The four technologies that have reached a new threshold delineating G20 from G21 are advancements in data collection, storage, transmission, and presentation. I've posted a table that shows the progress from G19 - G21 in each of these technologies.
One of the most common uses for them is on mobile devices. 2d barcodes like QR Code or Datamatrix can activate phone functions - they can create an SMS for you to send, or send your mobile browser to a particular website. The entire URL can be stored in a 2d code thanks to it's greater data storage.
CopyCat is designed both as a platform to collect gesture data for our ASL recognition system and as a practical application which helps deaf children acquire language skills while they play the game. The system uses a video camera and wrist mounted accelerometers as the primary sensors.
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.
This listing of resources covers Visual Analysis. Visual analysis "blends highly advanced computational methods with sophisticated graphics engines to tap the extraordinary ability of humans to see patterns and structure in visuals."
This demo, from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT (and spearheaded by her student Pranav Mistry), was the buzz of TED2009. Sixth Sense is a wearable device with a projection screen that paves the way for profound, data-rich interaction with our environment. Imagine Minority Report and then some. (Recorded in February 2009 in Long Beach, California. Duration: 08:42.)
Baraniuk is working on building global relationships with authors, educators and leaners so they can "create, rip, mix and burn" learning materials to a global open-access repository. He is creating a knowledge ecosystem that will empower anyone to take content and make of it what they want; to be translated into any language or to imbed any data which is updated in real time.

You've never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called "developing world."
A major component of Total Immersion’s proprietary AR solution, markerless tracking enables an AR application to use natural targets to trigger the augmented reality experience.
“Mobile innovation continues to drive rapid change for business and personal interaction, and this spring’s CTIA educational program will address next generation technologies, new players and emerging opportunities,” said Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director for CTIA. “We are delighted that Bruno and Total Immersion will be contributing to the discussion.”
“Augmented reality is a new human interface, and as such, offers enormous potential to create engaging new experiences – especially using mobile platforms,” Uzzan said. “AR is already beginning to transform the way people see and interact in the world. It’s ushering in an age where destinations, data and details will be as close as a smartphone. AR can turn a simple cell phone into a marketing and information delivery device with seemingly limitless capabilities.”
