Everyone’s Computer

Everyone’s Computer is a concept gathering all the needs of a family’s members, describing how the future PCs will look like and function.

Who is not dreaming about having the perfect PC complete with 3D interface and easily controlled by gestures like your own hands would be in the virtual world touching and moving folders and files, or controlling the applications?

At a touch of your finger, the media player would start playing your favorite movie or the music playlist, while with both of your hands you could search through the picture database to find those nice moments from the last year’s trip to the sea side.
This could be possible if we’d take into consideration the following factors: natural movement, flexible input interface, and multi-actions.
With the third dimension introduced into the user’s interface, you get more information displayed and you could navigate through it using your own hands, revealing the objects in the back by simply waving your hand.

You would see a virtual handprint inside the computer with the shape and position of your hand in the reality, this capability being accomplished by using two parallel cameras in charge with capturing your hands’ movements simultaneously.
The depth of the hands is established by the fusion of two parallel images.

One of the main task of Everyone’s Computer is to completely eliminate the mouse and keyboard giving the user freedom to express feelings using gestures.
This new technology allows multiple users to control the PC from anywhere simultaneously, becoming the next generation multi-personal platform with all electronics in your home unified as one central processing structure with controls to appliances achieved via hand commands in the range of the computer’s camera hub.

This is how the personal computer with touch-sensitivity is evolving to multi-personal computing with hand detection and colors differentiating each user’s hands.
The ergonomical aspect here is that such a computer removes the problems created today to the lumbar muscle and hands caused by the position in which we work at our desktops or laptops.
In the near future you will be able to be in any position you feel comfortable, with your friends around you, controlling the computer with hands from the distance.

We could talk about the uses of this concept for hours and we wouldn’t finish discussing it because it is designed to be easy to use, easy to learn and fits in homes, public places, offices, schools and even to people that don’t have a strong technology knowledge.
But I can give you an example.
You could turn on/off the lights in your house, download movies, switch to some TV channel by pointing your finger to it, and without using a remote, and during this time, one of your room mates could be learning how to cook Chinese recipes in the kitchen by replaying the video lessons until he/she learns it and food is ready.

Everyone’s Computer is designed to add a modern air to your home, to be plugged into standard electricity sockets, and its colors are customizable.
It has a translucent silicon ring at the bottom and is emitting blue light when powered, with vertical and horizontal stripes on the hubs for clear distinction between them.

Well, this is it! Check back later or "Get email delivery" (from the side bar) to read about the next PC design concept that will be even more spectacular, but don’t forget to leave us a line with your impression about Everyone's Compter concept.
