HardwareIntel Developer Forum 2008 - Live! Day 3 Keynote Coverage & The Woz
Woz and Ratner are speaking today, and we should get some good R&D info later in the keynote. This should last from 11am EST to 12:45pm EST, so not quite as long as yesterday, but hopefully even cooler....
Below you'll find live coverage, updated in real time, from the final day of keynotes at IDF. Refresh for the latest updates. All times are in EDT, the newest posts are at the top. 1:01 pm - Making the unthinkable possible. That's what Intel wants to do ... And that's it.12:59 pm - While the idea was cool, they didn't really show off these things in action reassembling themselves. Which would have been nice. It was more about theory, but still cool theory. 12:58 pm - These could take 3D data from like MRIs and build the thing so it could be interacted with. On the everyday scale, things could compact and expand like cell phones. Could be tiny and fit in pocket and expand to hold at ear. or further expand to be more PDA like. 12:55 pm - They are showing some 3D catoms that are small. Little thinner than half the thickness of a dime, and these are really small. Will work on making them smaller.12:53 pm - Built 2D mm scale catoms that can work with electrostatics.12:53 pm - They have electromagnets that can interact at large scale, but want to move to electric fields for smaller interaction. 12:52 pm - Elements are called catoms where C comes from claytronics.12:52 pm - It's only a couple years out they say.12:51 pm - Taking a look at real shape shifting material demo -- Jason Campbell will talk about it.12:51 pm - Medium formed by millions of tiny robots that can be shaped and moulded like clay but with the complexity and programmability of a computer.12:49 pm - Last...
