Technology 2020


Technology is evolving at a very high speed. Keeping this in mind an attempt is made to visualize how technology would look like after a decade. Current era is dominated by smart phones with touch based devices on the hype. Soon this technology will be taken to an entire new level…!!!
Probably the heart of technology 2020 would consist of:

Virtual Wall: A wall which physically does not exist but allows writing, drawing and expressing your thoughts by using your hands. This can be the future of our class rooms with desks and boards getting replaced by these walls.

Cloud Classrooms: After a decade there will be no need to physically be present in school but still feel like you are a part of the class and teacher is just in front of you. It will also enable you to interact with them physically.

No More Projectors: No more tasks of projector settings, as your device whether a Smart Phone or a PDA will have sensors which can convert a plain desk into a screen and the display will be replicated on the Desk.

4 way mobile computing: You will be able to share displays of your smart phones or tabs and extend them on a surface as well as show and change immaculate results with graphics by interacting with them on the surface without physically contacting the mobile.

Surface display: With all features listed above we can say that entire future will have a surface which does not exists but can be created and re-created as and when needed with the feature of human interaction and making changes as and when needed. Even your coffee mug can be your surface to display your data.

Digital Media: - Unlike today where we go online to read news or subscribe to websites or download and application for the same, the future will just ask you for one device that will have everything on the go, no more subscription, you will get news on the device everyday and scroll to past days and when you are done with reading you can just fold it as you do it with regular Newspaper or magazine.

One Remote with Multiple Controls: Currently a digital remote just gives you details about the current device but the future will allow controlling multiple devices and displaying the details of them. It will also scan the details and share it with any surface you want, any device you want.


Finally we can say that this will be the era of LIVE technology where gestures, emotions, thoughts all can be expressed at one go.

A Quick Dip into the Sea of Touch Technology!


Over a decade and half ago one could not imagine that touch screen devices would become part of our daily activity. Over then it was just limited to Apple INC and O2 Hand Phones now termed as smart phones but as time and technology progressed, technology brought touch gestures virtually to almost every one.
Lately the following Touch Screen technologies are widely used:
  • Optical Touch Screen
  • Infrared Touch Screen
  • Gesture Based Touch Screen

Optical Touch Screen
With the rapid development in Gaming technology and Gadgets evolution the optical touch has gained significant importance. The optical touch screen has sensors around it and these track the movement of any object that is close enough by detecting the interruption through an infrared beam. As no Hardware works without Software, the optical sensors are then realized by the compatible software and then the screen distortion is made according to the touch made. The light is then emitted across a plane surface and depending on the current situation of the screen; it can become active or passive. Optical touch screen is cost effective with multiple touch feature and a super-fast response. Optical screens are widely used in vendor’s Point of Sale (POS).

Why Optical Touch Screen?
Optical touch guarantees Accuracy. Also it does not require frequent calibration. It efficiently senses the touch of bare fingers, fingers with gloves and even stylus. It does not require special drivers, means its plug and play ready. The organization working with digital signage love this technology as it suits almost perfect to their work.
Infrared Touch
Infrared has been around for some time but not in touch technology, With the PDA’s and Smartphones flowing in, the Big Giants went back to the invisible beam know popularly as Infrared for getting their touch in lines. Infrared touch works on beam interruption method. It has a frame surrounding the display which has light sources on one end and light detectors on the other hand. Both of these together create an optical grid across the screen. Now when the end user touches the screen the invisible beam is broken by the signal received by the photo sensors.
Why Infrared Touch Screen?
Inspite of being costly, the Infrared touch screen is accurate and can be trusted upon. The light emission is the maximum in Infrared Touch Screen.
Motion and Gesture Touch
With the advent of Gaming consoles’ technology, the humans feel like they are an integral part of the game. This experience is possible only because of the motion and Gesture Touch.
We normally wave hands for saying HI or Bye but who thought this waving might change screen on the computer, can hit the tennis ball in the gaming console.
The working of motion and gesture based touch screen is quite simple. It works basically on the movements of the object around the device. The object must be in a specific range of the device so that the device can understand the motion. Assume you are in front of the Gaming Console trying to play tennis…The instructor will tell you to stand at a particular place and then time your swings of the Racket on the ball. As you move; the screen and device captures your movements and replicate the same on the Console and execute the movement.
ACTION => CAPTURE=> REPLICATE=>EXECUTE
This technology has already arrived in smart phones where you just need to wave your hands side ways to turn a page in an ebook or just wave up and down to scroll the webpage. The hardware for the motion technology is just off the shelf component. The main worker is its software that actually initiates the working.

Why should one use Motion and Gesture based touch screen???
Firstly it does not require much training to learn, how these screens work. Even finest of movements are recognized by the screen. Another advantage is that most of the Operating Systems support such screens. So far it is considered as the best technology for Gaming Consoles.
In the near future, such touch screens are expected to be an integral part of Gadgets like
Computing Devices like Tablets, Thin Clients etc.

Windows Embedded OS




We often encounter situations in our day to day life where we possess things, which have absolutely no usage or requirement. This situation is reflected in the case of Operating Systems that we use in our smart devices. We have features, applications etc on our smart devices which are insignificant to us or to our work. All they do is occupy unnecessary memory in the devices and in many cases causes us additional cost.

Wish to avoid the cost and save up on memory, resources and also turnaround time? Well, now there is a perfect solution to this problem- Windows embedded operating systems.

Windows embedded operating system extends the power of windows operating system along with expeditiously reducing the memory consumption, cost and the resource usage.

Depending on the purpose served by the device, the windows operating system can be customized, i.e., only the required features and applications are installed. In other words, windows embedded operating system can also be termed as ‘light weight operating system’. The different versions of windows embedded operating systems include:
  • Windows embedded Standard 2007
  • Windows embedded Standard 2009
  • Windows embedded POS Ready 2009
  • Windows embedded 7
  • Windows embedded 8


The use of embedded operating system is not limited to just computers. Various devices on which windows embedded operating system can be installed are:
  • Thin client: The use of embedded windows operating system in thin client will eliminate the need to connect remotely.
  • Digital signage: This device is typically employed for the playback and also distribution of the digital content on network of displays. With the integration of windows embedded operating system, there is no need to compromise on the quality of display. Windows embedded operating system has enabled the digital signage to be small enough that it can be mounted on a wall too.
  • Point of Sale (POS): ‘Point of sale’ generally refers to the hardware and software used for checkouts – the equivalent of an electronic cash register. It is used widely in places like supermarkets, restaurants, hotels etc. Windows embedded operating system for POS bears the updated and advanced facilities.
Some of the various features of windows embedded operating systems are:

  • Windows embedded OS has all the device management functionalities.
  • Uncompromised security is another important feature. Along with compatibility with the existing system and customization through a worldwide network, the advance security (e.g. lockdown feature) implanted in windows embedded operating systems ensures that the probability of system failure or system being corrupt is negligible.
  • Reduced turnaround time is an important benefit especially for the applications and devices where the turnaround time plays a critical role.

Small Form Factor





Good equipment is a small bulk - Small form factor

Just as the title reads, small form factors are big things (functions, feature etc.) in small packages (casing). A small form factor is ideally a ‘minimized’ interpretation of a desktop computer. Traditional desktop PCs have always had the drawback of ‘occupying large space’ along with ‘being least portable’. To eliminate these drawbacks small form factors are designed in such a way that they occupy less space and provide maximum functionality.
Below are the advantages of Small Form Factor over traditional PCs.

  •     Physical dimensions: Dimension wise the small form factor is undoubtedly much smaller and compact than the traditional PC.
  •      Weight and portability: Being compact, the small form factor is light weighted and is easier to carry i.e. it is portable.
  •     Temperature and noise: The issue of temperature and noise is pretty same in small form factor as that in any traditional PC. However, with proper interior management, these issues can be handled.
  •     Lanning: Want to attend a game party? But difficult to carry the PC? Well small form factor can be easily carried and is also very easy to Lan.

Small form factor is very useful and suitable for places where ‘real estate’ or ‘space’ is a critical issue. But even when real estate is not an important factor it is wise to use small form factor as it not only frees up space which can be utilized for other purposes like a larger monitor (better and enhanced display/visual experience), but also looks great and adds grace to the décor of its surrounding.
Some of the Small form factor types are:
  • Cubic: many of the small form factors are cubic in shape and the motherboard rests flat against the base of the case.
  • Nettops: Nettops are also known as bookshelf units as they are compact enough to fit in a bookshelf.
  • Computer on module (COM): In such small form factor the entire computer is built on a single circuit board.


Thus as a buyer, depending on various factors like the usability, space available etc, you can select from a wide range of Small Form Factor PCs.

Home, without any second thought, is a place where the heart resides. Home, irrespective of what kind of and where it is (e.g. apartment in Manhattan, a Tudor in London or a penthouse in Hong Kong), is the only place where one finds comfort and peace. Home is a place to rest and nest, to spend time with friends and family, to escape the pinball game of work, and to be entertained by more engaging games, from TV's popular "Survivor" series to the best selling PC-based diversions such as Halo 3. The digital home is a rapidly evolving reality all around us. Our day-to-day life includes a wide variety of home devices that are digital—everything from PC's to laptops to smart phones and MP3 players. This list continues to grow as new digital devices and technologies for home and mobile use make their way into the market. Life without digital devices is unimaginable.

Thus, we have devised a solution that is based on Intel's latest desktop board D33217CK combined with the Windows 8 Operating System.


The technology era, in which we live, compromising between performance, profile, and price is not an option. The D33217CK is a tiny 4"×4"×1.5" computing device with the power of the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i3 processor. Its low power consumption enables innovative system designs and energy-efficient applications in places like digital signage, home entertainment, and portable usage.
