Fans also can use 3D photo-capture technology to tag themselves in a panoramic stadium photo, search for clues and prizes and participate in a social challenge beyond the day of the match.
As researchers, they were inspired by the promise of 3D printing technology but frustrated by the price tag and complexity of truly high-quality machines.
The liquid-repellent coating developed by P2i can be found on the Alcatel One Touch 997, whereas HzO just announced a partnership with Atelier Haute Communication to apply its waterproofing technology to a forthcoming limited edition TAG Heuer Android phone.
The second reason cost matters so much is that while relatively few people in Congress and the media understand cutting-edge aerospace technology, they all think they understand what a price-tag means.
Of course, it's pretty dang difficult to cram enough technology and precious materials into something this size to ever begin to justify that million dollar price tag, but the supposed Blu-ray, SSD and "full" upgradability specs have all piqued our interest in a theoretical sense -- much more fun than slapping some shiny stuff on the case and calling it good.
