Digital Doggie in the Window

Sniff from karolina sobecka on Vimeo.

Sniff is an interactive projection in a storefront window. As the viewer walks by the projection, her movements and gestures are tracked by a computer vision system. A CG dog dynamically responds to these gestures and changes his behavior based on the state of engagement with the viewer.

Swarms of tiny illuminated helicopters as flying digital signage/advertising? Interesting!

MIT researchers are exploring whether a swarm of tiny helicopters outfitted with LEDs could self-organize into a massive flying display "screen." The vision for the nascent Flyfire project is that each of the choppers acts as a pixel to form a dynamically-reconfigurable display.

Do We Have To Teach Naked?

 

 

More proper implementation of multimedia and social networking tools is crucial. Just because you hand instructors tools does not guarantee that they intuitively know how to use them to communicate effectively to their target audience.

Famous Voices

This reveals some of the faces behind many of the voices that you may have heard in commercials, movie trailers, etc.

 

This is inspirational to me, for I'm doing alot of voiceover work...mostly for training pieces that are technical/IT related: explaining workflows, orienting people to new processes, demonstrating the functionalities of software using screencam tools such as Camtasia or Adobe Captivate

 

Some leadins for shows and scripts for commercials do come my way from time to time, but training materials are the brunt of it.

 

Have lots of voiceover work on the slate for 2010. Am resting up...it's going to be a busy year!

 

 

Rumors of Apple poised to start new year with launch of tablet computer?

The device, likely to be called the iSlate, has no keyboard and allows users to watch TV shows and read online magazines. The explosion of legitimate digital content services, the rise of downloadable applications – fuelled by the iPhone – and the widespread availability of wireless broadband has created a market for a tablet PC that is more of a multimedia device than merely a "keyboardless" computer.

 

Speculation is rife that the Apple will release such a device, which has no keyboard and resembles a large iPhone, at an event on 26 January in San Francisco. Some technology bloggers have already christened the touchscreen device the iSlate after it emerged that Apple has registered the iSlate.com internet domain name.
