Could an interactive swarm of flying “3D pixels” (voxels) allow users to explore virtual 3D information by interacting with physical self-levitating building blocks? (credit: Roel Vertegaal)
We’ll find out Monday, Nov. 9, when Canadian Queen’s University’s Human Media Lab professor Roel Vertegaal and his students will unleash their “BitDrones” at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Programmable matter
Vertegaal believes his BitDrones invention is the first step towards creating interactive self-levitating programmable matter — materials capable of changing their 3D shape in a programmable fashion, using swarms of tiny quadcopters. Possible applications: real-reality 3D modeling, gaming, molecular modeling, medical imaging, robotics, and online information visualization.

In case you’re wondering…
There IS a big, goofy and stupid smile on my face!
But a word of warning: It’s a contagious condition that WILL infect you if you watch this trailer…

Surprise: It’s Force Friday all over again! A new Japanese trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has arrived, with lots of new footage from the film (in theaters December 18) — including the first (non-commercial) appearance of C-3PO, another glimpse of Princess Leia, lots more BB-8, a big moment between two heroes, and some exciting shots of villain Kylo Ren wielding his cross guard lightsaber. Watch it above!
The new trailer begins, as the last one did, with desert scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley) on the desert planet Jakku — which, more than ever, harkens back to the desolate planet of Tatooine, where Luke Skywalker’s adventures began in 1977′s A New Hope. Unlike previous Force Awakens trailers, though, the focus in this latest glimpse is on Rey’s companionship with the droid BB-8, who does lots of endearing R2D2-esque beeping and chirping. In voiceover, we hear the pirate Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o, still unseen) asking Rey questions about her identity, one of which prompts an intriguing response: “I know all about waiting. For my family.” Sounds like Rey, long speculated by fans to be the daughter of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) or Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), was abandoned on Jakku for a reason. But why?
Advances in robotics and say that in less than fifty years “organic” (man) and the “mecca” (robots) supposedly coexist harmoniously in a civilization that if I imagine there will be little to change his ethics. MAKI360.

Using a touch-screen ordering station instead of speaking to a human while ordering a Panini at Panera is in the imminent future, reports Business Insider.
According to Panera founder and CEO Ron Shaich, a robot revolution will take over companies as labor prices increase and what he calls “digital utilization” goes up, according to the report.
Viewers are in awe of how lifelike the robot appears — and have even claimed to find her attractive.
