It wasn’t long ago that e-Learning developers thought that putting a simple Flash animation and a small sound file into their e-Learning offerings was really leading-edge stuff. But today much more advanced technology, like higher bandwidth, gaming, and immersive learning techniques, is easily available. And, ever-more-sophisticated learners, who are demanding more effective and absorbing e-Learning programs, are pushing

While using the camera on a mobile phone, a holographic image can be made from the blood sample and be sent to any place where they can analyze the image of the blood sample. In one prototype, a slide holding a finger prick of blood can be inserted over the phone’s camera sensor. At the Institute of Tropical Medicine we focus on a lot of tropical diseases. In the quest to conquer those diseases there are a lot of hurdles to take and one is the lack of analyzing facilities in the field.

We bought a video camera, a microphone and the software and were ready to get to work. In several recent posts I have discussed video production projects that I'm working on. I find it interesting that I have come to a point in my career where I spend so much time taking and editing video into quality projects that are used for a variety of purposes. To give credit where credit is due the only reason

In the sim Display , a point of view /field of view that lets the participant see the virtual world from just behind and above their avatar . A third person (or chase) view in a sim is often augmented with a heads up display (HUD) . Third person perspective. Here I am talking to Karl Kapp in Protosphere.

am putting up a mugshot of his right here for anyone willing to marry this ineligible bachelor!! Which reminds me, I have a shiny new digital camera; a Sony DSC-P150 ... tried plugging in the camera to see if it hotplugged and did a #mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera . GPhoto2 is a program to access digital camera, via PTP. Some people get so starry eyed talking about their hometown. Vijay was in that kind of mood telling me about Vijaywada.

If you’re shopping for a Christmas gift in the $400 range, check out this camera, the Canon S90 . I’ve used lots of digital pocket cameras. What I really love is the camera’s ability to take bright photos in low-light conditions. (I All in all, this is a simply amazing None of them hold a candle to the S90.

If rapid elearning software makes everyone an instructional designer, then surely a digital camera makes us all photographers. The problem with a lot of digital cameras is that after you take the shot, it looks great on that tiny LCD screen. Your best bet is to use a tripod (or at least rest the camera on a solid surface). Going to a stock image site and looking for just the right pictures can be very time-consuming and a drain on your limited resources. Why not create your own stock images?

But the real power comes from the camera movement and views. Because you’re in a 3D environment, you can move the camera around to quickly change the look and feel of your scenario. I changed the camera angle and then added an action to add a little drama. The advantage to this approach This is kind of a bittersweet post. Originally, I was going to write about using Google Lively’s virtual world to build scenes and characters for your elearning courses.

For example, if you had to spend $10,000 to hire a camera crew to come out and do a video shoot then you’d probably have all of the scripts and talent well prepared. However, if you can quickly create a video on your handheld camera and upload it to YouTube then you might be tempted to just “wing-it”. Have the subject matter expert (SME) address the camera, and do not just show screen A lot of training is using video and it’s becoming very easy to create and distribute. As things become easier and cheaper we often see the quality decrease.
