| Rapid Prototyping of Ubiquitous Computing Applications: Tools & Frameworks - 3240 sec Google Tech Talks
March, 24 2008
ABSTRACT
Yang Li - RESEARCH SCIENTIST
Pervasive or ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) applications can support people's everyday activities in the physical world by leveraging advances in sensor technologies and computing infrastructures. Designing ubicomp applications is challenging because our everyday activities are more complex, dynamic and less structured than the tasks supported by traditional desktop computing. Ubicomp design is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a high level of technical expertise, especially with sensor technologies. To address this, I created a set of rapid prototyping tools and frameworks. My early work with Topiary introduces high-level abstractions, such as maps and scenarios, for designers to easily model location contexts and specify location-based behaviors. Topiary also allows a design to be tested in the field via a Wizard of Oz approach, without deploying a location sensor infrastructure. My recent work is focused on activity-based ubicomp prototyping, a process for enabling long-term activities (such as keeping fit)—a larger unit for design than the tasks that are the focus of traditional design. To support such a process, I created ActivityDesigner, a system that allows designers to create functional prototypes of ubicomp applications based on field observations, and easily deploy and test these prototypes in situ.

| Ubiquitous Electric Power Generation Devices : DigInfo - 116 sec DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv
The linear oscillating electromagnetic generator devised by Bakuu Laboratories, incorporates an entirely new structure that uses movable magnets and magneto coils.
The movable magnets are set in a same-pole, face-to-face arrangement, and the magneto coils are connected in reverse polarity to achieve a more compact design than conventional electromagnetic generators. In addition, a resonance system is configured from the movable magnets and coil springs, making it possible to adjust the resonance frequency settings to tailor it to each specific application.
The new generator is suited for use as an emergency power supply as well as in various other applications.
The linear oscillating electromagnetic generator devised by the senior virtual company Bakuu Laboratories, is a generator that incorporates an entirely new structure using movable magnets and magneto coils.

| Ubiquitous Computing - 258 sec Physicist and futurist Michio Kaku discusses the idea of Ubiquitous Computing. He describes it as "an invisible intelligent network hidden in our walls, our furniture, even our clothing."
Obviously he is employed to present it as a good thing, but what it essentially represents is the all-seeing eye - http://aftermathnews.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/iao-logo.jpg
Paul Saffo of Stanford University argues that it is pretty inevitable, given that the '80s was the decades in which we built our computers, the '90s was when we connected our computers together, and in this decade "it's computing that's everywhere, connected to everything and embedded in everything. And you'll know that ubiquitous computing's arrived when you realise computers have become invisible." Later he goes on to do an impression of Blanche DuBois from A Streetcar Named Desire saying "I have always relied upon the kindness of strangers" seemingly in order to present the 'strangers' as "machines toiling away in complete anonymity". Kind strangers don't tend to allow the authorities to monitor everything you do, which Saffo doesn't seem to mind, or indeed acknowledge.
Saffo is also keen on the idea of merging man and machine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=455wiqupFw0 - and his words on that seemed slightly threatening:
"The big losers [of this revolution] are the people who say they don't want to get involved. They're the ones who are going to discover that being a little bit out of touch will have some unpleasant consequences. So this is a revolution where it's not a good idea to be a bystander."
Kaku goes on to exclusively discuss the potential benefits of this system, e.g. pills that could monitor your health from the inside, sunglasses acting as a mobile home entertainment centre.
The point is made that your glasses could provide a constant flow of information, which could "recognise people's faces and download their personal profiles". This part is reminiscent of certain scenes from The Terminator movies.
Kaku then points out that this revolution is greater than the Renaissance, because it is global, and not just for the elites. And it is also interactive, or "democracy in action", but obviously there won't be a vote on it, which seems to be how the new democracy works - see EU/NAU.

| USS Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole - 219 sec USS (Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker) Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole Live at Tattoo Parlor in Toronto on Apr 09 2008. The crowd was wild and loving it! Everything you've heard about Ash Boo-Schultz is true and more; he is has great charisma and the voice to match. His sidekick Human Kebab is a real riot with more energy than a five year old on a sugar rush. I'm sorry the sound is not 10/10 but being close to the stage made for very nice shot. You can clearly hear the monitors of the rhythm acoustic played by Ash. I hope you enjoy this shot as much I (and the crowd) enjoyed the show.

Lyrics:
We drop around the clock
Trippin' along the beats around the bloc
Steady she goes
Every all is love in every way
Kiss the peace frog with conviction say
Beats drop like cod fish stocks
Tripping along to beats around the bloc
Steady she goes
Every all is love in every way
Kiss the peace frog with conviction say
Dark Lordosis please relieve psychosis
Behaviour through osmosis
Dipsogen cirrhosis
The paranoids playing xylophones
With rusty lukatomes
Chordates makes ideal mates
And perfect posture
Ain't it maxic how thigmotaxic
The herd hath become
Fluoride makes you dumb
Shock the Kasbah diffusion is next
Check the sonic death text
Are we but infinite specks
Left perplexed
We drop like Merck Corp. stocks
Trippin' along the beats around the bloc
Steady she goes
Every all is love in every way
Kiss the peace frog with conviction say
Circadian bowling pin manufacturer
Rhythm machine we're dopamine fiends
Studies show genius's pick green
So chlorophyll me up stream
How scalene waltzing to Rotterdam
Dirty Shirley,
Knockin' on the membranes
Of reptile brains like Mr. Furley
Jack the tripper pineapple juice sipper
Don't do crystal, hence no use for blipper
We drop like Merck Corp. stocks
Hypo-thalamus gets outlined with chalk
Steady she goes
Every all is love in every way
Kiss the peace frog with conviction say
To live chromatically
Or achromatically is my choice
So I choose hues of oranges and blues
No doubts, simple purity
Would you be my surety
Should I arrest myself a Nea Culpa
She's golden by the gram
Words like pixie dust
She sweeps the room with a smile
And a broom so chill
Yet so hot got no cupboard for the pot
Pray that this dream is not for cots
We drop around the clock
Trippin' along the beats around the bloc
Steady she goes
Every all is love in every way
Kiss the peace frog with conviction say Auteur : 0luker0 Tags: Drop Around Clock USS Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker rock pop unsigned Welding  |

| The Democratization of Ubiquitous Computing - 3712 sec April 25, 2008 lecture by Leah Buechley for the Stanford University Human Computer Interaction Seminar (CS547).
Computational textile researchers weave, solder and sew electronics into cloth to build soft, flexible and wearable computers. Computational textiles or "e-textiles" is a young discipline, and developments in the field have so far been relegated almost exclusively to research labs in industry and academia. Lisa Buechley presents advancements that make the designing and building of e- textiles accessible to new audiences, describing developments in engineering, design and applications that are helping to democratize creative ubiquitous computing.
