  What will the home theater system of tomorrow look like? This is the question Albert Hwang raises in his third part on spatial computing, I wanted to share today. He continues to nicely discuss the details on possible virtual and mixed reality interaction forms as he did with his first two videos before. The living room feels more like a VR environment (such as a CAVE), but simulated with his (fake) see-through goggles, combining real and virtual. Interaction is a crucial part for really working mixed reality and is often neglected. People use awkward devices like flysticks, spacemice, etc.

  Living in an Augmented Reality

  Over the years, many have dreamed about using mobile technology to create a kind of “augmented reality translation system” that translates whatever you are looking at into a language you can understand, and displays it in place.  Back in 2008, Intel’s Paul Otellini demonstrated a prototype Chinese-to-English translator as part of his CES Keynote.   More recently, Word Lens for the iPhone does a beautiful job of cleanly translating text in place (supporting english, spanish and french), but the translation (in my experience) tends to be a bit spotty. Now, Microsoft has…

Michael Abrash, game and tech industry veteran, and now at Valve, recently wrote a blog post about his journey to Valve and the current internal research project on what he calls “wearable computing.”   For the rest of us, though, the description of what they are doing sounds exactly what researchers like me would call fully immersive AR.

  18 Apr 2012 | 9:03 am

  In light of all the talk of Google’s project glass, there are a bunch of folks suggesting that the other displays on the market can already do what Project Glass is trying to do.  And, I will agree, some of these displays are getting closer. Brother’s Airscouter (apparently due out this summer in Japan) is indeed a see-through virtual retinal display, and is “relatively small”. Click here to view the embedded video. But, it’s a LOT bigger and bulkier, and it’s “just the display.”   No camera.  No computer.  No sensors.  So, in practice, it…

  Almost immediately after posting their video on the Glasses project, creative folks around the world began posting knock-off videos, expressing their thoughts on the projects through pictures rather than words.  Because of my rather negative comments on the video, I’ve had a few people send me links to them.  I wanted to reply to a few here, since I think both of these videos (and ones like them) miss the point.

It works by using the camera to detect objects in the camera view and determines how far away they are. By working out your cars speed from the GPS the application can calculate the stopping distance and give you…
