Dixon crossing Niagara below the Great Cantilever Bridge, U.S.A. 1895-1903 -photo courtesy of NYPL NYPL gives viewers the opportunity to take 19th century images and turn them into 21st century GIF files. Stereograms, invented in 1838 by Charles Wheatstone, are pairs of two dimensional images shot from different angles in such a way that they mimic the vantage points of our left and right eyes. When viewed through a stereoscope, the combined images pop out in 3D. Stereograms were hugely popular in the 19th century and often used to give audiences glimpses of parts of the world they may never have been able to see before. Last month, the New York Public Library's experimental Labs department ( unveiled its latest digitization project, the Stereogranimator.

Roles moderators play Usability test moderators need to play several roles, such as ensuring the technology is working properly, ensuring the session runs to schedule and schmoozing the client. But the moderator’s most important role is to ensure that the participant is heard. With most test sessions lasting less than 90 minutes, this is one of a small number of opportunities that the design team has to understand how people use their product. 15 Tips for good listening Do try to read the participant’s “non-verbals” — inflections, gestures, posture and facial expression.
Do work hard at overcoming distractions (such as problems with the recording equipment) that may interfere with good listening. Do try to stay with speakers who may be hard to follow — those who speak slowly, those whose ideas are poorly organised or those who repeat themselves. What next? I hope I’ve convinced you that listening is different from hearing. About the author. See Wolfram Alpha in Action: Our Screenshots - ReadWriteWeb. Last weekend, we attended a web demo of Wolfram Alpha, a new "computational knowledge engine" based on the work of Stephen Wolfram.
Some have dubbed Alpha a "Google killer," but, in reality, it is very different from the standard search engines that we are all familiar with today. When we got the demo, Wolfram asked us to refrain from publishing any screenshots. Today, however, the Berkman Center posted a video of the public demo Wolfram gave earlier this week, so we think it's only fair that we share our own screenshots with our readers at this point.

Welcome to the White House. DarienLibrary.org | It's for You! SlideSix: A Guerrilla Presentation Sharing System. At last night’s meet-up I met a guy named Todd Sharp who created SlideSix.com, a presentation sharing system that supports PowerPoint/PowerPoint 2007, PDF, OpenOffice, and MOV files.
It supports uploading and embedding of slides in any web page. It’s not much to look at right now, but I works correctly and it’s a testament to what one man with a dream can accomplish in this dirty, harsh world. Todd built the service from the ground up and it works using a Flash-based interface with plenty of additional features including on-the-fly video and audio recording. The system also allows for the creation of a “branded” presentation experience where all of your presentations are presented as a cohesive whole. What’s really important is that Todd is basically creating this in a vacuum in Medina, Ohio and it just goes to show you that good programmers and ideas aren’t just coming from the confines of some programmer cage in the Valley.
