I've personally experienced this decoupling of vision and second sight. When I've had bad migraines in the past, I typically experience scintillating scotoma, which isn't that unusual. But the odd thing is: even though I can

Agile methodologies can work, but it often requires a feature-centric deployment model, not deadline-centric. Having a fixed N-week deployment cycle can't simply be applied to all products and expect it to work. I've found that an

Articles like this are great. They demonstrate the thought process behind the design and really conveys how much goes into it.

Wait a second... this looks almost identical to http://x.ai which has been around for a while.

This is an interesting concept. But I can't help but think it looks like it's focused on UI design interaction, and not necessarily full app design. What provisions are in place for persistent storage, push notifications, or acces

I've also had success searching for the exact URL in Google. It usually appears as the first link and you can bypass the paywall.

Amazing! You can actually see the laser pulse bouncing off of the material!

Agreed. My first reaction to seeing this site was, "why on earth would I want this over something like Nest Protect?". Then I realized it's a stopgap provision for people who don't want to replace all their smoke detecto

If you're itching for VR, you can order an Oculus Rift dev kit right now ( https://www.oculusvr.com/order/ ). The consumer version with significant improvements should be available in about a year.

Thanks for the tip! But this allows you to move your perspective outside of the rail system, but doesn't change the fact that you only have images established on the rail system itself.

It's my understanding that you can't use them simultaneously. You have to choose one of the types: spin, panorama, walk, or wall. ( http://photosynth.net/preview/about ) In the previous version, random pictures

Excellent point. It seems to have lost functionality over the previous implementation (see my other post).

Also very impressed here. However, it appears to have a huge limitation over the previous implementation: You can only move in a linear fashion though the scene. Gone is the ability to jump around in a 3D environment. At least from the firs

To be honest, at first I saw this post and thought, "how is a simple post of the Geneva drive mechanism news?". But after reading some of the followup and various links, I've definitley changed my opinion. Some amazing mechan

In orbit 1/4 the distance to the moon? Wow! I didn't realize we put satellites into orbit at that height.

The Razer Hydra is a great game controller for the Oculus Rift. An outstanding example of its usage can be seen in "The Gallery: Six Elements", which is currently under development and will take full advantage of the Rift used in

Great idea. But for the love of everything sacred, they should replace their wall-o-text website with something a little easier to read. I suspect it's hurting their cause.

So... you're wealthy enough to own a house that requires 10 thermostats, but don't want a premium system to control it? :-)
