NINJA SPHERE: Next Generation Control of Your Environment by Ninja Blocks

NINJA SPHERE: Next Generation Control of Your Environment by Ninja Blocks
Your Ninja Sphere learns about you, and your environment. It uses data from sensors and actuators to build a model that can inform you if something is out of place. It can monitor temperature, lighting, energy usage, you and your pets' presence, and anything else you connect to your sphere. By using data from your devices, environment, and location your sphere is able to advise you intelligently and give you control only when you need it. We already support a huge array of devices, but because our approach is open source, almost anybody can write and share a driver to connect a device to your sphere. This essentially future proofs your Ninja Sphere, giving you peace of mind that as new devices come onto the market, your Ninja Sphere can support them. The Spheramid is the gateway that enables the Ninja Sphere. WiFi - Any IP things like smart lightbulbs, IP cameras, smart TVs - anything that connects to your wireless or wired network. USB - The Spheramid is a whole (tiny) computer.

Alternate reality game An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. Subsequently, it is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game. Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-based challenges and puzzles, and collaborate as a community to analyze the story and coordinate real-life and online activities. ARGs generally use multimedia, such as telephones, email and mail but rely on the Internet as the central binding medium. Definition[edit] Unique terminology[edit] Among the terms essential to understand discussions about ARGs are: Computer/console/video games.

ENVIRONNEMENT • L'Indonésie, championne de la déforestation L’archipel a détrôné le Brésil en tant que premier coupeur d’arbres de la planète. La forêt primaire y disparaît deux fois plus vite qu’en Amazonie. Et les autorités du pays sont impuissantes à enrayer ce processus. Quelque 0,84 million d’hectares par an. Entre l’an 2000 et 2012, le recul des forêts primaires est estimé à plus de 6 millions d’hectares, essentiellement à cause de l’activité des industries de la pâte à papier et de l’agroalimentaire. Ces coupes franches dans les forêts primaires et les tourbières boisées de l’archipel, observées par des images satellites, augmentent les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et nuisent de façon drastique à la biodiversité. Or “les forêts indonésiennes abritent 10 % des espèces végétales mondiales, 12 % des mammifères, 16 % des reptiles et 17 % des oiseaux”, note The Age. Quant aux autorités censées veiller sur ces espaces protégées, elles sont impuissantes, constatait à la mi-juin The Jakarta Post. Virginie Lepetit

BeagleBoard.org - community supported open hardware computers for making What to do with a 3D Printer: Make Garden Tools This entry was posted on May 21, 2012 by Alex English. The gardening season is here and it's time to get out and work the dirt. Even very traditional home tasks and pastimes like gardening can benefit from a 3D Printer. I've got a few garden accessories that I've designed for myself to use in the garden this season. Hanging Garden Trellis Netting First, I needed a way to hang the trellis for my peas and green beans. Seed Spacer I use a hybrid system to lay out my garden, a combination of square foot gardening and hexagonal plant spacing. This kind of spacing isn't too hard to do by hand, but is much faster and easier with a tool to help. Here are the spacers (4 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches, and 1.5 inches: Here, you can see a bed of radishes planted using 2 inch spacing, and a few radishes harvested from that bed. Here are the designs for the Garden Spacer on Thingiverse, in 4 inch, 3 inch, 2 inch, and 1.5 inch spacings. For a few examples of what you might plant at different spacing: Slug Trap
