INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION APP Make musical slideshows in minutes - switch accessible too! Barbara Landsberb, Spectronics Blog, 12/17/10  Slideshow Maker was designed to work on a range of displays, including touch screens. It it easy to use. Slideshow Maker Manual  (1.8 MB) Note: SlideshowMaker was not yet available in the US at the time of the above post. If I find a video about Slideshow Maker, I will post it here.HEALTH CARE The article below is a must-read for anyone thinking about developing applications for health care professionals, clinics, hospitals, patients, etc. In my opinion, it is very important to look at the "Big Picture", especially for techies who are finding themselves taking on responsibilities related to information architecture in this field. For the Future of Health Care Design, Look Beyond the Hospital Fast Company Design, 3/25/11 "Here, Jean Mah and Robin Guenther, two health-care design experts at architecture firm Perkins + Will, look at what the future holds for our health care systems." -Ed. (Fast Company) BIG DATA In the article below, the topic of "Big Data" is addressed. Handling all of the numbers and information visualization tasks needed for humans to understand and efficiently and effectively make use of the "Big Data" will require low power computing solutions.
