  9. The Phones in Their Pockets • Delivery of content and services to cell phones. • Features • Calendar • Contacts • Tasks • Note Pad • Memos • Calculator • Expense Tracking • Web Access • Music • Photos and Videos • Bluetooth – wireless connectivity • Documents to Go

  10. Mashups and GeoTagging • Mashup - A website that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_%28web_application_hybrid%29 • GeoTagging - the process of adding geographical identification information to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images.

  15. Augmented/Virtual Reality • Bring large data sets to life and have the potential to literally change the way we see the world by creating three-dimensional representations of abstract data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality

  16. QTVR is an Object or Panorama interactive movie. Object movies are created when objects are photographically captured and turned into interactive computer objects that can be experienced three-dimensionally and shared without the original objects actually being handled. http://qtvr.arizona.edu/work2.html Quick Time Virtual Reality (QTVR)
