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)
TRUE SKIN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoj4Qv7nrN8#ws)
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.
A Futuristic Short Film HD: by Sight Systems (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK_cdkpazjI#ws)
I'm torn between excitement and abject terror! :o 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 (http://www.datahopa.co.uk/forum/new-technology-science-etc/vsauce/msg12521/#msg12521) 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 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/mar/07/ipad-3-touch-senseg-haptic). Senseg (http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/2/2605173/senseg-tactile-display-technology-tablet-demo-video).
I should've named this thread short movies.
Found this one...
Portal: No Escape (Live Action Short Film by Dan Trachtenberg) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4drucg1A6Xk#ws)
Now THAT was fascinating, Snowy! Thanks for sharing it. :thumbsup:
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 :D
1) get to clients boat in no time flat
2) evasion of mother in-law :Head-Slap: did I say that :o
3) take the dog out to duty area, okay now I'm sounding lazy :P
any one got any uses?
Shorter trips to the loo, perhaps? :D
Ok, NOW who's lazy? :rofl:
[kicks self] for not thinking of that one. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
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 :P
here is a gag use [spoiler]beem someones vomit atop of someones head[/spoiler] as dave would put it ~insert evil laugh~ :good-bad:
