Triumphs Personified

Creating simulations uptil now was just about arranging the right learning content after the current one based on the input of the user or at the max it probably could go upto showing a 3D environments. Perhaps that was the best way we eLearning guys could visualize the learners learning in a simulated environment. But is that really it? Well, perhaps not. I found this video over here and when I showed this to my team, they thought I peeped into the future but minutes later, we were close building a simple basic example of Augmented Reality. Yeah, post-that as a technology person, I feel Augmented Reality is the future of simulated learning environments. Watch this video to get a load of simulations using Augmented Reality.

Google has attempted to do this circus before, and none of it succeeded. On top of all, Facebook has recently launched their new upgrade(Subscription and Lists) that is better than the USP of G+ i.e. Circles. Though, G+ brought it first FB just bettered it and released it just in time when Google + was made open for the public. This strategic move has diverted the attention of the existing masses of FB(that was more vulnerable to go on G+ to find something new) in exploring the new features of FB more than checking out what G+ is all about. Looking at all of this its certainly not going to be a cakewalk for G+. Probably market penetration for G+ is going to take some good time. Also, since past couple of releases Google has been in the news for all the wrong reasons so certain amount(negligible but still considerable amount) of 'back of the mind' hesitation for signing up for a new Google product can probably be there. Another advantage for FB is probably that Google opened up ...

Have been trying Google+ since past couple of weeks, and I must say that I don't foresee it as a possible threat to Facebook anywhere. (Wonder what Mark Zuckerberg is doing on Google+?) It probably might be a worthy competitor for Twitter instead, but for me I think twitter is more of like a plain vanilla flavour of Google+… No non-sense anywhere. I can follow any random guy on Twitter and that is what Google+ allows me to do(Yeah, if I have the permission). Google+ has a "Facebook Wall" inspired layout but it’s really hard to navigate(and understand) the rest of the functions too. Well Google’s radically different attempt at interactive messaging known as Google Wave failed just because people could not figure out what it was or how to use it. It was too scary unfamiliar and the fear of messing things up on a social network always haunted ones mind as his social image was at stakes. Oh yes, as compared to that, Plus plays it a lot safer and seems to be more of a derivati...

Slowly and steadily, the picture of the Indian Telecommunication Industry is changing day by day. With pigeons and flying carpets just like those in Indian stories and movies, India has definitely come a long way with the introduction of 3G for message communication. Just recently 3G networks set its foot in India and Indians are up with excitement with what this miraculous technology can do for them. This technical article discusses what 3G is and articulates the benefits that you can experience using a 3G network/spectrum. Before we start, let us understand what exactly a spectrum is. Wikipidea® describes Spectrum as "A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums[1]) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary infinitely within a continuum". Simplified way, it means collection of values representing a specific order. Going closer, in context of the article, Radio spectrum is what we are going to look into and it refers to a range of radio frequenc...

Yesterday one of my friend’s status messages read "Hmm…What good are Zoozoo ads with subtitles. No fun!!!". It seems that this time Vodafone has a different strategy for advertisement with Zoozoo’s. It probably wants to focus more on the ad-brand rather than the cute characters that stole the lime-light last Cricket season. Well, certainly the 'curiosity' factor of these type of suspenseful ad's is expected to be high and they are intended to gain high attention but certainly awkward during the 40 second break in-between of a bowling over or wicket of a very exciting match. A year back, Vodafone’s media strategy to air these ads during IPL(somewhat)worked for the brand but the downside was that the characters were always a bigger story than the actual brand. It’s hard to digest but the audience has a minimal capacity to understand features while the characters take away the limelight with their cuteness and novelness. Realizing the same fact Vodafone now has t...
