EAGER: Arctic Glass

该项目探讨了新兴消费技术谷歌眼镜在极地科学实地考察中的创新应用基础。新的和破坏性的谷歌眼镜可穿戴计算设备为研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，参与设备的早期开发阶段，这将对技术创新产生重大影响。玻璃？免提操作使该设备特别有潜力成为偏远、恶劣地区的研究工具，如阿拉斯加北坡。作为概念验证，该项目将产生几个小型的玻璃特定的软件应用程序，与目前正在进行的研究项目相一致。它还将为支持网络基础设施活动的发展奠定框架，例如远程实地工作的创新网络方法，成本效益传感器集成，远程课堂计划的新通信方法，以及通过技术进行的更智能的数据收集方法。该项目直接涉及极地网络基础设施的发展。

This project explores the foundation for innovative uses of the emerging consumer technology Google Glass in scientific fieldwork applied to polar regions. The new and disruptive Google Glass wearable computing device presents a unique opportunity for researchers to engage in the early development stages of a device poised to heavily impact the course of technological innovation. Glass? hands free operation gives the device particularly strong potential as a research tool in remote, harsh regions, such as the North Slope of Alaska. As proof of concept, this project will produce severalsmall Glass specific software applications that align with research projects currently in progress. It will also lay framework the development of supporting cyberinfrastructure activities, such as innovative network approaches for remote fieldwork, cost effectivesensor integration, new methods of communication for remote classroom programs, and smarter data collection methodologies through technology. The project directly addresses the development of a polar cyberinfrastructure.
