"Android Users" - Google to Introduce Family Sharing App from July onwards

Google is going to introduce App Sharing Option for 6 people by Play Family Library which is shared by e-mail to app developers. The App can be Purchased through Google Play Store.

"After Family Library launches, users can add paid apps to Family Library if the apps are purchased after the DDA [Developer Distribution Agreement] update takes effect on July 2nd, 2016," the company said. "In order to provide a seamless user experience, make sure you allow your customers to share purchases made prior to the DDA update effective date as well."

The changes do not apply to in-app purchases or to subscription products, Google said in its new agreement.

Google already offers support for family groups to share Play Music subscriptions. As part of Google Play Music subscription, users also get access to YouTube Red, which allows for ad-free usage of the video site, along with the ability to save videos offline and background playing on mobile devices, as well as access to premium original content.

YouTube Red was launched in Australia yesterday.

At the first day of its annual I/O conference, Google showed off some of the upcoming features of Android N, announced two new messaging apps, & unveiled its Daydream VR platform.

Ring that turns your Skin into Touch Pad

Turn your Arm in Touch Pad

Yeah a Ring (Smartwatch) that turns skin into Touch Pad.
Smartwatches ... meh.
Gesture control ... yawn.

A low energy electric field coursing through your arm ... Huh?

Yup, a new wearable technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University will turn your entire lower arm into a touchpad.
Called SkinTrack and developed by the Human-

Computer Interaction Institute's Future Interfaces Group, the new system allows for continuous touch tracking on the hands and arms, effectively making your skin a touchpad.
It's not the first time researchers have attempted "skin to screen" conversions. Previous approaches employed flexible overlays, interactive textiles, or projector and camera combinations. CMU's new tech, by contrast, uses a small ring or watch that propagates a low-energy, high-frequency signal through the skin.

"The great thing about SkinTrack is that it's not obtrusive; watches and rings are items that people already wear every day," said Yang Zhang, a first-year Ph.D. student in HCII.

"SkinTrack makes it possible to move interactions from the screen onto the arm, providing much larger interface," said Chris Harrison, assistant professor in the HCII and adviser to the research, referring to a problem with many wearables: small interface size. SkinTrack users wear a ring that produces a high-frequency electrical signal. When the finger gets near to the skin or touches the skin, that signal propagates through the skin.

Electrodes in the wearable pinpoint the source of electromagnetic waves created when users touch their arm.

It's pretty darn accurate. The researchers found that they could determine when the finger was touching the skin 99 percent of the time within a mean error of just 7.6 millimeters.

The researchers showed that SkinTrack could be used as a game controller, to scroll through lists on the smartwatch, to zoom in and out of onscreen maps, and to draw. A number pad application enabled users to use the back of the hand as a dial pad for the onscreen number pad; hovering a finger over the hand acts as a cursor, highlighting numbers on the screen to aid in targeting touch points.

The system is promising, though currently there are some limitations. Keeping the ring powered up is a challenge, for instance. Signals also tend to change as the device is worn for long periods, thanks to factors such as sweat and hydration and the fact the body is in constant motion.

Still, this is some drool-worthy sci-fi technology, and it gives new meaning to the phrase, "they really push my buttons."

"Magic Mirror" - It can reveal how your body is getting Fit

A new body-scanning mirror could soon have you asking, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fittest of them all?" But unlike the magic mirror from Snow White's tale, this new device will objectively respond with your body dimensions, weight and muscle mass, all displayed on a 3D avatar of your physique.

Naked Mirror uses Infra-red light to scan a person's body & create a 3D model.

The device, called Naked, is the first 3D body scanner and fitness tracker designed specifically for people to use in their homes, said Ed Sclater, co-founder of Naked Labs, the California-based company behind Naked.

Naked consists of a mirror, scale and smartphone app. The full-length mirror is equipped with sensors along a black strip, which runs down the side of the mirror. The sensors contain Intel Real Sense Technology, which uses infrared lightto scan your body. This is similar to what an Xbox Kinect does.

The scale sits in front of the mirror and rotates 360 degrees in 20 seconds. As you rotate on the scale, ideally wearing minimal, skin-tight, workout clothing, the sensors create 3D depth maps of your body at around 30 frames per second, Sclater told Live Science.

"We stick all those [maps] together to create your 3D body model," he said, which is accurate down to one-tenth of an inch.

Once your 3D body model, which is essentially a mini black-and-white avatar of yourself, is complete, the image and data are sent to an app that you can open on a phone or tablet. This happens within a minute after you step off the scale. You can rotate your avatar, zoom in on parts of your body and display your body measurements, including body fat percentage.

This measure is calculated using a method similar to a hydrostatic dunk-tank test, which compares how much you weigh in water versus on land to get your accurate volume. If you weigh significantly less in water, meaning you are more buoyant, you likely have a higher body fat percentage, because fat is lighter than water. Naked is "essentially a virtual hydrostatic dunk tank test," Sclater said. But, instead of using water, Naked uses your 3D body map to extract your volume.

The system can also pinpoint changes in muscle and fat for different parts of your body by analyzing shapes, Sclater said. For example, the shape of your arm and thigh will look very different if those body parts are dominated by fat or muscle; fat is generally rounder and less shapely, Sclater said.

The app allows you to understand your body and really see changes, the company said. The app displays bands that stretch across your neck, shoulders, chest, arms, waist and legs and shows their measurements and percentage of muscle and fat. The app saves successive measurements and allows you to compare them to each other, Sclater said. For instance, "If your biceps increase in size but your body fat percentage went down, you can assume that that change is a muscle increases," Sclater said.

Being able to see progress can encourage people and help them to stick with workout routines, Sclater said. In fact, only around 20 percent of people stick with health club routines after joining the sites at the beginning of the year, he said. When he looked into why those 20 percent stuck with their workouts he found that they stayed because they saw progress, "and that progress motivated them to continue," Sclater said.

To help motivate the 80 percent of people who lose their workout motivation, Sclater and his business partner, Farhad bakhshian, created Naked, aiming to give people a visual context for the changes happening to their bodies, Sclater said. "This product is for literally anyone who wants the knowledge to take control of their health and wellness," Sclater said, whether it's the casual exerciser to the goal-oriented athlete.

Sclater and Farahbakhshian said they have received positive responses from people who have tried Naked. Almost every person who has tried the system has said, "Wow, I look better than I thought I did," Sclater said. It seems that an objective view is always better than people's perception of themselves, he added.

Modern Inventions - Hover-bike

Looking forward to Flying? Look at this Hovercraft that rides like a Motorcycle.

 It's like a Star Wars inspired Imperial Speeder Bike. The Aero-X hovers above the ground at a maximum altitude of 12 feet (3.6 m) and can reach airspeeds of 45 mph (72 kmh). It can carry two people to a maximum load of 310 lbs (140 kgs).

Aero-X inventor Mark De Roche, an aerospace engineer and Chief Technology Officer for Aerofex Corporation who manufacture the Aero-X, wasn't trying to create a Star Wars Imperial Speeder. He wanted to create a better all-terrain vehicle.

The problem with all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) is that they are not all terrain. You can't go over water, chasms or through swamps.

The hover-bike provides search and rescue crews, emergency responders, border patrols, surveyors, farmers, ranchers and other users with an affordable vehicle that combines the benefits of all-terrain vehicles, aircraft and watercraft into one machine. 

The Aero-X has a kinesthetic control system, which means the vehicle is controlled by leaning against knee and handle bars to steer it sideways, backward or forward.

"You can learn to operate it safely in just a weekend of training," says De Roche. Aerofex, based in Manhattan Beach, California is selling the Aero-X for $85,000 for delivery by 2017.

The Exact Weight you should have according to your Height !!!

Here we will let you know the Ideal weight according to your Height. This method is known like Body Mass Index and is used around the world. Before we start we like to ask you one question – Do you think that person that is160cm tall and has 65kg, is with ideal weight? If your answer is yes, you are deeply wrong.

You must know that weight never goes in the same direction as health. Extra weight is not only an aesthetic problem is also a serious health problem. That is why medical experts recommend combination of healthy diet with regular physical activities.
The table above will show you the number of pounds and you can decide if you should lose some weight or not.

How a GPS Smartwatch can be used for everyday Fitness?

In this fast moving time we need to be updated with everyday rhyms. GPS Smartwatch can be one of the best tools for your daily fitness routines.
Skin tight wetsuit, no spare tire. Powerful lungs to last all day. A confident figure strides out of the water toward an impatiently-waiting hyper light bike. A glance at the wrist; heart rate is fabulous. He’s all business, and he’s ahead of pace. Oh, the glory…

In this admittedly weird triathlete fantasy scene, there’s a good chance the hero’s side piece is a Garmin fenix
3.Triathletes say it has all the right stuff for their demanding regimens.

But what if you’re not a hardcore athlete? What if you’re like me?

I don’t do competitive endurance races. When I think of swimming more than a kilometer without stopping, I think of drowning. I’m just an active guy who likes to be outside and stay reasonably fit.

So in my capacity as a Regular Active Guy, let me save you some time with a swift rundown of the ways a fēnix 3 might fit into an everyday healthy lifestyle. There are dozens of features, but these are what I consider the main things most people will do with the watch:

Track and analyze your activity.
Track basic bio data (steps, sleep patterns, heart rate, and estimated calorie burn) in addition to runs, bikes or swims. The accumulated data syncs to your computer or phone where you can analyze it.

Go exploring (without getting lost).
Super-accurate GPS (plus compass, altimeter and barometer) assists you on runs, climbs, rides, trails or hikes. Plan your routes with free Basecamp software (buy maps or upload your own tracks). Navigate and record your progress. Reverse your path to be guided back the way you came.

Get to know your running form.
With the fēnix 3 HR you can track a number of informative ‘running dynamics’ without a heart rate band, all the tracking is done at your wrist. See heart rate, steps per minute (cadence), ground contact time and left/right balance, stride length, and vertical oscillation (how high you bounce off the ground).

Do guided workouts and training.
Create custom workouts or download pre-programmed ones. Follow along through the steps as they appear on the watch. Set training targets based on distance, time and speed. Get real-time progress feedback.

Customize and expand.
Add different watch faces (essentially display themes) and data fields. Download widgets and apps. For example, there’s a golf rangefinder app, a speedometer, gym timer, atlas, etc. These add-ons make this a ‘smart’ watch in a way that will seem familiar in the era of customizable devices.

Leave it on (and still look good).
The term ‘Multisport GPS Smartwatch’ may evoke visions of a chunky watch with an antennae, but stylish good looks were clearly a priority here. It certainly doesn’t look like a fitness bracelet, and I think you could wear it confidently to work or on a date. Take a look and decide for yourself.
