Google Project Wing

Hello Friends ....

Today we learn about What is Google Project Wing...?

So let's Start....

Google is one of the most pervasive companies in the world, with its technology stretching far beyond its original search-engine origins. A subsidary of its parent company, Alphabet, has also been looking to expand into the skies for the past few years.
Alphabet's innovation arm, now known as X but previously called Google X, has been developing Project Wing – an initiative that looks to deliver goods on demand, from shopping to medicine supplies and even burritos.

What is Project Wing? 

Project Wing is a delivery drone development project that is looking to be the 'next generation' of the technology, says the company’s website.
The first flight took place in Queensland, Australia and the company has run tens of thousands of trial flights since.
It’s not just drones the company is interested in, but also the infrastructure around drone flying. Project Wing has developed an unmanned airspace traffic management platform to allow multiple drones to fly with other air borne gadgets.
In September 2016, this was tested at an FAA-approved test site run by the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership.

Where has Project Wing been tested? 

The drones have been tested in Queensland and also in labs at X in Mountain View and in rural airfields in California. 


How does Project Wing work? 

The drones fly at altitiudes of under 500 feet and the current prototypes have fixed wings like an aeroplane, rotors like a helicopter and a wingspan less than 1.5 metres.
The aircraft avoid bumping into one another by flying on pre-planned routes and using sensors and software to detect other drones.

Project Wing and food deliveries

In October, James Ryan Burgess, co-lead of Project Wing, published a blog post detailing how the company has been making food deliveries in Australia. In the rural location where the drones are tested, residents face a 40 minute round trip for any basic goods they may have forgot on the weekly shop. 
Working with a local Mexican restaurant, the team managed to turn the dream of burrito deliveries by drones into a reality.

What is Cheat Codes in Video Games...?

Hello Friends .... Today we learn about  What is Cheat Codes in Video Games...? So let's Start.... Cheating in video games involves a video game player using non-standard methods to create an advantage or disadvantage beyond normal gameplay, in order to make the game easier or harder. Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge). They can also be realized by exploiting software bugs; this may or may not be considered cheating based on whether the bug is considered common knowledge. Cheat codes originated in the play testing phase of video game development where the creators want to test certain portions of the game. So there's codes intentionally put in to make that process easier, such as having a near-infinite amount of lives to progress through a difficult (even for its creators) game like Contra. Who finds the ch...

How Mobile Phones get Slower....?

Hello Friends .... Today we learn about   How Mobile Phones get Slower....? So let's Start.... If you’ve had your Android device for a while, you’ve probably started to notice some lag that wasn’t there before. Apps load a bit slower, menus take a bit longer to show up. This is actually (and unfortunately) normal—here’s why. This problem isn’t unique to Android, either—try using an older iPad with a new version of iOS and feel how slow it’s become. But the solutions are slightly different for each platform, so let’s talk about why this happens on Android—and how to fix it. Operating System Updates and Heavier Apps Require More Resources Your Android phone doesn’t have the same software it had a year ago (it shouldn’t, at least). If you’ve received Android operating system updates, they may not be as nicely optimized for your device and may have slowed it down. Or, your carrier or manufacturer may have added additional bloatware apps in an update, which run in the ba...

How Light Gun Works..? Duck Hunt Game Explained..!!

Hello Friends .... Today we learn about How Light Gun Works..? Duck Hunt Game Explained..!! So let's Start.... A light gun is a pointing device for computers and a control device for arcade and video games, typically shaped to resemble a pistol. In aviation and shipping, it can also be a directional signal lamp. Modern screen-based light guns work by building an optical sensor into the gun, which receives its input from the light emitted by on-screen target(s). The first device of this type, the light pen, was used on the MIT Whirlwind computer. The light gun and its ancestor the light pen are now rarely used as pointing devices due largely to the popularity of the mouseand changes in monitor display technology—conventional light guns work only with CRT monitors For many children of the '80s, a good portion of your childhood probably revolved around sitting too close to the TV, clutching a plastic safety cone-colored hand gun and blasting waterfowl out of a pi...
