The Real Technology of Indiana Jones
|
|
Archaeologists no longer rely on whips and fedoras; they now use a range of sophisticated digital tools to collect information in the field and study it in the lab. Too often, though, this wealth of information meets the same fate as Indy's discoveries, locked away in digital 'warehouses' where no one can see it. The archaeologists on this panel present different projects that use web platforms and open-source approaches to bring digital archaeology out of the warehouse and into the public eye. Learn how archaeologists are using interactive media to open their data and processes to the public; discuss the creation of an online archaeological community in Second Life; and explore ancient cities across space and time using publicly-available online tools.

Music 2.0 = Music Discovery Chaos?
|
|
The way we discover music has entirely changed in less than 10 years. Radio’s aging demo is presented with safe mainstream offerings. Music discovery is at the forefront of technology and social networks, yet no new standard has successfully been adopted. Websites abound attempt at both data and user generated rating/filter systems. Human VS algorithm: what method can save us?

Why Do Web Sites All Look Alike?
|
|
With a myriad of bite size applications that exist with open APIs, we still see applications that rely on form pushing and list generation interaction models. Delivering experiences beyond forms and lists requires new thinking, design, and technologies that innovate user interactions and visualize data efficiently, with no compromise in performance. Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) aim to deliver high fidelity experiences through the use of new tools and technologies on multiple channels such as web, mobile, and out-of-home applications. What are these new tools and technologies, what are considerations of appropriate usage, and what do RIAs look like?

How does this online manifestation of the city interact in tangible ways with urban design and informal urban constructs? Is there such a thing as "the street as platform"?

Web 3.0 or Web 3D? Web Decentralization, Disaggregation & Democratization
|
|
Widgets and other distributed technologies are driving the decentralization and democratization of the web. This presentation focuses on the technical and business implications of these trends, particularly as they relate to emerging open standards for data portability, "ownership" of user generated content and publisher and advertiser "control" over distributed services. It will include an interactive website, giving participants collective control over both the form and substance of the conversation.
