    A lot of excitement has been building around a category of iPhone and Android apps, most of which have yet to be approved or released. They are known as augmented reality apps. These applications combine virtual data into the physical real world by utilizing the iPhone 3GS or an Android phone's compass, camera, and GPS system. The result is that you can see things like the location of Twitter users and local restaurants in the physical world, even if they are miles away.

  • With the release of the iPad just weeks away, enhanced e-book apps are becoming a hot trend in publishing, with many major publishers announcing plans for enhanced titles.
  • "An eBook by itself is not enthralling; what's on it is. And we have the technology that allows us to do all of this. So why not use it?"

    AUSTIN, Texas, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- GetYa Learn On, LLC - an educational software company that created the innovative application called "Statistics I" - today released empirical findings from a pilot study conducted during the Fall semester of 2009 at Abilene Christian University (ACU). Students in an introductory Statistics class were given the new iPhone application which was used to supplement the instructor's lectures and for studying and test preparation. Statistics I is based on a rich Mobile Learning Platform™ that includes lessons, touch-screen simulations, calculators, decision making tools, quizzes, flashcards, formulas, and a glossary. The Statistics I app has been converted into an iPad E-Textbook and is under review for the grand opening of the iPad App Store.

  • Devices that can accept multiple simultaneous inputs (like using two fingers on the Apple iPhone or the Microsoft Surface to zoom in or out) and gesture-based inputs like those used on the Nintendo Wii have begun to change the way we interact with computers.

      The sentence expresses numerous examples of today's technology that incorporate gesture based computing.
  • Gesture-based computing allows users to engage in virtual activities with motion and movement similar to what they would use in the real world.

      The sentence briefly describes the definition of gesture based computing.
  • A number of mobile applications use gestures. Mover lets users flick files from one phone to another; Shut Up, an app from Nokia, silences the phone when the user turns it upside down; nAlertme, an antitheft app, sounds an alarm if the phone isn't shaken in a specific, preset way:

    Will the Joo Joo tablet pre-empt the itouch - not sure, but it sure looks cool and that it can surf the internet 9 seconds from being turned on is cool. Also looks to be an "e-book" type device as well. (Wonder if Amazon will make the kindle app on this device?)

  • One of the biggest buzz words in technology at the moment is the idea of Augmented Reality or AR as it's become known to its friends. Smartphone users will know it through apps like Google Goggles or Street View on the G1, both of which involve waving your phone out in front of you and looking at the world on your 3-inch LCD display along with a few computerised annotations.
  • Without meaning any disrespect to Total Immersion and what they've done, they're essentially using AR as a marketing gimmick and none of it is particularly useful to the consumer sitting at home in front of their machine.
  • Of course, the other bonus of our new and improved pocket computers, rather than just their mobility and connectivity, is that they have more than just cameras to get a measure of their surroundings. There are microphones that can detect wind or sound, accelerometers for movement, digital compasses to tell which direction we're facing and proximity sensors as well. Now we're in a place where we can really experiment with AR on a personal level and explore our worlds in a whole new way.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The same is true in the class room. How much more informative and inspirational would be 3D graphic images or footage of the human body and its internal organs, muscles, bones and tissues in action on your device, rather than just flat and still on the page of a text book?
  • In fact, as futurologist and mobile service specialist, Tim Haysom of the Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) points out, the car has probably the most powerful potential AR devices out there at the moment.
  • Once such devices are in place, then the possibilities start to become mind-blowing. Within five years there's no reason why we shouldn't be out there jogging in our Nike Sport glasses, which bring up information on our heart rates, pulled in from sensors against our temples, and running times in front of our eyes as well as even adding a visual warning for pollen information if that's important too.

  • the tablet often called an oversized iPhone is being looked at as a legitimate alternative to notebooks for road warriors. Enterprise Mobile Today has the report.
  • users expect the next generation of mobile devices to be a twofer as well -- something they can use for leisure activities as well as work.
  • Even though it's far from the first computer tablet, the iPad's friendly user interface and variety of applications (available via its iPhone-like App Store model) is expected to perk up what's been a relatively sleepy market for tablets that so far have mainly been sold for niche applications like order delivery.

    The Ipad is a great example of mobile computing because it is pretty much a mega sized version of the Iphone. The Iphone revolutionized mobile computing, and now the Ipad is even better. With about 35% of mobile users with smart phones, the internet is in high demand on the go. Cell phones usually have small and faded screens, vs the Ipad which has a huge screen and great graphics.
