Book Launch

Latitude was commissioned by Parabola as part of Dead Reckoning, an exhibition commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Capt William Bligh. Focussing on the notorious mutiny on the HMS Bounty, Cotterrell constructed a simulation of Blighs historic 5,800km open boat journey taken in the ships lifeboat. Directly informed by the anecdotal and navigational notes taken from Blighs log, the panoramic first-person view charts the shifting horizon witnessed by Bligh and his companions on their travels.

The ocean is the ultimate mapping challenge: free from reference points it offers a desert of uncertainty and isolation. The same stars look down on mariners now as 250 years ago but augmented with digital information and analogue communications the electronic maps of the oceans bristle with information. Virtual markers populate the ocean floor with plotted depths, underwater mountain ranges, submerged reefs, tidal currents and volcanic activity. Traversing oceans has, like much of contemporary experience, become mediated through technology and virtual imagery.

Using simulation technology developed by KongsBerg AS, Norway and with advice and support of the Maritime Simulation Unit at South Tyneside College, Cotterrells Latitude used data recorded by Bligh in his notebook combined with oceanographic information and a vessel modelled on the original elevation drawings to render with physical accuracy the motion and view of the occupants of Blighs launch. Generated in real-time the imagery is not pre-recorded but created mathematically through the coordinates, weather, and other information available. In a sense this is a reverse engineered log-book allowing the audience to translate the notes and figures recorded in Blighs journal into sensory experience.

The apple ipad historical launch by steve jobs has captivated the tech savvy across the globe. The geeky and sleek look,

virtual key board,9.9 Inch with 720 gm, 16-64GB is a feature between laptop and mobile.the cost is between 500- 1000 US$, can work on 3G spetrum as well as has the capacity of 4G as well.

Digital book having reading software , with an alliance by amazon.com is a great advantage for the avid readers who wants to study the book online

the Apple ipad has you tube feature, google earth, mails, browsing, photography, etc.
Reviewers were mixed and were ambivalent on whether the iPad will be a smash hit like the iPod, which controls over 70 percent of the market for MP3 players, or the iPhone, which completely transformed the smartphone arena.

Though the apple has targetd to sell 30- 40 Million apple ipad in this year alone. Its going to get launch in march in USA and in India i will be rolled probably in mid june.

From IT security point of view it is risk free and but also thats because, they are being used less compartively to MS.Popular complaints included the lack of a camera, multi-tasking capabilities, a USB port, and support for videos made with Adobe Flash software.

Very soon,Microsoft is comin up with the same line of product.
