Panoram display on the cheap

Roland and Colin setup the panoram display in the vislab using 4 projectors. Roland got the display up using static panoramas, GigaPan, and <a href="http://www.flightgear.org/">FlightGear</a>. <br /><br /> <img title="Roland showing off the 4 projectors" withgrayborder="True" src="http://schwehr.org/blog/attachments/2010-03/panoram-roland.jpg"/> <br /><br /> <img title="Roland at the controls" withgrayborder="True" src="http://schwehr.org/blog/attachments/2010-03/panoram-operating.jpg"/> <br /><br /> Being that flight gear is based on open source toolkits, there is a good chance that we can hook our AIS feed to this and drive the ships around to match actual traffic. <br /><br /> <img title="" withgrayborder="True" src="http://schwehr.org/blog/attachments/2010-03/panoram-flightsim-ship.jpg"/>

Chilean Earthquake Shortened Earth's Day

ailnlv writes "Days on Earth just got shorter. The recent earthquake in Chile shifted the planet's axis by about 8 cm and shortened days by 1.26 microseconds 'The changes can be modeled, though they're difficult to detect physically given their small size... Some changes may be more obvious, and islands may have shifted... Santa Maria Island off the coast near Concepcion, Chile's second-largest city, may have been raised 2 meters (6 feet) as a result of the latest quake...'"

Project Noah: Networked Organisms and Habitats

Project Noah is a free mobile application that nature lovers can use to explore and document local wildlife and a common technology platform that research groups can use to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere. Noah stands for networked organisms and habitats.

Now available worldwide as an iPhone app in iTunes [iTunes link], Project Noah aims to become a common mobile platform for documenting the world's organisms. Beyond documentation, the iPhone app offers users an opportunity to participate in ongoing citizen science research projects through specifically designed field missions and can be used as a location-based field guide as well. All contributors are connected with an online community, bridging the documentation process.

The project has been picking up steam lately and has been featured by the Council for the Internet of Things, IBM's Smarter Planet, GOOD and is in pilot studies with schools for use as an educational tool.
