上網,找朋友一起忘掉網路吧!



研究報告(連結為PDF下載)指出,68%的美國人有離線焦慮症(disconnection anxiety)。不分年齡層,只要沒上網、沒收到email,就頭腦昏昏、焦慮、緊張、無法滿足,甚至出現恐慌、歇斯底里的狀態。

年輕人焦慮的理由大都是社交壓力,擔心與同儕有隔閡。年紀稍長者的壓力則來自於工作安危。

報告還指出,有63%的黑苺機使用者會在浴室裡送email,當然年輕人則喜歡在臥室裡,邊睡覺邊上網。

離不開網路嗎?之前有人推一天不上網(Shutdown Day)活動。現在更推動,一年52天不上網(一週安排一天絕不上網)。不上網的這天,要好好看書、親子互動、用筆寫信、畫畫、跳舞、戶外活動...。

關掉大大小小的電子螢幕(電腦和手機),絕對是個大挑戰!4月22日地球日,少用電一點,少上網一些,也許說服自己挑一天不上網。您覺得呢?

Diminished Reality: Impressive Video Manipulation In Real-Time (Video)





Scary or cool? This technology developed by a team of researchers at Technische Universität Ilmenau in Germany is probably both. Their so-called “Diminished Reality” system makes it possible to manipulate video in real-time. As opposed to Augmented Reality, which adds virtual objects to real world images, Diminished Reality removes selected objects from video recordings.

The way it works is that first, the object to be eliminated from the footage has to be specified and detected. After that, the system analyzes the immediate surroundings of the object, for example the look of a table it was standing on, and fills out the empty space with that information.

According to the researchers behind this Diminished Reality application, this process just takes a few milliseconds and works both for video streams and static pictures.

This pretty impressive video provides more insight:
