Quotation, Paraphrase & Summary Exercise

hololens-revolution
The source article, “The Hololens Revolution” from Mechanical
Engineering magazine,
will assist me in creating an investment proposal for Initech
because it addresses the future
possibilities as well as current complications preventing
Hololens from reaching such goals. The
author, Ahmed K. Noor, predicts a future where Hololens is less
cumbersome to wear and more
efficient in reading a wearers environment and adjusting to it.
He believes that holographic
headsets will evolve better hands-on manipulation and will
allow virtual teleportation. Initech
will want to know that there is a viable future in the
development of hologram technology. This
investment opportunity with Hololens will continue to grow and
2. evolve. Noor, who is a
professor of Visualization Engineering, also speculates that,
“The now-ubiquitous handheld
screens will be replaced by headsets and wearable devices that
provide digital and projected
interfaces everywhere.” This means the technology will be
desired not only by corporations and
businesses but will eventually grow to be as popularly
demanded as smartphones and tablets
by the public.
Despite Noor’s optimism for the future of holographic
computing he concedes that
technology hasn’t fully caught up with his predictions for the
future. He does note current
developments in the process of overcoming some of these
hurdles. Projects underway across
the nation are focusing on better understanding hand gestures,
eye tracking technology, and
voice recognition. Initech needs to be apprised of complications
Hololens will face in its
development. Informing Initech that these complications are
currently being addressed is also
reassuring to the investors. Research projects designed to
overcome these obstacles are being
conducted by the most powerful and influential technological
companies such as, Microsoft,
Google, Amazon and Apple. These companies have the
resources to make the technological
breakthroughs needed to push holographic computing into the
future. This article is
informative concerning Hololens’ future and complications and
it written by a qualified author
who is educated in the field.

Instructions:
1. Select a passage or passages from one source that you feel
will be
particularly useful in developing your topic idea.
2. Create a copy of the passage(s)—either by photocopy (make
sure it's legible),
scanning, copying and pasting, or retyping. If the source is
online, you can
just include the URL address at the top of your exercise.
3. Below the copy, tell me if you’re using MLA, APA, or IEEE
citation for this
assignment (so that I can give you appropriate feedback). Just
write the
letters clearly somewhere above your writing for step 4…
4. Write 2-4 paragraphs (no shorter than 300 words) that explain
5. how this
source, and specifically your chosen passage(s), will assist you
in
developing your topic idea.
5. Make sure this explanation includes paraphrase, summary,
and quotation.
6. Underline your paraphrase and put your summary in italics.
Your quote(s)
should be obvious. Make sure to use signal phrasing in bold.
Review
the information in “Course Reading: Incorporating Sources”
closely!
7. Be sure to cite appropriately, using MLA, APA, or IEEE
parenthetical
citation. See “Course Reading: Citation Help” if you have
questions.
8. Include a separate Works Cited or References page (listing
the one source).
