Over and out from CEI.

iPhone app translates languages in real time

Okay this has nothing to do with EnSight.

But if you have an interest in international traveling, augmented reality, amazing software, and/or iphones then this might catch your fancy.

My colleague Jay showed this to me this morning. Its an app on the iPhone that you point the camera of the iphone at, it shows you the scene in front of you with the text in the scene translated to your language. We only tried the demo, which reverses the words, hello becomes olleh, but the rest of the scene is unchanged. This makes it very natural to walk around a museum in France, look at a menu in Spain, and see the contents in your native language.

Amazing. And its better than Google Goggles, because it does it in real time, on a phone, and doesn't require an internet connection.

Currently only works with Spanish to English, but more languages are surely on the way.

Watch the demo movie at the bottom.

This is not visualization, but it might be useful

This is not about data visualization. Actually its about hiding data. Hiding your personal credit card, identity, log-ins, etc. using a software program.

I've been using 1Password on the Mac for years and would have gone insane without it. Occasionally a friend, a PC friend, will ask if it also works on Windows. With a touch of glee I answer "no". But since I also use a PC from time to time, that was really a bittersweet situation.

Good news, 1Password is now on Mac, iPhone, Windows, and Android phones. So everyone, enjoy. As my neighbor used to say "mangia, mangia".

Now, back to our regular world of data visualization.

IEEE Visualization Contest 2011

Big Data Viz Contest. Prize: iPad.

CEI is proud to sponsor the IEEE Visualization Contest of 2011 which this year targets the field of fluid dynamics.

The data from the contest is already in EnSight Case format. Giving all you EnSight users a leg up.

CEI is sponsoring a prize for the winner, an iPad. We sure hope an EnSight user is the winner. We'd love to give that iPad to an EnSight user. However, CEI is not the judge panel of this contest, so you'll have to give it your best effort.

The goal is to devise a visualization that allows for exploring the stability of a fluid dynamics simulation of a pump with respect to different models of its turbulences.

Any entries from EnSight customers will also receive a small gift from CEI in appreciation of the effort of competing.

Good luck.

HPC Wire article about CEI customer P&G

Potato Chips, Diapers, Laundry soap and more are all improved by EnSight. Bet you didn't know that.

Read about P&G usage of CAE and HPC in this article.

Yes, I know EnSight is not mentioned. Does that mean EnSight is not important to P&G? Or does it mean that its the secret sauce they don't want to let out? No, I guess the secret sauce problem is a different company.
