Intel helps Stephen Hawking communicate better

 

When Stephen Hawking has something to say about the mysteries of physics and the universe, we all listen carefully. Unfortunately, her long battle with Lou Gehrig's disease continues and gets worse, as their ability to communicate is deteriorating. For that reason, the guys at Intel have decided to help.

Currently, Hawking uses a complex system that uses sensors to tics and recreate words that are then translated by a speech synthesizer.

So far it has worked well, but due to increasingly weak condition the system is becoming inefficient. When Stephen asked the help of Intel, the company's CTO, Justin Rattner, decided to take over the issue.

Your idea is a system that is more sensitive to facial expressions and movements. The new platform will also use Hawkings perform movements with his mouth and his eyebrows, which would allow him to communicate about 10 times faster. Combine that with a system similar to Morse code, communication would become much more fluid.

Obviously, to be successful this system could also be used by other people with similar problems.

DualShock analog controller (pictured) has hardly changed since its launch in 1997, but new rumors suggest the company are working on a new type of control for the PS4.

As they say, there are already prototypes PS4 control with biometric sensors and touch screen LCD, and the same are in the laboratories of the research and development department of Sony. He says the idea is to create a Sony user interface similar to that used by the PS Vita.

The touch screen makes sense, but the biometric sensor add new way to play video games, and also add a few extra dollars to the cost of control.

Will have to see how out once the PS4 is released.
