mREPLAY

copyright, hacks, SIMS, friends

As Sean points out: Fellow SIMS student Patrick Riley and crew are developing a mobile application called mREPLAY that will be tested this Spring. It essentially allows you to see replays of sporting events on a mobile phone while you're in the bleachers.

While I don't watch a lot of sports, when I do and especially when I watch it live, I like to watch soccer. I can imagine this would be much cooler than craning our necks to see the lame-o jumbotron TV monitors. Also, I would like to think that this could be extended to other live events like concerts and circuses and so on. I would understand if copyright issues of the public performance variety made the latter difficult.

    Many thanks for the comment, Joe. Most importantly, mReplay (mobile replay) works on many current mobile devices including non-3G and PDAs (list of devices here) and allows users to send replays to their friends' mobile devices, even those with mReplay. It is also "on-demand," meaning users get to select exactly what they want replayed... a particular play, a television commercial, or anything else that is broadcasted on cable television. Even if the stadium big screen or the television broadcast does not replay a particular play, which in many, many cases they do not mReplay users can still get a replay. People commuting or others unable to watch the game on television may also enjoy this service.

    I agree that copyright may be an issue in some cases, but we have designed a way around that prickly issue. ;-)

    So it should work with any televised event? Cool!

And a few words about the structure of the eye . Everyone " retina ". Especially often we hear it buy clomid online in the phrase " retinal detachment ." So what is the retina ? This - the front edge of the brain, the most distant from the brain part of the visual analyzer. The retina receives light first , processes and transforms light energy into irritation - a signal that encodes all the information about what the eye sees . The retina is very complex and in their structure and function . Its structure resembles the structure of the cerebral cortex. The shell of the retina is very thin - about 0.14 mm.
