Need for new interfaces With Moore’s law shrinking your desktop down to the size of your smartwatch or a future Google Glass knockoff, a lot of ingenuity is going to go into human interfaces that will allow wearables like smartwatches smartwatch and VR and augmented reality glasses (Google Glass) to run your favorite killer apps. We’ve already seen some of this with smartphones touch screens, multi-touch gestures, and, to a lesser extent, speech recognition largely replacing mice and traditional keyboards. If we want to make the form factor even smaller, touch screens become more limiting. Google Glass (and some of its knockoffs) have a touch sensitive panel on one side for more complex inputs, but Glass is intended to be primarily controlled through gaze and voice recognition.… Read the restBiofeedback, Wearables, and Fitness Video Games
This article was originally published by Acculation on another site. As we’ve discussed earlier, one of the reason “sensor laden devices” like smartphones, smartwatches, and the emerging Internet of Things category are so amazing is that all of their uses haven’t yet been invented. There are so many sensors jam-packed into these devices, that software developers are constantly figuring out how to come with novel ways to use these sensors together in newly invented ways. It’s a combination of a large number of sensors jammed into a small space, combined with powerful computers and innovative software that is bringing us into the future. Fitness video games are just one aspect of this wearables revolution. Treating Stress and Pulmonary Disease with Heart Rate Variability Feedback: StressEraser and … Nintendo? Around 2008 one of our team members bought a product called the StressEraser. (It was quite expensive then; it has since fallen to around $130.)… Read the restThe rise in allergies. GMO foods, chemical toxins, or eating habits?
This article was originally published by Acculation on another site. Allergies and severe allergies on the rise; possible causes Allergies are on the rise and no one knows exactly why. A study that just came out in June 2013 surprised experts showing that 1 in 12 American children had allergies (of which 40% were considered severe), more than twice the number expected. (Children and young adults are the demographic most affected by allergies; fortunately many will outgrow them.) The exact causes are being debated. Increasing concentrations of chemical toxins in the environment are one possible cause. Another are potential culprit are GMO (Genetically modified) foods. A third cause might be changes in dietary patterns, including exposure or lack of exposure to allergens at a young age. The advice here from experts is contradictory, with some experts recommending avoid exposure to peanuts before age 1 while other experts making the exact opposite recommendation, revealing just how little is known about the interaction between the immune system and the digestive tract.… Read the restRepurposing that dead weight on your wrist
This article was originally published by Acculation on another site. The coming smartwatch revolution They say that, thanks to smartphones, no one under age thirty still wears a watch. Who needs a heavy weight on your wrist when your smartphone can give you time? Watches are about to come back in a major way, however. Apple, Dell, Microsoft, and Google have all announced smartwatches. (And there’s plenty of existing entrants that are either smart watches or can be worn like one, like the Pebble and FitBit One, which are flying off the shelves at big box stores even if the salespeople haven’t figured quite figured out the difference between a smartwatch and a sportswatch.) Computers are getting smaller as a consequence of Moore’s Law, and new form factors are needed. Your smartwatch will be more powerful than today’s desktops. And corporate giants are about to spend millions to capture what they believe is a $300 billion space.… Read the restRecent Comments
