    Devices such as the Amazon Kindle, the Sony Reader, the Stanza iPhone application, and many others are changing how people access books and (more importantly) how authors reach readers. This video is a reprise of my presentation from BookCamp Vancouver 2009 - it provides an overview of the current state of the e-book market, an introduction to the technology, and a summary of the session's discussion on the ramifications of this disruptive development for publishers, authors, and readers alike

  • It is also notable because the projector essentially turns any surface into an interactive screen.
  • gathers GPS coordinates and pulls data from the Internet
  • for example, if he picks up a can of soup in a grocery store, SixthSense can find and project onto the soup information about its ingredients, price, nutritional value -- even customer reviews.
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • Layar then shows information about restaurants or other sites in the area, overlaying this information on the phone's screen.
  • Using your phone's GPS and compass, Monocle will display information about local restaurants, including ratings and reviews, on your cell phone screen.
  • Urbanspoon
  • Wikitude,
  • Yelp's Monocle
  • Wikipedia
  • Underlying most of these applications are a phone's GPS and compass; by knowing where you are, these applications can make sure to offer information relevant to you. We're still not quite at the stage of full-on image recognition, but trust us, people are working on it.
  • Total Immersion
  • makes software that applies augmented reality to baseball cards.
  • 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.
  • Arcane Technologies
  • An AR-enabled head-mounted display could overlay blueprints or a view from a satellite or overheard drone directly onto the soldiers' field of vision.
  • has sold augmented-reality devices to the U.S. military.
  • Augmented reality still has some challenges to overcome. For example, GPS is only accurate to within 30 feet (9 meters) and doesn't work as well indoors, although improved image recognition technology may be able to help [source: Metz].
  • People may not want to rely on their cell phones, which have small screens on which to superimpose information.
  • SixthSense
  • augmented-reality capable contact lenses and glasses will provide users with more convenient, expansive views of the world around them.
  • Screen real estate will no longer be an issue. In
  • There is such a thing as too much information.
  • ust as the "CrackBerry" phenomenon and Internet addiction are concerns
  • an overreliance on augmented reality could mean that people are missing out on what's right in front of them.
  • Some people may prefer to use their AR iPhone applications rather than an experienced tour guide,

      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.

    Description: Wireless networks, including Wi-Fi infrastructure and mesh networks, are becoming ubiquitous. It is critical to measure these networks to gain a better understanding of the traffic on the networks, the way they are used, and the response of the networks to different traffic patterns. It is also important to monitor operational wireless networks to improve security, capacity planning, and trouble shooting. Wireless networks pose unique challenges to measurement, however. In this talk I survey some of these challenges and describe some of the efforts underway to improve our ability to measure and monitor operational wireless network

2010 Horizon Report » Four to Five Years: Visual Data Analysis - 0 views

shared by Tanner B on 30 Mar 10 - Cached
  • 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.
