I'm guessing some form of augmented reality, a camera in the headset is projected inside it, with digital additions.
If not, this is even more dangerously moronic than I first thought and she needs prison time too.

Not bad, but I wish it was an augmented reality thing, allowing taggers and graffiti artists to digitally tag in real places that could be seen only by those using the app. THAT would be awesome, and might keep some people from painting places they shouldn't.

Totally agree with power ups. It should be doable with augmented reality in a way that's not possible with other sports.

Maybe fly at 75% power unless you hit a boost. Pick up offensive power ups you can target at other racers to reduce their power momentarily or send them into a 3 second hover mode.

Cell phones are a tool, nothing more or less. They can be useful (up to and including saving lives) or you can use them like an inconsiderate knob-end (up to and including killing someone).

I don't think glass in it's current form will catch on, it just looks too stupid. But the basic idea (i.e. a HUD with augmented reality)... IMO that's almost certain to become ubiquitous. Unintrusive access to data is just too useful not to.

As for the recording light, I place zero faith in it. Short of building it into a tamper proof case with sealed software, it's just too trivially easy to disable.

Again, I'm with you in that I find the implications troubling. But I think we might be the last generation to find it so. None of my friends kids has any concept of a division between private and public lives. They've all grown up with social media of one form or another, and it simply doesn't occur to them not to share everything online.

Never get enough laughs from Karl. I agree we already have 3 in Augmented Reality, though not quite to that extent.

Loved him and Ricky in Derek.

#3 is Augmented Reality. They're doing it now, why's Ricky saying it's bollocks?

Yo, duder! So, I made a video that I think the video-game-playing members of the sift would enjoy, but I'm aware of the rule that we're not supposed to share stuff we had any involvement in. But I also recall the rule saying that exceptions were occasionally made.

Would it be possible to get such an exception for this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oKH3fSU0c It's basically the progress of video game graphics over time, starting from pong and going until modern day graphics and augmented reality.

Alternatively, perhaps another sifter would post it, like Ant or whoever else has an interest in gaming. I figured I'd ask you first since you're IN DEEP with the sift.

Thanks!

would be a good promo for a LEGO augmented reality (AR) game.

Only way augmented reality would be useful to most is if it was absorbed via a neural interface or while sleeping. So you can absorb/learn it and use it in decisions. These might be useful for step by steps, directions, but I just can't see you learning by having all this various shit being thrown at you. Just look at people with GPS, most of them never learn how to get anywhere because they rely on the device.....those glasses would end up being the personality.

Yo, play Ingress with me. It's an augmented reality game with two factions fighting over actual points of interest in reality: Post offices, fire departments, police stations, parks, college campuses, jamba fuckin juices.

Each location is a portal that you fight over and DESTROY for your factions. I am in the Orange County Resistance. If they want to stop us from playing, then they're going to have to stamp out all of our freedoms.

Fight the power peacefully and practice war in augmented reality!

@poolcleaner me: Garden Grove, Stanton, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Costa Mesa. Civil Disobedience in the form of gaming.

I want this on while I'm having sex. Augment reality so my wife is... well, whoever I want her to be. This means you don't even need to factor looks into a marriage. Just always live in augmented reality. Like, "Hey babe, you can be a feminist now and not wear make up or ever do your hair again! Just let me wear this ALLLLLL the time." Sorry... I'm ahead of myself and technology. And my wife.
