Not much info on this video. It was shared with me via Twitter from @alextootchie. Enjoy:
Think something like this will ever happen? Do you even want it to happen?
Update: And the paper [PDF document] that goes with this video. Hat tip to @chilko.
Hi Stefan!
What`s the deal? I hardly see any magic involved.
The earphones? Can be done via bluetooth like an ordinary bluetooth headset.
The wrist device? A Wii controller on steroids.
The glasses? Eye tracking is hardly high-tech in 2009. Consumer research firms use it all the day to track consumer behaviour when testing new products or the layout of a new supermarket. Semi-transparent glasses are also quite standard. Check this out http://www.vuzix.com/iwear/products_wrap920av.html
The N97? Well…
The message on the window? Oh come on… http://www.vimeo.com/784138/
The message from the guy on the boat? Layar could do this already with tweets…
I think all this can be done within the next 3 to 5 years maximum. Certainly not more.
Will people want? When the first hooker or drug seller layers emerge, they will. Trust me.
I think the trickiest part would be to get this chick out for a very real dinner…
Yes, maybe.
As with anything, subject to tremendous potential abuse.
But it might be fun if it gets to put the lotion on the….
I love technology but sms messages appearing on windows as soon as I wake up? I can hardly see when I first get up! And what if a message appears that you might not want your partner to read. Eek… you could be in trouble! A bit too far fetched for me!
When Nokia will make such phones like those for the year 2020, Sharp will make those devices for 2015 lol, Sharp is the most advanced mobile phone maker on Earth! Actually, I do not like this strange things. If you want to write guys, reply me plz.
