Another brilliant example of POV ( ContourHD) in the field this time complete with apprentices in the context of an education training session. Hot off the press courtesy of Stephan Ridgway, bloodhound tech on the ground in sunny Sydney !

Shortly I’ll be departing for Dunedin via Auckland to the upcoming GNI Symposium , co-presenting with John Eyles who has graciously offered to host me on Waiheke Island for a few days also
Here’s some blurb about what we are up to and how it all fits into the bigger EDUPOV picture:
Presentation Description: Technology Enhanced Collaboration.
An interactive view of emerging point of view technologies (POV) and their intersection with communication, art and science. This presentation posits future directions for where POV can augment technology enhanced collaboration at the intersection of education and entertainment. Alex will utilize wearable point-of-view technologies to engage both physical and the virtual GNI audiences including live-to-field streaming of education oriented training and assessment underway in rural and remote locations of Australia. John will look at issues around connectivity, engagement and mobility for achieving great communication across contexts, and will invite participants from around the world to collaborate.

Keywords: POV, mobility, mobile devices, bridging between the real and virtual, global, Voip, APIs, cloud computing, self serve-mash ups, dashboards and the power of networks, the social operating system.
You’ll notice from the description of the session that we have set a high benchmark for ourselves in ensuring things connect and operate from the Adelaid server end of things and that our suppliers get our gear to us ASAP so I can hop onto the plane with it
I can see some great connections coming from this trip. the greatest challenge will be ensuring I get to connecting flights !

Today we saw Lavendilli Blue take another leap into the web with an update on content in their efforts to find retailers for their great products. EDUPOV has assisted in hosting the Magento E-commerce online platform and with a little tweaking and a few more terms & conditions pages filled in there should be some substantial change in the manner in which people relate to the web presence of their business.
Like the GJKerr enterprise it’s in how the site is used by the owners as well as the visitors. It’s also about how they network the network to know of their good oil……perfect pizzas and some bloody good wine top boot. My wife Jane returned home happy and rested on a Sunday afternoon…..thats a pretty hard thing to accomplish with someone living in a renovation with a belly full of baby.
One day I should write down some principles behind what I’m doing with clients for my own memory if nothing more. Might make a good book.
For now I’m concentrating on bringing examples through to the web in my own way over at alexanderhayes.com
