NKO.ORG records the S.A.V.E. Program. Also, it covers environmental science, scientific images, disaster tech, and space research. Next, it also records tech projects tied to Paul Garrett Hugel and Maui.
In 1989, the S.A.V.E. Program began. Silicon Graphics staff sought better tools for environmental research. The aim was to make advanced tech easy to use.
In 1995, Maui became home to the Maui S.A.V.E. Program. MHPCC, Silicon Graphics Computers, and the program worked as a team. They used tech to address problems in the environment.
First, an SGI Indigo hosted nko.mhpcc.edu. Later, the site moved to nko.org. Also, NKO means No Ka Oi. It means the best. Thus, this name fits Maui.
Next, we made an early VR site. For example, users could explore Maui and the solar system. Also, it used Virtual Reality Modeling Language, or VRML, to show 3D worlds.
In 2002, I sent live video from the field in Maui over wireless Internet. Then, I was the first to stream this way with Maui Sky Fiber 3G devices.
NKO.ORG also tested a streaming server. The team used QuickTime Streaming Server. We shared live video from Maui. Viewers saw land, events, and issues in the environment.
Today, we build AI systems with rules and guardrails. Also, they help with political science, court study, and social justice. In addition, we work on care for the land and the environment. Finally, we use cameras for 360-degree photos and video.
Beyond Maui, NKO.ORG supports disaster tech and IT work in Hawaiʻi and beyond. Paul Garrett Hugel volunteers his skills. He helps with disaster response.
Now, explore NKO.ORG for stories, images, and research. Learn more about Maui’s natural and cultural heritage.
This homepage readability fix began with two red flags in the Yoast panel. First, the page had long runs of similar sentences. Second, it needed more transition words. So I rewrote the weak parts, and then I checked the result. … Read More
