La réalité augmentée Hydra's Solar-Hydrogen Power Makes Clean Water From Dirty at 20,000... For the one in every eight souls around the world lacking access to pure drinking water, how about this: A solar-powered water purification system that spits out pure water, hydrogen and, just for kicks, electricity too. Could it get any better than that? The device is called Hydra, and like its many-headed mythological namesake it truly serves a multitude of purposes: As its press release notes, "imagine a single trailer-mounted device that turns scum into over 20,000 gallons of pure water a day, stores electricity better than a battery, makes medical-grade oxygen, and runs on the sun." That's quite enough benefits from one device, thankyouverymuch. It works on a very simple, long-understood principle: electrolysis. The products are exactly what you may expect: Oxygen to help with medical problems, electricity for any number of purposes, and pure water at a phenomenal rate. But how does Hydra compare with other systems out there that offer some of the same benefits?

8 Things Everybody Ought to Know About Concentrating “Music helps me concentrate,” Mike said to me glancing briefly over his shoulder. Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. Mike made a shift about every thirty seconds between all of the above. Do you know a person like this? The Science Behind Concentration In the above account, Mike’s obviously stuck in a routine that many of us may have found ourselves in, yet in the moment we feel it’s almost an impossible routine to get out of. When we constantly multitask to get things done, we’re not multitasking, we’re rapidly shifting our attention. Phase 1: Blood Rush Alert When Mike decides to start writing his History essay, blood rushes to his anterior prefrontal cortex. Phase 2: Find and Execute The alert carries an electrical charge that’s composed of two parts: first, a search query (which is needed to find the correct neurons for executing the task of writing), and second, a command (which tells the appropriate neuron what to do). Phase 3: Disengagement 1. 2. 3. 4.
IKEA takes its product catalog mobile with augmented reality app IKEA taps Mobile Dreams Factory for augmented reality app Retail giant IKEA has taken its 2010 catalog mobile with the launch of an augmented reality application for Apple’s iPhone. Mobile marketing agency Mobile Dreams Factory has brought the 2010 IKEA catalog to the iPhone with a unique augmented reality feature: Users can select a piece of furniture from the catalog and place it anywhere inside the room around them, changing its size to fit the perspective by using the phone’s camera. “Every year IKEA launches their printed catalog,” said Alberto Benbunan, managing director of Mobile Dreams Factory, Madrid. “Last year, IKEA launched announced an iPhone app together with the press release of the printed catalogue. “That increased the notoriety of IKEA and this specific press release,” he said. “Hundred of thousand applications were downloaded in Spain and across Europe.” Operator & Media Services provides advertising platforms to carriers, media companies and content providers.
mental_floss Blog & The Straw that Saves Lives Providing money, roads, education, electricity, and employment to needy people of the world is a noble idea, but it's like putting the cart before the horse when a billion people don't have a reliable source of safe drinking water. They are in danger of ingesting typhoid, dysentery, salmonella, diphtheria, E. coli, or cholera. Water treatment plants and long distance pipes are terribly expensive for Third World nations, and even purified water can become contaminated with disease before consumption. A possible solution: a personal water filter for each person. Danish water purification company Vestergaard Frandsen has developed the LifeStraw® Personal, a small filter that requires no power and can be worn on a string around the neck. There are no moving parts and no maintenance is required. Vestergaard Frandsen also offers the LifeStraw® Family, which can be used to clean a household water supply.
Wikitude Wikitude is a mobile augmented reality software which is developed by the Austrian company Wikitude GmbH (formerly Mobilizy GmbH) and was first published in October 2008 as freeware. It displays information about the users' surroundings in a mobile camera view, including image recognition and 3d modeling. Wikitude was the first publicly available application that used a location-based approach to augmented reality.[1][2] How it works[edit] For location-based augmented reality the position of objects on the screen of the mobile device is calculated using the user's position (by GPS or Wifi), the direction in which the user is facing (by using the compass) and accelerometer. The location-based augmented reality view provides a direct view of reality enhanced with additional, computer-generated content, as opposed to a conventional map, which provides an abstract view from above. A central element in the Wikitude World Browser is the location. User generated content[edit] Discussion[edit]

"La réalité augmentée crée une relation émotionnelle avec le con Les entreprises doivent intégrer cette technologie à leur stratégie marketing. Mais pour que cela fonctionne, l'expérience doit être à la fois immersive, sociale et narrative. Et émancipée de l'étiquette d'outil gadget. Entretien sur l'usage marketing de la réalité augmentée avec David Nahon, en charge des technologies de virtualité immersive chez Dassault Systèmes. L'Atelier l'a rencontré à l'occasion du forum sur le thème et organisé par L'Echangeur.

Laser Crosswalk Saves Pedestrians From a Painful Death - GEARFUSE When the light turns red, a huge laser wall projecting apparitions of crossing pedestrians spans across the crosswalk. The concept is designed to keep crossing pedestrians safe from any overzealous drivers who otherwise might have ran the red light. Link [via] Augmented Reality (AR) in Education « Learning Technologies November 22, 2010 by Steve Yuen Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the real world is enhanced by computer-generated content specific to a location and to an activity. Today, AR applications have become portable and available on mobile devices. AR is beginning to change news, entertainment, sports, e-commerce, travel, museums, architecture, and marketing in tangible, exciting ways. In education and training, AR has the potential to make ubiquitous learning a reality, allowing learners to gain immediate access to a wide range of location-specific information from various sources. The 2010 Horizon Report predicts that the use of simple AR in education will be widespread within 2 to 3 years on U.S. college campuses. Although AR is not new, it is still in infancy especially applying in education.

Hot Wheel: Ultra-Minimalist Electric Single-Wheeled Vehicle | Gadgets, Scie... In our greener future, it looks like we will all need to opt for smaller, more energy-efficient transportation. Most designers have been rising to that call by thinking up tiny electric cars – but some are going in a different direction. The Solowheel is an almost-ridiculously tiny single wheel urban transport gadget that acts like a self-righting unicycle without pedals. Like the Segway, the Solowheel is operated largely by the distribution of the rider’s body weight. The tiny unicycle is totally battery-operated and can run for about two hours on a charge. While it’s a bit troubling to see people riding around on a single wheel with no safety gear, we’re guessing it doesn’t go fast enough to make it a truly dangerous activity.
