Eye Tracking : New Zealand Telecom
January 11, 2010 by alexanderhayes · 2 Comments
John Eyles and I met in New Zealand and shot a number of short video’s ( at John’s instigation ) which delved a little deeper into the psychology of body-worn POV equipment most particularly framed within the educational context of immersive learning.
Admittedly I wander a little bit in this short and nicely edited piece of documentary style interview however the general gist of where we were heading to is ever more apparent. What I’m keen to explore with John is as to the plethora of instructional POV which mashed with other mainstream static, handheld or vehicle mounted video.
The main point of this video that John has kindly shared with us is that POV body-worn camera technology essentially equips the viewer with a “true” sense of the skill, task or human action subset of knowledge required to repeat or emulate such a recording.
I’m keen to wok with John to explore a range of scenarios in 2010 that could be taken to a commercial, educational & technology oriented conclusion for customers as diverse and forward thinking as New Zealand Telecom.
Streamfolio

After a years deliberation and a hundred differing ways to say the same thing as a web entity, we at EDUPOV have decided on a term to describe our streamed video portfolio platform which has quietly launched itself in beta-1.0 form.
The brand we have decided to name as Streamfolio™
In many discussions over the last five years Geoff Lubich has been the foundation creator of a product to conceptually provide users with:
a personal live streaming, viewing, broadcasting, recording, shareable video portfolio accessible anywhere online……..
Leo has always been quick to add that the development build bigger picture includes:
- anywhere login via the Streamfolio™ widget
- multi-ID authentication
- mobile access | upload app.
- perpetual licence for plug | play
- leading LMS , CMS and eportfolio integration via Streamfolio™ plugin
- premium multi-format output | input encoder
I am of the opinion ( reason for NZ trip ) that Streamfolio™ has natural extension into:
- virtual rez. screening asset integration
- Flash ad. campaigning
- subscription augmentation playback
- geo-informational encoder
As I sit quietly here at Sydney airport awaiting my flight to Auckland I no longer have to imagine what has transpired over a years hard slog and five years of multi-modal conversations to bring about EDUPOV and Streamfolio™
I am also very confident that the next steps forward are indeed cloud driven with international virtual audiences.

Geoff has excelled himself and has iteration 2 on the way out for the EDUPOV 1 kit. Now these look far more robust and yes they add a little in terms of overall costs however the sustainability of the kit is assured and the protection of the gear is improved markedly.
