"HATSUNE MIKU" is computer music software that enables users to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism by just typing in lyrics and melody. Powered by YAMAHA's VOCALOID(= Vocal + Android) technology, HATSUNE MIKU was developed by Crypton Future Media, Inc. in Sapporo, Japan, and released on August 31st, 2007. Since then, there have been more than 100,000 songs and movies about HATSUNE MIKU posted on popular video sharing websites such as YouTube and Nico-Nico-Douga(Japan).
From this "music software" with a cute voice and an illustration of a cartoon girl on the cover, not only lots of CGM(Consumer Generated Media) music, but also a remarkable number of derivative illustrations and dedicated free software (including an amazing application tool to create 3D animation of HATSUNE MIKU, etc.) were created. Then, as the recognition and popularity of HATSUNE MIKU grew, more related activities such as launching news sites and SNS sites featuring MIKU or organizing events for MIKU fans have taken place.

Even though many devices emulated its high end specifications, the Nexus One undoubtedly became the choice of handset for developers seeing that it quickly received the latest and greatest Android updates. However, it appears that the torch is being passed on as Samsung received the prestigious opportunity of being the manufacturer of choice to build the second ever Google branded device.

FRACTAL's breakthrough invisibility cloak is shown. The wideband, microwave cloak is shown in lab prototype along with live results. Watch how the invisibility cloak nearly matches the DIRECT microwave power between two antennas--the cloak covers the obstacle and slipstreams the microwaves to the other side. Hi Tech at its cutting edge. Brought here by Fractal Antenna Systems,Inc.

Invisibility Cloak Hides Objects Visible To The Naked Eye!

Baile Zhang at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge has built a carpet cloak capable of hiding objects in the millimetre range over a broad range of visible frequencies from red to blue. By carefully exploiting this property, they've been able to create a block of calcite (actually two blocks of calcite) that acts like a carpet cloak. They've even demonstrated it by hiding a wedge of steel 38mm long and 2 mm high. Zhang and co say that this is the first time that a visible object has ever been cloaked.

Do you sometime feel that your body drags you down in the virtual world?
Don't wanna take any chances when it comes to evolution?

Group7 brings you the solution: CHAIR - Connected Human Analyzer and Interface Repository.

Dual displays and audio feedback boosts your information flow.

A heart rate and blood pressure monitor as well as pupil dilation measurement enables the system to rate incoming information according to how important you feel it is - and rate your friends accordingly. Or automatically drop them.

Eye tracking secures that important messages are always placed were you are looking.

Bio-electrical impedance analysis estimates the body fat and intravenous nutrition enables you to concentrate on your virtual life.

Your body is checked using urinalysis, blood sugar measurement and an automatic servo controlled rectal thermometer.

CHAIR uses hormone measurement of dopamine and cortisol to get to know you. What is important to you makes you react - and what is not.

Using a skin conductivity sensor it even detects if you are being sincere and corrects your choices if not.

It offers transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroshocks to keep your body fit.

And with our patented Spermservice you never have to choose when and with whom to have children. Based on your profile, the system will find the right donor or recipient. It will even take care of the process using a servo controlled catheter.

A powerful Central Processing Unit controls everything - and of course all this information is continuously published online.

The technology of tomorrow is here today - to save you from missing important information and to help you control your mind and body.

CHAIR by Group7 - Real life has never been easier.
