need to think some idea for cloud computing
currently keep stuck within home based virtual storage, nothing much to 发挥
but cloud computing usually big scale, not suitable for research also
so i currently focus in small scale cloud computing, maybe will use google app engine or amazon aws
but what can i do with small scale cloud computing + smartphone?
as smartphone computing power has been increasing exponentially. there is almost nothing smartphone cannot do or not enough speed to do
So actually there isn't a MUST to outsource the cpu intensive task to cloud, the smartphone can handle it without problem. So personally i think cloud + mobile is just some extra thing

another big problem is home-based cloud computing is that ur pc/server must be on 24/7. it is not eco-friendly.
If use the free google app engine/ amazon aws, then that is not main purpose already. Others ppl can develop web-based app on google app engine/amazon aws, there is no need ME to develop on it

So what can I do with small scale cloud computing system? How can it benefits end users?

I have 1 idea currently
is to combine with my hand tracking system
Use smartphone camera to capture frame, but dont process it in the phone, send to home/cloud pc, process there, pass the result back to phone for user interaction.

this is the best that i could think for now
