I found it.(Updated)



This guy(Ralph OsterHout) is way ahead of me. He is actually making these things right now.

Wow!

So after posting this I felt obligated to take part of something like this in the future. So after some thinking I've decided to apply for my second year at a 3D Animation Film school(again). I've been through it once before, but as a webstudent. Being very demotivated and lacking in creativity, I failed that class the first time around. And after, I felt as if, that was it. I was done. But I see now that it was an error, and now I'm going to correct it before it becomes a mistake I will regret later in life.

I am convinced that this is the future of technology and most media presentation. It might even replace many of the things we take for granted today, like television, computers, cellphones and tablets. It might also bring new genres of media.

No more square television set in one corner of every room in the house, either it's a television or computer(or glass touchscreen surfaces that are coming soon). This can eliminate the need for most of that hardware collecting dust around the house, offices in the workplace etc, which I explained in one of my earlier posts.

Anyway, you should watch the video in it's entirety because he explains everything so well that it's no reason for me to go more into it. These people showing this kind of technology is what inspired me to make this blog. I've never been more excited about the future.

Here is a shorter clip where Osterhout explains the future of augmented reality, and how it will work.

If anyone are interested in these things, then come back to this blog, follow it if you want. I will be making blogposts more often now as I will start my own projects and experiments on augmented reality and general creativity.

On a personal note, I've lost some pounds, currently at 91kg, which is most probably the result of my new job where I move about more than the last too many years combined. I sell electronics and gadgets on Capi-Lux Electronics on Oslo Airport. We sell just about everything from photo/video cameras, headphones, speakers, computers, cell-phones, tablets and the like for travelers coming in to and leaving Norway. I really enjoy it there and my co-workers are pretty darn awesome. Maybe I'll end up selling Osterhout's glasses there one day?

Here's an awesome video about motivation to end today's blogpost.

When Google becomes your eyes.

We've all thought about it. We've debated it. We have proved it to a certain extent... Is Google watching you? But that's not the question I'm asking today. Right now we are in a singularity of technological advancements that will inevitably shift paradigms, achieve the impossible and ultimately redefine reality itself. We currently live in a world where the word magic will literally become a relevant concept. How else are you going to explain to your kids how all these gadgets work? If I were to quote Joe Rogan: "Does anybody really know how any of this shit works?" , would you have an answer to that question? If your five year old asked that question could you really explain to him or her how a processor works? How they can talk to their grandparents on the other side of the country with no visible wires? Or would you sum it up into one neat word that you know they will understand. "Magic." I'm not underestimating children's growi

I Needed A Place To Think

If you are a creative person and find yourself in the position that you are not able to create the things that you want, either because how your life is going right now or perhaps your energy is spent most days at an eight hour shift at a job that does not contribute to the things you want to do, you will find a place that will. But sometimes the couch where you often fall asleep to wake up to go right back to work just isn't enough. So today I decided I needed to think. Though I am left alone most of the time and have everything I need to be productive in my work, my home office filled with half worked projects and unfulfilled ideas just doesn't inspire me. There are simply too many distractions in the mess I surround myself with. So I went here. Though I was still in my office, I had transported myself through space and time to the closest survivable distance of a far off star not much unlike our own sun. I was of course wearing the Oculus Rift Devkit 2 in order to make

I Found My Canvas - The Oculus Rift

About two weeks ago, on my way home from a particularly hard day at work, I found out a package had arrived for me. My chest was tingling. I was finally about to experience something that so far, not many people had. Time seemed to slow down in the car on the way home. Thoughts were racing. I could feel an excitement I hadn't felt since childhood. Rewind back to March 23rd. I had just received my paycheck. I thought for a few moments holding my credit card in my hand, telling myself: "Come on. Don't wait. This is it. You know it is." Subsequently, I made the best financial decision of my entire life. I entered my credit card number and I was soon to be one of the few lucky owners of an Oculus Rift Development Kit 2. The following day, the big breaking news online was: "FACEBOOK AQUIRES OCULUS VR". As many I was not entirely sure what it meant and many questions arose. Would I get my Oculus Rift? Is it going to be delayed? Cancelled? What are facebook
