 Introduction
• The E-Ball concept pc is a sphere shaped pc which
is the smallest design among all the laptops and
desktops.
• It is designed for Microsoft Windows OS.
• This computer has all the feature like a traditional
computer, large screen display, mother- board,hard
drive, web cam ,modem,LAN& WAN slots etc.
• E Ball is designed to be placed on two stands,
open by simultaneously pressing and holding the
two buttons located
 History Of E-ball
• 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.

• It is definitely small when it comes to the size but as they say

all good things come in small packages, this tiny round PC is
no exception.

• It is loaded with all features that you can only dream of to

have in a regular PC. It comes packed with a projected
keyboard and display.
 The components 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
 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.
 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.

 FEATURES OF E-BALL
• It contains wireless optical mouse and laser
keyboard, and LCD projector.
• It has around 350-600GB of Hard Disk Drive.
• It contains 5GB RAM.
• It has two 50W speakers.
• It has LAN and WLAN card and a Web cam.
• i-tech Virtual keyboard
• Dual core processor Integrated graphics and
sound card.
• LCD projector Paper holder
Elements of E-Ball
 Working of Interface
• Opening the stands
• Press and hold the power button for 5 sec.
• Detach the optical mouse.
• Activate the virtual keyboard.
• Adjust the LCD projector.
 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:-

The Sensor Module:-

The Sensor Module operates by
locating the user's fingers in
3-D space and tracking the
intended keystrokes.
• 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.

• The Pattern Projector:-

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

• When connected to your handheld computer it

is more convenient to carry around than your
laptop.
• It takes up less desk space than a conventional
keyboard.
• You could use it with your desktop, laptop or
handheld computer.
Advantages:
• Portability
• Accuracy
• Speed of text entry
• Lack of need for flat or large typing surface
• Ability to minimize the risk for repetitive strain
injuries
• Flexibility
• Keyboard layouts can be changed by software
allowing for foreign or Alternative keyboard
layouts.
 PROJECTOR
• E Ball computers uses LCD projectors.
• LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.
• LCD projectors are system that display or
project the information or video on to a
plane surface .
• Video signals are comprised into 3 colors –
• Red
• Blue
• Green
 LCD Projector
• LCD projectors contain a separate glass panel
for each. Each panel consists of two plates of
glass with a layer of liquid crystal between
them.
• When a charge is applied, the crystals open to
allow light through or close to block it. This
opening and closing of pixels is what forms the
image.
 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.
• No need of external display.
• 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.
• E-BALL has greater speed.
• Motivation for further research
 Disadvantages of E-Ball
• Normal operating systems cannot work in these
computers.
• Needs careful typing with the virtual keyboard
• Plane surface required for keyboard.
• Cost of E-BALL is very high.
• It is difficult to understand if any problems occur
in hardware part.
• The room in which the projected keyboard is used
should not be very bright so that the keyboard is
properly visible.
 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.
