    Project K-Nect is designed to create a supplemental resource for secondary at-risk students to focus on increasing their math skills through a common and popular technology - mobile smartphones. Ninth graders in several public schools in the State of North Carolina received smartphones to access supplemental math content aligned with their teachers' lesson plans and course objectives. Students communicate and collaborate with each other and access tutors outside of the school day to help them master math skills and knowledge.

  • The Design for America contest is the Sunlight Foundation’s latest effort to modernize the United State’s information architecture and presentation. Their goal is “to make government data more accessible and comprehensible to the American public” by encouraging designers, artists, and programmers to reimagine government websites and to visualize government data and processes.
  • Provided you meet eligibility requirements, you can submit work to categories in Data Visualization, Process Transparency, and Redesigning the Government.

  • The Open Content Alliance (OCA) is a consortium of organizations contributing to a permanent, publicly accessible archive of digitized texts. Its creation was announced in October 2005 by Yahoo!, the Internet Archive, the University of California, the University of Toronto and others [1]. Scanning for the Open Content Alliance is administered by the Internet Archive, which also provides permanent storage and access through its website.
  • OCA's approach to seeking permission from copyright holders differs significantly from that of Google Book Search. OCA digitizes copyrighted works only after asking and receiving permission from the copyright holder ("opt-in"). By contrast, Google Book Search digitizes copyrighted works unless explicitly told not to do so ("opt-out"), and contends that digitizing for the purposes of indexing is fair use.
  • The OCA is, in part, a response to Google Book Search, which was announced in October 2004.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Microsoft had a special relationship with the Open Content Alliance until May 2008. Microsoft joined the Open Content Alliance in October 2005 as part of its Live Book Search project [2]. However, in May 2008 Microsoft announced it would be ending the Live Book Search project and no longer funding the scanning of books through the Internet Archive.[3] Microsoft removed any contractual restrictions on the content they had scanned and they relinquished the scanning equipment to their digitization partners and libraries to continue digitization programs.[3] Between about 2006 and 2008 Microsoft sponsored the scanning of over 750,000 books, 300,000 of which are now part of the Internet Archive's on-line collections.

    This wikipedia page talks about the OCA(Open Content Alliance). This website tells how this alliance is contributing to the growth of Open Content and how it is helping the idea of Open Content to become more widely used throughout the world.

  • It is also notable because the projector essentially turns any surface into an interactive screen.

  • Layar then shows information about restaurants or other sites in the area, overlaying this information on the phone's screen.
  • Using your phone's GPS and compass, Monocle will display information about local restaurants, including ratings and reviews, on your cell phone screen.
  • Urbanspoon
  • Wikitude,
  • Yelp's Monocle

  • Underlying most of these applications are a phone's GPS and compass; by knowing where you are, these applications can make sure to offer information relevant to you. We're still not quite at the stage of full-on image recognition, but trust us, people are working on it.
  • Total Immersion
  • makes software that applies augmented reality to baseball cards.
  • Move the card in your hands -- make sure to keep it in view of the camera -- and the 3-D figure on your screen will perform actions, such as throwing a ball at a target.
  • Consider a scavenger-hunt game that uses virtual objects. You could use your phone to "place" tokens around town, and participants would then use their phones (or augmented-reality enabled goggles) to find these invisible objects.
  • There's a "human Pac-Man" game that allows users to chase after each other in real life while wearing goggles that make them look like characters in Pac-Man.
  • Arcane Technologies
  • An AR-enabled head-mounted display could overlay blueprints or a view from a satellite or overheard drone directly onto the soldiers' field of vision.
  • has sold augmented-reality devices to the U.S. military.
  • Augmented reality still has some challenges to overcome. For example, GPS is only accurate to within 30 feet (9 meters) and doesn't work as well indoors, although improved image recognition technology may be able to help [source: Metz].
  • People may not want to rely on their cell phones, which have small screens on which to superimpose information.

      So could Augmented Reality take away the need for some jobs?
  • privacy concerns. Image-recognition software coupled with AR will, quite soon, allow us to point our phones at people, even strangers, and instantly see information from their Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, LinkedIn or other online profiles. With most of these services people willingly put information about themselves online, but it may be an unwelcome shock to meet someone, only to have him instantly know so much about your life and background.

      this is where customization comes in. Since we share information that anyone can see on the internet about us, then is there a problem with someone viewing that information upon meeting us? Since they could have access to it anyway....So those who do not want their information viewed by certain people should have the option to become "unlisted" or to clock the information form being viewed by certain people, just as Facebook allows for us to do in their privacy settings. people will be able to customize what information they are allowing others to have access to upon meeting them.
  • Despite these concerns, imagine the possibilities: you may learn things about the city you've lived in for years just by pointing your AR-enabled phone at a nearby park or building.
  • If you work in construction, you can save on materials by using virtual markers to designate where a beam should go or which structural support to inspect.
  • Paleontologists working in shifts to assemble a dinosaur skeleton could leave virtual "notes" to team members on the bones themselves,
  • artists could produce virtual graffiti
  • octors could overlay a digital image of a patient's X-rays onto a mannequin for added realism.

Visual data analysis enables data to be interpreted holistically by exposing contextually meanful attributes of the data set such as patterns, trends, structure, and exceptions. Visual data analysis may build upon prior logical processing via mathematical formulas, artificial intelligence or other automated mechanisms for analysis and improving data quality. Strictly speaking, visual data analysis primarily focuses on visual presentation of tabular views ready for human consumption.
