  1. Ori Inbar on Singularity 1 on 1: Augmented Reality Will Change Every Aspect of Life and Work

    Ori Inbar developed a passion for augmented reality (AR) ever since he realized that it will change every aspect of life and work we can think of. This realization has motivated him to become an industry start-up entrepreneur, a founder of a not-for-profit organization, an event organizer and a recognized speaker on topics related to augmented reality. Thus I was very happy to get him for an interview on Singularity 1 on 1.

    During my conversation with Ori Inbar we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: the story behind his passion and motivation for augmented reality; the past and the present definition of augmented reality; differences between augmented reality, virtual reality and real reality; major applications for AR; the dangers and costs of militarization; Ori’s favorite augmented reality devices; issues of privacy, advertising and big brother; “wearing” vs “not-wearing” and Vernor Vinge‘s Rainbows End; the three laws of augmented reality design; Ogmento and AugmentedReality.org; transhumanism and the technological singularity…

    My favorite quote that I will take away from this conversation with Ori Inbar is: “When you think of any aspect of life or work, augmented reality is completely going to change how we do it.”

  3. Rausim! Digital Politics in Papua New Guinea - CAP - ANU

    In this podcast PhD researcher Sarah Logan examines how information technology and social media are changing the face of politics in Papua New Guinea.

    Mobile phone use and internet access have increased exponentially in PNG over the past five years, a trend which is set to continue. This increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) is unprecedented in a country with historically low rates of landline use and a relatively sparsely populated media environment.

    However, despite this striking change in the media landscape and increasing evidence of its impact on politics in PNG, there is very little research on the political impact of ICT use in PNG. This seminar places what little we know about this issue in the context of research elsewhere on the impact of ICT on politics. Drawing on literature on the use of the Internet and mobile phones to organise political protests, to enhance transparency initiatives and to increase political engagement, this seminar outlines relevant findings in research conducted elsewhere. The seminar goes on to argue that key features of PNG’s political, social and cultural environment mean that although useful the application of such research to PNG is relatively limited.

    Sarah Logan is a PhD candidate in the Department of International Relations at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and was previously a visiting scholar at Columbia University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. She was a researcher at the Office of National Assessments (ONA) from 2006 - 2012. Sarah’s research interests revolve around the impact of the internet on international politics, especially the evolution of political community in international relations and the impact of ICT on political institutions in fragile states. In 2012 She published a discussion paper with SSGM on digital politics in PNG. She blogs at www.ircircuit.com and tweets as @circt.

  6. The Digital Human: Transgression

    What is it about the digital world that encourages normal people to disregard the rules of everyday life? Is it the cloak of anonymity the net offers? The social rules of online communities? Or simply human nature? This week, Aleks Krotostki delves into the dark side of the digital world to explore whether or not the internet fuels the breakdown of social and moral boundaries. She speaks to a troll who claims Jesus and Socrates as her forebears, Dave Eshleman who was one of the guards in the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment and Professor Alex Haslam who recreated the experiment for the BBC, with startlingly different results.

  7. The Proto-hackers - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Hacking didn’t start with the computer age. Back in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s geeks got their kicks from tapping into the phone lines. They called it Phone Phreaking.
