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
5
Features of E-Ball:

It contains wireless optical mouse and laser keyboard, and LCD
projector.
It has around 350-600GB of Hard Disk Drive.
It contains 5GB 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
LCD projector Paper holder

Working of E-Ball:

Key board :Infrared rays & laser
Mouse: RF receiver & RF transmitter
LCD projector

8
Projectors which can be
used in E-ball are
1. LCD projectors
DLP projectors

9
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.

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.

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


19
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.

20
Technologies used:-
In one technology, the keyboard is projected optically on
a flat surface and, as the user touches the image of a key,
the optical device detects the stroke and sends it to the
computer.
In another technology, the keyboard is projected on an
area and selected keys are transmitted as wireless signals
using the short-range Bluetooth technology.

With either approach, a virtual keyboard makes it possible for
the user of a very small smart phone or a wearable computer
to have full keyboard capability.

Theoretically, with either approach, the keyboard can be in
space and the user can type by moving fingers through the air!
21
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.

22
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.


23
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

25
Scenarios of use
26
The software interface
27
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.

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

28
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.

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.
