Calisto – a new terminal for Web 3.0 and the Internet of Services – Frisbee gesture with an Android phone to surf in the semantic web
Jun 2nd 2011
Simon Bergweiler and I decided to continue our research in the field of interaction with the Internet of Services. The result is Calisto, a 40’’ multitouch terminal that can be used either over touch interactions or by speech. What’s pretty cool is that users can send (or let me say throw) picture they shot with their Android phone with a Frisbee gesture directly to the terminal. Once synchronized, the picture is analyzed and corresponding semantic annotations are attached to the media. At this point users can use Spotlet to access the semantic web – like in our other system CoMET (http://www.mat-d.com/site/web-3-0-innovative-semantic-interactions-with-spotlets/ ) – and retrieve interesting linked information over drag’n’drop or via speech input through their own Android mobile phone.

In this article you will discover two pretty nice workarounds to edit MP4 files and to convert them into an MP3 that any MP3 player is available to play.
The idea to write this article came after a friend of mine asked me to find a very quick solution to convert tens (or was it tons 😉 ) of MP4 files in MP3 files.
Don’t forget that your Mac will help you to do a lot of stupid file converting without even having a strong knowledge about codecs and QuickTime headers. More >
