Just a brief info blast as an addendum to my earlier post on Augmented Reality.
Bruce Sterling continues his obsession with AR (and other cool shit) in his Beyond The Beyond blog – you must read it – everyday.
Gary Hayes twittered a couple of good links yesterday – the first was an article in thewherebusiness.com which referenced Hayes’ own extensive post over at personalizemedia.com.
Hayes also posted a lot of cool videos to illustrate his points – here’s one of them:
The very near future is starting to look like a Harry Potter movie – on acid. You think I jest? Check this out.
The possible uses of AR is mind boggling – everything from education, art, entertainment, military, porn, medicine, research, and – yes – business. In his post Hayes is focusing on the potential business models which are likely to erupt from the widespread adoption of AR and even in that limited context he paints an extremely interesting image of what our world is going to look like.
Picture downtown Tokyo – all around you – all the time.
Its not all bleak though – as Sibylle Hermann points out there will be art.
How will our flabby monkey brains handle all this shit?
In my opinion the legalization of cannabis is no longer inevitable – it’s fucking essential.
Cheers.
It's going to be more of a personal news aggregator with a featured video blog from yours truly. We'll see how long that lasts. So bear with me - thanks.
