Tablet startups bet on digital classroom Absolute Hollywood.com FULLDOME is the internationally recognized format used in Planetariums across the world, and as such has become a regular feature in Absolute Hollywood Productions. In order to implement Fulldome immersive projections in our translucent domes, Absolute Hollywood has developed The SIRIUS system- a bespoke Spherical Projection device that has been configured for use with all Absolute Hollywood projection domes, allowing the projection of a single immersive environment that is recreated across multiple projectors in real time. The SIRIUS system also ports to external visual sources allowing immediate interactivity across the Fulldome projection screen. The Absolute Hollywood SIRIUS system is the driving force behind our recent installation of the Absolute Hollywood Earth Globe Sphere in Copenhagen. This was followed by our spectacularly successful show as the centre piece of the Aboriginal Pavilion at the Winter Olympic Games Vancouver 2010.
Beyond SOPA: Rep. Darrell Issa's Big Plans For Digitizing Democracy Engineer and congressional Republican firebrand Darrell Issa is leveraging his supporters' collective outrage against a contentious anti-piracy bill, SOPA, to showcase his new experimental crowdsourcing legislative platform. "Project Madison" invites the legions of angry technology firms and policy wonks to construct their own version of an alternative anti-piracy bill on a new online platform.

To be clear, his experiments often serve to advance a brazen political agenda. Crowdsourcing Rage Against Anti-Piracy Legislation Supporters of SOPA argue that such apocalyptic claims are overblown, and that tough measures are necessary to halt the spread of counterfeit goods and Napster-like copyright infringement.

Don't hold your breath. That’s not to say that all is well in college sports -- it’s impossible to argue otherwise given recent scandals at some of the highest-profile universities in the country -- or to write off as meaningless various efforts by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and others to toughen academic rules, increase financial support for athletes, or otherwise alter the landscape. Mark Emmert, NCAA president “There is an enormous amount of uninformed, emotion-driven debate and conversation going on right now.” The Current 'Crisis' Donna A.

Cruella-blog Designers Behind Facebook Timeline: 5 Lessons For Creating A UI With Soul | Co.Design For most of computing history, interfaces have been about function. Word processing programs help you compose documents. Banking websites help you make transactions. But Facebook’s Timeline (the new version of the user profile which is slated to be released to the general public “in the next few weeks”) wanted to do something more: It wanted to convey a feeling. If Facebook had simply had utilitarian goals in mind for its new profile, like “Help me identify what happened in 2008,” designing Timeline would have been simple. But Facebook didn’t want to do that. Time Is The Most Universal Framework Across Cultures One of the primary decisions that had to be made was what the basic organizing framework would be. But they soon realized that wouldn’t scale. [Events are shown on either side of a timeline that runs down the middle of the page. Life Feels Like A Stream; Life’s UI Should Too The amount of data that will get accumulated over the course of a person’s life will be huge.
