There are haptic capabilities to give some feedback... and the software can place the whiteboard where there is a physical wall for you to press against if you wanted it to, it doesn't have to be "writing in air".

It doesn't have to be "as good as there" to be significantly useful, especially if you're not there just to talk.

AR is really only useful when the object or information you're visualising is smaller than the room you're currently in. That includes a lot of things and works for a lot of situations but most of the world doesn't fit insid

So the accounting practices that MSFT got in trouble for (as I recall, pulling and pushing sales into different quarters to smooth growth and suit projections) was the stock price taking care of itself?

We are implementing a similar concept using VR. To us http://stirlinglabs.com the choice between AR & VR is simply if the object of the discussion fits into the room or not. For our customers creating massive structures such

I don’t recall the specific numbers anymore but the amount of metal that Apple machines, transports and sells each year is similar to a smaller car company. Why should those pieces of metal only be small?

As I understand, fan boost allows the selected car to use more energy for a small amount of time. However, it doesn’t increase the amount of energy the car has available. The driver will still need to account for that somewhere else in that

Like many here, I appreciate the design and feel of the product. It looks like you're experimenting with a desktop app (although you don't mention which platforms) is there any work on mobile apps? I couldn't find any mentio

You can wash clothes while you're not there. It's even possible to schedule the washing so that it's done near the end of the light cycle so they don't sit in the machine for long after they are clean.

You seem to be conflating the choice; really, it's a choice of adding Google to the list of MITM or not. This system can't remove your mobile carrier from the circuit or stop them playing with your data.

Anonymous but verifiable/auditable online voting is a very hard problem that does not seem to be solved yet. How do you ensure that the remote voter gets one and only one vote while also being able to audit that the intended vote was
