    New ways people entertain - real life imitating software.
  •  
    Real Life Photoshop Desktop -- cool looking, but imagine how LONG this took to make! I could see something like this to teach about a software program you REALLY had to know. This is very cool. New trend: Real Life imitating software.

    Interesting information on virtual reality.
  •  
    Fascinating study that sounds like it is for just commercial use, but some great information on virtual reality is embedded. I'll be blogging some reflections on this this week.

TELEPORT - A 3D Telepresence System - 0 views

  • The TELEPORT environment is designed to overcome disadvantages of desktop videoconferencing and to establish life-like conference sessions that bring people together as if face-to-face. The system consists of a real room with one wall entirely covered b a display surface. Onto that surface a virtual extension of the real room is projected. As the local participant moves, his location is tracked ­ thus allowing the synthetic scene to be rendered with the correct perspective.

    The next evolution of connecting the world online - a great topic for a video.
  •  
    Would love to see us look into 3D learning as well - from an older article in 1997.

    Great museum of newpaper covers showing the results of the presidential election.
  •  
    Front pages of newspapers from today from www.newseum.org -- this is a great read on the history of today. (Thanks Will Richardson for the link.)

Tuttle SVC: 2008 Winners: FiveThirtyEight.com - 0 views

  • If I was someone who gave lots of talks at ed-tech conferences about "Web 2.0" and such, I'd definitely add a piece about the success of FiveThirtyEight.com. Since over three and a half million people visited the site last month (beating out established blogs like Talking Points Memo, for example), there is a pretty good chance you've already seen it.
  •  
    Read this if you're covering politics and take a look at the fivethrigtyeight.com blog.
  •  
    Tom HOffman shares some of the background story of fivethirtyeight.com - a great story of collaboration and work and how "no names" become somebody with hard work, intelligence, persistence, and a commitment to "do it right" sans an agenda.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right - 0 views

  •  
    GREAT site to take a look and understand how Web 2.0 figures into the elections.
  •  
    This website had a TON of hits this past month -- in the millions -- 3 people and some spreadsheets did this. (See Tom Hoffman's post for more on it.) I think this is something that the students of the Flat Classroom Project will need to integrate into their work.

  •  
    This freeware lets you figure out what a song is - just download, install and play the song into your computer.
  •  
    OK, so you want to figure out what that song is? Download Tunatic and play the song and it will recognize it. This is so cool!!! Search engines aren't just for text any more. This is very useful.

Swedish technology: cell phone vibrations might let us watch soccer games wit... - 0 views

  •  
    Look at how this will work with wireless, another good idea for a movie.
  •  
    An area of explosive growth that is beginning to emerge is the integration of other senses than sight and sound -- smell, touch, taste, etc. and this is an example of how a company is planning to use the sense of touch to let a person follow a soccer game. Don't know if anyone would do it, but if everybody thinks it is a good idea, as a rule, you're too late.

iTrail iPhone Application - iTrail - 0 views

  •  
    iTrail application for the iPhone.
  •  
    iTrail lets the iphone track your gps coordinates while doing physical activity. Still not entirely accurate, this runs best on the iPhone 3G, one of those things that will "get there" eventually.

    Another 3d virtual world
  •  
    A new 3D world to explore. I believe we're going to see an increasing proliferation of these. Linden Labs has had the monopoly (and still does), however, there are some key areas that they have not listened to their users - with the teen and lack of an educational grid as an example.
