Current and Future Trends of Media and Information Group 2 01 WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY WHAT IS WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY? Wearable Technology means that they can be worn like an accessory as they are small and lightweight, but durable enough to be put in the pocket of your pants or bags. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY There are also electronic gadgets like a pedometer, which one can put on his arm or waist through a strap, so he can monitor the number of his steps, calories burned, and heart rate while doing a physical exercise. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Hearing aid can also be considered a wearable technology as it enables a deaf person to hear and even adjust its volume. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Wearable technology can also come as a microchip embedded in one's body. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY MOST RECENT EXAMPLES OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Google Glass Apple Watch WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Through its optical headed-mounted display (OHMD), it enables users to navigate the Internet hands-free and make commands through voice prompt. The Google Glass has a touchpad on the side which allows users to control and navigate it by swiping. The lenses on the eyeglass serve as the screen. Google Glass WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Apart from being able to connect through the Internet, it also has a camera which can take photos and videos. Google X, the creators of Google Glass, were the same team that is also currently testing the possibility of having self-driving cars by using the same technology used in making Google Glass. Google Glass was publicly announced in 2012 and was Google Glass made available for purchase in 2013 at 1500 US dollars. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY MOST RECENT EXAMPLES OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Google Glass Apple Watch WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY It has similar features with other Apple products such as the iPhone and iPad. It can connect through the Internet, which allows users to receive and respond to numifications right away. It can also be used to take photos, play music, and store data. Apart freen these. Apple watch can Apple Watch make and receive calls as it allows users to sync their device with their iPhone or iPad. As a watch, it gives accurate time and can be set in digital or analog mode. It can also be used as a timer and an alarm. In addition, it can be a health and fitness monitor as it provides visual images of the user's daily activities, which motivates Apple Watch them to sit less and be more active.

Their functions also vary, making them more useful in the field of media and information. EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone Some of these phones are the 02 BlackBerry 03 iPhone 04 iPad and Tablet 05 Personal Digital Assistant EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone An Android phone is a smartphone having very similar features with that of Apple's iPhone, but runs on Android operating system from Google instead. Since it is from a different creator, its user interface and screen design are a bit different from iPhone. Also, some applications which are available in App Store are either offered free or not available in Google Play. EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone Some of these phones are the 02 BlackBerry 03 iPhone 04 iPad and Tablet 05 Personal Digital Assistant EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 02 BlackBerry BlackBerry is a smartphone that has a unique keypad similar to that of a typewriter's. It is called as such due to its similarity with the color of the blackberry fruit. This gadget became a hit as it enables users to do real-time push e-mail communications because the BlackBerry has a built-in Bluetooth and a wireless device. EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone Some of these phones are the 02 BlackBerry 03 iPhone 04 iPad and Tablet 05 Personal Digital Assistant EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 03 iPhone iPhone from Apple In the early 2000s, the first generation of smartphones was introduced. A smartphone has an advanced mobile operating system and has many other features which an analog cell phone does not have. A smartphone also has the ability to combine features of other gadgets and function as a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a media player whose connection is more stable because of its Global Positioning System (GPS). EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION NTT DoCoMo of Japan was the first company that released the earliest version of smartphone on a mass scale in 1999. EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone Some of these phones are the 02 BlackBerry 03 iPhone 04 iPad and Tablet 05 Personal Digital Assistant EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 04 iPad and Tablet iPad and tablet have some similar features with an iPhone and an Android phone. They can function as a phone that can make and receive calls, but the iPads and tablets are usually bigger than smartphones. In addition, iPad is from the Apple while tablet is from Google. A phablet, on the other hand, is similar to an iPhone or an Android phone as it combines the features of a smartphone and a tablet. EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 01 Android Phone Some of these phones are the 02 BlackBerry 03 iPhone 04 iPad and Tablet 05 Personal Digital Assistant EMERGING TRENDS ON MEDIA AND INFORMATION 05 Personal Digital Assistant As cell phones back then can only be used for call and text, PDA became a handy device in the late 1990s. It allows users to electronically organize data, such as contact list, appointments, and reminders. Apart from being handheld, newer versions of the PDAs have built-in calculator, calendar, dictionary, and translator. They can now be connected and synced to a personal computer to enable data transfer and some MS Office functions such as typing documents.

TECHNOLOGY Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) CGI can create special effects that look like an actual footage. It can enhance an image to make it look realistic through the use of width, height, and depth. Although a CGI film can be expensive due to the cost of production, it can also save considerable money since real actors are replaced with animated characters. This can be done by a highly-skilled team who are experts on computer animation and graphics. TECHNOLOGY Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) CGI can also be used for restoring old or classic films, so today's generation can have an opportunity to see them. Additionally, CGI films can be effective learning tools as they can stimulate one's attention and interest TECHNOLOGY Hologram A hologram is an ideal educational tool since it allows the viewer to see the image in different perspectives. It can also be used as a perfect model in studying human anatomy or astronomy since it can create a simulation of an actual environment. 3D ENVIRONMENT 3D ENVIRONMENT 3-D environment is a virtual location created by game or graphic designers to make players feel like they are the actual characters in the game they are playing. Players are represented as animated figures in a three- dimensional visual environment that can either be fanciful or realistic. A 3-D environment also gives users a new visual experience and sensation, which makes them enjoy the game even more.` 3D ENVIRONMENT 1. 3-D Film. A 3-D movie could provide a different experience for the viewers as it will enhance their illusion of depth perception. For example, if a person is watching a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) movie, he might feel that he is actually on space because of the illusion that the image is actually in front of him even though in reality, he is just looking at a flat screen 3D ENVIRONMENT 1. 3-D Film.

Kodama's invention gave birth to 3-D printing as it allowed the UV exposure area to produce a masked pattern through a scanning fiber transmitter 3D ENVIRONMENT In 1984, Chuck Hull of 3-D Systems Corporation pioneered a prototype system using the process known as stereo lithography. In this process, layers are added by curing photopolymers with ultraviolet light lasers. 3D ENVIRONMENT 3-D printing is also referred to as additive manufacturing (AM) because it has the same process which involves joining successive layers of material. These layers are sequentially deposited onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads to form a three- dimensional object with the aid of digital technology. Through the computer, the object's shape can be controlled and turned into almost any shape. 3D ENVIRONMENT DOT MATRIX PRINTER The dot matrix printer can be considered as a pioneer when it comes to creating a hardcopy version of a document. The dot matrix printer is called as such because it uses a print head, which moves back-and-forth or up-and-down so that it can print tiny dots on the page as it strikes the ink-soaked ribbon to the paper. 3D ENVIRONMENT LASER PRINTER A laser printer is way faster and prints in silence. It uses the photocopier technology of transferring image through a paper by scanning it. Once the user clicks the print button, the laser printer "reads" the document and transfers the text of the document through a laser beam and prints it using electrical charges. 3D ENVIRONMENT INKJET PRINTER In the past, printing a one-page document takes a lot of time and effort since letter blocks soaked in ink have to be arranged manually and pressed on heavy metal plates. The emergence of enhanced printers greatly helped the print media since they will be able to create better- looking books, magazines, and newspapers, and produce more copies in a much faster way. OTHER DEVICES AND EQUIPMENTS OTHER DEVICES AND EQUIPMENTS CAMERA PROJECTOR PHOTOCOPIER CAMERA A camera is a device used to capture images using a lens and a shutter, which allows light to pass through so they can be translated into electrical impulses. OTHER DEVICES AND EQUIPMENTS CAMERA PROJECTOR PHOTOCOPIER PROJECTOR OVERHEAD PROJECTOR (OHP) LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) PROJECTOR An LCD projector is similar with an OHP An overhead projector is an office as it can project and display images and equipment that can enlarge the text on a screen or a flat surface. image on the transparency and However, instead of using a transparency, an LCD projector is display it on a screen by means of connected to a computer and directly an overhead mirror and bright light display the exact things that can be seen on the computer's monitor. OTHER DEVICES AND EQUIPMENTS CAMERA PROJECTOR PHOTOCOPIER PHOTOCOPIER Is an equipment used to reproduce documents with text or images on paper. It is also known as copier or copy machine, and is commonly found in schools and offices. Just like a printer, a photocopier may use liquid, powder, or laser. Most people interchangeably call the photocopier Xerox, which is actually the name of the company who makes this machine. PHOTOCOPIER People should use the photocopier responsibly by using it to duplicate important documents and not for circulating dishonest information. Also reproduction of printed materials, such as textbooks or laboratory manuals, for commercial use is a violation of the copyright law. ANY QUESTIONS? Thnx,,,po – Group 2
