Could the technology that MIT’s Michael Bove is working on change computer displays as we know them today? It wasn’t long ago that LCD flat screens took the market over. Are we going to see a similar change when Holographic Video technology matures? “The Media Lab’s video holograms appear to float above a piece of frosted glass.

Richie Burnett has a Induction Heating Demonstration that is worth having a look at. Richie has also done extensive work with Tesla coils, make sure you have a look at those also. “Induction heating is a non-contact heating process. It uses high frequency electricity to heat materials that are electrically conductive. Since it is non-contact, the heating process does not contaminate the material being heated. It is also very efficient
Intelligent Hospital Systems is building a system called RIVA which stands for Robotic IV Automation, it’s a large box of automation which would be installed in a hospital to aid in proper medication delivery. Have a close look at the second image, that’s right a huge robotic arm is used to move the product through various stages inside the machine. I wonder if the development team has some fun with
