 INTRODUCTION
The E-Ball concept pc is a sphere shaped pc which is the smallest design
among all the laptops and desktops.

This concept PC will measure 160mm in diameter and it was designed for
Microsoft Windows OS.

This computer has all the features like a

traditional computer, like, mouse, dvd,
large screen display, mother-board,
hard drive, web came ,modem,
LAN& WAN slots etc.
 E-Ball is designed to be placed on two stands , opens by simultaneously
pressing and holding the two buttons located on each side
 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.

 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
Press and hold the power button for 5 sec.
Adjust the LCD projector.
Detach the optical mouse.
Activate the virtual keyboard.
Do whatever you want.
 VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
o A virtual keyboard is a projection keyboard that is projected and
touched on any flat surface

o Virtual keyboard basically uses the principle of sensor

technology and artificial intelligence to let users work on any
surface.
 Whenever we press the keyboard button, it is projected
optically on the flat surface and, as the user touches the image of
the key, the optical device detects the stroke and sends it to the
computer.

Virtual keyboard basically consists of three components:-

The Sensor Module:- The sensor module

serves as the eyes of the
Keyboard Perception technology.
The Sensor Module operates by
locating the user's fingers in
3-D space and tracking the
intended keystrokes.
 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES:-

Ability to minimize the risk for repetitive strain injuries.

Portability.
Accuracy.
Lack of need for flat or large typing surface.

DISADVANTAGES:-

It is very costly ranging from 150 to 200 dollars.

The room in which the projected keyboard is used should not be very
bright so that the keyboard is properly visible.
Virtual keyboard is hard to get used to. Since it involves typing in thin air,
it requires a little practice. Only people who are good at typing can use a
virtual keyboard efficiently.
 Projectors
E-BALL that is the concept pc basically uses LCD projector.

LCD stands for liquid crystal display. LCD projectors are systems that display
or project information or video onto a flat surface.

Video signals are comprised of three colors: red, green, and blue.

LCD projectors contain a separate glass panel for each. Each panel consists of
two plates of glass with a layer of liquid crystal between them.

When a charge is applied, the crystals open to allow light through or close to
block it. This opening and closing of pixels is what forms the image.
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.
ADVANTAGES:-
Portability.
Higher contrast.
Reduced pixilation.
Reliability.
Sealed optics this makes it better for use
in dusty environment.
Less screen door effect.

DISADVANTAGES:-
-Rainbow effect.
Light leakage.
High cost.
 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
Scenarios of use
 Advantages of E-Ball:
E-BALL is portable.

E-BALL has large memory.

E-BALL is useful for making video presentation.

E-BALL support user defined keyboard layouts.

E-BALL is efficient.

E-BALL is very easy to use.

E-BALL is more secure than other computer.

Disadvantages of E-Ball:
Normal operating systems cannot work in these
computers.

Cost of E-BALL is very high.

It is difficult to understand if any problems occur

in hardware part.
 CONCLUSION
As the year 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.

At last this ball technology has taken the computer technology to

new horizons.
