The event comes just weeks after the release of the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-touch-id-fingerprint-sensor-on-new.html">iPhone 5s</a> and iPhone 5c. Rumors have suggested that the event will focus on an updated full sized <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/08/inspiration-maps-for-ipad-mind-mapping.html">iPad</a> and an updated <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/apple-announces-ipad-mini.html">iPad mini</a>. The full size iPad will likely feature a new design with smaller side bezels similar to the iPad mini's design. It is also possible that the new iPad models will include some of the new features found on Apple's latest iPhone possibly even the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-touch-id-fingerprint-sensor-on-new.html">Touch ID finger print sensor</a>. Of course all of this remains speculative until Apple officially confirms the details. If you are in the market for a new iPad it is difinitely recommended to wait and see what Apple will announce next Tuesday.

3D Printers Have Enormous Potential To Help Blind

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/01/cubex-3d-systems-printer-basketball-1-edit-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="265" src="http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/01/cubex-3d-systems-printer-basketball-1-edit-2.jpg" title="picture of 3D printer printing a basketball sized object" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3D printers are still new in the consumer technology market, but  3D printers have huge potential to help the blind and visually impaired. To be clear this technology is still in its infancy. Imagine a blind student reading about a geometric figure or a molecule, but who cannot understand the make up or configuration of the object. A sighted user might be able to gather the necessary information through an image but a blind student might need hands-on time for a better understanding of the object. This is where the 3D printer comes into play. If a digital 3D file is available the blind student could print out the object quickly right in their home or classroom. 3D printers typically print a model layer by layer in plastic A blind person could print a model of a building or car in order to gain a better understanding of the architecture or design. As shown in the above picture some current 3D printers can print objects the size of the basketball. The the student could feel and examine the object. For this promising technology to become a reality pricing would have decrease to allow schools or individuals to purchase the devices. Also, content creators would have to make printable 3D files available for public use.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Click read more below to watch videos about 3D printers.</div><a name="more"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yTh0rzCXefQ?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ULwMAkE1eJk?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div>
