3. 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.

4. Features of E-ball
 I -tech Virtual keyboard
 Dual core processor
 2GB RAM
 350-500GB hard drive
 Integrated graphics and sound card
 Speakers
 Wireless optical mouse
 LAN & WAN card
 Modem
 Web cam
 LCD projector
 Paper holder

5. 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.

6. 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.

7.  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.

8. 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.

9. STRUCTURE OF WORKING ELEMENTS OF E-BALL

10. 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.

11.  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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
