Having played with one of Microvision’s earlier HUD prototypes, I’m really hoping they do get to the point where they’re commoditised tech. Even at 800×600 in single colour, it was a joy to use – even on my weak eye (+6.0 prescription), I just needed to move a focus knob and the image was crystal clear.

Still, the medium is not the message. We still need to find good ways of interacting with virtual content – and in the end, usability will play a big role in the form factor of the devices and interfaces we develop. What we can do influences what we think we should be able to do, and vice-versa.

…why does Maptor have the same theme music as the Fleshlight?”

Because, as the guy who introduces Bruce says, they’re into “Cyberspunk.”

I was entranced at Gibson’s take on AR in Spook Country. Add clatter to that? Pure nifty. Until the ad agencies get ahold of the tech and you find yourself playing whack-a-mole with AR popup ads on your lens.

The moral? Advertising sucks.
