C'est une entreprise canadienne qui a témoigné pour la première fois en France de la mise en place d'un réseau social d'entreprise (RSE) basé sur Tibbr. Originaire de Montréal, CGI emploie 31 000 salariés, répartis dans 20 pays avec une équipe de 160 personnes basée en France. Un chiffre appelé à être démultiplié si le projet de reprise de Logica se confirme. A l'instar d'autres grandes sociétés de services et de conseil présentes à l'international CGI était confrontée à deux grands défis interconnecter les collaborateurs et faciliter le partage d'informations...

3D printers, sensor networks, virtual humans and other technologies under development now will drastically change our world in the decade to come, according to Cisco chief futurist Dave Evans

Broadband internet access in general, and mobile broadband in particular, are becoming increasingly important to national economies and the personal lives of users.  In the US alone there  were about 84.4 million mobile broadband connections at the beginning of 2011, virtually the same as the number of fixed broadband connection (FCC 2011, Table 1).   Nevertheless, as with nearly all new technology, broadband availability and  adoption are  not diffusing as quickly in rural areas or  among certain minority groups.  This article presents an up to date view of the rural and minority digital divide based on latest statistics, showing that significant divides in both availability and usage persist.  The  potential for mobile broadband to be an engine of growth for rural economic development is then examined.  Mobile broadband  also  holds significant potential for urban areas as well, given  the  importance of broadband, particularly mobile broadband, for urban minority communities.

the new 'MR (mixed reality) system' by canon enables the viewing of full-scale, 3-dimensional CGI in real environments. the full-vision headset donned by users integrates not only video cameras and displays but also a positional and directional sensor that ensure that the virtual image is seen at the proper perspective relative to the viewer. canon refers to the system as 'mixed reality' to contrast it from a simple superimposing of imagery onto the real environment, since the digital imagery is explorable in realistic 3D thanks to these sensors.
