Augmented reality: a possible link between technological, technical and pedagogical JOINING

This weekend, the end of the year was devoted to out of town and be with mine off, however, those coincidences of life, the campsite where I spent my relax met a foreign tourist, agricultural engineer about 60 years with whom we had an interesting conversation about the technical, technological, and his involvement in teaching and learning processes, and that told me that behind a seed can be opposite to the technological development of multiple combinations and variables (which is why he was concerned for example the use of GMOs) in order, I hope to someday be able to translate a text that everything valuable in my opinion I stay at this meeting.
The point is that trying to link this issue to my task closer and it will not ignore it complex and uncertain of an interconnected world, I remembered that some time the topic of Augmented Reality came around in my head like a technological fact which had not generated a greater connection and involvement, which is why today inspired me meeting with this guy I decided to write this regard.
As noted in Wikipedia Augmented reality (AR) is the term used to define a vision of a direct or indirect physical environment of the real world, the elements are combined with virtual elements to create a real-time mixed reality . It consists of a set of devices that add virtual information to information existing physical. This is the main difference with virtual reality, since it does not replace the physical reality, but superimposes computer data to the real world.
With the help of technology (eg, adding computer vision and object recognition) information about the real world around the user becomes interactive and digital. Artificial information on the environment and objects can be stored and retrieved as an information layer on top of the real world view.
not need to be very creative in imagining or potential applications of this technology and teaching purposes andragogical, because although existing AR applications in educational projects at museums, exhibitions, theme parks to name a few, in the future this technology can be linked with the use of simulators and / or simulated environments (more from a logic of Serious games) in which 3D environments through interaction processes linked to kinesthetic (as Kinect Xbox 360) could introduce students to situations in which they are to solve problems through analysis of the information presented, which m cone point mind previously could only be developed from the school, it could generate real simulations of decisions teamwork, leadership, management of situations under pressure, etc. Anyway, I think that the technology already exists, but like our scholastic learning models, is still compartmentalized, now only remains to unite in a cross and give coherence.
leave an interesting video here about three students in Telecommunication After winning a prize SPIN OFF Malaga University SOLUTIONS ARPA created the company that allows you to add virtual elements to the real world

NEVER LET ME GO (never let me go)


There is a time when nothing seems to really get moving internal fibers within. And it seems that feelings come from deep with desire to get afloat but it is impossible to externalize. That happens when the drama takes over our lives for a long period.


could say I was somewhat misled by the trailer for this film. Thought I'd see any romantic drama of a young couple. That, and just for that, I went in his search.
But Oh surprise, when I realized the true background of this psychological thriller or drama, or science fiction, I really do not fit a specific genre, rather go around surfing between various genres.

Kazuo Ishiguro, the Japanese novelist himself "The Remains of the day ", is one of the leaders of feeling terribly hurt the heart after viewing this film. The same story may have something loose and unlikely moments, may have been a problem in adaptation, but ultimately the talks end up fully express frustration and total disability of the main characters to change the destination has been imposed so Machiavellian.

novelist and accompanying his action are slow and simple, but with great inner strength and elegance, which film diva of the decade of 40, Carey Mulligan, who's in my list of great actors after appreciated if any "An Education", surely will become part of the coveted list of nominees for the Oscar competition would be safe with Natalie Portman. Likewise, Mark Romanek, the director, who after having disappointed with "One Hour Photo", I returned the desire to believe in him. And of course, a great novelist was what I needed to complement large-scale director.


And perhaps there are those who after having seen "The Island" which also tells us, human clones created solely for serve as organ donors, they feel handicapped to appreciate something. Perhaps the slowness of visual storytelling of "Never Let Me Go" is not oriented to the common viewer.

A sublime art direction, in which a woman looking at a tree can be regarded as the best of his pieces, in spite of the simplicity that seems, a good fit if acting does not reach perfection, comes with the necessary balance to the account of the story without falter, or offer unnecessary pauses. An internal suspense well formed even though the external action is almost zero, are the ingredients that make this film a great viewing.

I have the firm conviction that if our lives were narrated by Ishiguro next to the address of Romanek, including mechanical functions such as brushing our teeth or combing their hair would be enhanced the most sublime artistic category that could be seen. Maybe that is what we need eventually to worship even to this simple moments. Because the more you are aware that the beauty of simplicity, removing the concept of death as certain, but late. Scene

not to miss: The delivery of Tommy's drawings to the school principal.

My recommendation: If you like the simplicity in art, it is your choice.
