on 05/03/2013
Excerpt: Summary: As the buzz around football and sports-related brain injury grows, startup Brain Sentry plans to release a new sensor intended to monitor head impacts of young athletes. Like plenty of parents, Nathalie King, a mother in Annapolis, Md. , was worried about her 13-year-old son playing football because of the risk of concussions. As if the statistics aren’t alarming enough — it’s estimated that high school football players sustain between 43,000 and 67,000 concussions a year — a stream of lawsuits against the National Football League has placed the issue even more front and center before the sports and parenting worlds.... read the full post.

Engadget has posted an image of a new watch-based device, patented by Google, which would perform many of the same functions. While the drawing does not necessarily mean such a product is in the works for commercial release, it does hint at an intriguing new direction for the company's move into wearable computing. The device would have familiar Smartwatch functions such as a display, processor and wireless connection - presumably to an Android phone or tablet.... read the full post.

Excerpt: People won’t stop talking about Google Glass, and rightfully so. Ever since the epic parachute-hangout demo, the Valley has been buzzing about the future coming of what is arguably one of the biggest potential advancements in computer interfaces since the iPhone. Lately, the buzz has been bubbling as Google employees, early adopters (Scoble just posted his detailed review), tech bloggers, and contest winners have started to receive their glasses, combined with heavy, consumer-focused advertising, a dedicated fund pairing Google’s own venture arm with two of Sand Hill’s most storied venture capital firms.... read the full post.

Take A ‘Drive' With Google Street View Using Leap Motion And Gesture Controls
techcrunch.com
on 04/25/2013
Excerpt: A new project by Teehan+Lax, the Toronto-based design firm that helped created Ev Williams’ Medium publishing platform, builds on its previous work with Hyperlapse to provide a way to navigate Google Street View with just a wave of your hand. The experiment uses the same engine as Hyperlapse, and takes advantage of an early developer version Leap Motion controller unit to give a user a very cool way to navigate Google Street View. It looks a little like how some of us might have imagined we’d be navigating the Internet in general by now, asked to picture what computing would be like in 15 years time back in 1998, but actually much more intuitive and natural-looking than anything we likely would’ve conceived of back then.... read the full post.
