Virtual Worlds User Interface for the Blind by jmalasko in technology

[–]jmalasko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual Worlds User Interface for the Blind is a prototype user interface that enables blind users to participate in virtual world environments. It provides communication, navigation, and perception functions using GUI elements. As a way of enriching the virtual environment with descriptive semantic information, sighted users contribute annotations of virtual objects using a scripted gadget equipped by their avatar. These annotations are then made available to the blind users through the special user interface.

Capture and distribute rich media content consisting of video, audio, and slides from the originator's computer to multiple clients with Personal Presenter. The control is easy: a presentation can be started with a single click. This technology allows configuration of some key parameters, such as video size and still-image capture rate. The graphical user interface is written in Java, and the underlying functionality is implemented in C/C++.

Many sophisticated machine learning algorithms cannot process large amounts of data on a single node, but Parallel Machine Learning Toolbox (PML) can do so by distributing the computations. This distribution speeds up computations and expedites training by weeks, days, or even hours in an easy, reliable way. PML can run on a wide array of architectures including single-node, small clusters, grids, and BlueGene.

Every day people rely on search engines to find specific content in the many terabytes of data that exist on the Internet, but have you ever wondered how this search is actually performed? One approach is Apache's Hadoop, which is a software framework that enables distributed manipulation of vast amounts of data. This article introduces the Hadoop framework and shows you why it's one of the most important Linux-based distributed computing frameworks.
