so behold, because today: the man behind black dragon!

While the Magic Leap video has been post-processed by Weta Workshop, who, incidentally, were one of the original investors of the tech through Richard Taylor, during the original $50 million funding round which may have caught Google’s eye and encouraged them to invest in the 2nd round (along with others such as Legendary Pictures) ….
…. Here’s an example of what already could be achieved in terms of AR overlays (albeit using mobile phones rather than a headset) by a company Oculus VR acquired at the end of 2014:
ML’s headset as well, looks like it may well be a lightweight system, if the patents filed by the guys now developing for them are anything to go by – see here:

I covered some of this last year, following the lead of Tom Simonite of MIT Technology Review (see:http://www.technologyreview.com/news/532001/how-magic-leaps-augmented-reality-works/) and Sean Hollister of Gizmodo (see: http://www.gizmodo.com/).
My piece (if I might toot my own horn with a link: https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/11/24/magic-leap-bringing-augmented-reality-to-film-in-2015/#more-45286) also covers news that the first film featuring Magic Leap technology should be debuting here in the UK this coming July (which I do know you’ve previously mentioned in passing 🙂 ). This is more documentary style than movie action / adventure, but should still be interesting, if it holds up to the initial promise.
thx Inara, very interesting that Rescape video, we had not seen it! Join us on the show sometime and you can toot your own horn LIVE to tape hihihi 🙂 = we did mention “Age of Starlight” today & the post has a link. Excited to see if Magic Leap can hold up to the [self produced mainly] hype!!!
Great interview with Niran. His viewer has come a long way… I checked it out again about a month ago and was so impressed I’ve switched it for all my second life images.
Love this viewer!
The Best!
Reblogged this on Jo Yardley's Second Life and commented:
New Drax Files Radio Hour episode!
Jo must be a fan of Sauron or Saruman! I’ll give her boring!
I’ve long argued that premium membership should have options, such as mobile phone packages have.
So don’t go SL Go premium for all, trade it for a Linden Home, 512 tier or the stipend, give people the choice of a premium package that meets their needs.
SL free, SL premium and THEN = SL GO PRO ! ! !
I think in the new SL2 they should require Premium for owning land or selling on marketplace. I wouldn’t mind paying 10 USD per month for that. How about a SL Silver, Gold and Platinum membership. The most expensive would include SL Go and maybe access to beta tests for new features. That way land could be cheaper.
Good Arguments. Great ideas for modulating land costs. Although Ebbe insisted it will NOT be SL2
