    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.

  • For nearly forty years, the keyboard and mouse have been the primary means to interact with computers.
  • Now, new devices are appearing on the market that take advantage of motions that are easy and intuitive to make, allowing us an unprecedented level of control over the devices around us. Cameras and sensors pick up the movements of our bodies without the need of remotes or handheld tracking tools.
  • It is already common to interact with a new class of devices entirely by using natural gestures.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • The Microsoft Surface, the iPhone and iPod Touch
  • , the Nintendo Wii, and other gesture-based systems accept input in the form of taps, swipes, and other ways of touching, hand and arm motions, or body movement
  • These are the first in a growing array of alternative input devices that allow computers to recognize and interpret natural physical gestures as a means of control.
  • As the underlying technologies evolve, a variety of approaches to gesture-based input are being explored. The screens of the iPhone and the Surface, for instance, react to pressure, motion, and the number of fingers touching the devices
  • Gesture-based interfaces are changing the way we interact with computers, giving us a more intuitive way to control devices.
  • urrently, the most common applications of gesture-based computing are for computer games, file and media browsing, and simulation and training
  • Because it changes not only the physical and mechanical aspects of interacting with computers, but also our perception of what it means to work with a computer, gesture-based computing is a potentially transformative technology.
  • The distance between the user and the machine decreases and the sense of power and control increases when the machine responds to movements that feel natural.
  • The kinesthetic nature of gesture-based computing will very likely lead to new kinds of teaching or training simulations that look, feel, and operate almost exactly like their real-world counterparts.
  • Larger multi-touch displays support collaborative work, allowing multiple users to interact with content simultaneously

  • 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.

    My ninth graders have completed a module documenting how to do various tasks in OpenSim, the virtual world we use that is hosted by Reactiongrid. This wiki has the links, instructions, and other pages with tutorials on how to do various items. I was assessing this today and thought I'd pass it along as there is some great information to show you how to do things. (If you are a beginning second lifer you may also learn some things.)

  • 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?
