Eternal mindshine of the spotless sun...

*groan*

This is cool;

Maybe we will one day be able to touch virtual objects too.

Wait, they can generate a "pressure field" and all you're thinking is some run of the mill stuff like vr?? Damn it! This thing, given enough power might have dozens of applications! From car bumpers and "air bags" to "hover" craft... even shields protecting stuff from projectiles...

HOVERCRAFTS!!

I've been waiting for so long.

I dont think its that powerfull.
It can make you feel presure, but it wouldnt stop anything like a solid object would.

YET! ;) The sheer fact of generating a single region in space with more pressure is already astounding.

Indeed.
I was confident I would one day live in a part-virtual world. But I didnt dare to dream Id be able to touch it too ;)

This + AR technology could hold the future.

This isnt so much hi-tech as just a really nice idea;

Maybe this will be DHARMA someday:

Yes, but DHARMA has a supply of exotic mater already, they dont need other methods. :p

Personaly, I still think time-travel theorys are just overcomplicating things.
Gravity works in 4 dimensions, therefor if you go near an area something dense *used* to be, you will be pulled back in time slightly. (or rather, you would decelerate in time compared to everything else...so things would look like they slowed down to you).

I think something of suffient density...like a black hole, should be able to just pull you back in time.
The problem is, the blackhole would have to move, because being where the blackhole *is* isnt any good, you gota be where it used to be.

:lol:

blah :p

Another vision of our AR future;

Really nice concept video, even if I could nit-pick some stuff.

oh, and real pilots were flying against virtual ones;

Real pilots won.
Still, cool image;

No idea what the connection is to the artical though :p

To be honest that looks very lame :p but who knows.

Yeah I second that, it looks extremely stupid. I can't stand people with blue-tooth ear pieces, let alone walking with a "visor"...

Looks like some dystopian alternate reality from Doctor Who.

Here Comes the Sun

:zombie:

Docu on innovation of efficiency and market around solar energy harvesting.:tup:

Augmented Reality software ready for the launch of the first Google Andriod enabled phones.
Basicaly, you point at a landmark, and it brings up information on it.

Awesome, Google really scored a big one!

BBC has got a little AR advert for their Merlin series here;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/merlin/#/games/magiceye/

Basicaly, you can download it, print out a marker, and it shows videos alligned to where the market is.
Nicely, the program looks easy to edit for your own videos (there just wmv files in the tricks directory), allthough I havnt tried yet.

The google thing is pretty neat - will definitely be considering the migration from Win Mobile to Android and the G1 next contract

Some more neat G1 thingys. (allthough not nesscery exxclusive)

Music recognition software;

Barcode scanning/product comparison:

both pretty neat.

oh, and another demo of the tilting google street view thing;

:eek:

I knew there was that big geometric shape but those auoraglows just blew my mind. :sigh:

Yeah, the hexagon always amazes me.

Pretty sure thats heavily false-coloured image, but still cool.
