EAGER: Arctic Glass

该项目探索了新兴消费技术谷歌玻璃在极地地区科学实地考察中的创新应用基础。新的颠覆性的谷歌Glass可穿戴计算设备为研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，可以参与到这种设备的早期开发阶段，这种设备有望对技术创新进程产生重大影响。玻璃吗?无需双手操作，使该设备在偏远、恶劣地区（如阿拉斯加北坡）作为研究工具的潜力特别大。作为概念验证，该项目将开发几个谷歌眼镜特定的小型软件应用程序，与目前正在进行的研究项目保持一致。它还将为支持网络基础设施活动的发展奠定框架，例如用于远程实地工作的创新网络方法、具有成本效益的传感器集成、用于远程课堂计划的新通信方法以及通过技术实现更智能的数据收集方法。该项目直接解决了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.
