How to Enable WhatsApp Fingerprint Lock | 2021

WhatsApp has rolled out an update for fingerprint locks for Android users to provide an extra level of privacy and security. The latest feature will help users with add-on protection to their chats from getting hacked or snooped upon. This feature was already in use for iPhone users.
To use this latest feature in Android, the WhatsApp app has to be updated if it is not done already.
WhatsApp Fingerprint Lock: step 1

Once the app is updated user has to head over to Settings >> Privacy  >> Fingerprint lock. The option is by default disabled even after the update. So the user has to toggle the button and authenticate it by scanning the fingerprint. It is to be noted that only one finger can be used to authenticate and lock the WhatsApp application. 
WhatsApp Fingerprint Lock: step 2

Depending upon the frequency of the users, the option has got three options to delay the application to be locked after use. The available options are immediate, 1 minute, and 30 minutes.
In an official statement, the Facebook-owned company said,
"Earlier this year, we rolled out Touch ID and Face ID for iPhone to provide an extra layer of security for WhatsApp users. Today we're introducing similar authentication, allowing you to unlock the app with your fingerprint, on supported Android phones."

Contact Lenses Can Help You Zooming In By Blinking

 
Contact Lenses Illustration

Technology never fails to amaze us: it leaves us in awe in every moment pass by. We are now into that stage of the future where the human eye can zoom in by just blinking with the help of a tiny contact lens. Yes,  you heard it right. Few Scientists from the University of California San Diego claimed to discover this fantastic technology. 

The bio-metric lenses will be driven by signals generated by the movements of the eyeballs. In simple words, the eyeballs' movements (left, right, up, down) have been studied and converted into some meaningful signals, called electrooculographic signals. Those meaning signals charge will be fed to the bio-metric lenses, which will respond to those. The polymer-made lenses will expand or contract depending upon the electric impulses fed to them, and when they become more convex, they resulted in zooming in. It is reported that blinking twice of the eye will make the lenses zoomed in.
Contact Lenses Illustration 2

The more advancement of this technology can be used in "visual prostheses, adjustable focal length glasses or maybe in remotely operated robotics in the future," as quoted by a researcher of the said University. Lead researcher Shengqiang Cai further added, “Even if your eye cannot see anything, many people can still move their eyeball and generate this electrooculographic signal.”
For the time being, five electrodes are connected to the lens that will act as muscles. Scientists hope this technology shortly can be used to control mobile cameras remotely. 
Let us hope for the best and greatest.

All About Reon Pocket: Wearable Mini AC

An AC that accompanies you wherever you go. Sounds mind-boggling, right? However crazy the idea might seem to be, it is now made possible by Sony, who have come up with an innovative portable AC that can be worn with your clothes. The portable AC, called Reon Pocket, is smaller and lighter than a mobile phone. Sony says it has used the Peltier effect for this AC- a mechanism used in car and wine coolers. This device can be worn on the back or neck with dedicated inner-wears available in S, M, and L.

Reon Pocket


It releases cool air through a small rear panel. The device is equipped with a lithium-ion battery which can last for 90 minutes with two hours of charging. The temperature can be controlled by a smartphone which will be connected to the device via BlueTooth. Reon Pocket supports Bluetooth 5.0. This portable AC will cost about Rs 9000, which includes the price of inner-wears also. Currently, it is available only in Japan. Moreover, the dedicated inner wears are available for men only.
This mini AC might solve the discomfort caused when stepping out in the scorching heat of summer.

Shoelace: Google is Now Planning to Launch its Own 'Facebook' | 2021

Periscope Camera: Zoom into the Future | 2021

Zoom is a feature that people often use in smartphone cameras, but pictures get blurred and grainy. Smartphones being so slim, getting optical zoom higher than 2X was almost impossible. Well, at least it was so until now!

It has been possible to achieve optical zoom higher than 2X by a technology which is known as ‘Periscope Camera.’ Let us see how this camera works to provide higher zooming without compromising the image quality.

The basic structure of a periscope camera consists of a mirror in a prism, a lens, and an image sensor. The light is allowed into the prism, which bends the morning to 90 degrees. This light then passes through the lens to provide the necessary zoom and is then sensed by the image sensor to send signals to the smartphone. This arrangement allows the image sensor and the lenses to sit inside the phone instead of popping out, which would look very awkward. Also, the periscope camera sensor is perpendicular to the phone's back instead of parallel to it like other camera sensors.

Periscope Camera Structure

Recently Huawei has launched a smartphone (Huawei P30 Pro) equipped with a periscope camera that allows up to 5X optical zoom. Another smartphone that comes with this technology is the Oppo Reno which provides 10X optical zoom. Xiaomi is also working on a periscope lens smartphone camera, and it is expected to be delivered in upcoming smartphones. Below are some images which depict the zoom achieved by the periscope camera.

Origami is Being Used in the Space Technology

Almost all of us made this paper boat at some point in our life and played with this.
Photo : Paper Boat
Some of you might have pushed your limit and made this far also.
Photo : Paper Toys
Now, do you know what this art is called? It is called Origami- the art of folding paper and making some object/structure out of it.
Most of us knew this. Most of us also believe that these all are for fun only.

But will you believe that NASA scientists also apply the origami technique in launching rockets or satellites in the sky?

Allow me to explain.

Scientists try to make rocket hardware as small and concise as possible. They try to pack as much technology as possible into smaller space-bound packages.

Example: An well discussed such hardware is Starshade. Starshade is a giant flower-like design that will help astronauts or scientists to take pictures of different exoplanets. Taking a direct photo of exoplanets is difficult because of the brighter lights of suns and other stars.
Starshade is being designed to cover the bright lights so that the best photos of the celestial objects can be taken in space. You can see below.
starshade-technology-origami
Now the challenge was to launch that giant-sized flower through a rocket. So, scientists took the help of origami art to turn impossible into possibilities. And this is illustrated like this:
starshade-technology-origami 2
Now, you understand how your childhood-made-paper-boat-making technique is related to space-related rockets and satellites.
