When Instagram users @mention a social contact and then tweet the photo, Instagram will automatically translate the user's Instagram handle to his or her Twitter handle.
Peter sent this to me from Tech, and I thought this is probably the most practical AR application I've seen yet. I'm sending the link to the AR team at GA Tech to see what they know about it.
Who, just realized that when we merge with the AI cloud we'll be able to translate all other species communication leading to a interspecies hivemind. Yes, I have been drinking.
Behold the world's first crowdsourced movie-poster campaign created through Instagram! It's the pinnacle of creative achievement! Sigh … humankind's obsession with the ubiquitous photo app continues, this time in Canada, where ad agency Taxi teamed with the Instagramers Montreal collective to create 87 posters promoting the new film J'Espère Que Tu Vas Bien, which roughly translates to Instagram Isn't So Great. Actually, it means I Hope You're Well, and the number of posters corresponds to the 87-minute running time of the movie, an experimental piece-entirely improvised, with no script written beforehand-that follows two friends as they saunter around Montreal. The Instagramers walked for 87 minutes, visiting locations used in the film, and submitted more than 600 shots all told.
University of Utah researchers have successfully translated brain signals into words, which could lead the way toward making it possible for paralyzed people to communicate with their thoughts. The scientists recorded the brain signals while the patient repeatedly read 10 words that could be useful to a paralyzed person: yes, no, hot, cold, hungry, thirsty, hello, goodbye, more and less. Though the team made a lot of progress, the research has still not reached the level of accuracy good enough for a device to translate a paralyzed person's thoughts into words spoken by a computer.
