National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology of Japan (AIST) announced iCubeSpace, a system which enabled an operator to feel and touch to control a virtual obstacle on 3D display panel. According to the spokes person on the TV news, possible application areas will be ranging from TV gaming, training for surgical operations to virtually touching an art object displayed in an famous museum. The press release is only in Japanese so far.  In the meantime, a DigInfoTV picked up the news at CEDEC 2010 held in Yokohama last week.

This system that consists of a receiver (left) and a transmitter wirelessly enables HD (30 frames/sec) quality video and stereo sounds transmission but with no compression and no delay time. The supplier, Giga Techno Vision's blog says the system is well secured because of its proprietary and patented technologies that differ its digital modulation method from wireless LAN. - Frequency Area 2.4GHz - Transmission power: 10 mW - Radio Channel Capacity 4ch Maximum - Diversity Method: Space-diversity 2 antennas - Size (Tx & Rx each): 110(W) x 80(Ｄ) x 30(Ｈ)mm - Weight (Tx & Rx each): approximately 300g - Transmission distance: 500 m outdoors (up to 3 km) There seem to be various applications, such as remote monitoring, CCTV, home video theater application, surveillance systems, etc. I hope in the near future the system become one single chip for receiver and transmitter each. When the chip becomes available, it will significantly broaden its applications to personal and ...

Growing with further development of hardware and software capabilities, this humanoid robot may have the capability that controls real humans. I hope it will not come true and real even in the future space where highly intelligent humanoid robots will have to have strict limitation not to control humans. 8/24/11
