Virtual devices: Gestures of intent

KINECT, Microsoft's remote game console that sits in the corner of the room and registers a user's intentions from his gestures, will be the shape of things to come if Chris Harrison, a researcher at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, has his way. Mr Harrison thinks Kinect's basic principles could be extended into a technological panopticon that monitors people's movements and provides them with what they want, wherever they want it. Someone in a shopping mall, for example, might hold up his hand and see a map appear instantly at his fingertips. This image might then be locked in place by the user sticking his thumb out. A visitor to a museum, armed with a suitable earpiece, could get the lowdown on what he was looking at simply by pointing at it. And a person who wanted to send a text message could tap it out with one hand on a keyboard projected onto the other, and then send it by flipping his hand over.

Six Vintage-Inspired Animations on Critical Thinking

http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/02/09/critical-thinking/ by Maria Popova A field guide to the art and science of the solid argument. Australian outfit Bridge 8 , who have the admirable mission of devising “creative strategies for science and society,” and animator James Hutson have created six fantastic two-minute animations on various aspects of critical thinking, aimed at school ages 8 to 10, or kids between the ages of 13 and 15, but also designed to resonate with grown-ups. Inspired by the animation style of the 1950s, most recognizably Saul Bass , the films are designed to promote a set of educational resources on critical thinking by TechNYou , an emerging technologies public information project funded by the Australian government. The animations — which are part Minute Physics , part The Dot and the Line , part 60-Second Adventures in Thought — are released under a Creative Commons license and cover the basics of logic and the scientific method, as well as specific psychological pitfalls like confirmation bias and Gambler’s Fallacy.
