Top 30 Failed Technology Predictions (Science Talk Post)

rasch187 says...

5. “To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth – all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.
— Lee DeForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, in 1926

Spoken like a true visionary. This was *quality stuff.

19. “I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.” — HG Wells, British novelist, in 1901.

Jealous of Jules Verne much? (who in my opinion is a much better writer...and was very ahead of his time in predicting numerous of technological advancements)

Photo-Realistic Virtual World Rendered LIVE server-side

spoco2 says...

And just because I like having people in the industry back up what I've been saying we have here. Then if you watch Jules (the guy behind OTOY), doing a demo of OTOY, LISTEN to the bandwidth requirements "If you have a 6Mb connection we can go to full HD and render that"... OK, so... um... ok, so they're going to stream 6Mb of data to every client connected? So just 1000 people connected... JUST 1,000 clients and you're talking 6Gb of bandwidth required out of that host... 6 GIGAbits for god's sake. This DOES NOT SCALE.

And this is more logical than the tiny amounts of bandwidth required for users today to play their online games in full HD using local rendering.

OOOOKKKKK.

That demo shows more of where they currently are, but what does it show? A SMALL little area, with a few buildings and two 3D models running in a SMALL window on the monitor using a HUGE bandwidth internet connection. That's running using 3 7700 video cards on their servers... HOW IS THIS GOING TO SCALE?

Yes this has some uses for specific uses in movie production or the like where you want to show ONE or TWO people some 3D models on the computers where you have bandwidth dribbling out of your bum. But in the REAL world, with REAL numbers of people connecting to a 3D world. YEAH. RIGHT. I mean, just watch that and see how little he can do with it, he has a TINY world where he can change the lighting (and how many times does he do that), move around in the tiny world and make the optimus do its animation routine. So, OTOY exists indeed, and it can do basically what they say it can do, but on a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH smaller scale than is implied in the video

(It does show though that they really do have that guy on staff, or bought those 3D models/animations from him (seeing as they are in his 'personal' section of his website he did them for himself).

Also, I got the OTOY demo running on IE 7 on XP, and indeed, it's exactly as expected, in that it's NOT doing the rendering server side at all, but rendering in browser CLIENT SIDE (You can watch your bandwidth usage doing NOTHING while you're using it). And it's a demo with quite limited area, low resolution window, low resolution textures, pre rendered shadows etc. (NOT realtime)... this is basically just an in browser 3D plugin, of which there are already plenty around, and ones that do a damn site better job than this. "cinematic quality 3D rendering" my arse.


Am I a little obsessed by this? A bit... I hate stuff like this being thrown out there as truth and people eating it up as fact and getting all pant wetty about their puny Pentium 4 machines being able to play games that look like they were rendered on the top of the line machine.

Well, yes, you could, if you have 6Mb of bandwidth to spare, and are the only person connected to the servers, and you're happy playing in a world the size of a football field... then yeah... go for it, enjoy your game.

This is aimed at the movie industry (which seeing as they seem to have ties with ILM and other such things, and have a thing called Lightstage for capturing objects in 3D), and it surely has applications there, but for it to scale to the number of people who play online games, well... it's madness.
