Bristol-Myers Squibb is donating a dollar to fight AIDS every time someone goes to their website and moves the match to the candle and lights it. This site is functional and well designed, and contains memories and stories from AIDS health care workers, family, friends and survivors.

Here is a link to my final website project

Philips Photonic Textiles

When I was surfing through some information on my thesis project, I came across this cool design by Philips. This is called "Turn fabrics into intelligent displays" and wanted to share with you.
"Within Philips Research, the Photonic Textiles business unit will develop and commercialize products based on the concept as we have shown at the IFA. Photonic textiles open up a wide range of applications in the fields of ambient lighting, communication, and personal health care. Photonic textiles are still a young business. Even at this early stage, however, Philips envisions partnerships with interior and apparel brands that see the potential of photonic textiles to revolutionize the very concept of fabric. The demonstration at IFA is also meant to show the opportunities offered by this technology and to gain customers’ and visitors’ feedback on these options." endless technology...

Check out this web site!

I think this site is one of the best interactive web site i ever seen.
one great thing about the site is that you can change menu location by dragging it.


Overview of the site:

They Rule aims to provide a glimpse of some of the relationships of the US ruling class. It takes as its focus the boards of some of the most powerful U.S. companies, which share many of the same directors. Some individuals sit on 5, 6 or 7 of the top 500 companies. It allows users to browse through these interlocking directories and run searches on the boards and companies. A user can save a map of connections complete with their annotations and email links to these maps to others. They Rule is a starting point for research about these powerful individuals and corporations.

The Super Cool Photo Booth Thing !

This is a flash that we made. We meant to use it for our presentation for our device.

(o_o)a kinida didn't get a chance to show it. So we'll just blog it.. we put it on newgrounds because it is the probably the best place to get hosting for flash movies. You guys can watch it when you get a chance.

route-tracking service system in Korea

This article is about Korean's cell phone company, SK telecome KFT's route tracking service system.


With the nation seeking ways to crack down on sex crimes, wireless operators could reap the benefits by offering location-based services.
These services are being touted as possibly one of the best preventive measures against sex offenders repeating their crime after release from prison.

The country`s largest wireless operator SK Telecom Co. has seen the subscription of its safety-related services rise from 2.45 million last December to 2.61 million last February, SK Telecom said.

It means that 152,000 new customers have joined the service during the last two months.

Subscribers of the second-largest operator KTF Co.`s "mobile police" service also increased 23 percent during the same period, from 85,000 to 105,000, the company said.

The smallest carrier LG Telecom Ltd. also added 30,000 new subscribers to its "friend-search" service during the same period.

Thanks to the widespread use of location-based technologies, like the global positioning system, mobile-phone users are able to get accurate information on the whereabouts of loved ones.

There are even ways to use these services for free.

SK Telecom`s "emergency call" service, for instance, enables a user to simultaneously call four persons, who are listed as their "protectors in emergency," by simply pressing a hot-key on his mobile handset.

Automatically, information on his whereabouts and an electronic map appear in the window of the four receiving handsets.

To use the service, the subscriber needs a handset equipped with GPS functions.

Also, the carrier`s "i-Kids" service enables parents to keep track of their children using their cell phones, the internet and GPS satellite technology.

Parents can use the service free of charge up to 20 times but get charged 80 won per use after that.

The mobile carrier also offers the so-called "safety zone" service.

Designed for kids` safety, the service gives general information on a child`s location, by setting up three different safety zones, each with a two-kilometer radius.

If a kid gets out of the safety zone, parents are immediately notified.

The service is offered free for eight checks per day, according to SK Telecom.

Other than these services, the operator has a "route-tracking service," which informs parents of their child`s latest moves, and "location-informer" service, which sends one`s location via handset to an agreed partner.

By aligning with personal security firm CAPS, SK Telecom and KTF offer the so-called mobile police services, which enable a customer to call security guards by pressing a hot-key. KTF charges a monthly fixed fee of 3,500 won for the service.

Dialed In: GPS Cell Phones

Similar to in-car Global Positioning System navigation devices, GPS-enabled phones let you view and listen to turn-by-turn directions via your handset.
One of example of how Cell phone has feature of GPS

Here you go,
haha, It is very hot in Korea and I use this all the time.. hehe
Was this helpful?

The smallest cell phone

The world smallest cellphone, and it has all the features that needed.
Amazing ah?
I wonder if they can use it easily..(I don't think it considered "Human Factor" issues)
I would be afraid to lose this cell phone if I had one.
Let's see how it can get smaller...

Platform Assigment : Global Positioning System #4,7,8

4) Who is the intended market / target audience?

The intended market and target audiences are for everybody. At beginning, it was intended for the army to find location. However, in these days most of people who are in air force, land, sea to navigate the location, and people who surveying mapping, and natural resource managers are using GPS to do research.
Method: These days GPS is finding its way into construction equipment, movie making gear, farm machinery, and even laptop computers.
Intended market or target audiences are most of people who is looking for or researching the area or locating position.
1. Location- determining a basic position.
2. Navigation - getting from one location to another.
3. Tracking - monitoring the movement of people and things.
4. Mapping- creating maps.
5. Timing - providing precise timing





7) What sort of media are played or used on this platform?

This media are played on the screen of computer for the Google Maps in to SG or JPEG maps, and most of interactive map can be viewed in most any Web browser. It can be also viewed as KML file and can be created to USGS aerial, USGS topo, NRCan.





8) What is the future of your chosen platform? How might it change over time?

Probably within 10 years, GPS will be developed even further so that people can easily access, and will get quicker signal fixes, and GPS system would be embedded in the watch and would not have problem receiving from GPS signal.
Russian Aerospace Agency has approved that they will have long term plan for the period 2002-2011 which they would constellate 24 satellites, and have 18 operational satellites by end of 2007 and 24 operational satellite by end of 2010.( GLONASS :The Global Navigation Satellite System)
The market using GPS will be doubled as the development of GALIEO. This system will improve the positioning and navigation applications by making faster, easier, and productive. Therefore, it will bring numerous benefits for applications requiring fast and accurate positioning.
However, there are still private issues to consider. Hopefully in the future, private information should be protected.

GPS technology has matured into a resource that goes far beyond its original design goals.
