A mentally disabled French man has been sentenced to jail for 6 months for “terrorism apologia” because he “laughed” at the Charlie Hebdo attack. In some schools, students who did not wish to observe a minute of silence for the killings have been reported to the police. That is going way too far. How do you even report teenagers to the police? They’re children, for God’s sake.

Smartwatch-controlled Drone

Sony Developer has put together a demo of controlling a drone with a smartwatch (with SmartEyeglass AR glasses as a display) – video embedded below:

The drone used is a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0. The SmartWatch 2 accelerometer is used to provide control signals for flying the drone, and the display on the display is used for more control inputs (for example, swiping will trigger the mini-drone to do rolls in the air). On the SmartEyeglass prototype, flight information and live video from the camera on the drone are displayed.

It is about time smartwatches were explored for other possibilities other than notifications and fitness tracking, to compliment other tech for other experiences.

The developers (Peter Bartos, Jonas Hellström and Alexander Najafi) have put together some background and a tutorial to set up your own version of this project, which you can find here

This is happening now. This image has to reach the rest of the world. The Kayapo being expelled from their homes for the construction of the Belo Monte Dam, which will flood 400.000 acres of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
