Vectorform Debuts New Video Streaming Experience for IPL
Posted by Administrator – May 20, 2011
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a cricket league for Twenty20 competition that is reshaping the game in more ways than one, and setting a new standard in sports broadcasting via design and development from Vectorform. This year we’re helping with a brand-new streaming experience for the league, and the crowds are going wild. What’s so amazing about this player? It uses HTTP dynamic streaming, for self-adjusting quality based on a user’s internet connection. It’s just like a DVR, letting a user pause or rewind the live game. It supports live HD streaming—a first in India, and video ads can be embedded in the live stream—providing the most immersive cricket experience this side of the stadium.

Physical Rehab via Kinect for Xbox 360: make it happen in Haiti!
Posted by Administrator – May 17, 2011
I love Vectorform because:
- We built a demo for physical rehabilitation via Kinect for Xbox 360
- That demo stole the show at a tech demo day by Kaiser Permanente focused on gamification because it presented a fun way to support physical rehab and exercise for kids, and tracked response accuracy
- The mastermind behind using Kinect for literacy in South Africa made us aware of the Haitian Amputee Mother’s Alliance
- Asked if we could possibly help, I presented their work providing prosthetic limbs and rehabilitative services for victims of the earthquake to my boss, who gave me a two-word answer:
- Do It.

Posted by Administrator – May 5, 2011
Here I am with Dr. Bill Crounse of Microsoft’s Health Tech Today, “a weekly online series providing cutting-edge stories at the intersection of health and information technology.” Yesterday’s interview with Dr. Crounse focused on three of Vectorform’s medical solutions: our Windows Phone 7 Mobile Med; Sony MD2GO, which runs on Windows 7, Windows 7 Slate, and any broswer-based, multi-touch enabled device; and a demo for kids’ physical rehab via Kinect for Xbox 360—which I performed on-camera!

Vectorform welcomes Bleep Bloop & 30 Rock’s John Lutz
Posted by Administrator – April 27, 2011
“Do you have a personal Catan glory moment?” Why, yes we do—and here it is via Bleep Bloop and College Humor! 30 Rock’s John Lutz, Bleep Bloop’s Jeff Rubin and Pat Cassels, and an audio cameo from Vectorform’s own Frances Calandra make this one for the record books. Our Microsoft Surface adaptation of Mayfair Games’ Settlers of Catan made a big splash with game-lovers around the world, and we were thrilled to see such an enthusiasm from a squad claiming “two thumbs down is a good thing.” We give this one two thumbs up, and we think John might be onto something with Scotch ‘n Settlers!

“The Ultimate Unboxing” on The Totally Rad Show
Posted by Lindsay Lamb – April 6, 2011
“I heard a crack.” We had a few reasons to get excited watching Alex Albrecht, Dan Trachtenberg and Jeff Cannata from The Totally Rad Show unboxing our Surface and playing with our apps. We’ve unboxed so many Surface units we could do it our sleep—that’s right, the power button is on the bottom—but this is a new favorite.

We’re reading about Kinect improving literacy in South Africa
Posted by Administrator – March 31, 2011Not us, but pretty amazing. TechNet reports on use of Kinect to support learning in Lakeside Park Primary in Vryheid, KwaZulu-Natal. Kinect technology has certainly been a game-changer–for Microsoft, for digital experience folk like us, and now for young learners in a small school in South Africa.
