Imaginez : vous marchez dans la rue, vos lunettes traduisent en temps réel les panneaux, affichent votre itinéraire, identifient une œuvre d'art, ou vous alertent sur une hypoglycémie. Science-fiction ? Plus vraiment. En 2025, la réalité augmentée s'invite sur notre nez. Meta, Google, Snap, XREAL, Xiaomi, Zeiss se livrent une bataille pour transformer l'œil en nouveau centre de gravité numérique. Ces lunettes sont-elles prêtes à remplacer nos smartphones ? Attention aux nouveaux dangers.
In 2010, the Association for Information Systems formed a special interest group () to nurture an international community of academics that study the role of digital technologies in fostering environmentally, economically and socially sustainable development. Fifteen years later, we sit down with , the current SIGGreen president, to reflect on the progress we have made. What do we know about how digital technologies help greening our planet? What efforts in empirical, theoretical, and design work is still needed? Is our role to understand the role of digital technologies or do we need to push and enact change ourselves? We conclude that environmental questions and problems are now firmly on the radar screen of our discipline but more work needs to be done for information systems academics to transform the way we think about and use digital technologies.

TheHide.TV Everyday Sniper Podcast, Ultimate Hunter Challenge Recap. We traveled to Cameo in Palisade Colorado, just off I-70. This is a State run shooting facility in the tabletop mountains of Colorado. Awesome venue if you have never been I cannot recommend it enough. I had a super enjoyable time at this competition. It fit my style and mindset very well. It's find it, range it, engage it. That is practical that is real world. My final result was a 20th which I explain and talk about, I was very happy with that result. Shot a Terminus Apollo Lite in 65PRC. It has a Bartlein Carbon Fiber barrel, 24" with an MDT Competition brake, 4 port. I had a Zeiss 4-24x with an AREA419 Mount, and the MDT HTN26 stock that had an Atlas CAL with Extension. Ammo was a factory Hornady 143gr ELDX. Very straight forward, I like the enforcement of the rules at the match and think everything was practical. Practical is good, as is the consistency of the enforcement of the rules. I think Walt and Austin did an amazing job with the match making it challenging, fair, and enjoyable to shoot. They were the perfect hosts. Be sure to check out the site, video is up, HideTV is working.
