Stakeholder Perspectives
Concurrent 4D: Preparing for Tomorrows Stakeholders Today: Wear it, Map it, Augment it!
Weve had our hands full with new formats, new distribution channels, new enrichments, but where do we go from here? Wearable computers, geo-location services, and augmented reality will change the way we create and consume content, and the time to prepare is now. Learn how Google Glass is changing education and research across all disciplines. Find out how geo-mapping services will increase discovery of content and enable new collaboration initiatives. Explore how layers of data will enrich content, improve user experience, and change how we live day to day. From augmented to diminished reality, from heads up displays to internal sensors, the Internet of Things will connect content to people in ways weve not yet begun to imagine.

Jason Karl, JournalMap
Jason Karl is the creator of JournalMap – a web application that maps geotagged scientific literature based on where studies were conducted. Through his research and outreach as a scientist with the US Department of Agriculture, Jason saw that discovery of scientific knowledge was limited because there were no efficient ways to search for scientific literature geographically or analyze geographic patterns of knowledge. JournalMap was developed to meet these needs, and has quickly grown beyond the domains of agriculture and environmental science to applications across many science fields.
Adam Jay Harrison, World in Flux
Jay Harrison is a former US Government senior executive and change agent who achieved the distinction of being awarded an unprecedented three consecutive Army Greatest Invention awards for his contributions to technology innovation in the public sector. Following his public service, Jay built one of the fastest growing aerospace and defense technology companies in the U.S., Mav6 LLC. He is now co-founder and CEO of World in Flux, a Toronto-based company that is building the first true read-write, Augmented Reality-based publishing platform.
