| Technology Out and About: DOOH at the Porche Design Shop in St. Martin (Video) Posted: 10 Jan 2011 06:43 PM PST Video Window, Porche Design, St. Martin from Lynn Marentette on Vimeo. I came across this video display at a Porche Design shop in St. Martin. The video was well-done, but the display was difficult to see from a distance. The saleswoman wasn't sure who produced the content. I thought that it would be more interesting if the content was interactive- something for do while my husband shopped! http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2011 08:39 AM PST I thought I'd share a couple of interesting videos about the work of some researchers at Microsoft Research and their colleagues: RELATED Japani, V., Ramos, G., and Drucker, S. ImageFlow: Streaming Image Search (pdf) (Microsoft Research Publication, 11/18/2010) Link to abstract Fisher, D., Drucker, S., Fernandez,R. and Ruble,S. Visualizations Everywhere: A Multiplatform Infrastructure for Linked Visualizations, in Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, IEEE, Salt Lake City, UT, November 2010 The following video and article focuses on some research that I think will be very useful for creating interactive multimedia timelines in the future. I'd like to learn more about ways this interaction can be implemented in gesture-based systems! Content-Aware Dynamic Timeline for Video Browsing From Gonzalo's YouTube channel: "When videos have more frames than pixels in the player's timeline slider, frames become inaccessible and scrolling actions cause sudden jumps in a video's continuity. We propose a content-aware dynamic timeline control that decouples video speed and playback speed and allow salient shots to be presented at an intelligible speed." Article Pongnumkul, S., Wang, J., Ramos, G., Cohen, M. Content-Aware Timeline for Video Browsing (pdf). UIST '10, ACM Note: The researchers are investigating the use of audio/sound in a similar manner, making this form of video browsing/search truly multimedia. An example of this is included near the end of the above video clip. The following video is a demonstration of something I could use in my work as a school psychologist, since I use a lot of video for assessing students with disabilities, including those with autism. I also use video to create digital social stories for many of the students. http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2011 07:29 AM PST Following a link from Nathan Yau's recent Flowing Data blog post, Our Changing World in Cartograms, I discovered that FedEx's "Our Changing World" website. It provides an interesting way to explore data about various countries by mousing over countries on a map. I have an HP TouchSmart PC, and found that the touch-screen interaction offered by this website was better than using the mouse. I'm pretty sure that this website would be fun to use on a larger touch-enabled display, and in in the classroom, on interactive whiteboards.  To my surprise, I also discovered that the website offers a 3D augmented reality version of "Our Changing World": Experience the changing world in augmented reality "See the world and the information that shapes it. Watch it come to life as a 3-D hologram..."  (I'll play with the AR hologram later today.) Note: The FedEx website provides links to additional resources for each topic area, as well as a link to the sources used for the data included in the information graphics. It is important to remember that graphics do not always accurately depict the numbers! RELATED FedEx Launches Global Business Data Visualization Experience "At experience.fedex.com, visitors can interact through a world map with data and content provided by The Economist Intelligence Unit on eight world trends initially, including air travel, people in cities, entrepreneurs and success, paper trail, business growth, education, money and happiness, and research and development. Visitors also have an opportunity to analyze the data, share information, or participate in real-time, online polls...."At FedEx, we pride ourselves on our ability to offer great customer experiences," said FedEx Data Sources FedEx: Our Changing World FedEx Multimedia Center http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
