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

This computer has all the feature like a traditional computer, like, mouse, DVD, large screen display, mother- board, hard

drive, modem, LAN & WAN slots etc.

Designer Apostol Tnokovski has Replaced the good old PC from the shackles of the monotonous squares and

rectangular shape with his newly designed wonder in a spherical shape.

According to Apostol it is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody attention. It is the smallest PC ever made.

Size of E-Ball E-Ball is very small, it is having

only 6 inch diameter sphere. It is having 120×120mm

motherboard. Created by Apostol

Tnokopvski. Smallest PC ever made. 160mm round sphere.

WORKING OF E-BALL E-BALL is started by pressing and

holding the power button for 5sec. The projection will pops up.

E-BALL is designed in such that it can be fixed on two stands. E-BALL has two button on each side and the user can simply open this pc by pressing and holding them at a time.

Once you open the stand and turn the E-BALL on, then the optical mouse which is attach to E-BALL can be detected by pressing the button for

detection and now connecting the optical mouse as shown in previous fig. After we turn the pc on we can the projection will pop up now we can adjust projection focus, size by navigation button.

SCENARIOS OF USE:-

Making video presentation. Working in office. Watching movies. Listening music. Chatting on the net.

THE DISPLAY UNIT OF E-BALL

E Ball concept pc don't have any external display unit, it has a button when you press this button a projector will pop and it focus the computer screen on the wall which can be adjusted with navigation keys.

If there is no wall then it has a paper sheet holder that divides into three pieces like an umbrella just after popping upland it will show desktop on the paper sheet.

STRUCTURE OF WORKING ELEMENTS OF E-BALL

VIRTUAL KEYBOARD A virtual keyboard is a projection keyboard that is projected and touched

on any flat surface

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:-

1.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.

2.IR-LIGHT SOURCE:-

The Infrared Light Source emits a beam of infrared light. This light beam is designed to overlap the area on which the keyboard pattern projects.

This is done so as to illuminate the users fingers by the infra-red light beam.

3.THE PATTERN PROJECTOR:-

The Pattern Projector basically presents the image of the keyboard. This image can be projected on any flat surface.

The projected image is that of a standard qwerty-keyboard, with all the keys and control functions as in the keyboard.

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

E-Ball concept PC work very easy while you are making video presentations, listening music watching large screen movie, and chatting on the net.

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. Today’s 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.
