Jacky Teo: Natural In Everyday Life

Hello! Welcome to Jacky Teo Weblog. The basic contents of my weblog is include on my personal profile, for example, personal biodata, working experience, education qualification, my principles of life, awards and achievements, words of wisdom, and favorite photo gallery. You can enjoy and read my profile on the flash animation.

In here, my weblog design was almost used green color as a main color to identify the natural concept. The reason I created a natural concept on my weblog is because we often use natural concepts rather than formal concepts in everyday life. The natural concepts in everyday life are learned through examples rather than abstract rules. For example, we use the term furniture to refer to objects that we view as equivalent (e.g., dresser, chair, and table). The instances of a natural concept share characteristic features, but these features not necessary or sufficient for membership. Membership in a natural concept is not all-or-none, but rather, instances are judged in terms of the strength of their resemblance to the concept. This means that some instances, namely, those with high resemblance, will be judged as better examples of the concept that will other instances with low resemblance. For example, most people would agree that armchair is more typical example of the concept furniture than is bean bag chair.

Microsoft Surface

Microsoft Surface is a surface computing platform that responds to natural hand gestures and real world objects. It has a 360-degree user interface, a 30-inch reflective surface with a XGA DLP projector underneath the surface which projects an image onto its underside, while five cameras in the machine's housing record reflections of infrared light from objects and human fingertips on the surface. The surface is capable of object recognition, object/finger orientation recognition and tracking, and is multi-touch and is multi-user. Users can interact with the machine by touching or dragging their fingertips and objects such as paintbrushes across the screen, or by placing and moving placed objects. This paradigm of interaction with computers is known as a natural user interface (NUI).

Using the specially-designed barcode-style "Surface tags" on objects, Microsoft Surface can offer a variety of features, for example automatically offering additional wine choices tailored to the dinner being eaten based on the type of wine set on the Surface, or in conjunction with a password, offering user authentication.

Web Operating System - eyeOS

eyeOS is a Free Software project that develops the Cloud Computing's Operating System. eyeOS was thought as a new definition of Operating System, where everything (desktop and applications) can be used from everywhere through a web browser.

Maybe the most important key point of eyeOS against its main competitors is that eyeOS is Free, Open Source Software, released under the AGPL3 license. This means that anyone can install an eyeOS server easily (just as easy as Wordpress, Drupal or any other PHP based script, or even easier, since eyeOS does not require a database).

I personally used eyeOS as my Web Operating System. The application of eyeOS includes Word, Excel, Power Point, FTP, Add Contact, Internal and External email message, and etc. I used eyeOS to monitor my Home PC by using RealVNC. Sometime, I live in my friend house and download my personal file from my Home PC to my friend PC through the eyeOS. That mean, I not need to carry my personal laptop to any place. I only need Internet access and PC. It extremely flexible for me!!!

Click here for those who just want to use eyeOS there is a free public server where anyone can create an account and start using eyeOS in a few seconds.
