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 isĀ  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.

HD & Hogs

A number of EDUPOV clients are testing POV technologies in a range of setting and many of the testing scenarios extend upon the purist ” body-worn” concept governing what differentiates true POv with that of vehicle DVR’s.

Stephan Ridgway from TAFE NSW Sydney Institute has informed us of his latest social bike ride with the Sydney HOG Chapter ride from Trivett Harley Davidson to Gerroa via a stop at Stanwell Tops. He has filmed this ride using the ContourHD POV camera mounted to the handle bar of the motorbike. It was filmed in HD 1280×720 edited in Adobe Premier Elements 7.0 and exported to HD format then uploaded directly to Youtube with a total file size of 1.2 gb.

Stephan reports that ContourHD will be bringing out a full 1080HD version of the camera sooner than later.

When anything goes.

Where quality counts.

Ensuring your field of view.

When size counts.
