Jack has developed a wireless device that detects and uses detailed 3D movements in your fingertips to interact with a computer. It has huge potential in the multi-billion pound gaming industry and other niche markets such as remotely operated machinery.

It works by combining information from cameras and wireless sensors, and in the future this technology could even replace traditional computer keyboards and mice to enable people to create and manipulate digital information with their hands in a free and natural way. It could also enable people to perform new tasks that would previously have been too complex or intricate, such as sorting and processing large and disparate data.

Its accuracy and affordability make it stand out from other consumer technologies on the market, and it could be a key enabler in bringing augmented and virtual reality technologies into the mainstream. The device is currently in prototyping and is expected to reach the market in the next few years.

PVTree: Imagining a 3D solar future

Exhibition on Campus from Dec. 1st

The Departments of Physics and WMG in an ongoing research project funded by the Energy and Innovative manufacturing GRP's imagine a future where solar power photovoltaic cells can move beyond their current form of flat structures into something aesthetically more interesting and potentially as attractive such as a tree structure, while also yielding enormous benefits in terms of power produced per area. This project is a feasibility study involving computational geometry and optics as well as public perception and design research. As part of the project an exhibition on campus will take place during week 10 of term, i.e. from December 1st, at various prominent places in order to canvas opinions and reactions.
