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.

Another example of geo-locative back-to-base technology that could be employed for education and training.

A close colleague of mine has reported this morning that one of the most progressive and informative resources for educators on the web – the Secondlife In Education wiki is being challenged with;
‘not to use our trademark “Second Life” in your name or website name and not to use “SLeducation” in text or in your domain name…’ and to ‘..make the changes to your website name and domain name as soon as possible and let us know when you expect to have this done…’

Jo Kay has openly used this Wikispaces account as an open way to bring business TO Secondlife and it seems very strange for Linden to now come back with an infringement notice.
I am hoping we can move forward from this issue in a positive way, and will be endeavoring to do just that! I’ll also be working to consolidate my research into a number of other virtual worlds platforms, with a view to diversifying both the wiki and the Islands of Jokaydia’s virtual presence…..”
We support Jo’s positive approach and we look forward to hearing that this fracas in fact has brought Jokaydia the traffic it deserves.
Likewise a JoKaydian OpenSim is looking more and more inviting
