'Time machine' made to visually explore space and time in videos: Time-lapse GigaPans provide new way to access big data

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Apr. 22, 2011) — Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute have leveraged the latest browser technology to create GigaPan Time Machine, a system that enables viewers to explore gigapixel-scale, high-resolution videos and image sequences by panning or zooming in and out of the images while simultaneously moving back and forth through time.

Viewers, for instance, can use the system to focus in on the details of...

CD image import reduces unnecessary imaging exams in emergency rooms

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Apr. 19, 2011) — Each year, more than two million critically ill patients are transferred from one hospital emergency department (ED) to another for appropriate care. With the ability to successfully import data from a CD-ROM containing the patient's diagnostic medical images, hospitals may be able to significantly reduce unnecessary medical imaging tests, some of which expose patients to radiation.

These findings are reported in...

Personal touch: Hearing a heartbeat has the same effect as looking each other in the eye

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Apr. 8, 2011) — Hearing the heartbeat of someone you are talking to gives the same feeling of personal contact as looking each other in the eye. This is the remarkable conclusion of research at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in partnership with Stanford University and Philips Research. The research focuses on improving human contact when using digital communication channels.

Tiny 'on-chip detectors' count individual photons

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Mar. 21, 2011) — A team of researchers has integrated tiny detectors capable of counting individual photons on computer chips. These detectors, called "single-photon avalanche diodes (SPAD)," act like mini Geiger counters, producing a "tick" each time a photon is detected.

The researchers present their findings in Applied Physics Letters, a journal published by the American Institute of Physics.

"In the past, making these...

Facebook photo sharing reflects focus on female appearance

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Mar. 7, 2011) — In a new study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, University at Buffalo researcher Michael A. Stefanone, PhD, and colleagues found that females who base their self worth on their appearance tend to share more photos online and maintain larger networks on online social networking sites.

He says the results suggest that females identify more strongly with their image and...
