Photo505 (Digital Photo Effects) - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great and easy-to-use site that allows you to create professional looking Photoshop-style effects with little effort. Do you want to see yourself on the cover of Rolling Stone, as a painting in an art gallery, or as a tattoo? Select an effect from the front page, upload a picture, make any necessary adjustments (e.g. zoom in on face), and view the result. Just be aware that all original photos and the resulting images are publicly viewable.

Could Tag Technology Replace Google Search? | InventorSpot - 0 views

  • Many believe AR is the tipping point for mobile phones to supplant desktop searches in the next few years.


  • Tagword search on cellphones, like keyword search on desktops might become the dominant format to search for items in real-time.
  • Things in our real-world tagged with barcodes could provide much more information, which could Internet of Thingsthen be updated without having to change the original tag
  •  
    An article describing how AR apps for cellphones could provide users with location-based data using barcode tagging.

    "A new, federally funded project will test students' ability to learn fractions on mobile apps through the theory of "embodied cognition"-or, to put it in non-science speak, manipulating and moving images and information on screens with their fingers."

AR Aero - Strategic Plan - 0 views

  • The Vuzix AR Education Group video eyewear products are the first educational media tools that provide individuals with total flexibility to receive, send, and review training and detailed product information through an increasingly ubiquitous web-enabled communication device. This revolutionary approach assures that the most current training and educational information will always be accessible to those who need it where they need it, a necessity for businesses increasingly operating on a global scale.
  •  
    I was speaking with Chris yesterday and we agreed that it was going to be the entertainment industry that would pioneer this technology. At this point, it looks as if Vuzix core market and strategy for growing their AR library is business (training) and academia. The fact that you can see through the lens but ALSO see the 'broadcast' image is huge. Yesterdays AR demo would have been soooo much more immersive had we been able to keep one eye on the R (reality...cars, appraoching hornets, etc) and one I on the AR.

MakerBot Industries - Robots That Make Things. - 0 views

  •  
    Moving in the other direction of Virtual Reality, this inventor has come up with a machine or 'robot' that actually renders digital designs/artifacts into solid, 3-dimensional objects. Surprisingly the machine is pretty cheap and is sold as a kit that the user has to build on his own before turning a photoshop image of his long lost dog Booger into a 4x4x6 hard plastic idol to wear around neck. I jest, but from a 'learning from the whole' perspective, the entire process could be really engaging and educational.

See Rome as it is and as it was | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - 1 views

  •  
    Relating to the discussion last class about potential directions AR and mobile apps may go -- this iPhone app allows users to experience a location (in this case, Rome) as it existed in the past.  Provides images and historical info for all users, but if the user is actually at the Coliseum, it uses the iPhone camera + gps and presents actual 3D renditions of the past of whatever is in the user's viewfinder

This camera can capture things at the speed of light... - 0 views

  •  
    It isn't so much the fact that this camera can do what it can. It's how its inventor conceptualized the possibilities of firing packets of photons many times and capturing it to form an image. There were ripples of light! Amazing possibilities in store for the imaginative educator...

    This is another project by CAST which has been particularly relevant to the work our research project is involved with. For more information click on the link below: http://jlr.sagepub.com/content/43/1/68 This article was provided to us by our contact at CAST and attempts to validate this type of "Digital Reading Environment." It's also authored by Catherine Show of HGSE, and is just a year old. The statistical data is a little above my comprehension level but it is described at a level I can understand. CAST UDL Book Builder This wonderful and free online tool allows you to create your own interactive "books" to help young readers learn reading strategies to build comprehension. Enter your own text, images, and hints.

Apple Profiles the of Hands-On Tech in Educational Settings - 0 views

  •  
    In this feature, Apple profiles HOW their products are used in a variety of educational settings. It's one of the least 'promotion-based' sites I've seen from Apple in awhile... Typically, I'm cynical when a company "profiles" its own products; however, this one is done fairly well. This site could be a helpful model when attempting to demonstrate functional use of a product, highlighting the ends, not the means...

    Thanks for sharing this link! I know that there are some schools which have bought iPads and then didn't know what they were going to do with them. This community obviously had a clear idea of how to use them, what problems they were going to solve and how to assess their outcomes. Nice!

South Korean Prison To Feature Robot Guards - Forbes - 2 views

  •  
    I thought this was interesting following our discussion about Sherry Turkle yesterday. Robots assessing "risky behavior?" A South Korean prison will begin a month-long trial to see if robots make good prison guards. (Image Credit: Asian Forum For Corrections) The BBC reports that a jail in Pohang, South Korea, will soon begin a one-month trial of three new robots, which will be there in a support capacity to monitor for "abnormal behavior."

Redefining Learning Through Screencasting | Edutopia - 2 views

  • in the classrooms where I have been conducting research on student screencasting, one of the most remarkable and consistent unintended outcomes was that students, no matter how young or old, and no matter what discipline, intrinsically reflected, self-­assessed, and adjusted their articulation of understanding. Even when the screencasts were being made for an audience of zero, this phenomenon occurred. None of the teachers involved in the study ever instructed students to play back their screencasts or make revisions. The students just did it.
  •  
    This is a very interesting use of tablets in the classroom. Students are using iPads to create 'Screencasts' that allow the them to create a kind of 'tutorial' using a mixture of elements (audio, images, drawing and text) to showcase what they have learned.
