...objects also provide a link into a computer network. Doctors can examine patients while viewing superimposed medical images; children can program their own LEGO constructions; construction engineers can use ordinary paper engineering drawings to communicate with distant colleagues. Rather than immersing people in an artificiallycreated virtual world, the goal is to augment objects in the physical world by enhancing them with a wealth of digital information and communication capabilities. KEYWORDS: Augmented Reality, Interactive Paper, Design Space Exploration, Participatory Design INTRODUCTION Computers are everywhere: in the past several decades they have transformed our work and our lives. But the conversion from traditional work with physical objects to the use of computers has not been easy. Software designers may omit small, but essential, details from the original system that result in catastrophic failures. Even the act of typing is not benign: repetitive strain injuries (RSI) due to overuse of the keyboard has become the major source of workmen's compensation claims in the United States and causes over 250,000 surgeries per year. The "paper-less" office has proven to be a myth: not only are office workers still inundated with paper, but they must now handle increasing quantities of electronic information. Worse, they are poorly equipped to...

For our final production our 5min drama there really wasn’t much interviewing but we did have to build a rapport with the actors so it was a smoother working environment. This I did with ease. | M.

...Genetic engineering is a very new and undiscovered topic. Bioengineers have been experimenting with cells in petri dishes, trying to clone cells and mutate them. Scientists have even figured out how to change human DNA before it's even born. Doing so allows them to change physical features, abilities, and prevent certain diseases such as alzheimer's. I imagine that genetic engineering is very helpful and could potentially further our society. However, it is illegal to change or mutate DNA in a child in the US. Specifically modifying or editing gene cells or embryos so that a child has certain features are called “designer babies.” Designer babies could be of great help to society. For example, if the next generation is biologically smarter,...

...ERM 7-Step Process ERM 7-Step Process According to Harb, Enterprise Risk Management is people, systems and processes working together across the organizations to systematically think about and manage a wide range of risks that could impede achieving organizational objectives/opportunities. In this paper we will discuss the potential tort risk that arose as a result of Non-Linear Pro leasing unsatisfactory equipment to Quick Takes, and how to effectively apply the 7-Step Enterprise Risk Management process in evaluating the violation that was imposed upon Quick Takes by Non-Linear Pro, when they failed to supply equipment that performed as advertised it to perform. In the Product Liability Video, Non-Linear Pro leased hardware to Quick Takes. The equipment was leased to Quick Takes with the understanding that it would speed up editing time. Quick Takes soon discovered that the equipment did not have enough memory to get the job done, which caused their competent editors to work tirelessly for two weeks with little results. From the video we gather that Non Linear Pro has committed several tort violations in the dealings with Quick Takes such as: 1. Misrepresenting the quality of the product. 2. Express Warranties – Non Linear Pro made the express warranty as to the way a product would perform, guaranteeing the product would in fact perform that way. 3. Breach of Contract – Product did not perform the way it is intended to. 4. Damages: Benefit of the Bargain- Employees...

Most people have never heard about the term of “In-Flight Entertainment” and have no understanding what this topic is all about. They take it for granted that they get entertained on a long distance or even short distance flight. Movies, music, applications and games are seen as natural given things on board of an airplane and most people don´t understand that there is much more behind it than just pulling their screen out of their armrest or turning the screen on, which is mounted to the backrest of their front seat. From the past till the present, when everyone has its own screen and can choose from a variety of entertainment options, it was a long way to go. Started with exhibitions of silent movies on linen by 16mm film reels at the beginning of the early 1920´s, as mankind was just about to conquer the sky and aviation was still in its infancy, up to black and white TV screens in the 1960´s, until today, with every passenger having its own LCD screen in front.
