressing the detaching mouse button will allow you to detach the optical mouse from the PC body.

Display

There’s no external display unit, a projector will pop up by pressing and holding the button and focus the computer screen on the wall.

Focus on the wall can be adjusted with navigation buttons.

In case there is no wall around, it supports a paper holder.

ACTIVATING PAPER HOLDER

The paper sheet holder is on the back of the PC.

This can be opened by pressing it in the lower part.

As it pops up it goes divided into three parts.

ACTIVATING LASER KEYBOARD

By pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds the projector pops up.

The Laser Keyboard can be activated by pressing the keyboard activation button

VIEWS OF E-BALL

FUTURE OF E-BALL PC CONCEPT

In Tnokovski’s opinion, this is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody’s attention.

For the moment, there is no word on pricing or when it’s going to be available.

But upon release, it will surely hit the markets as everyone would like to see a small spherical PC like this one.

SPACE MOUSEby

INTRODUCTIONTo take a close look at

something in the real world, you pick it up and examine it from every angle

Space Mouse is a professional 3D controller specifically designed for manipulating objects in a 3D environment.

permits the simultaneous control of all six degrees of freedom

serves as an intuitive man-machine interface.

With the space mouse, you can intuitively zoom, pan and rotate models, exploring and navigating your designs as naturally as if they were objects in the world.

Working of space mouse

Space with it’s V- shaped cap naturally supports the zoom features. It’s 11 buttons puts the most used functions right at your fingertips.

Place your fingers gently on the controller’s cap.

Orient your model on the screen by simply twisting in any direction to rotate it around the X,Y,Z axis. you will quickly be able to combine all movements.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Weight:720grmsSize: L X W X H : 188 X 120 X 44 mmStandard mode: 3D interface Internal resolution: 8bit Interface: RS232Translation mode: coordinates X,Y,Z are

reported.

FEATURES Calibration free sensor technology for high

precision and unique reliability. Settings to adjust sensitivity and motion control

to the users preference. Any computer whose graphics power allows to

update at least 5 frames per second of the designed scenery, and which has a standard RS232 interface, can make use of the full potential of Magellan space mouse.

drawing times is reduced by 20%-30%

increasing overall productivity.going back and forth to the menu is

eliminated. small form factor frees up the desk space.natural hand position (resting on table)

eliminates fatigue.

ADVANTAGES

DRAWBACKS

Too expensive (nearly $8000 earlier now reduced to about $3000 eventhough manufacturing cost is less than $1000)

Works only if RS232 interface is provided.
