International events: World’s exposition “EXPO-2010”

The World’s Universal exposition “EXPO-2010” will kick off on May, 1. For the first time it will launch a Russian pavilion, which is going to display latest results in research and applications by Russian scientists, including communication and IT exhibits.

Russia will demonstrate virtual objects’ operating via Brain-Computer interface. This is a communication system, where all the commands for objects’ operating are sent directly from the human brain.

"ART Multitouch" technology makes use of 3D graphics based on the principle of simultaneous touch with several fingers. Program products, developed within the framework of this project, may prove useful for museums and galleries in creation of interactive video installations and electronic media galleries. Art-multitouch software may also come in handy in medicine, construction and other areas.

The exhibit named "SMART DESK" is a folding computer-aided desk with a built-in PC with a sensor screen, local light, block of interfaces, glass holder, ashtray, pencil case, web camera and other devices.
