  On the cutting edge of current technologies are portable media, where users can download information and take it with them to use it anytime, anywhere. Some of the newest ways of sharing portable information using the Internet are podcasting and vodcasting.  Podcasts are a distribution of audio files such as radio programs or music videos, over the web.  A derivative of the term (and idea) of podcast is “vodcast,” also commonly referred to as a video podcast.  A vodcast functions in much the same way as a podcast, except that instead of users downloading only audio files, they also download corresponding video files to their portable media players.  While one might think that podcasting and vodcasting have the ability to revolutionize education and training, these advances are not stand-alone panaceas.  However they do offer an incredible educational advantage in that their multimedia aspects attend to a variety of learning needs.

  WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY? Augmented reality is one of the biggest technology trends right now. Augmented reality provides us with the real-life environment right in front of us. but, before elaborating on this technology, we should be able to make the distinction between augmented reality and virtual reality.  -Augmented reality uses a real-world setting while virtual reality is completely virtual. -Augmented reality users can control their presence in the real world; Virtual reality users are controlled by the system -Virtual reality requires a headset device, but Augmented reality can be accessed with a smartphone. -Augmented reality enhances both the virtual and real-world while virtual reality only enhances a fictional reality Augmented reality can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate three-dimensional registration of virtual and real objects.   This experience i...

  What Is Virtual Reality? Virtual reality refers to a computer-generated simulation in which a person can interact within an artificial three-dimensional environment using electronic devices. In this simulated artificial environment, the user is able to have a realistic-feeling experience. This is what makes virtual reality perfect. There are lots of advantages of virtual reality. Firstly, virtual reality creates an immersive artificial world that can seem quite real, via the use of technology. Furthermore, through a virtual reality viewer, users can look up, down, or any which way, as if they were actually there. Finally, virtual reality has many use-cases, including entertainment and gaming, or acting as a sales, educational, or training tool. The concept of virtual reality is based on the natural combination of two words: the virtual and the real. The former means "nearly" or "conceptually," which leads to an experience that is near-reality through the use o...

  Second Life  is a three-dimensional virtual, online world where users create avatars that can travel to worlds and lands, participate in role-playing games, create and sell products, and socialize with other Second Life residents. New Second Life users select their avatars from generic male and female templates (residents and their avatars don't necessarily share the same gender). Although a resident could use an unmodified template, everyone else would know that he or she was a new user who doesn't know how things work. Most residents customize their avatars a little before leaving Orientation Island. One important factor in avatar customization is the inventory. The inventory holds hair, skin, objects, animations, and body parts and has an infinite capacity. A user can open his or her inventory and choose to put on or remove items, like clothing or hairstyles. Residents can add to an avatar's inventory at any time, creating a practically limitless numbe...
