  • intended to provide a wireless metering capability to local utility companies.
  • After successful completion of the testing phase, the wireless broadband project is expected to expand throughout Nairobi, followed by expansion to additional cities and countries throughout East Africa.
  • Through a roll-up strategy, NuMobile plans to acquire and develop mobile computing solutions for a variety of applications, including mobile banking, for the global marketplace. The demand for mobile security and software applications is being driven in large part by the growing number of mobile phone sales into emerging economies that currently do not have substantial access to the Internet via desktop computing.

    NuMobile is a system that is being set up in Nairobi, Kenya. Its intentions are to run a wireless broadband network so local businesses can become more successful. If this project runs correctly, there is talk to set up one through out East Africa. NuMobile also plans to develop mobile computing because of the high number of people with cell phones, and also the difficulty of reaching rural areas with the broadband.

  • 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.

      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 blends highly advanced computational methods with sophisticated graphics engines to tap the extraordinary ability of humans to see patterns and structure in even the most complex visual presentations.
  • Data collection and compilation is no longer the tedious, manual process it once was, and tools to analyze, interpret, and display data are increasingly sophisticated, and their use routine in many disciplines.
  • In advanced research settings, scientists and others studying massively complex systems generate mountains of data, and have developed a wide variety of new tools and techniques to allow those data to be interpreted holistically, and to expose meaningful patterns and structure, trends and exceptions, and more.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Researchers that work with data sets from experiments or simulations, such as computational fluid dynamics, astrophysics, climate study, or medicine draw on techniques from the study of visualization, data mining, and statistics to create useful ways to investigate and understand what they have found.
  • The blending of these disciplines has given rise to the new field of visual data analysis, which is not only characterized by its focus on making use of the pattern matching skills that seem to be hard-wired into the human brain, but also in the way in which it facilitates the work of teams working in concert to tease out meaning from complex sets of information.
  • it possible for almost anyone with an analytical bent to easily interpret all sorts of data
  • Many are free or very inexpensive, bringing the ability to engage in rich visual interpretation to virtually anyone.
  • Online services such as Many Eyes, Wordle, Flowing Data, and Gapminder accept uploaded data and allow the user to configure the output to varying degrees.
  • By manipulating variables, or simply seeing them change over time (as Gapminder has done so famously) if patterns exist (or if they don’t), that fact is easily discoverable.
  • The promise for teaching and learning is further afield, but because of the intuitive ways in which it can expose complex relationships to even the uninitiated, there is tremendous opportunity to integrate visual data analysis into undergraduate research, even in survey courses.
  • Visual data analysis may help expand our understanding of learning itself. Learning is one of the most complex of social processes, with a myriad of variables interacting in highly complex ways, making it an ideal focus for the search for patterns.
