INTRODUCTION
The E-Ball is a sphere shaped computer concept which is the smallest
design among all the laptops and desktops have ever made.
Its not going to be like a PDA, its going to be a PC with all conventional
components namely mouse, keyboard, normal screen.

Size of E-Ball

E-Ball is very small, it is having only 6 inch diameter

sphere.
It is having 120120mm motherboard.
Created by Apostol Tnokopvski.
Smallest PC ever made.
160mm round sphere.

The start of E-ball

Features of E-Ball:
It contains wirelessoptical mouseand laser keyboard,
and LCD projector.
It has around 350-600GB of Hard Disk Drive.
It contains 2GB RAM.
It has two 50W speakers.
It has LAN and WLAN card and a Web cam.

I-tech Virtual keyboard

Dual core processor
Integrated graphics and sound card

Elements of E-Ball

Working of E-Ball:
Key board :Infrared rays & laser
Mouse: RF receiver & RF transmitter
LCD projector

Projectors which can

be
used in E-ball are
1. LCD projectors
DLP projectors

2. DLP projectors

LCD projector.

10

Contd
Metal halide lamp is emitting the light.
Series of di-chroic filters are separates light.
3 polysillicon panels placed in red, blue, green color's
These primary color's are making the image.
Metal halide lamps are output an ideal color
temperature.
LCD technology is used by many manufactures such
as Epson, Hitachi, and NEC.

11

Advantages of LCD
LCD is generally more light efficient than DLP.
3LCD projectors can project bright, vivid images
with a low output lamp.
1000 lumen LCD is more preferred than 1200
lumen DLP .
LCD trends to produce a sharper image.
More accurate color.
Sharper image
More light efficient.
12

Disadvantages
More bulky as there are more internal
components.
Dead Pixels.
LCD panel can fail
Screen door effect.
Contrast.
Portability.
Image degradation.

13

DLP projectors.
DLP-Digital Light Processing.
Worlds only all-digital display solution.
DLP technology is based on semiconductors called DMD chips.
Invented in 1987 by Texas.
DMD chips made up of many tiny mirrors.
Current DMD chip can produce 1024 shades of grey.
Found in projectors manufacturers of BenQ,InFocus and
Optoma.

14

Contd..

15

Advantages

Portability.
Higher contrast.
Reduced pixilation.
Reliability.
Sealed optics this makes it better for use in dusty
environment.
Less screen door effect.

16

Disadvantages
Rainbow effect.
Light leakage.
High cost.

17

Laser keyboard
(virtual keyboard)

A Virtual Keyboard is a projection keyboard

that is projected and touched on any surface
User operates by typing on or within a
wireless or optical -detectable surface or area
rather than by depressing physical keys.
Proved nightmare for users
Way to eliminate finger cramping

18

What Actually it is: Keyboard that a user operates by typing

(moving fingers) on or within a wireless or
optical-detectable surface or area rather than
by depressing physical keys.

19

Reasons to use the

virtual keyboard.

When connected to your handheld computer

it is more convenient to carry around than
your laptop.
It takes up less desk space than a
conventional keyboard.
You could use it with your desktop, laptop or
handheld computer.
20

Advantages: Portability
Accuracy
Speed of text entry
Lack of need for flat or large typing surface
Ability to minimize the risk for repetitive strain injuries
Flexibility
Keyboard layouts can be changed by software allowing
for foreign or Alternative keyboard layouts.

21

If there is no wall?
When we are working in an open place we can
make use of a paper sheet as a screen.
paper sheet holder is placed at the back panel of
this computer.
The holder can be opened by pressing it in the
lower part

22

Scenarios of use

24

The software
interface
The
software interface of E-Ball concept pc is highly
stylized with icons that can be remembered easily
that support all type of windows operating system.

25

Advantages of E-Ball:
It is portable.
E-Ball has large memory.
Useful for making video presentations.
These have greater speed.
Supports user-defined keyboard layouts

26

Disadvantages of E-Ball:
Normal OS cant work in these computers.
Cost of E-Ball is very high.
It is difficult to understand if any problems occur
in hardware components.

27

Conclusion
As years passes, the computer size is becoming
smaller.

Todays technology is at its peak point beyond what

we could ever imagine.
New inventions and innovations are emerging on
daily basis.
Our imaginations have dressed into reality and
today it has become possible to have a whole
computer in our pocket all the time. This ball
computer has taken the computer technology to
new horizons.
