That reminds me on the old VR helmet game platforms, it had a dual screen helmet with tilt sensors for visual and a 3d space detected controler, you could not realy walk around but it detected where you where looking at and pointing at, pitty those I remember ran on an amiga system and nobody made an SL client for amiga (the power pc upgraded amigas can run it power wise) but it would be a heck of an immergion to run sl in a VR system.

still shows them as physical things you have to touch.
wish i could say more than this: screen projected into your eye that makes it appear to float in the air a couple of feet in front of you. ir tracker follows eye focus and tracks blinks. voice command capable. Voice to text enabled. hand motion detection enabled. Most of this was being developed in 1979. Also in 1979 was the start of atomic level quantum memory capabilities. (IBM released a white paper on this one 20 or so years later) Atoms are ones and zeroes. I just want to survive 40 more years to see these things come to fruition. You guys ain't seen sheeaht yet. |

I seem to have this habit of working on an idea about the same time other people are, even though their efforts are not known to me at the time. _____________________

In the remote viewing business it is called "The Wave". Why am I not surprised it has a name? Although it does give me a heads-up on what technology is coming up. Now if I could just get some of these ideas patented for once before some obscure journal article about them gets published. _____________________

I wonder why a Microsoft video is in Quicktime format.

at a guess, because someone transcoded it to mp4 from another source (at least it seems like mp4 at first blush, I didn't dig)

I wonder why a Microsoft video is in Quicktime format. And why does the video actually have physical displays? _____________________
