Videogames
David Gottlieb invented the first mass-produced arcade game called Baffle Ball in 1931, which was a precursor to pinball. Although pinball grew in popularity, it was banned in NYC in the 1930s as gambling. Gottlieb introduced new pinball games featuring multiple flippers in 1947 that skirted gambling laws and reignited the arcade industry. The earliest interactive video games emerged in the 1950s and 1960s on computers that filled entire rooms, and Spacewar in 1961 is considered the first interactive video game. Today video games span genres from mobile apps and social networking games to massively multiplayer online games played by millions.

This slide deck is from the Summer of Tech talk about ICT careers in Wellington, New Zealand.
John Clegg talks about the Summer of Tech Programme and provides some tips on how to build a meaning career in IT.
Film in the digital age
Digital technology has affected the film industry in several ways. It has allowed for electronic storyboards and simulations, cheaper shooting using digital video, and the widespread use of computer-generated imagery in films. Digital has also transformed the movie experience through IMAX, surround sound, and spectacle. Internet distribution has both reduced costs and increased piracy, while also allowing for audience interaction and potentially democratizing the filmmaking process. However, some argue that a shift entirely to digital could mean the "death of cinema" by de-skilling the industry and replacing realism with computer-generated artifice.
Gadgets
This document provides information about gadgets from the past, present, and future. It discusses past gadgets such as the Sony Walkman, Polaroid camera, and original Game Boy. Present gadgets mentioned include smartphones, iPods, smart TVs, and Android watches. Future gadgets discussed are flexible AMOLED displays that can be folded, sunglasses with built-in MP3 players, transparent televisions, gaming through motion sensors without buttons, and an Apple iRing that controls audio playback from an iPhone. The document is presented by a group of six members and focuses on technological devices over time.
It's about people, not devices...
This document discusses the diversity of mobile devices and user experiences globally. It notes that while smartphones have gained popularity in some markets, global smartphone penetration remains only around 23% and the mobile experience varies greatly depending on location, device capabilities, and network infrastructure. This diversity is likely to continue as new platforms and low-cost devices disrupt the market.
Its about people, not devices
The document discusses the diversity of mobile devices globally and how this diversity is likely to persist. It notes that while some designers may choose to only design for the newest, most powerful platforms, an inclusive approach is needed to provide accessibility while still ensuring a great user experience across a wide range of contexts, inputs, and users. Context, attention, and usability have changed as mobile devices have become more capable and integrated into more aspects of our lives.
Rethinking the Mobile Web by Yiibu
This document discusses creating an accessible and inclusive mobile experience. It begins by noting that while some devices like the iPhone are popular, they only represent a small portion of the overall mobile device market and user population. It then examines the need to make the mobile web accessible to all users, not just those with certain devices, and provides examples of how usage and capabilities vary greatly across the global mobile landscape. The document advocates for an adaptive approach that considers this diversity and creates an experience optimized for all types of mobile browsers and networks.

Assassin s creed-3---liberation (2)
Here are a few key points from the article:
- Aveline de Grandpré is one of the first prominent black female protagonists in a major video game.
- The developers wanted to create a believable mixed-race character for 18th century New Orleans and researched historical tropes around race at the time.
- They avoided trying to represent the entire black experience through one character, instead showing different perspectives through other characters she interacts with.
- It was important to the developers to create a strong female protagonist who was not defined by her gender or race alone.
So in summary, the developers took a thoughtful approach to representation by grounding Aveline's character in historical context but avoiding

Applications of 3 d task 1 3d the basics
3D animation has evolved significantly from early 3D games in the 1980s to its current widespread use in films, TV, and games. Some key developments include the first 3D computer animation created in 1972 by Ed Catmull, Pixar's pioneering 1988 short film Tin Toy which was the first CGI film to win an Oscar, and the increasing use of 3D in films starting with Jurassic Park in 1993. Today, 3D animation is commonly used in films, TV, and games through techniques like rigging and motion capture, and it allows for both professional and individual animators to tell stories through interactive 3D worlds.
Trending The Future - Gaming Beyond Reality
Gaming, game mechanics, and gamification are buzzwords that marketers often mis-use and abuse. So why are games such a hot topic in ad-land? We believe the future of gaming in advertising is beyond petty points and badges. Games are successful because they enable people to experience things normally impossible in everyday life. For the future of advertising, new mobile technology will tie gaming and reality closer together allowing the creation of brand experiences that elevate reality in a new and inspiring way.
Iproduct presentation(final)
I-product technologies like smartphones and tablets are changing game development. New technologies allow for motion control using sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers. Touchscreens enable multi-touch gameplay. Future games may use brainwave sensors and phantom sensations to create more immersive experiences. This raises issues like reduced exercise and blurred realities. Game developers must adapt to new platforms and face more competition. Gamers will have more options and social gameplay. The game industry is shifting as development requires new skills and monetization models change.
3 d in games
3D technology has evolved significantly since its early uses in games in the 1980s. Early 3D games used basic 3D environments and graphics. By the 1990s, fully 3D games became popular due to titles like Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot. 3D is now standard in games and brings realistic worlds and narratives to life. 3D animation also advanced, starting with basic computer-generated animations in the 1970s and advancing to high quality productions from Pixar. 3D is now commonly used in both film and television through CGI and compositing.

The purpose of a resume is to get the applicant an interview. A good resume should show the applicant's strengths, why they want to work in their industry, that they are curious, how they learn, and that they get things done. It should tell the recruiter what the applicant is, where they have been, and what they have accomplished.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
