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. Ivan Poupyrev, Walt Disney Research. Chris Wild.

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.

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.
