These videos have been out for a while, but I just came across them recently. Be sure to view the last “Unpacked” version. I really like the midpoint of version 2 which shows new medical visualization technology for collaboratively reviewing patient MRI.
Amy Southerland wrote a piece in The Atlantic on the use of games in higher education. In the short article she mentions Tom Chatfield’s TED talk “7 Ways Games Reward the Brain” (Tom also wrote a great book, Fun, Inc., that I highly recommend).

Kent Bottles, M.D. (past-Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Iowa Health System) wrote a great blog entry on games, learning, and the future of technology in healthcare. Well worth a read. (Via The Health Care Blog: Will Avatars, Robots, and Video Games Replace Doctors?.)
I noticed several tweets on the use of Microsoft Kinect to control actions in off-the-shelf video games (e.g. World of Warcraft) and decided to check it out. Watch this impressive video from USC Institute of Creative Technologies. Controlling video games in this way opens up a whole new world of possibilities–I’m especially enthusiastic about combining [...]
Hans Rosling, Professor of International Health at the Karolinska Institute and director of the Gapminder Foundation, gained quite a bit of notariety on TED for his “Gapminder” Visualization Technique. He just released a new video that compares lifespan to per capita income for over 200 countries.
