Kahn is credited with creating the first camera phone, [5] [6] being a pioneer for wearable technology intellectual property, and is the author of dozens of technology patents covering Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) modeling, wearable, eyewear, smartphone, mobile, imaging, wireless, synchronization and medical ...
In 1957, Kirsch's group developed a digital image scanner, to "trace variations of intensity over the surfaces of photographs", and made the first digital scans. One of the first photographs scanned, [ 7 ] a picture of Kirsch's three-month-old son, was captured as just 30,976 pixels , [ 8 ] a 176 × 176 array, in an area 5 cm × 5 cm (2" x 2 ...
The first photographic camera developed for commercial manufacture was a daguerreotype camera, built by Alphonse Giroux in 1839. Giroux signed a contract with Daguerre and Isidore Niépce to produce the cameras in France, [10]: 8–9 with each device and accessories costing 400 francs.
"When we built that camera, the argument was over," Sasson told The New York Times. "It was just a matter of time, and yet Kodak didn't really embrace any of it. That camera never saw the light of ...
The Science Museum has constructed two Difference Engines according to Babbage's plans for the Difference Engine No 2. One is owned by the museum. The other, owned by the technology multimillionaire Nathan Myhrvold, went on exhibition at the Computer History Museum [160] in Mountain View, California on 10 May 2008. [161]
With John Pinkerton, developed the LEO computer, the first business computer, for J. Lyons and Co: 1974 Catmull, Edwin: Computer generated imagery (CGI) and 3D graphics pioneer who developed texture mapping, the Catmull-Clark subdivision surface algorithm (with Jim Clark), and the Catmull-Rom spline (with Raphael Rom.
Anita Borg (1949–2003) – American computer scientist, founder of Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology; Bert Bos – Cascading Style Sheets; Mikhail Botvinnik – World Chess Champion, computer scientist and electrical engineer, pioneered early expert system AI and computer chess; Jonathan Bowen – Z notation, formal methods
This machine invented the principle of the modern computer and was the birthplace of the stored program concept that almost all modern day computers use. [52] These hypothetical machines were designed to formally determine, mathematically, what can be computed, taking into account limitations on computing ability.
