  • Google Glass just got a whole lot more useful for travel. The connected headset now has official apps for Foursquare, TripIt and OpenTable.
  • TripIt inserts its trip updates and information in the Google Now cards that already appear on Glass. Your flight status, departure time and gate will all appear on a single card
  • Open Table has its own command: "Okay Glass, make a reservation...." Once you speak those words, a selection of nearby restaurants will appear, ready for you to scroll through
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The current version of Google's Field Trip sends you notifications about surrounding points of interest, but the upgrade, released in April, lets you specifically ask what's nearby.
  • Word Lens completes the travel package. The app has been on Glass since last November, but its augmented-reality translation abilities are arguably perfectly suited for smart glasses. With Glass, all you need to do is look at a sign or menu, aim Glass' camera so the text you need translated is in an onscreen rectangle, and the words will change — from, say, Italian to English — before your eyes

    Google announced a new version of Google Glass. Glass Enterprise 2 is powered by the "Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 platform. The company says, "This enables significant power savings, enhanced performance, and support for computer vision and advanced machine-learning capabilities." Google VR/AR lead Clay Bavor has claimed ownership of Google Glass on Twitter, so now it seems the same group that brings you ARCore and Google Daydream VR goggles will be in charge of Google Glass.

  • Google Glass is a pre-production device made for developers. It has bugs, and it has problems, some of which are related to security.
  • Thus for the first time, this has provided malicious folks with the opportunity to gain access to your device through these machine-readable blobs of black and white blocks.
  • They could connect it to a Bluetooth device of their choosing and stream images from its camera to a remote display, all without the wearer’s knowledge.

  • these devices are so new, and have increasingly broader capabilities, it’s difficult to predict what forms those vulnerabilities will arrive in.

  • Non-intrusiveness aside, another reason why the idea of not having to wear special 3D movie glasses is so welcomed is because we want to see images in 3D with our naked eyes (or with our glasses or contacts) where we just don’t feel “artificial”.
  • we would naturally be more intrigued by otherworldly universes which we don’t encounter in our daily lives, and thus crave to experience them in their fullest glory (i.e. in 3D or 4D).
  • “Otherworldly” here applies to the many computer-animated, Sci-Fi and any other movies where their settings are not what you see every day (e.g. Titanic and Avatar

  • physiological arousal: eliciting moviegoers’ “fight or flight” responses. This is the same adrenaline rush we crave whenever we watch horror films to give ourselves a good scare.
  • Optimistically speaking, 4D films should have much more potential within and opportunities to exploit since they have the other four senses to pick and augment on

Theatrical Technology entertainment moviegoing content production talent Storytelling

shared by Maria Gurova on 01 Jun 16 - No Cached
  • The technology has changed but the basics of the job haven’t. It is still about storytelling, about juxtaposing images, about creating a feeling with images and music. Only the technical details have changed
  • I think there will be movie thea­ters in 1,000 years. People want the group experience, the sense of going out and participating in a film together
  • I think it will be standard in 4 years, not 40. We will have a glasses-free technology in five years at home and three years for laptops. The limiting factor is going to be content. You can’t rely on a few films a year for this. It is going to have to be 3-D broadcast sports, scripted television, non-scripted television and reality television

  • Hollywood is also the place for filmmakers who want to make movies for a global market. China and Russia make films for their own markets, but I don’t see the likelihood of those places replacing Hollywood

    James Cameron believes that despite of exciting new technology - making movie is and will always be about the story. also he is certain that going to watch a movie together is a shared group experience that audience will still be looking for in the future, no mater how advance the in-home technology will be

  • Designers Yitan Sun and Jianshi Wu want to make New York’s Central Park available to more people by digging down to the bedrock of the park. The idea is to create a 1000-feet tall, 100-feet deep mega structure that provides a total floor area of 7 square miles, which is about 80 times greater than the Empire State Building.
  • “The ambition is to reverse the traditional relationship between landscape and architecture, in a way that every occupiable space has direct connection to the nature,” – say the authors of the proposal that was awarded first place in eVolo’s annual skyscraper competition.

    It's anticipated that in 2021 the penetration of VR among US citizens will rise from 10.6% in 2018 to 17% from 10.6% , AR - from 18.2% to 25.4% respectively. Many industry practitioners believe that AR experiences will migrate from mobile devices to HMDs or glasses within the next five years, especially if major technical challenges-including battery life, continuous network connectivity, a viable app distribution system and cultural acceptability-can be overcome.
