Nokia’s noBounds

EventsTechnologyEducation by: iThinkEd Staff

Recent reports from multiple sources, including Engadget, assert that researchers at Nokia are developing a project called noBounds, a low-power Nokia’s noBoundssoftware solution that seeks to allow the pairing of a cellphone or handheld with virtually any type of display to deliver full HD video at 30 frames per second over USB or WLAN.

Much like the TV-Out functionality present in Nokia’s N95 and N82 smartphones, the noBounds project is a low-power software solution for devices that aims to extend HD quality video and functionality to a second screen. noBounds is a Python-based application which not only can be used to attach an external high resolution display to a mobile device, it can also seamlessly use available input devices such as a keyboard or a USB mouse.

According to Brighthand.com, to date, a network of market leaders in flat panel, projector and the smartphone industry have joined to push forward the idea and application of noBounds.

Needless to say, this software would be an invaluable mLearning tool, providing students and teachers with an opportunity to seamlessly collaborate in the collective construction of classroom presentations.
