Perhaps, we might expect more animated cartoons and games produced with the assistance of this device, well who knows. You can locate the 3D printer nearby to have the cloning process be not only the business of genetics.

HP has deduced that all you need to handle the scan process is the simple visor with a 14,6MP camera and Intel RealSense 3D camera for the all-in-one 23-inches display PC with a FullHD touch-screen. By the way, it also includes an actual lamp and 1024×767 DLP projector with a microscopic mirrors, based on matrix disposition type and semi-conducting chipset for overlaying graphics onto the work area. The work area itself actually is a damage ultra-resistant 20-inch 20-point multi touch keyboard coated with a scratches and abrasion immune casing, as all the damage done to the area surface may create a distortion for the objects scanned.

Inside the all-in-one PC there's a powerful Fourth Generation Intel Core i7-4790S, discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 745A with 2GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM with a possibility to upgrade it to 16GB, 1TB of hybrid SSD drive with 8GB of flash acceleration, 1MP web-camera, 2хUSB 2.0 and 2 ports of USB 3.0, SDXC port for additional memory cards, HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, Dualband Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4,09, four front speakers, and a small 10W subwoofer.

Such power should not stay workless.

There are also other means to create the gaming characters or surrounding objects of any level of difficulty. The HP Sprout is already offered for sale at the official site, but the shipping will be available only on the 9th of November. The starter kit price is $1899. As the best 3D modeling device the PC will be an excellent choice for those who think that the both realities unification is not just a simple word, but a mission or hobby making their dreams come true. Creating illusion, fairy-tale or game - this is why HP has created the 3D PC scaner having the same dreams of their own.

Amazon Echo is an another home robot to follow your commands! Welcome to the future again!

If you remember Jibo, then robots is your next kin of family and you think about it as of a friend, not as of an enemy aiming to conquer the humanity. And that is correct, because the Artificial Intelligence has not reached the required level of intellect to cause the war between our races. Thinking of it, is actually funny. And the possibility of this act would meaningless... supposedly for this decade at least.

Amazon Echo is one of it. It's quite useful, if you watch the demo trailer below. And actually, it's quite hard to describe the new comer using the simple words. As you can understand the robot should have the ability to understand the verbal conversation, as it would not be a robot without such a function. Indeed, Echo is capable to listen you and reply logically to your needs.

Let's pretend we are in a room of your house, where a cute coffee table is dislocated in the center of it. And when you come in and ask to play your favorite music, the cylinder shaped stick on it really does the thing asked. What would you think of it? The robot listens to you and does exactly what it was asked to. Amazing! All you have to do is add "Alexa" or "Amazon" phrase in the beginning of your command. Believe it or not, but it really works, as we see the trailer that shows such functionality.

Besides listening to your commands and replying  to it, the device is capable to extend its potential by uploading more information to its Cloud Memory space in order to have more skills to answer you. The family robot can answer everybody's request, such as time now, weather forecast, music playing and a lot of other app configurable stuff.

The solid cylinder like vase looks very good on any surface of the room. It has a 2.5-inch speaker all around the body having its third part of the total surface and a mic on the top of the casing capable to hear a normally spoked voice from every corner of the room not requiring a loud speaking to accept a command. And when it accepts a command, the LED lighting accompanies the robot's reply.

The Echo friend can advise you the time, date, arrange a timer for your cooking or alarm clock to awake you in the morning. The device can also add or remove the required things to do to your "Do list" or products to your "Buy list". Another essential requests are taken from Wikipedia, if you want to know the height of the certain mountain, for example.

You can also manage the device through your smartphone remotely to make a surprise to a person you're in love sitting in a guest room with no suspicion of your activities. The robot might become the weapon of your imagination, so choose wisely how to use it.

The e-butler could make your life more interesting at a simple price of $200 and if you're a Prime user, the price would decrease $100 less, but you should get an invitation for it.
