Google launches Glass Dev Kit preview, shows off augmented reality apps Today Google launched the Glass Development Kit (GDK) "Sneak Preview," which will finally allow developers to make real, native apps for Google Glass. While there have previously been extremely limited Glass apps that used the Mirror API, developers now have full access to the hardware. Google Glass runs a heavily skinned version of Android 4.0.4, so Glass development is very similar to Android development. The GDK is downloaded through the Android SDK Manager, and Glass is just another target device in the Eclipse plugin. Developers have access to the Glass voice recognition within their app as an intent, but it looks like only Google can add "OK, Glass" commands to the main voice menu. Update: Documentation for the GDK has come out, and any developer can add a voice trigger to the "Ok Glass" menu. Google showed off a few of the first native Glass apps, and one of the coolest among them was Wordlens, a real-time, augmented-reality translation app.
Welcome to Leopoly | Leopoly.com Technology | Suneris Our technology is a gel that instantly stops bleeding without the need to apply pressure. In a fraction of a second, the gel activates the body's own clotting process, producing a durable clot over the injured site. The gel adheres to the sides of the wound, allowing it to combat the high pressure of severely bleeding wounds. The gel quickly and safely achieves hemostasis. Once the gel has stopped the bleeding, it can either be easily removed or left in place to facilitate faster healing of the surrounding tissue. The gel comes with an accompanying spray that polymerizes the gel into a substance that looks, feels, and acts like surrounding tissue.

Alternate reality game An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. Subsequently, it is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game. Definition[edit] There is a great deal of debate surrounding the characteristics by which the term "alternate reality game" should be defined. Several experts, though, point to the use of transmedia, "the aggregate effect of multiple texts/media artifacts,"[2] as the defining attribute of ARGs. Unique terminology[edit] Among the terms essential to understand discussions about ARGs are: Computer/console/video games. Influences and precursors[edit]
