Mobile Monday Sydney – 05 November 2012

First there was Siri, now meet Nina….
Nina knows you. She knows your voice. She also understands what you want based on your natural phrasing of your request. Nina streamlines logging in, finding features in the app, asking questions and performing transactions using the power of talk, type and tap—making mobile interactions easier, more productive and enjoyable.

From the group behind the Siri technology, Nuance’s APAC Director for Mobile Care, Adam Spence, will provide us an overview and demo of Nina, where Nina is at globally and which verticals are introducing Nina to their customers.

From “Me” to “We” – how mobile is changing photography globally

Mobile photography is the fastest growing form of photography in the world. Recently, Instagram was measured to have more daily active users than Twitter.

Mobile Photo Group’s Oliver Lang, a specialist in mobile photography techniques and applications, will be discussing how real time visual information is being used around the world, and what role mobile apps are playing in the future of mobile visual communication. Oliver has been invited to teach at the Australian Centre for Photography, Art Gallery of NSW and Museum of Contemporary Art. He writes for http://connect.dpreview.com/ and has led photo walks for Earth Hour International and also the City of Sydney.

Come along and see the new invention by Mark Pesce – meet Light by Moore’s Cloud - a light that is as smart as your phone. Find out how mobile developers are a critical part of the application ecosystem for the internet of things.

Mark Pesce is an inventor, writer, entrepreneur, educator and broadcaster.

A few months back Mark invented something deceptively simple: a lamp with a LAMP stack. Light by Moore’s Cloud creates delightful, smart illumination with 52 independently-controlled LEDs, each capable of two million colours, all powered by a small-but-capable LINUX computer, connected to the Internet via WiFi.

This means that the internet of things is here for the average consumer and they can have connected intelligent lights at home with Light by Moore’s Cloud.

It also means that web and mobile developers can use the open interface to create beautiful and useful applications for consumers to use with their Light by Moore’s Cloud

The Moore’s Cloud team are running a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to enable manufacturing and production of the light – more information at moorescloud.com/kickstarter.

“Open source, collaborative software was just the test. Here comes collaborative, interactive, open hardware: a real-time global dance of color. The non-local has never been more present.” Douglas Rushkoff, Code Evangelist, Codecademy.com
