“Right now, virtual reality is pretty stationary: you sit there, put on a headset and are transported to an entirely new world. But with Survios, it’s like a Kinect-meets-Oculus Rift. You’re moving around, pulling virtual arrows of your back, whipping around a tommy gun and unholstering pistols from your virtual side pockets all by moving around your hands. Kim-Mai Cutler visits the Survios HQ in San Francisco to check out their latest VR technology.”
“Level up your gameplay with accessories that turn your smartphone into a handheld gaming console, giving you more control over your game.”
“A fleet of orbiting satellites monitors Earth constantly. The satellites from NASA and other space agencies give us a fresh, wide perspective on things that we can see from the ground — and things that we can’t.
A look back at Earth in 2013 from the viewpoint of orbit reveals the kind of data gathering and technical achievement that are the reason NASA puts Earth-observing satellites in space. A visualization of satellite and computer model data shows how a cloud of dust from the Chelyabinsk meteor moved around the world. NASA satellites measured the intensity of wildfires, the salinity of the oceans and rainfall around the globe — whether it was too little or too much.”
“On Tuesday the Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in the Aereo case. Specifically, whether Aereo, by delivering the over-the-air signal of the broadcasters, infringes the broadcaster’s copyright in their television programming. That will hinge on whether the Court believes the service is a “private” or “public” performance. If Aereo’s is ruled a public performance then the service violates the law. So far, both the lower and appellate courts have sided with Aereo. Bloomberg Businessweek’s Sam Grobart explains. (Source: Bloomberg) “
