未來電視

全像式的3d電視節目(像是已經出現在科學博物館的動態加強彩色版),十年內有可能? "According to Peyghambarian, they could be constructed as a screen on the wall (like flat panel displays) that shows 3-D images, with all the image writing lasers behind the wall; or it could be like a horizontal panel on a table with holographic writing apparatus underneath. So, if this project is realized, you really could have a football match on your coffee table, or horror-movie villains jumping out of your wall."

把立體電影院搬回家,連上網...

"浸入式蠶繭"(immersive Cocoon)計畫 , very cool. 好像把立體電影院搬回家,連上網。 以前的類似產品較多是著重在頭部類似頭盔的設計,而這個是全方位螢幕包圍的虛擬空間。 如果真能普及,不管是遊戲,教育,旅遊(虛擬/真實地點),會議,社群... 效果都能上好幾個台階吧。 更多介紹:http://www.i-cocoon.com/

人機介面by心電感應

"" However, Emotiv's Le strongly defended the headset, saying it "works on a vast majority of people and can adapt to a wide variety of thought patterns. Emotiv has carried out tests with hundreds of people and so far we have had success on every single person," Le said. While the speed of the revolution pushing the gaming world is hotly debated, one thing all experts agree on is the underlying themes of future games. Gamers can be certain that social interaction and strong storylines will strengthen to form the core of games.""

火眼金睛來了

像是隱形眼鏡一樣的虛擬螢幕裝置,已經開始由實驗室嘗試開發之中,還安全的裝在小白兔的眼睛上。雖然目前看來還是概念性試驗,感覺起來距離科幻片的情節又更靠近了一步,而且也充滿可想像的巨大商機。 " There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle's speed projected onto the windshield. Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see. " "There is a large area outside of the transparent part of the eye that we can use for placing instrumentation," Parviz said. Future improvements will add wireless communication to and from the lens. The researchers hope to power the whole system using a combination of radio-frequency power and solar cells placed on the lens, Parviz said.

新無障礙技術WebAnywhere

不用安裝特殊的軟硬體,視力障礙人士將能透過網路直接使用WebAnywhere " New software, called WebAnywhere, launched today lets blind and visually impaired people surf the Web on the go. The tool developed at the University of Washington turns screen-reading into an Internet service that reads aloud Web text on any computer with speakers or headphone connections. " 在傳統桌面程式逐步移轉為web based 線上服務形式的時候,使用上的無障礙相關技術與服務朝向相同方向演進也是十分自然的。

jQuery

http://jquery.com/ jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages ... 沒錯,就是一個這麼好用的Library,讓人能告別與JavaScript不相容問題奮戰的年頭。 在使用者介面的部份,許多標準化的元件也逐步建構之中。相信再過不久,要完成互動性更接近桌面程式的網頁介面會更加容易達成啦。
