  • Google Starts Visual Search for Mobile Devices and Realtime Search in the Internet
    Communiqué de presse New Search Functions: Google starts visual search for mobile devices and realtime search in the internet Zurich, December 7, 2009 – Google was founded as a search company, and we continue to dedicate more time and energy to search than anything else we do. Today at an event in California, Google announced some innovative new additions to the search family: Google Goggles (Labs) is a new visual search application for Android devices that allows you to search with a picture instead of words. When you take a picture of an object with the camera on your phone, we attempt to recognize the item, and return relevant search results. Have you ever seen a photo of a beautiful place and wanted to know where it is? Or stumbled across something in the newspaper and wanted to learn more? Have you ever wanted more information about a landmark you’re visiting? Or wanted to store the contact details from a business card while you’re on the go? Goggles can help with all of these, and more. Google Goggles works by attempting to match portions of a picture against our corpus of images. When a match is found, we return search terms that are relevant to the matched image. Goggles currently recognizes tens of millions of objects, including places, famous works of art, and logos. For places, you don't even need to take a picture. Just open Google Goggles and hold your phone in front of the place you're interested in, then using the device’s GPS and compass, Goggles will recognise what that place is and display its name on the camera viewfinder.

  • Mashing-Up Maps Google Geo Services and the Geography Of
    Mashing-up Maps Google Geo Services and the Geography of Ubiquity Craig M. Dalton A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Scott Kirsch Dr. Banu Gokariksel Dr. Kenneth Hillis Dr. John Pickles Dr. Sarah Sharma © 2012 Craig M. Dalton ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CRAIG DALTON: Mashing-up Maps: Google Geo Services and the Geography of Ubiquity (Under the direction of Scott Kirsch) How are Google geo services such as Google Maps and Google Earth shaping ways of seeing the world? These geographic ways of seeing are part of an influential and problematic geographic discourse. This discourse reaches hundreds of millions of people, though not all have equal standing. It empowers many people to make maps on the geoweb, but within the limits of Google’s business strategy. These qualities, set against the state-centeredness of mapmaking over the last six hundred years, mark the Google geo discourse as something noteworthy, a consumer-centered mapping in a popular geographic discourse. This dissertation examines the Google geo discourse through its social and technological history, Google’s role in producing and limiting the discourse, and the subjects who make and use these maps. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation was only possible with the help of a large number of people. I owe each a debt of gratitude. Chief among them is a fantastic advisor, Scott Kirsch. His patience, grace, and good criticism saw me through the trials of graduate school.

Los teléfonos móviles en la actualidad son un elemento indispensable más de las personas junto con las llaves de casa y la cartera con los documentos personales. En el año 2011, la población total de la Tierra superaba la asombrosa cantidad de siete mil millones de personas. En ese mismo año, se calculaba que el número de teléfonos móviles en el mundo era superior a los 5.600 millones. Los dispositivos móviles cuentan con gran variedad de sensores: acelerómetro, sensor de luz, sensor de temperatura, barómetro, sensor de gravedad, sensor de presión; Sensores que recopilan información de su entorno que puede ser utilizada para comprar la situación del terminal. El objetivo de este proyecto es el análisis, el diseño y el desarrollo de un sistema para monitorizar remotamente los valores de los sensores de dispositivos móviles.

  • Abstract Augmented Reality (Ar): a School Library App To
    ABSTRACT AUGMENTED REALITY (AR): A SCHOOL LIBRARY APP TO ENGAGE HIGH SCHOOL RELUCTANT READERS TO READ FOR PLEASURE Kai Rush, Ph.D. Department of Educational Technology, Research and Assessment Northern Illinois University, 2017 Rebecca D. Hunt, Director If a student does not read for pleasure, studies have shown it can be detrimental to a student’s academic success. Augmented Reality (AR) has shown positive results in schools, classrooms and public libraries, but could be beneficial as a school library tool to help reluctant readers select books to read for pleasure. In this qualitative case study, seven high school level reluctant readers were given the opportunity, through augmented reality apps, to explore books that could help them read for pleasure. Over a school's quarter semester (9 weeks), seven high school level reluctant readers used Aurasma and LayAR to watch book trailers or click links for 55 books of different genres to guide them in finding a book to read for pleasure. The seven high school level reluctant readers were studied through nine interviews and three observations periods to understand the relevance of the AR app recommendations, their engagement with the AR apps, and the reading materials chosen after usage of the AR apps. The seven high school level reluctant readers were given reading recommendations by teachers, the school librarian or other recommenders, but reported they could not independently pick books they enjoyed. Each high school reluctant reader was independently studied and cross-analyzed to find themes that helped or hampered their reading for pleasure. Sustained silent reading, class libraries, and academic issues played into this study, as major factors for success or failures.
