Leaked by undisclosed Google employees, the so-called Google Goggles (the name of Google’s popular image search mobile app) are to be released to the public as an experiment somewhat like the Chromebooks in 2011 and priced similar to a smartphone. So what should we expect from this new gadget? Understanding Google Glasses’ Technical Specs From the two main blogs that claim to have access to the latest developments from the mysterious Google X labs – 9to5 Google and NY Times blog – we already have a series of possible technical specs regarding Google’s glasses.

ExamTime - Changing the way you learn Augmented reality NASA X38 display showing video map overlays including runways and obstacles during flight test in 2000. Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.[1] By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.[2][3] Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. Technology[edit] Hardware[edit] Hardware components for augmented reality are: processor, display, sensors and input devices. Display[edit] Head-mounted[edit] Eyeglasses[edit] HUD[edit] EyeTap[edit]
Using Gapminder in Presentations Gapminder is a wonderful tool to animate statistical data. Recently, I have used a Gapminder graph for the first time in a presentation and here’s an explanation on how to do it. Should you not know about Gapminder, I would suggest to first take a look at one of the wonderful videos commented by inventor Hans Rosling. The Gapminder World tool comes with a huge amount of development data in order to show country comparisons over time. How to implement a Gapminder graph with your own data in your presentation You can also use Gapminder for your own (time series) data that don’t necessarily have to be development data for country comparisons. The data in Google docs have to be in a specific format that is shown in this Excel spreadsheet. Once you have inserted the Motion Chart and adjusted it to your needs, I would make it as big as possible so that you can capture it in best quality. As a capturing tool I used the 30 day free (and fully functional) trial of Camtasia Studio.
Art Project – Cultural Institute The Art Project is a unique collaboration with some of the world’s most acclaimed art institutions to enable people to discover and view artworks online in extraordinary detail. Working with over 250 institutions, we have put tens of thousands of works of art from more than 6,000 artists online. This involved taking a selection of super high resolution images of famous artworks, as well as collating more than thirty thousand other images into one place. It also included building 360 degree tours of individual galleries using Street View ‘indoor’ technology. A wide range of institutions, large and small, traditional art museums as well as less traditional settings for great art are represented in the expanded Art Project. View all museum collections More than 45,000 artworks are featured in high resolution. Browse the Art Project by the artist’s name, the artwork, the type of art, the museum, the country, the city and the collection.
