Eye-tracking technology opens alternatives to computer interaction

New technology developed allows users to navigate a screen with nothing but their eyes. The setup works by two mounted cameras detecting infrared light reflected off a users eyeballs and retinas. These pinpoint where a user is looking on screen.

A brilliant piece of technolgy which no doubt will be a subtle addition to anyones computing set up in the future.

I also remember reading an article on Stephen Hawking's interest in this field going back some time now in hopes of moving from his current method of communication with cheek movements, I'm not sure of his current methods of communication but this would certainly be a move he would head. No doubt there will be substancial publicity around this fact if he does.

iPad 2 launched

It's always exciting for us to see technology progressing in the way of WiFi enabled devices. Companies such as Apple are constantly setting th benchmark and as a result more and more users are making the move to have the internet at their hands.

Such developments is fantastic for us who are striving to get every city offering a FREE WiFi network for it's public. Not only does this allow the public to access high speed FREE INTERNET via our networks but it allows them to access city collected and streamlined content that we build.

The new iPad offers cameras on back and front, is thinner than the previous model and has doubled it's speed since the original model.

Good to see Jobs commited to showcasing the new model considering his recent health issues!

City Wifi Landscaping

This is a very cool project in Oslo, Norway by a group of 3. They set out to evaluate the flow of WiFi within their city by using a 4m LED rod, the stronger the wifi signal the longer the length of the rod lights up. By use of photography they managed to very uniquely show the invisible network within their city.
