Ah, lasers. Those wonderful, super intense beams of light that we’ve seen used in headlights , projectors , and naturally, death rays . Like us, researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen figure there’s nothing lasers can’t do, and have figured out a way to use them to cool a bit of semiconducting material

It’s a little shocking to think about the impact that Microsoft’s Kinect camera has had on the gaming industry at large, let alone the 3D modeling industry . Here at SIGGRAPH 2011, we attended a KinectFusion research talk hosted by Microsoft, where a fascinating new look at real-time 3D reconstruction was detailed. To better appreciate what’s happening here, we’d actually encourage you to hop back and have a gander at our hands-on with PrimeSense’s raw motion sensing hardware from GDC 2010 — for those who’ve forgotten, that very hardware was finally outed as the guts behind what consumers simply know as “Kinect.” The breakthrough wasn’t in how it allowed gamers to control common software titles sans a joystick — the breakthrough was the price

Wouldn’t it be great if system memory was super speedy like RAM and non-volatile like flash? Well, NEC and Tohoku University’s new content addressable memory (CAM) has accomplished the trick — it promises five-nanosecond retrieval speeds equal to sticks of DDR3 1600 and can store data even when the power’s off

Sony’s SmartAR demoed live, raises the bar for augmented reality (video)
Some may agree that over the years, augmented reality’s been slowly losing its appeal given its sometimes laggy and unreliable performance — most implementations require a weird marker to be in clear sight, and the graphics rendering speed on your handheld device would rely on your slow and steady hands. As such, we were initially skeptical when Sony’s SmartAR announcement came along; but as you can see in the video above, said technology took us by surprise with its super slick responsiveness, and the markerless object recognition makes a compelling hassle-free selling point

Think your body’s a temple? Turns out it’s actually just the antenna the temple’s staff uses to watch football when they’re done praying. A group of engineers from Microsoft Research showcased a technology at Vancouver’s Conference on Human Factors in Computing that offers gesture-based control on a scale that could make the company’s Kinect controller downright laughable.

As the decade comes to a close, we’re seeing a bevy of real and mythical devices bent on saving main stream media through the execution of a variety of proposed content partnerships . Unfortunately, it’s still hard to imagine how all this will play out in reality
