Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos augmented-reality maps[TED Video]
- dryicerx 17y agoThis is quite amazing... the mixing of maps, street view, augmented reality, geotagged imagery, in such a fluid interface is impressive. Hopefully this technology will spread all around (instead of focusing on a small area just being a proof-of-concept). I think the next step is seamlessly integrating this with mobile devices, so simply panning the mobile device would overlay other images, street view, videos and other goodness in real time. (kind of like google goggles, except in real time with much more fluid integration)
- elblanco 17y agoMicrosoft can innovate, and dare I say better than Google? Most of these things were brought on-line later than their Google equivalents. I hope that this kind of innovative process keeps bleeding throughout Microsoft. what's really interesting is seeing Blaise at a major product Architect level rather than being stuck in R&D
- TrevorBurnham 17y agoAbsolutely stunning. This is probably the most impressive TED talk I've seen. On the other hand, we also see some annoying telepresence issues even in this pre-planned demo run. (The speaker is embarrassed about not being able to get the camera to point where he wants it to go.) That makes me wonder whether it will ever be possible to make this technology smooth and frustration-free.
- yannis 17y agoCertainly one of the most impressive TED talks and one of the very few that the speaker got a standing ovation at the end.
