Perhaps you've seen those new iPhone apps and they are also available for the iPad which allow you to walk around an object taking different pictures from different angles, and the app puts it all together so you have a 3-D modeling image. Well what if we did that when a professor was giving a lecture, or a famous or brilliant speaker was talking? Have you ever been to Disney World where they have Abraham Lincoln and they have a projector moving his face around and it looks as if he's talking to you? That's pretty cool isn't it?
Well, why can't we convert all the TED conference videos to holograms? You see, not long ago, I read a RAND report on how to bring creativity back into the classroom. Well, I can't think of a better way than to take those TED videos, and start playing them to junior high and high school students, and those in their first year of college. I'm quite certain that those that specialize in a certain niche in the upper division degreed programs are already watching the TED features that have to do with their academic field.
