Spaceglasses: Hacking Reality with Javascript
- aimhb 13y agoI really wish people would stop calling this language JavaScript. It's not. Its proper name is UnityScript, and it's more like Jscript.NET than anything else.
- rev087 13y agoI usually don't mind that much when the wrong terminology and naming is used, but this specific case was a disservice for me. I was very confused to see the syntaxe he used, yet calling it JavaScript; I thought they used a modified JS syntaxe, possibly pre-compiling it to the C# equivalent.
- pfraze 13y agoDoes this headset actually deliver? Anybody here try it?
- michaelbuckbee 13y agoI submitted it - so I'm biased - but I've actually tried it, it's pretty crazy how it does the mapping over your body (even things like just tracking your gestures).
- grannyg00se 13y agoWould it work well as a complete desktop monitor replacement? How well does it render 18pt text from a HD resolution HDMI source?
- michaelbuckbee 13y agoNot well enough that I'd throw away my monitor, but it's also a gestural control system, etc. so it' not a perfect comparison.
- grannyg00se 13y agoOkay, thanks. I'm really looking to throw away my monitor moreso than all the AR stuff.
- pchristensen 13y agoHaven't used it, but Steve Mann (http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/profiles/steve-mann-my-augmediated-life http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/profiles/steve-mann-my-au...) is their advisor and the founder is one of his former students. "But Google Glass is much less ambitious than the computer-mediated vision systems I constructed decades ago." "I worry that Google and certain other companies are neglecting some important lessons. Their design decisions could make it hard for many folks to use these systems. Worse, poorly configured products might even damage some people’s eyesight and set the movement back years." Lots more meaty detail on computer glasses in that link.
