Live 3D images are already in usage in many our consumer product mainly in security verification like credit card. But now there a new 3D fractal image generator that it is possible to feel floating 3D image or hologram 3D objects, thanks to the scientists from Tokyo University who make it possible. Source from Reuters report that they have manage to enable the 3D hologram to be felt by human hands touching the projecting hologram by using ultrasonic wave which is control by the ultrasound 3D image software. Professor Hiroyuki Shinoda who is one of the developers of the Technology claims that the usage of such technology can be use to replace other physical object like switch button that can be more economical and environmentally friendly.
Of course the usage model from touching 3D hologram objects at this stage is basic model only and perhaps in the coming future they are to do more complex model thus extending the usage model of such technology. This is also one of the wow factors in many Sci-fi film that use its concept to do impressive presentation which is quite notable for me are movies like Star Wars and Steven Spielberg’s film Minority Report. There will others who will be thinking of its usage in the porn industries. We can expect foreseeable future the usage of touchable 3D Hologram technology in the consumer market.

Act 2 – Sammy September 15, 2009 at
6:46 pm
Unsatisfied with the answer from Sammy in the previous episode, the next new day Rikuo continues to questions Sammy where she have gone to in the past few days and did anything out of the ordinary other than being instructed to. But fail to get anything out of the ordinary from Sammy.
At school Rikuo still in the disappointing mood and keen to digging out the truth and accidentally slip out his house android name Sammy to Masaki as if he don’t want Masaki to know about it. Masaki then recap Rikuo about the 3 law of an android (robots). 1st Law “Robots do not inflict harm to humans”. 2nd Law “Robots cannot disobey commands from human”. 3rd “Robots must engage in self preservation”. Masaki make a point that there are not law to prevent robots from lying and but he said that does not mean Rikuo cannot trust Sammy. Since Rikuo know that Sammy is going shopping in the afternoon, Masaki suggest that they go back to the café and wait if Sammy will turn up.

The idea of having a giant solar panel in space to harness the limitless power from sun is really nothing new. In fact the concept is already made it into Sci-fi Anime like Gundam 00. Where orbital elevator were build from Earth stretching out to space to collect the solar power.
Now, the ideas have started taking more serious interest as source from Inhabitat reveal that the Japan will be investing $21 billion in such development. The solar space power plan will provide 1 gigawatt of electricity wirelessly. So this project actually take 1 step further when compare with the concept of orbital elevator in Gundam 00 where they have build the elevator from Earth and all to way into the space. So no wire attachment is require to transfer power, very innovative! So it will beam the power from space back to Earth. Well not sure whether the concept was influence by Gundam 00 since it is a very popular anime series in Japan.
Anyway the huge project will be work by Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and industrial design company IHI Corp mainly. Expect to have the prototype ready for test run by 2015. If this method proved to be successfully then it will definitely help with the growing energy needs in Japan and also encourage other nations to move into space solar power plant development.
