WHAT IF...?

What if all the softwares were an open source...? What if you were able to change the design, the use of MS Word or Apple itunes...


       I know Microsoft and Apple wont do that. But how about if we are able to do, and design them the way we want like modifying a bike and giving a desired shape according to our choice. Let see how...
  The researcher says it can be done if one is able to change the pixels of the screen i.e. what an application shows can be changed to what we want.
        For eg. we are working on MS Word and want to play some music. The best option is to open the media player and then play the desired music. What if we add the buttons to the MS Word only...!
        They have named it as 'Prefab' which  takes advantage of the fact that almost all displays are made from prefabricated blocks of code such as buttons, sliders, check boxes and drop-down menus. Prefab looks for those blocks as many as 20 times per second and alters their behavior.
The researchers are continuing to develop Prefab and are exploring options for commercialization.


HOW PREHAB WORKS-



Prefab unlocks previously inaccessible interfaces, allowing people to add the same usability tool to all the applications they run on their desktop. The system could translate a program's interface into a different language, or reorder menus to bump up favorite commands.
 
The researchers hope Prefab will spur development of new innovations.Prehab also allows to produce many advanced effects like producing multiple previews of a single image in the photoshop.But at the back end
Prefab moves the sliders to different points, captures the output and then displays all of them on a single screen. This could save time by showing a range of effects the user frequently adjusts.

If this technology became a success,then their next target will be to use it in the mobile phones as well. Lets see what happens, wait for 14th april. As its first trail test will be held on 14th and the required changes would be done.

Hope for the best



With Regards...!
