Google’s Project Glass puts augmented reality into sight

Google X offices, a secret lab that works on futuristic projects such as robots and space elevators, has revealed more details on its augmented reality glasses that we reported on back in February. Despite earlier reports that Google would be selling the glasses by year's end, however, Google has indicated that's unlikely, says Wired.com, which got a preview of the prototype. The concept product, called Project Glass, is worn on the face like glasses, but instead of full lenses just one tiny smart phone screen hangs right above the wearer's eye. Think of a tiny teleprompter. An audio command link and microphone allow the user to communicate with the phone virtually hands-free. Writes Wired's Steven Levy: Larry Page and Sergey Brin have long had the dream of a hands-free, mobile Google, where search was a seamless process as you moved around the world.

An Illustrated Guide To The 5 Levels Of Inception

You can see our attempt to explain what’s going on the movie here but before you can even begin to guess at director Christopher Nolan’s intentions or what happens after the movie’s mind-blowing final sequence, you’ll need a clear idea of all the levels of Inception. With that in mind, we’ve put together a helpful visual aid. Here it is, an illustrated guide to the five levels of Inception: SPOILER WARNING: What follows should only be viewed by people who have already seen Inception. It contains heavy, critical spoilers which will impact your viewing of the film. Blended From Around The Web Comments. STRANGE DAYS - Trailer ( 1995 ) Davies, Charlotte: Osmose. Charlotte Davies«Osmose» If in virtual environments during the first years of Virtual Art one often witnessed the use of gateways that caused abrupt crossovers, what one experiences in the image spaces of «Osmose» are osmotic crossovers from one sphere of images to the next, always aware of how an old sphere deteriorates and then amalgamates with a newer one.

Davies, Charlotte: Osmose

This, of course, entails calculating both image spaces at exactly the same time. [...] Two worlds of text parenthetically accompany this simulacrum of nature: on the one side, the 20,000 lines of the programming code that produces the work, which in the artificial world arranges itself to an enormous column awaiting inspection. On the other side, there is a room filled with fragments of texts, focussed on expressions that appear in the study of nature, technology and the body. ‎citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.33.4920&rep=rep1&type=pdf.
