I would like to go sailing, but don't because I get motion sickness easily (I can prevent it though by 1) keeping my eyes fixed on horizon and 2) taking dramamine). Do you think using techniques 1 and 2 I'll be able to manage symp

Just curious, how does a Gear VR setup (with galaxy 7) compare with Cardboard? Does /that/ count as a competitor?

Oooh, some are pretty cool. Here's a silly question: I'm just some random dude with zero experience or history of investing. When and how might I be able to invest in any of the startups listed in this page?

Okay... But to be fair there are valid uses of qr codes. In the last month I've used them for my vr giggles (easy method for registering your specific vr set with some certain vr software) and for going in concerts (qr code saved in iP

That's either a bad lie, or you don't understand how this works. As a small example: Science, Nature, and various other journals produce high quality videos (like this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv0aU2e

Moreover, the people conducting the research pay to the journals too. There's sort of an application fee for submitting your paper to a lot of big-name journals.

I agree with you that knowledge should be accessible to all. But, do realize that there most certainly is value being contributed by journals who are making you pay. For example, the editorial work, the typesetting, the selection, the whole

Yup, but I think there's a desire to get good 3d-reconstruction techniques for single images because in practice you often want to do reconstruction in extremely small environments where using multiple cameras is sometimes not feasible

With all due respect, that is a stupid reason. I don't have time to implement every last thing. And I don't require robust code all the time -- it's very understandable for the code to not be robust if it's being provide

Google Tango ( https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/ ) is able to do pretty impressive 3d reconstruction from what I hear. However it has a number of cameras, whilst linked technique can work with just one imag

I wish these groups would make their code available so others could play with it and test it out. Some do, but I wish more did. I would be curious to see the performance of this 3d depth reconstruction technique for non-rigid environments.

Just one note: it's possible to "recycle" 3d printed things. You could reduce them to "pellets", and turn the pellets into the PLA spools you started out on. See https://www.3dhubs.com/talk/thre

Okay, I have an even better challenge for you guys. Instead of minimizing it to least amount of lines/chars, you have to maximize the clarity of the code such that the rest of us laymen can understand it. GO!!!!
