I’ve been hearing a lot about this new fad called “augmented reality” and I was just thinking to myself: “are we onto something really awsome or is this “geeks only” territory?”.
At first glance it looks cool. Augmented reality (stupid name) is supposed to put you in a virtual world with holograms. like the star wars’ princess leia hologram. but we’re far from it.
lego is doing something exciting which let’s kids put a new lego box up to a digital camera and see a 3d model of the toy inside
And Fanta wants us to play tennis with our cellphones as if they were mini wii’s.
Which seems kinda dumb coz we know we’d never really use “augmented reality” that way.
I think lego is on the right track, since it would really be cool to see what’s in the box before we buy it, but i can think of even better ways to use it.
Remember all those dates you went on because you thought her picture on the dating site was cute only to be really really dissapointed? Well think of all the angst you could have spared yourself if you had a hologram of her.
now that’s useful! Not playing tennis in the street instead of the comfort of your funky living room.
We’ve been coming up with some cool ideas for augmented reality, like the dating hologram i mentioned, a 3d auto website and more.
how about sharing some of yours? let’s see if we can up with something that will make people go “dammmmmnnn!”
A few days ago a friend of mine handed me a copy of x-men origins: wolverine. you know the one that leaked to the web a few weeks back. usually i turn down these offers coz hey – i like movies. i like watching them on the big screen, so why go for second best. but i’m also a die-hard comics fan and well… the temptation was just too great. i slipped it into the dvd player and you know what? i was so dissapointed. not at the movie, but at the quality. no sound effects, no big bangs, no visually stunning special effects. and what was frustrating is you could tell that there’s a cool movie there. 10 minutes later i pressed stop, called up my bros (yes, at 37 we still love comics) and bought tickets to see it on saturday.
hell i’ll wait another day and pay up the few bucks, but at least i won’t feel like i was getting played
Cool Ad From Nike. Although I think that a race between the sexes isn’t really what will bring us out running. just knowing all these hot girls are out there in the streets is enough.
ok seriously. Jennifer Aniston is probably the hottest woman on the planet. i’ve been her devoted fan since her rachel days but come on… anybody really expect us to believe that at 40 this cougar hasn’t been touch by the magic photoshop brush???
this is not the guy ritchie we know and love from and “snatch” and “lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels”, but i can tell that the divorce from maddona brought back the destructive creative side of our favorite britsh director.
the plot according to IMDB “In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting some of the city’s scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick. While the city’s seasoned criminals vie for the cash, an unexpected player — a drugged out rock ‘n’ roller presumed to be dead but very much alive — has a multi-million dollar prize fall into his hands”.
all true but the plot is really just secondary to the moviegoing experience which is based on what made guy ritchie so famous: sex, drugs, rocknroll, violence, whacked out characters and cockney accents.
my advise: wait for the movie to come out on DVD, light up, leave your expectations behind and enjoy the ride.
