Komox37. Skinput. Devices with significant computational power and capabilities can now be easily carried on our bodies. However, their small size typically leads to limited interaction space (e.g., diminutive screens, buttons, and jog wheels) and consequently diminishes their usability and functionality. Since we cannot simply make buttons and screens larger without losing the primary benefit of small size, we consider alternative approaches that enhance interactions with small mobile systems. One option is to opportunistically appropriate surface area from the environment for interactive purposes. For example, Scratch Input is technique that allows a small mobile device to turn tables on which it rests into a gestural finger input canvas. However, tables are not always present, and in a mobile context, users are unlikely to want to carry appropriated surfaces with them (at this point, one might as well just have a larger device).

John Pollock Linked Out Cv. iPad app developer Thomas Suarez aged TWELVE gives amazing talk at TEDxManhattanBeach. By Jennifer Madison Updated: 13:28 GMT, 15 November 2011 He's only in sixth grade, but already Thomas Suarez has quite the impressive resume for a rising tech star. The 12-year-old astounded a room full of technology gurus as he took the stage and delivered a swaggering speech at TEDxManhattanBeach to discuss the apps he has released for iOS devices.
He confidently told the crowd: 'My parents, my friends and even the people at the Apple store all supported me... and Steve Jobs inspired me.' Scroll down for video Confident: Thomas Suarez, 12, took the stage at TEDxManhattanBeach to discuss the apps he has released for iOS devices Thomas, currently enrolled in middle school in the South Bay of Los Angeles, appeared at the October 22 event about 'Transforming Learning'. He told of how he became interested in coding as a kindergartener, and eventually began teaching himself programming basics in Python, C, and Java.
Most recently he created his own company, CarrotCorp, which sells his apps. 3 Awesome Teen Entrepreneurs Who Will Put You to Shame. The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship honored 33 enterprising teen entrepreneurs this week at its first annual Dare to Dream awards dinner in New York City. The kids, jittery and dressed in their best, came from all over the world—Colombia, China, Germany, and around the United States—to receive the awards and share their businesses with fellow honorees. They were selected as stand-out entrepreneurs by NFTE, a non-profit organization that teaches low-income students entrepreneurial skills.
It operates local chapters in 50 countries. Before the fancy dinner, hosted by MSBC anchor Willie Geist and FUBU founder Daymond John, the kids set up science fair-style booths showing off their businesses. A crowd of about 200 teachers and program supporters made the rounds to each, chatting with the teenpreneurs while sipping champagne (irking some of the under-21 up-starts). 1.

Henry Holtzman has been a member of the MIT community since 1981, joining the Media Lab as a researcher when it opened in 1985. He was the Lab's Chief Knowledge Officer and a co-director of the Digital Life Consortium, and directs the Information Ecology research group.
In addition, Holtzman co-directed the Lab's CE 2.0 initiative, a collaboration with more than 40 Media Lab sponsor companies to formulate the principles for a new generation of consumer electronics that are highly connected, seamlessly interoperable, situation-aware, and radically simple. Holtzman has led research projects in the areas of tangible networking and image compression, resulting in desktop applications for RFID such as the Smart Mousepad, multicast network architectures for multimedia, IP television, scale-free image representation, and knowledge-based video representation. Holtzman has extensive experience with RFID, computer programming, hardware design, operating systems, and network architecture. Paul Moskowitz.

Dynamic captioning. There are more than 66 million people su®ering from hearing impairment and this disability brings them di±culty in the video content understanding due to the loss of audio information. If scripts are available, captioning technology can help them in a certain degree by synchronously illustrating the scripts during the playing of videos. However, we show that the existing captioning techniques are far from satisfactory in assisting hearing impaired audience to enjoy videos. In this paper, we introduce a video accessibility enhancement scheme with a Dynamic Captioning approach, which explores a rich set of technologies including face detection and recognition, visual saliency analysis, text-speech alignment, etc. Different from the existing methods that are categorized as static captioning here, dynamic captioning puts scripts at suitable positions to help hearing impaired audience better recognize the speaking characters.
