Communicating in the Future
Communication has already changed dramatically in my lifetime. I grew up with rabbit ears and snail mail. Now I have a satellite dish and instant messaging. The future will bring a slew of new products that will change the way we communicate with each other and with machines.
Communication in the future may include:
Phone, computer, tv all in one portable device
Communication implants
Personal memory exchange
Virtual presence
Virtual worlds
Speech recognition on all machines
Knowledge, entertainment, news, internet--on demand, anywhere
High speed travel
Electronic paper/paint
Haptic displays
Vehicles will communicate with you, each other and with road side communicators
Your home and appliances will communicate with you, service people and emergency/medical personnel
Electronic Paper
Today, the portable wireless devices that allow you to download and read a newspaper or book, sometimes called eReaders, are convenient and can also help reduce the amount of paper we use. eReaders of the future will be paper thin, flexible and have wireless connections. When not being used, large displays may roll-up or neatly fold away.
E Ink
Electronic Paper
Rollable display
Students design future flexible display products
Future Technology Predictions
How far will technology advance in 20, 30, even 50 years from now? How will it affect our lives? Here are some technologies and scenarios predicted by science fiction writers, futurists, technology experts and my Uncle Walt, a retired house painter.
Note: This list was compiled from unsubstantiated sources on the internet and one that was written on the back of a cocktail napkin at the Time Warp Bar & Grill in Sparks, Nevada. Please consider it accordingly.
Future Technology Predictions
Extended/eternal life
Synthetic life
Repairing/manipulating DNA
Organ replacement / growing organs
Designer babies / designer bodies
Internet-connection implant
Download your memories/brain
Complete digital record of your life
Manipulate matter at the atomic scale
Custom molecules
Nanoscale computers everywhere
Instant information
Personal/care giving/cleaning robots
Digital money
Virtual presence
Virtual worlds
Wireless everything

Printable/paintable/flexible/see-through electronics, screens, touch panels, solar panels
Printable/self constructing smart homes and buildings.
Computers equivalent to the human brain
Self-driving cars on smart-highways
Gene therapy/manipulation
Flying cars - Anti-gravity devices
One small mobile device does everything
Intelligent/adaptable materials
Mind/emotion control devices
Biostasis
Space elevator
Holograms
Self replicating machines
Desktop nano-factories
Teleportation
Human Cloning
Video/sensor surveillance networks
Weather control
Automatic translators
Space habitats
Eco-friendly fuel
Transhumanism

Final Proposal
Final proposal for lkw projects ( Mobile Media )
this is week 4, we going to present our final proposal and summit it for final approver.
We decide to create a Bluetooth devices named " BlueZone " for lkw future projects.
-------------------------------------------
Multimedia Department - Apache Corporation
Title : “BlueZone”
Aims
-To explore the use of Bluetooth within the University
-To create better interaction and communication between the University and Students
-To develop future learning environment
Objective
-Evaluate the benefit of using Bluetooth within the university
-Evaluate how Bluetooth can improve the relation between the university and students
-Evaluate the benefit of Bluetooth for future learning environment
Synopsis
The Multimedia department from Group A is proposing a new bluetooth device to the LKW Future project. It is to creating a better interaction and communication between the University and students while developing future learning environment for the students.We are also creating a scenario to demonstrate how to use this bluetooth device in digital video mode. So users can know better and manage to use this device while understand the benefit and the application of this device.
Conceptual development
“BlueZone” is specially designed to improve the communication way in the university by just using the bluetooth. It is a device for all the people in the university. This devices function in sensor touch screen smart phone which we believe in 2 years time, touch screen smart phone will be a very comman device for the peoples specially students and the university is fully covered by Bluetooth network.
Why Bluetooth? Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks(PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices. And the biggest benefits of using Bluetooth is can save cost, using Bluetooth is free of charge and it can help to interact between people.
Back to “BlueZone”, students can only acess to this device by their own finger print to enter their data. In this device, it contain the students personal details or profile which connected to the student services, so students can just update themselves from their mobile phone. With bluetooth, student will sign in automatically once enter the school to get their attendance after acess into this device. Student will get the school updates or news on their mobile and any summition of assignment or appointment they make will have the reminder function for them so students wont miss any things from the school. There is also a calender for students so they can fix in their class schedule or any function.
Beside that, this device is a communication platform between students and the lecturer which by using this device, students can download their lecturer note or tutorial according to their course or subjects. At the same time, this device have the “bluetooth video call” which the students can video call to their lecturers or classmate if they are available for free. Student do also can make note using this device.
GPS function is another great function in this device, students can track the location of their classmate or lecturer if they need to meet them at the same times lecturer can ensure the students wont run away from their class and skip the lecture. Besides all, this device also allow entertaiment elements where student can actually share their music or video in the campus.
-------------------------------
Title : Interactive Wall & Screen
It is a digital interactive wall which is sensor touch screen that a digital wall displaying and sending some important information, notice, or news about the university on a big screen. From there, students or lecturers can actually find any information like their time table, tutorial, surfing and download them into their mobile device. The interactive wall also have some entertaiment elements like video screening ( live from the scene in others campus? MTV?) or TV function.
Besides the interactive wall which is proposing the place in common location in campus.we can also reduce the size of the interactive screen and place in the classroom. Lecturer can just treat it like white board, draw and erase anytime, plug into their device to project the lecture note or programe to run for the class.
Well, The size of the interactive wall is flexible so it depends on architectual department to place them if it is working in our project. From my opinion, this interactive wall should place it on the reception or a resting area where most students or visitor going to hang around.

Week 3
This is a Idea development week for us where we going to prepare following things
- Storyboarding
- Mind maps
- Draft proposal
After we discuss among 3 of us, we have our concept for the projects which we are trying to create a new device for the lkw future and here is our concept
-To explore the use of Bluetooth within the University
-To create better interaction and communication between the University and Students
-To develop future learning environment
So, we came out the mind maps and some idea and sketches for coming projects.
Mind Map
Mobile Device and Education are the key words for this mind maps.
Idea and Sketches
some idea after we discuss with each other and we sketch them out on papers for futher development.
besides all this, a draft proposal do send to Max( our lecturer) to have his feedback.
