Reuters Photo Fraud The Reuters Photo Scandal A Taxonomy of Fraud A comprehensive overview of the four types of photo fraud committed by Reuters, August, 2006 The recent discovery that the Reuters news agency released a digitally manipulated photograph as an authentic image of the bombing in Beirut has drawn attention to the important topic of bias in the media. This page serves as an overview of the various types of hoaxes, lies and other deceptions perpetrated by Reuters in recent days, since the details of the scandal are getting overwhelmed by a torrent of shallow mainstream media coverage that can easily confuse or mislead the viewer. It's important to understand that there is not just a single fraudulent Reuters photograph, nor even only one kind of fraudulent photograph. The four types of photographic fraud perpetrated by Reuters photographers and editors are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Let's examine each type of fraud, with the photographic evidence itself: 1. 2. 3. 4. Hang on! But wait!
16 Famous Photoshopped Images Throughout History President Abraham Lincoln, circa 1860 This nearly iconic portrait of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln is a composite of Lincoln’s head and the Southern politician John Calhoun’s body. Putting the date of this image into context, note that the first permanent photographic image was created in 1826 and the Eastman Dry Plate Company (later to become Eastman Kodak) was created in 1881. Stalin, circa 1930 Stalin routinely air-brushed his enemies out of photographs. Benito Mussolini, 1942 In order to create a more heroic portrait of himself, Benito Mussolini had the horse handler removed from the original photograph. Altered Photo Original Photo U.S. In 1960 the U.S. Fidel Castro, 1968 When in the summer of 1968 Fidel Castro (right) approves of the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia, Carlos Franqui (middle) cuts off relations with the regime and goes into exile in Italy.

The Ethics of Digital Manipulation In the example see above, we have changed the red color of M8, the Lagoon Nebula, whose main spectral emission lies in the red portion of the spectrum, to blue with a simple adjustment in Photoshop. When photography was first invented, its overwhelming power came from the fact that it recorded nature more realistically than any other art form had ever done before. Because of this, people trusted it and believed it portrayed "reality" and "truth". But, just as story telling could portray the "truth" with an accurate accounting of the facts, it could just as easily become fiction. Fake and manipulated photographs - visual fiction - began circulating not long after the invention of photography. With the invention of motion pictures, and certainly television, the public came to know that not every picture they saw was necessarily factual in its depiction of reality. Historical Image Manipulation Ethics and Aesthetics Today's viewers however, are very sophisticated visually. Interpretations
Augmented Reality Home Pages - Introduction Note: Most of this material has been taken from the beginning sections of my thesis proposal. My PhD thesis work was completed in April 1998 with the defense of my thesis, "Interactive Augmented Reality". 1. Augmented Reality Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. Figure 1 - Simulated augmented reality medical image 1.1 Augmented Reality vs. Virtual reality is a technology that encompasses a broad spectrum of ideas. The discussion above highlights the similarities and differences between virtual reality and augmented reality systems. The computer generated virtual objects must be accurately registered with the real world in all dimensions. Milgram (Milgram and Kishino 1994; Milgram, Takemura et al. 1994) describes a taxonomy that identifies how augmented reality and virtual reality work are related. Figure 2 - Milgram's Reality-Virtuality Continuum Milgram further defines a taxonomy for the Mixed Reality displays. 1.2 Augmented Reality Application Domains

How 3DO Creates Video Games" Once the storyboards and overall game level designs are complete, the game enters the production phase. The preproduction team expands as needed to include additional artists, programmers and designers. 3DO's artists began developing the 3D models that will make up the worlds of Portal Runner using a software application called 3D Studio Max. Richly detailed texture maps were created for each object. While the game developers at 3DO created the actual game environment using these models and textures, another division of the company, PlayWorks, used the same models to develop the animated full-motion video (FMV) sequences for the game. Meanwhile, the programmers wrote custom code in C programming language that provided the framework for the game objects. Some of the code for a game involves the 3D engine, an application that generates all the polygons, shadows and textures that you see.
How Invisibility Cloaks Work" Admit it. You'd love to own an invisibility cloak. Utter an embarrassing faux pas at a party? Just throw on your magical garment and vanish from the snooty gaze of your fellow partygoers. Want to hear what your boss is really saying about you? Stroll right into his or her office and get the goods. Such fantastic fashion accessories have become ridiculously standard in the world of science fiction and fantasy. Well, Muggles, science has some good news for you: Invisibility cloaks are a reality. First up, we'll look at some wonderful carbon nanotube fashions -- fresh from the UTD NanoTech Institute fall 2011 collection. Or perhaps you'd prefer something made from metamaterials. If you're more into retro fashion, there's also the optical camouflage technology developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo. Ready to try some of these fashions on for size?
Total Immersion and the “Transfigured City:” Shared Augmented Realities, the “Web Squared Era,” and Google Wave Above is an image above from Total Immersion’s augmented reality experience developed for the “Networked City” exhibition in South Korea, – “a fun scenario created for a u-City’s infrastructure and city management service” “To the naked eye, the exhibit looks like a bare bones model of a city. But when visitors put on the special AR goggles a whole new world unfolds – as graphics overlaid on the city model. ” ( Games Alfresco) “The Networked City,” is a large scale augmented virtuality of a scenario for a networked city. But my guess, reading the Korea IT Times , is the plan is to move from an augmented virtuality to an augmented reality as Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) realizes its vision to become a leading u-City – where reality is turned “inside out” (see Inside Out: Interaction Design for Augmented Reality ) . Ubiquitous computing and augmented reality are like adenine and thymine – a DNA base pair. A sky view of Incheon Free Economic Zone ( from Korean IT Times ). 1.
Augmented Reality I think we can all agree that reality is pretty great. It’s what we experience through our senses like our eyes, and phones with cameras. The Internet is awesome too, but the Internet and reality have a hard time working together. Thankfully this is changing quickly. Let's start with an example. Let’s say you're hungry and at a busy intersection. But now, thanks to new software on mobile phones, you can simply point your phone's camera at buildings around you and voila! Another example is shopping. And this functionality only requires a few things. Augmented reality can also work with a camera attached to your computer. These examples are just the beginning.
Future Tech: Looking Forward to the Post-Screen Era | Gadgets Over the past few years, I’ve developed two habits that have made me an increasingly unpopular movie date. One is a strong preference for 3-D movies, undeterred by low artistic value or by sensations commonly associated with brain tumors and food poisoning, not to mention the big, dorky, blinking plastic glasses. (I can’t wait to upgrade my home TV to 3-D—my family, bless them, having assured me that blinking glasses are the least of my problems when it comes to looking dorky.) The other is that I’ve come to like sitting ever closer to the theater screen, advancing at the rate of approximately one row every six months. See, I’m trying to go beyond watching movies to being inside movies. I don’t get why everyone doesn’t feel this way. Researchers feel my pain, apparently, because some of them have been working on peeling video off glass displays so that filmed objects appear to hang out in the thin air around us. He has come close to solving every one of these problems.
