I want to live in this brave new world. There's bits of at least 3 movies/books in here. (blade runner, total recall, neuromancer)

I really like the look of this, you are right though, not sure if we have seen this all before, still looks like a good bit of escapism. Any idea on a release date ?. 

It's just a net short movie.

Found another one I liked.

I'm torn between excitement and abject terror! On the one hand, the whole, "simulated Jedi mind powers" might be cool, but the devices would open a rather wide door to addiction that would be VERY hard to close again.

Check out the Vsauce2 vid for where they're actually at with contact lenses.

But I think, one way or another, we are going to see wearable/embeded computers in the next few years. It'll take more like 20 to get to this sort, I rekon.

I'm hotly awaiting the next gen of touchscreens. The main thing I dislike about them is you are touching a flat piece of glass. There is some interesting tech but no on sale product as yet. iPad. Senseg.

I should've named this thread short movies.

Found this one...

Now THAT was fascinating, Snowy! Thanks for sharing it.

Nice, based on the game obviously which sort of appealed to me - this makes nice use of the idea

I can think of a few handy situations for one of those portal guns
1) get to clients boat in no time flat
2) evasion of mother in-law  did I say that 
3) take the dog out to duty area, okay now I'm sounding lazy 

any one  got any uses?

Shorter trips to the loo, perhaps?

Ok, NOW who's lazy?

[kicks self] for not thinking of that one. 
seeing that it snowed this morning and I spent 3.5 hours shoveling, I thought of another one.
beem me to the snow pile
I know it is not as good as your though Dave, but useful

here is a gag use [spoiler]beem someones vomit atop of someones head[/spoiler] as dave would put it ~insert evil laugh~ 

Watched a few but only liked this one.



And re-named the thread

And there's more...

Check out their channel on Vimeo. Found it due to the Stardust vid.
This is a weird short...

I liked this one. Pixels.
