Facts and Significant Events
3D Printer
• Hull was employed by a small
company that used ultraviolet lamps
to create durable coatings for tables.
Hull was given a small lab to
experiment in during his nights and
weekends when he offered a novel
approach to use UV technology—to
swiftly convert computer ideas into
functional prototypes. This led to
Augmented Reality
the development of the 3D printer.
• Margaret Sanger embarked on a
mission because she was fed up
with waiting for science or business
to focus on the issue. She was
looking for someone to carry out
her dream of a birth control pill that
was as simple to take as an aspirin.
Oral contraceptive pill
She yearned for a tablet that could
offer females low-cost, secure,
efficient contraception under their
control.
• Cheyer sought to develop a
computer assistant that would allow
users to assign jobs to it and access
Siri
a limitless quantity of data by
collaborating with all the computers
on the planet.

Description and function/s
Using a computer-generated design, 3D printing,
sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing,
is a technique for building three-dimensional
objects layer by layer. A 3D item is produced by
the additive method of 3D printing, which
involves building up layers of material.
A real-world environment is brought to life using
computer-generated perceptual information,
sometimes across many sensory modalities like
visual, aural, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.
This is known as augmented reality. A system that
combines the real and virtual worlds with real-
time interaction and precise 3D registration of
actual and virtual items is what is known as
augmented reality (AR).
The oral contraceptive pill, or “birth control pills”
is a form of birth control intended for female
consumption. The progestin and estrogen used in
the pill work together to stop or inhibit ovulation
(the release of an egg from an ovary). cervical
mucus is thickened to prevent sperm from
reaching the uterus. uterine lining thinned to
reduce the likelihood of a fertilized egg attaching.
Siri is Apple's personal assistant for iOS, macOS,
tvOS and watchOS devices that uses voice
recognition and is powered by artificial
intelligence (AI). Siri responds to users' spoken
questions by speaking back to them through the
