ShotTracker brings real time stats to NAIA basketball tournament
This article describes a new application that centers around a wearable device that players wear that would allow for their statistics to be tracked in real time. The application would revamp old school techniques of stat tracking.
High-tech, low-cost water sensors could generate automatic flood water alerts.
One of the major “pros” of real-time data are the affordances it has surrounding the convenience of our days. This is a little different approach, but in my opinion far more important as it allows for tracking water levels that could eventually change some of the effects of global warming.
Long-distance relationships - including friendships - are tricky. So why not bridge the gap by watching some quality cat...
This is an application that centers around the fact that long-distance relationships are hard. It allows for individuals to watch Youtube videos at the same time and to comment on them together in real-time. This once again decreases the lag time between viewing things when you aren’t in the same physical space as someone else.
Uber India will introduce its facial recognition-based Real Time ID check feature for its India app in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata, with more cities to follow soon, accordin…
I found this to be an extremely interesting post as I think it would be a very helpful tool in our modern transportation space. I think many people fear that using ride-share apps such as Uber or Lyft will get them into a tricky or unsafe situation. Real-time facial recognition would decrease the likelihood of an unfortunate interaction.
Want to get a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket this year? It's easier than you think.
Changing an NCAA pick DURING a game could drastically change the ways in which gambling and betting on sporting events happens. This is fascinating because never before has there been technological affordances that have made this possible and it really could change how these types of events work.
A real-time traffic control system developed by Siemens, SCOOT (Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique), has helped reduce Michigan’s weekday travel times along Ann Arbor’s Ellsworth Corridor by 12 percent and weekend travel time by 21 percent. “Traditionally, intersection signal timing is pre-programmed, which does not allow for cities like Ann Arbor to accommodate increases in …
This article was specifically interesting as it focused on Ann Arbor’s changes in traffic with respect to real-time traffic alerts. Real-time analytics are used to reduce traffic time in Ann Arbor and traffic during the weekdays has decreased by around 20%.
Analytics capabilities are enabling companies to expand beyond their traditional market boundaries.
This article was extremely informative as it talked about the ways in which technology companies are changing their product announcements to adapt to the affordances of real-time. The author talks about the ways in which real-time announcements help all of the different facets of product announcement.
Experts from Kaiser Permanente discuss how they are using real-time location services as well as how they think the technology could improve.
This article discusses how real-time has impacted different fields, specifically health care. It discusses how these changes are extremely beneficial, but there is still a far way to go in terms of being fully effective.
CNN's Samuel Burke sits down with Waverly Labs CEO Andrew Ochoa to test their language translating earbuds.
This post looks at the more practical affordances of real time-- actually translating words without a dramatic lag in time that makes the translation less effective. I think this would be an amazing change if it were seamless and really “Real-time”.
In an ever-more connected and mobile world, it is increasingly difficult for parents to be able to keep an eye on their children. Current tools are quite limited, such as requiring software to be installed, which can sometimes be removed by the child themselves or altered in some way or not providing the parent access to specific actions that are needing to be watched. Microsoft, however, has recently patented a new tool called "Real-time Parental Monitoring," that allows an administrator of a device to set boundaries. These boundaries can be used to control who someone can communicate with, contents of a message and the type. Additionally, it could also be used to check if a message is of a sexual nature. With this, it can send automated notifications to a parent if a boundary is breached. While this tool is specifically titled towards parents, it appears that it could be used in a non-parental environment also, such as in the workplace, as it refers to device administrators and
This article discusses a fairly new development surrounding real-time, and unsurprisingly it has to do with monitoring and parenting. The app would allow for parents to set limitations and spectatorship on their children’s online movements- and the app can be used in other settings as well, for example to make sure employees are actually doing their work not googling random things.
As the healthcare industry embraces new technology, nurses and caregivers are seeking innovative ways to enhance medical communications.
This article discusses a new application that can be used for medical professionals, specifically nurses. The app allows for real-time changes and such to be made from a smartphone during the medical exchange.
The speed at which data is generated, processed, and analyzed today is increasing at an unbelievably rapid pace. A broad range of industries are struggling to deal with increasingly large, complex, and rapidly changing data. Retailers, Social media, ad tech, gaming, network service providers and Internet of Things (IOT), and even airline operators are working to deal with increasingly large, high velocity data. Traditional Big Data solutions based on Data Warehousing or Apache Hadoop are not well-suited for most real time data processing. What is needed is a real time (Streaming) Analytics.
This article was extremely informative surrounding the context of real-time marketing. Real-time marketing is one of the major discourses involved in the concept of “real-time”. I liked this article because it explained many of the affordances of the concept in laymen terms that were not too difficult to understand as someone who is not necessarily technologically savvy.
Among other resources, the app will allow you access real-time fire maps and drought information.
This article once again was more interesting to me because it discusses the more practical affordances of real time data. Knowing where a fire is and if it will reach you could potentially be very helpful to people. However, one thing I will say is that hopefully there is service when you actually would need this app.
Air pollution isn't always visible, but it's definitely real. To help us gain a better understanding of air quality around the world, BreezoMeter, an air quality analytics provider, is visually breaking things down with a new interactive air pollution map. SEE ALSO: Wi-Fi passwords from airports
Practicality again! Global warming is a never ending problem and it is extremely important to be informed and know your role in helping to change the things you can. This app would allow for individuals to check in on the status of the quality of air where they live.
Twitter says it will use its algorithm to try and block abuse as it is happening.
During these political times (of our Commander in Chief tweeting from the Oval Office), it is important that people feel safe and unattached on the Internet. Twitter has received a fair amount of backlash about their policies regarding cyber-bullying, and the affordances of real-time will help to decrease potential issues.
The CTO of Domo believes having access to real-time data must be a priority for all organisations.
This article discusses how important real-time data is for businesses. The author discusses that the faster companies make decisions, the better fro business it is. Once companies have access to real-time data they really can’t revert and change their path.
Variations in state and local licensing agreements can raise transaction costs, create barriers and substantially reduce the value of the data, a new report suggests.
I found this article to be particularly interesting because rather than glorifying the affordances of real-time (like almost every other article) it discusses the potential setbacks of relying on the openness and travel time delays that real-time could have.
