Obligatory question:

Anybody want to buy a used Space Navigator?

yeah, thanks a lot. My company server says it's a porno site and took down my name.

Imagine a pair of gloves, with multicoloured fingers.

Well it does have the word "cam" (camsex) in it... and the word "space" (myspace)... Just be prepared to explain what the site is, when HR calls you. Remember to try and point out that it's an interesting new "user interface design" and postulate some ways that it might benefit your company.

The product looks cool, but the vid sure ticks me off.

I wish people would TALK to me during these things instead of just blasting me with annoying pseudo-music and flashing two-word slides on the screen. Soooooo much stuff looks like this these days - designed for viewers with the attention span of a gnat. The stye is insulting and infuriating.

The first step to selling me anything is to NOT talk down to me or insult me in any other way.

This is "Augmented Reallity"

06-17-2008 13:06

This is a technology called Augmented Reality. Its quite simple actually, the technology is free and gadgets will be popping up everywhere. Second life is actually used as a medium for this type of technology quite a bit.

There's books on it and also if you search YouTube using the phrase "augmented reality" you'll see tons of demos from everything to small companies to BMW.

If youre really interested (and want to know how to set things up so you can visually see your boss as Bozo the Clown all the time) i recommend this book:

What really is cool is that they will be offering the software for free.
