2. The speaker I have chosen for this
assignment is Matt Mills’ “Image
recognition that triggers augmented
reality” talk.
3. He also had an assistant on the stage to help
him show off the technology to the audience.
Her name is Tamara Roukaerts.
4. Basically, his speech was about technology advancing fast
enough that he and a group of other UK developers have
created the ability to augment reality with images from your
camera phone.
They had the application created so that it is easy to use for the
mass.
5. Matt Mills captured the audience by asking
hypothetical questions at the beginning of his
speech. He brought the audience to think about
themselves and have it concern themselves. He kept
the information simple to understand for the
audience as well as bringing interest to all different
types of people. Throughout his speech, Mills
showed examples of his product to the audience. He
made the idea sound likable and useable to major
companies to the adolescent child.

8. Mills showed ways where holiday
cards could be enhanced with a
video.
9. I think that Mills best followed the first commandment very well. He
presented an idea that hasn’t been perfected. He showed and
idea, with a collaboration of many people, the capabilities of the
future. He talked about and idea, a project, a future that hasn’t
been seen, or even heard, often. His presentation amazed many
people, and probably clicked new ideas to future minds.
10. One the scale of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), in terms of
dynamism, Mills’ presentation was a 4. It was engaging,
but there were times where it was awkward. He would
stand there not knowing what to do, or at least that is
what I have perceived from time to time. I think that he
could improve by being more energetic and getting into
what he was presenting.
11. From Nancy Duarte, Mills told presentation in
an order. He spoke with a flow of a story like
structure. He spoke in equal story telling but
giving information as well.
12. From watching Mills, I
learned that you need to
grab the attention of the
audience at the
beginning. Having the
audience interact in
some way is a good
thing. It keeps the
audience engaged to the
topic. I would need to
speak in a story like
structure in my
presentation. I also need
to be more dynamic
during my presentation.
13. Robinson and Mills have similar and yet very
different ways they present. They both engage the
audience, but in different ways. Robinson makes
the audience think and reflect upon society, while
Mills thinks of their daily lives.
14. I think that Robinson is a little bit more animated in his
voice tone. He doesn’t talk in a monotone voice. Mills,
however, has somewhat of a dull tone. Sometimes he
talks a little unenthusiastically.
15. They both crack jokes every now and then, but I’ve
noticed that Robinson tells more jokes and metaphors
than Mills. Robinson has a way of making his audience
laugh. It was only towards the end of the presentation
that Mills had a laughing and smiling audience.
16. From what I have seen and learned from my TED
Talk, I would have the audience be more active and
ask hypothetical questions to them as well. I would
give them visual examples of what I’m talking
about or even just visual cues. I think considering
those in mind would help you, my fellow
classmates, in your future presentations. Of course
some presentations would need more visual than
others, but having some would help keep things
interesting.
