I can't believe that the semester is done. This class has taught me more than creativity and innovation. Team work and collaboration on all the different activities and projects has been awesome. I definately think out of the box now as before it was more of a reflex thought process. In class today we had two presentations of their verge projects. One was a E-card system for shopping and savings and the other was a jersey that had the capability to change the name or numbers if your player left the team or whatever. Both ideas were good but at this point I lean more towards the jersey. I think it is a more marketable idea.
Our own verge project has taken on a life of its own and I don't believe that it will end with this class. Everyone has added considerable amounts of research and time into this thing to not follow it to fruition. One thing we used was mind mapping to get all our ideas out in the open. This let us identify any areas that we needed to research better and just tie up a lot of loose ends. I know we will have a great presentation.
I found a very cool innovation while searching the web. Facial recognition glasses that are worn by law enforcement officials in Brazil. These glasses scan a crowd of people at 400 faces a second and are accurate up to 50 yards. If a known terrorist or criminal is recognized from a large data base, a red light comes on in the lenses so the wearer is aware of it. These will be in use for the 2014 World Cup Games and the 2016 Olympics.
I plan on keeping my Blog and the Wiki updated as they are a very useful piece of technology. We just have to keep letting others know how to use them and get more people on board.
