Safety advocates say the concept of high-tech displays for goggles — and for other sports eyewear — is information overload run amok, particularly when people are using them at high speeds. Yet Oakley, based in Foothill Ranch, Calif., is one of a handful of sports eyewear companies betting that thrill seekers and athletes crave the equivalent of a cockpit dashboard while skiing, snowboarding, cycling and running. The companies are in the vanguard of the next wave of personal technology, called wearable computing, which promises to further shrink the barrier between users and the information they seek."

If you think the desktop Web and the smartphone were occasions for info-overload, get ready for wearable computing, which isn't waiting for the 2014 release of Google Glass. On ski slopes and on the roads, we're about to embark on a societal experiment regarding the dangers of fragmented attention. How many people will master multiple streams of incoming information while racing down a hill or driving on a freeway? And how many will crash?

I was excited when I first heard about this. Yet, I was on my bike listening to a podcast. One true value that I can see is if they allowed a third-party app that lets you connect to the lodge. If a skier is going at [ speed > x ] and then stops moving and then stays there for [time < X ], it might be time to send medical aid. WIth GPS, etc, that could be done. No other scerios seemed appealing to me while I was flying on my bike. Good audio should be enough.

As virtual environments rapidly rise, perhaps physical environments will be appreciated (even cherished) as something unique and valuable. Wisdom may only be acquired through balance of the individual and society, the abstract and the concrete, and the countless other opposing tensions we encounter in life. Delete the scoop?

Valerie Hill's insight:
Visualizing Math in 3D is a good example of how a virtual environment may sometimes provide opportunities one cannot experience in a physical environment. For example, it is not impossible for students to physically touch a billion cubes. In a 3D world, we can walk inside them, build them. move them and visualize them in ways our limited space does not allow. Delete the scoop?

Confused about what augmented reality is? In short, it’s a way to use technology to redefine space, and it places a virtual layer over the world with geographic specificity ensuring a good fit. Check out the video below — in real life, the woman is holding what appears to be a simple box of LEGOs. But when seen through an AR viewer, the box comes to life, serving as a platform for a beautiful carousel. It’s not that you’re imagining things — AR uses computer animation to bring objects to life.

Content marketing? That takes a lot of time, doesn’t it?
Valerie Hill's insight:
But doesn't high quality content actually require time (as in revision, refection, more revision)? Intellectual freedom and global participatory culture have revolutionized our information consumption. We are "prosumers" now- no longer "consumers" of information. I would like to read a blog post on perseverance and quality versus speed and quantity. But then, who has time to read it? Delete the scoop?

Announcing IE2013 – Matters of Life and Death Interactive Entertainment is Australasia’s longest running games and digital entertainment conference, and embodies the spread of disciplines which contribute to the field. IE welcomes computer scientists, designers, artists, technicians and academics across the spectrum.
This year’s Interactive Entertainment conference will be hosted by RMIT University in Melbourne, from September 30 to October 1.
This year’s conference embraces some of the recent changes in games discourses both inside and outside the academy, and turns its attention to “Matters of Life and Death”. In a field concerned with entertainment, seriousness has hovered on the edges of discussion and helped us interpret technologies of leisure. If we reframe seriousness as ‘matters of life and death’, we can look again at the factors which impact computer games and other interactive entertainment. Questions emerge from this framing and from recent discussions such as: How do we map changes in the economic environment of games? How do designers deal with increasingly mobile, active, tactile play forms? How do scientists evaluate and build for diversifying platforms? How can we study the manufacturing, resourcing and logistics of games distribution – especially when those systems are largely digital?
