  • It will create a web of layers, of parallel narratives and realities and enhance our experiences.
  • “Augmented reality allows people to visualize cyberspace as an integral part of the physical world that surrounds them, effectively making the real world clickable and linked,” says Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm.

  • As portable screens become practical (think iPad with camera), pervasive wearable computing becomes commonplace and surveillance technology evolves to being ubiquitous and transparent – society will evolve way ahead of government and law, who powerless to stop the flow of information on connected screens will be even more powerless to stop this flow moving into real space?

    Virgin Blue has launched a revolutionary, innovative new process to check in and board on domestic flights via a traveller's mobile called "Check-Mate". Gone are the days of booking the flight in advance at a desktop computer, getting to the airport, lining up to check-in and getting a printed boarding pass, with the new Check-Mate process eliminating all paper boarding passes in favour of electronic boarding passes on mobile devices including mobile phones, BlackBerry Smartphones and iPhones.

  • 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.

  • 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?
  • 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.
  • 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.

    For years we have navigated our way through unfamiliar locations by looking at guidebooks and matching their contents to what we see around us. What if we could look at both at once? This is the promise of augmented reality (AR), which uses computers and mobile phones to overlay additional information and images on what is visible to the naked eye.

      This webiste is dedicated to helping students find open course materials.
  • Anyone, anywhere, with an Internet connection — from Bill Gates down — can log on and download these materials without cost.

      Being able to download materials with no costs is the most appealing factor for students. In theory, a student can obtain a degree from a prestigious college by getting their materials online. This also gets rid of the cost of purchasing books.

    • Miller S.
      Miller S. on 30 Mar 10
       
      These are sites that help universities spread their open content ideas.
  • The OpenCourseWare Consortium, which grew out of the M.I.T. project, now includes over 200 institutions worldwide and offers materials from more than 13,000 courses. OpenCourseWare makes it possible to profit from some of the content that comes with $50,000 annual tuition at an Ivy League school, without paying that hefty price tag.
  • The idea driving the movement is that information should be freely shared.
  • someone must pay for these materials, and with the recession squeezing university budgets, open course programs are vulnerable.
  • For an annual cost of $125,000, or a mere 0.05 percent of the university’s $226 million budget, Utah State’s four-year-old OpenCourseWare program attracted 550,000 page views last year, making it one of the most popular in the United States, according to Marion Jensen, its former director.
  • The OpenCourseWare content is now being hosted on the DigitalCommons@USU Web site
  • how can professors and universities afford to give away the course materials that are their very livelihood?
  • The answer, says James D. Yager, senior associate dean for academic affairs at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, lies in why students pay to attend university in the first place. What OpenCourseWare offers, he notes, is not the full university experience: “We don’t offer the course for free, we offer the content for free,” Mr. Yager said by telephone in February. “Students take courses because they want interaction with faculty, they want interaction with one another. Those things are not available on O.C.W.
  • “O.C.W. is just the publishing of the content

visual data analysis

shared by Tanner B on 30 Mar 10 - No Cached
  • Visual Data Analysis (VDA) tool packages are powerful software tools that allow the development of complex solutions to visualize and analyze data.
  • The imaging features of a VDA package are often the most tangible aspect of the tool, but the overall effectiveness of a package is really based on its data manipulation and analysis capabilities.
  • A robust and flexible VDA tool should contain a broad range of mathematical, statistical and data manipulation capabilities, which are seamlessly tied to the visualization components through a high-level array-based scripting language.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Support for popular formats (XML, CDF, HDF, binary, ASCII, TIF) should be included in the base product, and services for customized data handlers should be available through the provider.
  • There are several factors that determine or impact performance, including use of pre-built data manipulation functions, limitations on data set size, parallelization, supported data types, and performance of the package's algorithms.
  • In general, the best performers will be the packages that support a broad range of data types, thus minimizing impact on memory requirements; support parallelization technology such as OpenMP; and have kernels optimized for visual data analysis.
  • Various techniques, solutions, and products are available on the market to visually analyze data, but few offer a full spectrum of visualization capabilities coupled with sufficient complementary analytical functionality.
  • In conclusion, a careful evaluation of key VDA tool characteristics, with the end solution in mind, should factor into the selection process to include the combined functionality, reliability, scalability, performance and portability of a VDA tool.
