Locast H2Fl0w

Har så vidt vært innom dette prosjektet tidligere.



The Locast H2flOw project uses mobile storytelling to enhance learning and encourage urban exploration and civic engagement. The H2flOw program took Locast--a flexible, cutting-edge location-based platform--and introduced this interactive technology as a tool for educational discovery and documentation.

In the Trento region deployment, students researched the topic of sustainable water use by creating location-based video reportages and documentaries in their local context. Through this narrative and the exploration process, the students better understood the role of water and related environmental issues within their community.

Microsoft Surface is Now Thinner, Smarter & Cheaper

Microsoft showed off a new version of Surface, its tabletop touch computer, during the company’s keynote address at CES on Wednesday night.

Gone is that cumbersome cube-shaped box with cameras inside. Now, there’s a piece of super-tough Gorilla Glass (the same glass that’s on the front and back of the iPhone 4) on top of what looks like a parson’s table. The whole thing is only four inches thick and works with faster processors and sophisticated infrared sensors that give it finer resolution.

The real secret sauce is what Microsoft calls Pixel Sense, a miniaturized version of all those cameras that were formerly mounted underneath the glass surface of the table. Not only is this new version a lot tougher than its predecessor, making it a much more appropriate tabletop for rowdy bars; it’s also a lot smarter. As Microsoft put it, “Every pixel is acting as a camera, so the surface of the PC can actually see.”
