New Technology and the future

I know that most of you enjoy video games in some capacity, or at least know friends who do play
games often.  In our recent unit, we have had a chance to look into what computer programming is like an how complex it can become.
Recently, some new technology has emerged, with Xbox Kinect and now something called Leap Motion.  Mr. Henn will show you a video that displays some of the capabilities.

Your Assignment:
In the Comments section, write your name, Class period and then write 5 sentences on how you can see this new technology being used in the future.  Only 1 can be related to gaming!!
You can email this if you wish, if you don't want your ideas published on WWW.

  1. It could be used for easy, controlled work like designers for example. Video games could be used with better motion and more fun and cool seeming. You could use it while say your in medical school and that's how you could practice gaining a steady hand if you would like to be a surgeon. Video game creators would have easier work and actually make the characters move the exact way that they want it. Teachers might have more attention from their students by using this while teaching.

    2.Also ill let my little sister try it out if she likes it or not.
    3.If they like it then i might buy it or not if i can get money.
    4.If i could get it then i would draw,learn more notes for the guitar.
    5. My brother will use it to practice playing the keyboard.

  11. This may be able to help a lot with photography and photo editing. I also think it would help a lot with the film industry. It'd make a lot of the special effects and movements look a lot more realistic. It could also help find new solutions to medical problems. This product could also help with investigations.

    I can see LEAP technology being used by doctors in the future for X-rays and MRI scans ect.
    Also it could be used by artist and sculptors to scetch drawings or design pottery.
    Another way it could be used is by gamers so that they don't have to hold remotes.

  30. Hi, my name is Jacob Mebius 8OWF. Technology can be used in Education. Technology can also be used for doctors and scientists to be able discover more in a shorter amount of time or for doctors to be able to do different types of surgeries. Technology can also be used more for astronauts to be able to do more in space and stay up there longer or go farter.

Lastly it could be used in the scientific feild by using photos and diagrams to show the kids visual aids.

    I believe it will be used for musicians who cant get the actual instument. and it will be used for 3D gaming. Doctors could also use it to pull up the patients records. Also in classrooms. It could also be used for scientific dicoveries.

  34. I think that this new piece of technology is going to and will be used by thousands of people. Some schools will have it, giving kids of many ages the ability to do things more "freely." This Leap Motion technology is one of the many Ive seen that fascinated me and also made me think "Imagine Leap Motion can do in the hands of someone good, this new technology will be used all over the world! Technology is a major part in the world, many things need it, Military, Air Force, even something simple as a restaurant or a store.

    I think the instrument apps are great for kids to get creative with music. The Leap Motion will be great for another creative way for kids to play kids video games. Also the color app is a great way for kids to be creative with their artistic side. Also I think its going to help with more hands on learning. Overall I think it is just going to cause more learning experiences.

    I think that the instruments on the computers wil help kids get more comfortable with music. I alson think the leap motion will be good for kids to learn how to play video games and such. The color app will probaly help kids learn there colors how to spell and read. And its really creative to think of these things very creative they can teach kids so much.
    They will probley know alot before they get to school.

  38. This new gadget can be used to create new cool video games and it can be used for medical research. On a different subject, art and visual aids is another. Next, it can be used for education and "inside recess". For newer ideas like someone can get inspired. And lastly, it can be used for finding places like using a map.

  39. I think that it could be usefull for doctors, teachers, musicians, etc. With high technology lie that a lot more things will be easier. We don't have that high tech stuff yet tho , so therefor we have to work with what we have. Maybe in the future we can have all that in hospitals, dentist, etc.

    I think the leap motion is cool to look at stuff and look at the world map and you can zoom in and out. And you can also play games and you can play the game without touching it. I think the leap motion is cool and it gives you learning experience. Also you dont have to reach for the mouse or key board.

  53. I see it being used as a game. also being used in meetings and stuff like that so that the people dont have to sit behind a computer while presenting something. it will be a more fun way of presenting and it would help keep peoples attention. also in class rooms to get kids to go to the board insted of sleeping at their desk. i think it could be very helpful and used in many ways.

    If we have some new technology it'll help make some assignments easier to do. The AirHarp could help music Teachers teach some kids to play it, it'll be more fun and you won't hurt your fingers. AirBeats, if kids really want to have a drum-set but don't have enough room, they can get that and it'll save room and help a kid experience a drum set. The LeapMotion could help kids (that always loose controllers) Play video games free handed! Thats how I think This new technology could help with!

    i think this would work well in music classes, or as a cheaper option for school who cant afford the real instrument. same could go for aspiring musicians. another thing it could be used for is art, too teach 3d design, or an alternative to the regular art materials. these could be used for class presentations. kinect xbox has been out for two years, and is nothing new to gaming, we've seen what it can do, but i don't think it has reached its potential. i have a xbox kinect myself, and as a gamer, i am not pleased with the games, and i know that game creators already use this technology, but its still a young technology, so yeah. lastly, doctors could use it to visualize body parts that they dont have access to, or to use as practice.

    i think that it could be used in schools for learning. And to show the new technology and the different things that we could make in our future. it could make school more interesting. it could also be carried by student to art and music instead of having all of the equipment taking up room that could be used for other things. it would help if you couldnt afford an instrument.

  70. This resource can be used by the gaming company so they can have the chance to create funand maybe some 3-D games. Next, this resource could also be used by some techers like art, technology,or a few others and it may help students understand somethings better. Also, it can be used by some music companys. It could also be used by some art companies as well because it could help not just kids,but adults as well as the kids. Lastly, it could be used in the car industry to run the whole car.
