  • We're already on the cusp of a fully-immersive 3D experience that could go mainstream. Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for its gaming console, for example, allows gamers to control their onscreen characters with body movements captured by 3D cameras. Sony's PlayStation Home offers a sharp, high-definition virtual world. Maybe these companies could teach Linden Labs a thing or two about advancing the technology and vision behind Second Life.
  • The learning curve for Second Life is also steep, no thanks to its cumbersome user interface. Even a mildly proficient Internet user might be put off.

Video Chat Becomes Social Networking's New Battleground - 0 views

  •  
    "On Wednesday, Facebook announced that it had partnered with Skype to let Facebook users call one another from their camera-enabled computers, simply by clicking on a button on a friend's Facebook profile or from the chat window. After a one-time download of Skype's technology, the video calls look to be painless and simple for anyone to use. Compare that to Hangout, Google's new video chat in its still invite-only social network Google+. Hangout is designed as a group chat application for impromptu socializing with friends. To start one, you press a button declaring you are open to hanging out, choose which circle(s) of friends to send the invite to, and up to 10 people can be in the room at any one time. The loudest talker gets the big space up top - and the group can collectively talk or even watch YouTube videos together. As young Marty McFly once said in a different context, your kids are going to love it."

    This seems to be the granddaddy of mVideo and mAPT. But for now, from what I can see, it still works on a post-processing scale - i.e. record, and THEN annotate, not allowing you to add comments or tags in real-time. (Yet.) But it seems like a very good source of revenue, offering educational licenses, etc.

VidWiki - Microsoft Research - 0 views

  • Recent efforts by organizations like Coursera, edX, Udacity and Khan Academy have produced thousands of educational videos logging hundreds of millions of views in their attempt to make learning freely available to the masses. While the presentation style of the videos varies depending on the author, they all share a common drawback: videos are time-consuming to produce and cannot be easily modified after release. With that in mind, we present VidWiki, an online platform to leverage the massive numbers of online students viewing videos to iteratively improve video presentation quality and content, similar to other crowdsourced information projects like Wikipedia. Through the platform, users annotate videos by overlaying content on top of the video, lifting the burden on the instructor to update and refine content.
