Scientists have struggled to understand dolphin vocalizations, but new computer tools to both track dolphins and decode their complex vocalizations are now emerging. Dr. Denise Herzing has been studying Atlantic spotted dolphins, Stenella frontalis, in the Bahamas for over three decades. Her video and acoustic database encompasses a myriad of complex vocalizations and dolphin behavior. Dr. Thad Starner works on mining this dataset and decoding dolphin sounds, and has created a wearable underwater computer, CHAT (Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry), to help establish a bridge for communication between humans and dolphins. Starner and Herzing will present this cutting-edge work and recent results, including perspectives on the challenges of studying this aquatic society, and decoding their communication signals using the latest technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/dolphin-communication-cracking-the-code-tickets-18741812265\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERSVP for the lecture\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003E|\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scheller.gatech.edu\/why-scheller\/visit-campus\/directions-parking.html\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EDirections and parking\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe next day on October 21st, two more events related to wearable computing and future technology \u0026ndash; The Georgia Tech Wearable Computing Center Forum, and the GVU Fall Research Showcase.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech Wearable Computing Center Forum\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFollowing last year\u0026rsquo;s success, the Wearable Computing Center Forum is now an annual endeavor. The WCC Forum is an opportunity to hear from pioneers in wearable technology about the state of the art in the field. Experts in important application areas will also speak to how wearable technology might help solve problems unique to these areas; healthcare or wearables in the workplace for example.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe forum keynote speaker is Brian Ballard, CEO \u0026amp; Co-Founder of APX Labs where he is working on the next industrial revolution - using smart glasses to create powerful ways for the workforce to interact with the digital and physical world. Brian has been on the forefront of developing software solutions that enable revolutionary new scenarios for smart glasses in the enterprise.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTalented and multi-strumentalist Rh\u0026ograve; will perform at the forum. He studied music extensively when he was growing up thanks to a kindly uncle who saved him from playing football every night with the other kids. Born Rocco Centrella, the young maverick has a unique relationship with sound. Balance is key to the work of Rh\u0026ograve;, whose voice travels to some unusual and very Italian harmonic vistas, mixing folk and electronic.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/wcc.gatech.edu\/content\/wcc-forum-2015\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERegister for the Wearable Computing Center Forum\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EGVU Fall Research Showcase\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat will be the next great innovation in wearable computing, mobile apps, and digital design?
