The AutoAuditorium System for televising lectures
I would like to make you aware of the AutoAuditorium System, a technology that could have a very positive impact on the availability of Distance Education. In a nut shell ... Create Auditorium and Classroom Videos Without a Crew! The AutoAuditorium System turns an ordinary auditorium, lecture hall or classroom into one that automatically makes broadcasts and recordings of lectures and talks. Permanently installed in the room, it uses cameras and microphones to be "aware" of what is happening on stage. It televises the most common auditorium talk: people speaking on stage, showing slides to a local audience. Because the system is completely automatic, the people on stage and in the local audience are not distracted. To remote audiences, an AutoAuditorium program is usually indistinguishable from one produced by a crew. Easy and economical to use, it is used often. Thus many more people can avoid traveling, or missing talks because of a schedule conflicts. Classes taught in one location can be telecast to other locations and/or recorded for later use. IBM TJ Watson Research has three systems in use. They published a paper in January 2001 saying that they were creating video for their e-Seminar service at the rate of 5 - 10 hours per week. Since then, their use has increased. They created 150 AutoAuditorium videos in 2002, which grew to 233 in 2003. Boeing also has a system, used to send presentations from Seattle around the country.

The RCFoC also challenges us to connect these happenings in ways that may be "beyond the nine dots," and so encourages us to consider all of our current, and future, products, services, and business strategies, in light of -- the rapidly changing face of computing.

Greenstar
Greenstar is investing in self-contained, solar-powered community centers in remote communities around the world. Each center has Internet connections, health facilities, including telemedicine, a classroom complete with distance learning equipment, and a business center, through which we will operate ecommerce in native cultural products. The solar array powers the unit, preserves medicines and also purifies water. Ecommerce is the revenue stream that pays for the facilities and brings wealth into the community. The main line of product will be "digital culture," such as music and art, that can be duplicated and transported effortlessly, making the transaction completely green and highly efficient. The community will eventually own all these social services and an income source that preserves culture by giving it market value.

The AutoAuditorium System for televising lectures
I would like to make you aware of the AutoAuditorium System, a technology that could have a very positive impact on the availability of Distance Education. In a nut shell ... Create Auditorium and Classroom Videos Without a Crew! The AutoAuditorium System turns an ordinary auditorium, lecture hall or classroom into one that automatically makes broadcasts and recordings of lectures and talks. Permanently installed in the room, it uses cameras and microphones to be "aware" of what is happening on stage. It televises the most common auditorium talk: people speaking on stage, showing slides to a local audience. Because the system is completely automatic, the people on stage and in the local audience are not distracted. To remote audiences, an AutoAuditorium program is usually indistinguishable from one produced by a crew. Easy and economical to use, it is used often. Thus many more people can avoid traveling, or missing talks because of a schedule conflicts. Classes taught in one location can be telecast to other locations and/or recorded for later use. IBM TJ Watson Research has three systems in use. They published a paper in January 2001 saying that they were creating video for their e-Seminar service at the rate of 5 - 10 hours per week. Since then, their use has increased. They created 150 AutoAuditorium videos in 2002, which grew to 233 in 2003. Boeing also has a system, used to send presentations from Seattle around the country.
