Trinity Research and Innovation ICT OpenDemo

I have been busy organising, with Tara Tracey (Industrial Liaison Manager at TCD), a Open Demonstration of ICT technologies available for Commercialisation.
We will be showcasing the latest exciting technologies developed by TCD researchers in Information Technology. The format will be open demos, so no more Death by powerpoint but rather hands on demos located in the rather cool and funky Science Gallery with refreshments served to fuel the interaction. I took the picture above with my iphone.


Examples of the types of technologies to be shown include:

* web 2.0 animation tool
* automatic image annotation through cross modal learning
* software defined radio toolkit for next generation cognitive radio networks
* hand wash monitoring device for hospitals and food industry
* p2p video streaming on t'interweb
* video based adaptive e-learning
* token based payments system for VOIP on WiFi
* building a wholesale hosting exchange
* spam prevention through email microcharging
* game authoring tool for mental health therapies
* sentiment index for financial markets
* p2p web search
* immersive experiential selling tool

and lots more.....

Searchme

Checkout www.searchme.com. Nice interactive visual search. wher you can scroll through thumbnails (well let's call then "hands" as bigger than "thumbnails") of the sites like the pages of a book.

On subject of search we all saw in ireland much hype about the "Irish" challenger to google cuil.com. Not so cuil I am afraid as the search results are dismally poor when compared to Google. Try seraching fro soemthing obscurish or google-whackish and compare. I tried searching for "xeritel" par example.

Another thing: why is black the new white when it comes to search backgrounds?

Stephen Barrett's teanm here in Trinity College have devloped some very interesting next generation P2P search technology. Watch this space
