Submission + - VIDEO: How to index and search a video by emotion (youtube.com)

robotsrule writes: Here's a a demonstration video of EmoRate, a software program that uses the Emotiv 14-electrode EEG headset to record your emotions via your facial expressions. In the video you'll see EmoRate record my emotions while I watch a YouTube video, then index that video by emotion, and then navigate that video by simply by remembering a feeling. The web page for EmoRate explains how I used Emotiv's SDK to build the software program, and how I trained the system by watching emotionally evocative videos on YouTube while wearing the headset.

Submission + - Mind Controlled Robot with the Emotiv EEG headset (youtube.com)

robotsrule writes: The linked video shows a WowWee Rovio mobile spy robot being piloted remotely over a Skype video call using thought, facial gestures, and head movements, with the help of the Emotiv Systems EPOC 14-electrode EEG headset with built-in gyroscope. An accompanying article explains in detail how the system works and what steps were taken with the Emotiv systems SDK to interface with the EPOC headset along with code samples. The system is based on Robodance 5, a free robot control program for consumer robot owners that will be out in beta next month on May 20, 2010.

Submission + - Vidoe of Nvidia's RealityServer 3.0 (youtube.com)

robotsrule writes: RealityServer 3.0 is Nvidia's attempt to bring photo-realistic 3D images to nearly any internet enabled device. RealityServer 3.0 pushes the CPU killing 3D rendering process to a high-power, GPU based, back-end server based on Nvidia's Tesla or Quadro architecture. The resulting images are then streamed back to the client device in seconds as you will see in this two minute video demonstration. Client devices include everything from PCs to smart phones like an Android phone or Apple iPhone. These images would normally take even a high-end unassisted Workstation hours to compute. RealityServer will enable low-end computing devices to run applications such as real time car configuration, augmented reality, scientific visualization, and even consumer targeted apps like retail store clothing selection with the ability to see a virtual model of the clothes moving in real time on a virtual model. The technology is further explained in this article which contains an interview with Nvidia about RealityServer complete with a slideshow of several photorealistic generated images.

Submission + - The Inside Story Behind The Rise, Fall, and Resurr (robotsrule.com)

robotsrule writes: This article contains notes from a 1-hour phone call with Ugobe founder Derek Dotson and now CEO of Innvo Labs Corporation, the company that owns Innvo and acquired the rights to Pleo at the recent bankruptcy auction. In it he reveals the hidden story behind Pleo's rise, fall, and resurrection including intriguing facts about the money trail and what he feels caused Ugobe to fail, including how he had to save Pleo's future on more than one occasion. He also lays out in plain detail Innvo Labs's strategy to help owners of older Pleos and those whose units were swallowed up by Ugobe's bankruptcy.

Submission + - Pleo Robot Dinosaur Back From Extinction (robotsrule.com)

robotsrule writes: "Jetta Company Limited, the company that manufactured the Pleo baby robot dinosaur for Ugobe, has bought the intellectual property rights and other assets at the Ugobe bankruptcy sale that occurred on May 21. Steve Ohler, the United States liaison for the company, confirmed the news saying that the company is firmly committed to re-launching Pleo and continuing the line including producing accessories such as the vital battery and charger components. Jetta is the original manufacturer and therefore the best possible company to have acquired Ugobe's intellectual property and re-launch Pleo. Steve remarked that all the equipment needed to produce Pleos and accessories were all still intact and ready to go. Jetta is an established company with a 32 year history in manufacturing based in China and Hong Kong, and as part of their illustrious manufacturing history they have produced parts for members of iRobot's consumer robot line. They also issued a short press release announcing the relaunch of the Pleo line."

Submission + - Web 3.0 - Will The Web Survive As We Know it?

robotsrule writes: "The battle lines between skeptic and evangelist are already drawn. Either way, Web 3.0 will either be the new face of the web that launched a thousand empty business plans, or the tipping point into a vastly more exciting phase of the Web. This Web 3.0 article asserts that the marraige of artificial intelligence to the infrastructure of Web 3.0 will dramatically accelerate our capacity for distributed problem solving. However, it also issues dire warnings on the potential hyper-euphoria that will accompany it."
