A new technology that is being used by ASUS is all about appealing to all your senses, the sense of smell included. The Taiwanese Company and maker of Asus laptops is coming out with a new one that has been designed to affect the mood of the user by releasing 4 different scents. You don’t really scratch and sniff this laptop. It lets off it’s own fragrance by the use of cologne. They have somehow come up with a type of heat transfer that releases the scent from the laptop. This is accomplished with the use of a plastic film that has been scented and then put on the laptop. Asus says the scent can last between a minimum of three months up to about 6 months of scented release. When the weather is cold the scent lasts longer and when it’s hot or it is in a windy place, the scent will fade faster. Asus has made them so the laptop does not have to be turned on to release the scent. It comes in 4 scents that have been assigned to 4 different colors. The first scent is Musky Black on the black laptop. The second scent is Floral Blossom on the Pink laptop. The third scent is Aqua Ocean on the Blue and the last is Morning Dew on Green.

Asus kept the idea of scent laptops a secret while it was being designed. Designed with young adults in mind, the researches worked for about a year on the designs that will appeal to the young. The downside is that once the scent is gone, there is no way to replace it.

New Technology that will put laptops and the PC to an expanded use in the medical field is set to be released soon from London. Laptops and regular PC’s will soon be put to use in the detection of the early stages of Glaucoma. The software that would be used is almost complete and gives great hope for future early detection of Glaucoma. The software being developed is called the Moorefield’s Motion Displacement Test.

 For Glaucoma to be treated successfully it must first be detected and if it is found in the early stages there is a chance for improved treatments to be successful. The innovative technology that will soon be of help has been reported to be the end result of a nine-year development by a team of researchers at the Moorefield’s Eye Hospital Foundation Trust and the Department of Optometry and Visual Science in London. Also the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology was involved in the development of this new technology.

 The hope is to get this software available for download off the Internet so Eye Doctors everywhere will be able to use it to detect Glaucoma. This technology is on the cutting edge for ophthalmology testing and puts laptops and the pc at the center for new medical testing and diagnosis services that have been unheard of in the recent past.
