Google Pixel Camera Sample ♥️

Google has announced Android 7.1 Nougat, which adds a number of features to Android 7.0 that launched earlier this year. Android 7.1 brings new features to all devices, but it also includes a number of special things that are exclusive to Google's new lineup of Pixel phones.

Google takes control of its phone hardware just in time to enter a fairly tough arena.

We may be saying goodbye to the Nexus name, but we're not saying goodbye to the things we've come to expect from Google's premiere phones. The new Pixel still offers everything you'd expect in a flagship, including a highly-rated camera, a fingerprint sensor and the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. But, with so many current phones offering similar chipsets, features like Google Assistant could make all the difference. We'll take a closer look at some of the bells and whistles in our eventual review, but for now, there are specs to chew over. Check out the table below to see how the Pixel measures up on paper to some of its leading competition.
The Pixel phones will have Google's new launcher, Google Assistant, a phone and chat tech support service, unlimited, original-quality backup for photo and video to Google Photos, and a new Smart Storage feature that automatically removes backed up photos and video when the phone's storage is full. They also have a few cosmetic updates, including more system theming options, unique navbar icons, and a dynamic calendar date icon.

The rest of the Android world will get a new Night Light option (similar to Apple's Night Shift), touch and display improvements, Daydream VR support, gestures for the fingerprint scanner, and a number of developer-focused enhancements.

Google did not say when Android 7.1 would be available for non-Pixel devices, but the new Pixel phones will be available later this month.

Lix 3D Printing Pen

A London-based startup has unveiled the world's smallest 3D-printing pen – smaller than a posh fountain pen. It's a 3D Pen. Function are similarly to the 3D printer. Writing and drawing in the air is possible With LIX.

Lix was devised by Ismail Baran and Anton Suvorov in Belgium, and Delphine Wood in London. They Said..

• "We knew there were 3D pens were out there, but we wanted to make it much smaller," Wood told The Reg. "Each part has been completely redesigned from scratch to fit this particular product - all the parts are new and we designed the parts ourselves."
  
  
  
  
  
  HOW IT WORKS:

Lix has a hot-end nozzle that sees the exit of the plastic filament ABS/PLA, which is introduced in the upper extremity of Lix Pen. The filament goes through a patented mechanism while moving through the pen to finally reach the hot-end nozzle, which melts and cools it down.

Made from aluminium, the Lix Pen is not too dissimilar in size from your average biro, making it very portable. It's also powered by USB, so can be used in any country with the local adapters.

Elon Musk took the futuristic gesture interface from Iron Man and made it real (video)

Elon Musk has posted a video showing off Space X’s custom Iron Man-inspired interface for using hand gestures in the air to design rockets.

Musk revealed to Iron Man director Jon Favreau on Twitter last month that the Space X team had seen the interface in the movie and decided to build it in real life.

The system uses the Leap Motion controller to track hand gestures. Implementations of the system include a version using 3D glasses, a free-standing glass projection (as seen in Iron Man) and the Oculus Rift headset for the full virtual reality experience. To top it all off, the team then printed the part in titanium using a 3D laser metal printer.

Biggest Panorama Photo Ever Captured

A panorama is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model.

A panoramic view is also proposed for multi-media, cross-scale applications to outline overview (from a distance) along and across repositories. This so called a cognitive panorama is a panoramic view over and a combination of cognitive spaces.

Nowadays Panorama Photography becomes Popular because of the significant rate of Smartphone users. 

Panorama photos is a new way of taking photos, which appear much wider and captures more area than normal photos. Starting from Android devices, Panorama feature made its’ entry to other smartphones, cameras, and even a Panorama ball which captures 360 Panorama photos named Squito.

How Panorama works is it captures different parts of the area separately while you move your phone/camera and stitches them together intelligently to make it one big photo. These are wide photos and have more resolution than ordinary photos we see in everyday life.

 Now, Here it is the biggest ever made Panorama photo. This is not just the biggest panorama photo captured ever, this is also the 2nd biggest photo. This is a 600,000 pixels wide 360 degree panorama captured in Tokyo.

The interesting thing is, even Photoshop can’t handle this panorama as the maximum resolution Photoshop supports is 300,000 pixels and this panorama is its double. The photo is captured using Canon 7D with 400mm f/5.6L lens and the camera was kept there for 12 hours to stitch the photos it captured.

All in all, here are some mind-blowing stats. There were 10,000 photos captured and stitched together by a 12 core Fujitsu Celsius R920 workstation which needed around 192GB of RAM to make the photo load. It took 12 weeks of processing for the final upload by Jeffrey Martin.
