Created as a promotion for Wellington Zoo (New Zealand), it allows printed codes to come to life using a mobile phone. As you move your mobile phone camera around the code, a virtual 3D model rotates, pans and zooms as if it were an invisible spectre standing on the surface, viewable only through the camera lens: Related: QR Codes used in Japan Video Demo QR Code Example: More About: Mobile , Print , Device , Material , Materia

The Evolution of the Classroom Chalkboard & Edusim
2007-11-25 23:29:00 It is my belief that Edusim is an evolutionary step in what started with the classroom chalkboard. The chalkboard gave way to the dry erase board, then that to the electronic surface doing digitally what the user once did on the dry erase surface - and now a surface with a multi-user virtual environment, the surface as a view literally "into another world" In the words of Julian regarding Edusim on a wall using an eBeam device The result is an on demand and relatively low cost interactive white board solution ($800-900 US) that, in combination with a data projector ($600-2,500 US) and Croquet software (free), may represent the beginnings of an economical alternative to traditional in-classroom visual communication boards (the typical front-of-the-classroom whiteboard/bulletin board installation is comparable in price). Could this be the earliest manifestation of a new form of broadly available classroom media for K-12? ... inventing the future ! More About: Evolution

2007-11-16 16:49:00 As you know I have frequently posted about how a nation wide broadband wireless network iwll dramatically change what mobile devices we use and how we use them... in school, work, and play... And with the Jan. spectrum auction soon to come .... Google starts to show its hand.. first with Android ... now with a bit more regarding their spectrum plans: [via http://www.computerworld.com] The company is prepared to bid on its own without any partners, the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter. The newspaper said Google is working out a plan to finance its bid -- which could run to $4.6 billion or higher -- that would rely on its own cash and possibly some borrowed money. No one at Google was immediately available to comment. Google is running a test version of an advanced wireless network at its Mountain View, California headquarters, gaining operating experience that could come in handy if it wins the spectrum and decides to run a full-scale national mobile carrier, ...

The ones I call the "Play Station Generation" : Here comes "Generation V"
2007-11-14 20:33:00 You heve heard me refer to them as the "Play station Generation" - Computer world has an interesting article (refering to them as Generation V). Article here: http://tinyurl.com/ywc7kh The latest group, dubbed Generation Virtual, or V, is made up of people from multiple demographic age groups who make social connections online - through virtual worlds, in video games, as bloggers, in social networks or through posting and reading user-generated content at e-commerce sites like Amazon.com, said Adam Sarner, senior analyst at Gartner. The V generation is made up of people who are drawn to the Internet's "flat meritocracy" where people can gain status and acknowledgement through ways - like providing advice or recommendations or excelling at a video game - not generally available in the physical world. Basically, Generation V is made up of people who replace physical experience with an online experience, Sarner added.

The real impact of the IPhone & Android
2007-11-13 22:54:00 The Iphone and the Google android interface are leading the charge for the direct manipulation interface ..... This will be huge in the fact that it is just the start of the direct manipulation movement (I think) on a grand scale ... changing the way people interact with their technology (directly from the screen - its not a new technology but seem to be approaching the tipping point quick !).... namely by using natural input and direct manipulation (their fingers to do natural thing on the screen) which we show with Edusim. Having these huge companies pushing the direct manipulation movement will undoubtedly work its way into almost everything in time .... and in time making things like our Edusim with direct manipulation and natural input our a virtual environment in the classroom very compelling... None the less many things are merging together to form almost a perfect storm in the coming years for the direct manipulation and natural input movement... It should be exciting to ...
