INTRODUCTION
• The E-Ball is a sphere shaped computer concept which is the smallest
design among all the laptops and desktops have ever made.
• Created by Apostol Tnokopvski
• It’s not going to be like a PDA, it’s going to be a PC with all conventional
components namely mouse, keyboard and screen.

3
Size of E-Ball
• E-Ball is very small, it is having only 6 inch diameter sphere.
• It is having 120×120mm motherboard.
• Smallest PC ever made.
• 160mm round sphere.

4
The start of E-ball

5
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

Elements of E-Ball

7
Working of E-Ball:
• Key board :Infrared rays & laser
• Mouse: RF receiver & RF transmitter
• LCD projector

8
Projectors which can be
used in E-ball are
1. LCD projectors
•DLP projectors

2. DLP projectors

LCD projector.

10
Contd…
• Metal halide lamp is emitting the light.

• Series of di-chroic filters are separates light.

• 3 polysillicon panels placed in red, blue, green color's

• These primary color's are making the image.

• Metal halide lamps outputs an ideal color temperature.

11
Advantages of LCD
• LCD is generally more light efficient than DLP.
• 3 LCD projectors can project bright, vivid images with a low
output lamp.
• 1000 lumen LCD is more preferred than 1200 lumen DLP .
• LCD trends to produce a sharper image.
• More accurate color.
• Sharper image
• More light efficient.

12
Disadvantages
• More bulky as there are more internal components.
• Dead Pixels.
• LCD panel can fail
• Screen door effect.
• Contrast.
• Portability.
• Image degradation.

13
DLP projectors.
• DLP-Digital Light Processing.

• 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.

14
Contd..

15
Advantages
• Portability.
• Higher contrast.
• Reduced pixilation.
• Reliability.
• Sealed optics this makes it better for use in dusty
environment.
• Less screen door effect.

16
Disadvantages
• Rainbow effect.

• Light leakage.

• High cost.

17
Laser keyboard
(virtual keyboard)
•A projection keyboard is a form of computer input device
 whereby the image of a virtual keyboard is projected onto a
surface: when a user touches the surface covered by an image
of a key, the device records the corresponding keystroke

18
Technologies used:-
• In one technology, the keyboard is projected optically
on a flat surface and, as the user touches the image of a
key, the optical device detects the stroke and sends it
to the computer.
• In another technology, the keyboard is projected on an
area and selected keys are transmitted as wireless
signals using the short-range Bluetooth technology.

• With either approach, a virtual keyboard makes it possible

for the user of a very small smart phone or a wearable
computer to have full keyboard capability.

• Theoretically, with either approach, the keyboard can be in

space and the user can type by moving fingers through the 19
air!
Reasons to use the virtual
keyboard.
• When connected to your handheld computer it is more
convenient to carry around than your laptop.

• It takes up less desk space than a conventional keyboard.

• You could use it with your desktop, laptop or handheld

computer.

20
Advantages:-
• Portability

• Accuracy

• Speed of text entry

• Lack of need for flat or large typing surface

• Ability to minimize the risk for repetitive strain injuries

• Flexibility

• Keyboard layouts can be changed by software allowing for foreign or

Alternative keyboard layouts. 21
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

22
Contd....

23
Scenarios of use

24
The software interface
The software interface of E-Ball concept pc is highly stylized
with icons that can be remembered easily that support all
type of windows operating system.

25
Advantages of E-Ball:
• It is portable.

• E-Ball has large memory.

• Useful for making video presentations.

• These have greater speed.

• Supports user-defined keyboard layouts

26
Disadvantages of E-Ball:
• Normal OS can’t work in these computers.

• Cost of E-Ball is very high.

• It is difficult to understand if any problems occur in hardware

components.
