Get this. You know Google Glass, the futuristic headset that sells for $1,500? According to a new report from TechInsight's Teardown.com, the high-tech headpiece only costs around $80 to produce. The site secured a pair of the pricey specs and then ripped them apart, piece by piece, to determine the estimated price of each component. The surprising finding? Their preliminary analysis revealed that the bill of materials for all the parts and pieces used to make Google Glass adds up to a measly $79.78. The most expensive component used in Glass is the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 applications processor, which comes in at around $13.96. The display, touch screen, and glass cost just $3, while the battery comes in at $1.14, and the camera is worth $5.66. Non-electrical material used in the device costs $13.63, while the 16GB of NAND flash memory from Toshiba totals $8.18, and assembly and testing comes in at $2.15. Google, meanwhile, says Teardown.com's assessment is n...

Newcastle University is trialling new technology to help patients suffering from Parkinson's disease live more independently by reminding them to swallow, speak up and take their medication Google Glass is being used by people suffering from Parkinson’s disease in a groundbreaking experiment to see if the technology can help improve their day-to-day lives. The technology, which is not yet available in Britain, reminds the patients to take their medication, contacts relatives in an emergency and can even prevent debilitating episodes of paralysis – known as ‘freezing.’ The system works like a hands-free smartphone, displaying information on the lens of the Glass. It is voice-operated and linked to the internet. Doctors at Newcastle University have created a programme that helps control behaviour associated with Parkinson's, such as reminding the individual to speak up or to swallow to prevent drooling. “The beauty of this research project is we are desi...

Samsung's Galaxy S5 may be getting lots of smart new accessories, but the Korean smartphone maker is also making sure its lower-powered phones get some love too. After including various software usability functions in the Galaxy Core Advance at the end of last year, the company today introduced three new accessories that have been designed specifically to help disabled or visually impaired users do more with their Android device. First up is the Optical Scan Stand, a raised bracket that automatically triggers the phone's OCR features to recognize and read aloud text placed in front of the phone. There's also Voice Labels, which are similar to Samsung's NFC-equipped TechTile stickers, but let visually impaired users make voice notes or record short explanations on how to use various devices around the home. Perhaps the most impressive accessory of the three is Samsung's Ultrasonic Cover: a specialized case that uses sound waves to detect people or objects (in...

This post will explain how to load files from the res/raw and the Assets folder using a String to specify the file name. Yes, there are a lot of tutorials on this subject, but they all use the automatically generated integer IDs from the R class as inputs and not many of them even mention the possibility of loading files from the Assets folder. As a result of depending on the ID, the file reference must be known beforehand. Instead, the code featured in this post will explain how to find the reference to the file and then load it at runtime based solely on its name. This means that the reference ID and the file don’t even have to exist in the first place, and can be acquired at run time. Before looking into the code, it’s important to highlight the main differences between the raw folder and the Assets folder. Since raw is a subfolder of Resources (res), Android will automatically generate an ID for any file located inside it. This ID is then stored an the R class that will act as a ...
