  • 5G Mobile Phones Will Change Our World 5G mobile phones represent a considerable improvements to the already eye opening Apple iPhone or Google Android units, which are just unveiling their own considerable opportunities. It seems that the status quo is only being established but as this kind of technology never hangs around for any period of time the so-called “5G” is likely to vanquish 3G really quickly. The 5G communication system will be based around extensive use of voice over Internet protocol, also known as VoIP. Data will be transferred at very high speeds and call quality will take a considerable step forward. How long do you think it will be before our once humble cell phone is promoted to the rank of virtual personal assistant? Whereas it was once just a talking device, an amazing number of features and flexibility will likely give us a huge number of choices to help us lead our daily lives. The cutting-edge equipment will surely make the best use of these new delivery methods.

Two to Three Years: Game-Based Learning « 2011 Horizon Report - 0 views

  • Developers and researchers are working in every area of game-based learning, including games that are goal-oriented; social game environments; non-digital games that are easy to construct and play; games developed expressly for education; and commercial games that lend themselves to refining team and group skills.
  • Gaming is an expansive category, ranging from simple paper-and-pencil games such as word searches all the way up to complex, massively multiplayer online (MMO) and role-playing games. Educational games can be broadly grouped into three categories: games that are not digital; games that are digital, but that are not collaborative; and collaborative digital games.
  • Research into games for educational purposes reveals some interesting trends. Early studies of consumer games helped to identify the aspects of games that make them especially engaging and appealing to players of various ages and of both genders: the feeling of working toward a goal; the possibility of attaining spectacular successes; the ability to problem-solve, collaborate with others, and socialize; an interesting story line; and other characteristics. These qualities are replicable, though they can be difficult to design well, and they can transfer to games featuring educational content.

  • Engineering. An engineering game called “Cool It”: An Interactive Learning Game for Cryogenics developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison teaches students about cryogenics by providing detailed information and feedback based on the engineering decisions they make when designing objects for this field. Music. Melody Mixer is a game developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that teaches music students how to read and compose music. It encourages students to experiment with sound and composition to better learn how pieces are constructed. Nursing. Professor Ann Burgess of Boston College’s Connell School of Nursing has developed a game called Virtual Forensics Lab that teaches students how to conduct forensics at a crime scene. The virtual game helps students develop critical thinking for solving crimes and piecing together evidence.

AFP: MIT researchers make 'sixth sense' gadget - 0 views

  • LONG BEACH, California (AFP) — US university researchers have created a portable "sixth sense" device powered by commercial products that can seamlessly channel Internet information into daily routines.The device created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists can turn any surface into a touch-screen for computing, controlled by simple hand gestures.The gadget can even take photographs if a user frames a scene with his or her hands, or project a watch face with the proper time on a wrist if the user makes a circle there with a finger.The MIT wizards cobbled a Web camera, a battery-powered projector and a mobile telephone into a gizmo that can be worn like jewelry. Signals from the camera and projector are relayed to smart phones with Internet connections."Other than letting some of you live out your fantasy of looking as cool as Tom Cruise in 'Minority Report' it can really let you connect as a sixth sense device with whatever is in front of you," said MIT researcher Patty Maes.Maes used a Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference stage in Southern California on Wednesday to unveil the futuristic gadget made from store-bought components costing about 300 dollars (US).The device can recognize items on store shelves, retrieving and projecting information about products or even providing quick signals to let users know which choices suit their tastes.The gadget can look at an airplane ticket and let the user know whether the flight is on time, or recognize books in a book store and then project reviews or author information from the Internet onto blank pages.The gizmo can recognize articles in newspapers, retrieve the latest related stories or video from the Internet and play them on pages.

  • As you discover this new industry with your surfing over the Internet, you will discover ePublishers and eBookstores gradually growing in numbers. Take a look at what they offer and what they have to say about their authors and titles. Thousands upon thousands of authors write books yearly. Of those, a small percentage have the good fortune of being accepted by a publisher. This is not because they don't make the grade, but because of the vast numbers

  • Researchers at the Indiana University School of Education are studying how to apply modes of learning that video game players use to master entertainment games. In December, they brought in middle school students to observe how and why they make decisions in game play. The researchers hope to design "serious games," which have education as an outcome goal.

  • I think the real thing Google brings to the table is introducing the feasible technology so that game companies can follow suit. I don't think the information in Google Street View is granular or clear enough to satisfy the needs of a game, but it might inspire an innovative game developer to mount a camera to a car and go capture the data in a similar fashion for their projects.That being said, Google Earth is a fascinating piece of software, and I would love to see some sort of online multiplayer experience that could take advantage of all that data
