Forgot to mention that CtrlAltStudio Viewer has improved by adding UI to the DK2 version – Inara reporting http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/09/05/ctrlaltstudio-adds-basic-ui-elements-for-the-dk2/
Possibly your best interview yet. I am left with a desire to meet with Jackie myself.
Thank you so much! The interview leaves me with the desire to watch “Virtuosity” again = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEDdaStz4kw
“I can see people using this [VR] for shopping, and that means that housewives will want a very accurate avatar of themselves…”
Possible, but actually fast becoming unnecessary thanks to Augmented Reality. There are already AR systems available which, for example, will take a real-time video of your head and then project onto that video various styles of glasses / sunglasses frames, so you can see what they look like on your face, how they look as you more your head, etc., and get a feel for them, just by logging-in to what is otherwise a conventional website.
Other work in AR is presenting similar capabilities to “try on” clothing in much the same way, either at home or – for those who like the experience of “traditional” shopping in malls via the “augmented reality mirror”.
Of course, there’s also the work of cosmetics companies to provide (admittedly in-store only at this time) AR technologies for trying cosmetics – although Panasonic recently inveiled the home “augmented reality mirror” concept, which does the same thing for you at home.
Hence why VR is only one side of the coming evolution in the way we live and work with technology.
OMG I just found Virtuosity in POLISH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NULSoWCiTIQ
