Bracelets and Google Glass could be used to form a virtual keyboard on any surface
- A team at Sweden's Mälardalen University is developing a system that combines a pair of bracelets with a wearable device such as Google Glass
- It create a virtual keyboard that only its user can see.
- The bracelets will be worn on the wrists or hands depending on the final design and will contain sensors that are able to see the positions of the finger tips, and movements of the user's hands.
- The data will be wirelessly relayed to a device and will display a keyboard within the user's field of vision.
- As the user taps their fingers on the real-world flat surface, the keys of the virtual keyboard will correspondingly be activated.

Harvard researchers find protein that could reverse the aging process
- Researchers from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute have shown that injections of a protein in to older mice, appear to cause a reversal of many signs of aging.
- The protein is also found in humans as well as mice, and is now being considered for possible human testing due to its surprising and apparently regenerative properties.
- The mice were regularly exposed to the blood of younger mice whose blood carried a higher concentration of GDF11.
- In terms of human applications, it is hoped that a drug derived from GDF11 will lead to a cure for conditions such as diastolic heart failure.
- Analysis showed that every major organ system tested displayed signs of improvement, with the protein even appearing to reverse some of the DNA damage which is synonymous with the aging process itself.
