What Company Is Offering:
Qipit is a new online mobile service that lets you use your camera phone or digital camera to make a digital copy of any written or printed document to store, share via email or fax, or publish to the web.
How It Works:
With qipit you can copy whiteboards or class notes; fax documents and contracts; scan and copy receipts, reports, or invoices; email notes, letters and drawings to your friends; copy a poster, magazine article, or a notice on a bulleting board; even make digital copies of your tax forms and tax return for your files. You can use qipit like a portable scanner, or a mobile copier and you can send digital copies right from your cameraphone as a multimedia message (MMS) to an email or fax number. And qipit requires no mobile download or cell software. Basically, qipit turns your camera phone into a portable scanner, a mobile copier, and a mobile fax machine so that you can scan, copy, email and fax documents on the fly.
Qipit allows you to convert all of your written and printed documents into scan-quality digital copies (in black and white or color) for convenient online storage, without the need of a portable scanner, copier, or cell software. It's easy. All you do is take a picture of notes, a whiteboard or a document with your camera phone or digital camera; send it to qipit as a multimedia message (MMS) from your camera phone, via email or your qipit account; and qipit turns your photo into a clear digital copy, in PDF or JPEG format, that you can store or send to an email or fax number from your cell phone as a multimedia message (MMS) or mobile email, or on your PC via email or your qipit account. You can even publish your qipit copy to the web. Qipit is like a portable scanner, mobile copier, and a mobile fax machine, all in one.
With qipit, online file storage and file sharing is in the palm of your hand. Just like you share photos, you can share printed documents and handwritten notes or whiteboards. Qipit also takes the place of expensive interactive whiteboards, electronic whiteboards, digital whiteboards, electronic copy boards, or smartboards. Qipit lets you copy, store, fax, email and publish any information you put on a whiteboard, giving you a digital copy instead of just providing a printout. And qipit is a great way to archive all of your important documents like birth certificates, ID cards, passports, legal documents, tax documents and more.

SafeCheckIn.com is an exciting concept that allows singles the security of having someone always waiting for him or her to return from any activity
What Company Is Offering:
SafeCheckIn.com is an exciting concept that allows singles the security of having someone always waiting for him or her to return from any activity. When you are a single and heading out for a run, a hike, skiing or even a first date, you often do not have anyone to tell where you are going and when you expect to return. Nobody is waiting for you in case something goes wrong and you do not come back in time. Now anyone can have someone waiting to make sure they come back safely. SafeCheckIn.com is a service where individuals can put in specific information about themselves as well as information about any activity they are going to do. When they “check out”
How It Works:
SafeCheckIn will monitor their absence until the member “checks in” again. If the member is overdue then SafeCheckIn will attempt to contact the member to update their status. If SafeCheckIn cannot reach the member, we then contact the people that the member has designated as emergency contacts with the local authorities as being contacts of last resort. SafeCheckIn is designed for anyone who goes out hiking, running, fishing, hunting, skiing/snowboarding, takes road trips or any activity where an individual wants to make sure there is someone waiting for them to return home safely. It is that simple… tell SafeCheckIn where you are going and when you expect to come back. We will make sure you are safe or in the even you do not check back in and cannot be contacted, notify anyone you choose of your overdue status.
With the number of single households increasing every year there is an extreme need for a service like SafeCheckIn.com. SafeCheckIn can be used when meeting anyone new whether they are a first date, a business meeting or a stranger for any reason. You can be assured that if something happens, someone will be looking for you! How many news reports have we all heard about people being found alive after days or weeks and nobody knew they were missing or if someone did, did not have enough information to do a effective search? That is exactly what the service is designed for! When you go out, make sure you check out so someone is waiting for you to check in.

The Alternative, a London based Creative Agency, has developed a unique way to engage passers-by on busy London streets
The Alternative, a London based Creative Agency, has developed a unique way to engage passers-by on busy London streets.
In addition, this innovation has provided Orange with a fun way to excite and entertain customers for hours after their Carnaby Street retail store has closed for the day. The installation in the store's main window employs a large projection screen and highly advanced piece of motion capture technology. This installation has been developed by The Alternative and this is the first time it's been shown to the public. Using a large projected image and a touch-free interface, the installation provides users with a very engaging new way to activate news, film clips, music videos and many of Orange's unique services. To use it you simply wave your hand in thin air, because there are no buttons or touch-sensitive surfaces employed. All you need is a hand, and the ability to wave it wildly without caring what you look like.
This ground-breaking innovation really does appear to be a world-first, so naturally it's hard to create suitable comparisons. If forced to make one, Gavin Martin, Creative Director of The Alternative, says, “This really is the next generation of the user interface. We wanted to throw out all the traditional ways if interacting with technology and start from scratch. We created this with the needs of humans in mind, not computers. A few people have referenced the film 'Minority Report.’ The similarities are there with exception that with our interface you don’t need a 'magic glove', or indeed a controlled environment.” One of the most impressive features isn't a technical one, however. It's how the window turns even the most reserved person into a piece of street theatre within seconds. “The interactive is just as much fun when you watch others use it as it is to play with yourself. Because it requires movement, it is very intuitive and great fun. Tests have shown that we can now make a playful child out of any grown adult in a matter of seconds!” adds Martin.
The motion-capture system will undoubtedly find many more exciting applications across a wide variety of sectors. To properly appreciate the technology and the street theatre it generates, you simply must experience it.

The Overlay.TV platform allows viewers to interact with online video, and enables content owners and distributors to monetize their video assets
What Company is Offering:
Overlay.TV is an interactive media company that provides a video-advertising platform enabling users to lay contextual information directly onto video content.
How it Works:
The Overlay.TV platform allows viewers to interact with online video, and enables content owners and distributors to monetize their video assets. As video streams from its original location, such as leading video sharing sites, viewers are able to opt-in to receive “overlays” which provide contextual information about the content being viewed. The overlay technology allows any image in a video to be ‘hyper-enabled’ and allows a viewer to click on the image, right in the video, and take any number of desired actions that are directly associated with the context of the image being viewed.
The overlays can be embedded in external web pages, online shops, blogs and social network profiles. The simplicity and elegance of the Overlay.TV technology means that anyone posting video content will have a tool to add contextual information directly onto the video content – no pre-roll, no post-roll, no banners, and no changes to the video at all.

VooEasy to create a centralized location for communicating with your existing groups that you interact with outside of the Internet
VooEasy is a new network that has taken bits and pieces from a variety of social networking concepts in order to create a centralized location for communicating with your existing groups that you interact with outside of the Internet. Not yet launched, VooEasy is currently in private beta and has already gotten some seed funding from angel investors.
The network is comprised of multiple teams that you create upon sign up. This essentially allows you to make a mini world of your own, that touches whatever aspects of your life you’d like to reflect in your online expression. This isn’t entirely different from a groups option on an existing social network, but each team is still very much intertwined into your VooEasy profile.
The benefits of enabling a permission-based approach to letting users select who sees what aspects of their profiles within a single account. This retrofitting of added customization on an individual level is being tested by the likes of collectiveX and Friendster. But what VooEasy has done is offer this option, to some extent, right from the start.
VooEasy is hoping to, by encouraging you to create teams based on your interests and actual lifestyle. So you can create a team for work, school, hometown, clothing brand, book club, television show…anything you find of interest to you. Where VooEasy differs is the fact that all of your information is aggregated onto your profile.
Once you get to your profile, you may be a bit overwhelmed, because it is extremely centralizing in its approach to offering you a one-stop-shop for the activity going on throughout the site, and how it relates back to you. Your profile as well as your teams each have “cards,” which act as visual representations of your online presence and social graph, to a certain degree.
