Augmented reality and self-driving automobiles.  Two great topics that really get Michael and Michael’s engines revving!  Staring off with the Mashable articles, one of which inspired the episode name with it’s similar name, the pair talk about ways for holographic projection can be used for augmented reality without glasses.  The first example is the Hydrogen phone by the high end video camera manufacturer Red, which projects the holographic image up from the phone.  A second example from the Future Interfaces Group at Carnegie Mellon University is an augmented reality projector that fits into a lightbulb socket and projects down from … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Episode 174 – iPhone Launch 2007 Revisited

A quick throwback episode to our co-host Michael Martine interviewing people at the launch of the iPhone back in 2007. At the time we were doing a general tech podcast called Dogear Nation based on tags in the social tagging site Dogear. Great to hear what the big ideas were in the minds of the people in line. Did you pick up your “Jesus phone” back then? Enjoy. http://media.blubrry.com/gamesatwork/op3.dev/e,pg=6e00562f-0386-5985-9c2c-26822923720d/gamesatwork.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/6-174-Episode-174-iPhone-Launch-2007-Revisted.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 9:31 — 11.1MB) | EmbedSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | Podcast Index | Youtube Music | RSS | More

Comments Off on Episode 173 – Babel Fish

Computer to computer communications protocols used to start with a high pitched whine & crackle over a telephone line, using a modem – a modulator / demodulator – to establish a handshake.  Computer to computer interactions are nothing new — but AI to AI interfaces are becoming more and more common.  We discussed some of the ramifications in earlier episodes of the podcast — links below for those — and now we turn to how artificial intelligences create optimized methods of communication between themselves.  Like the Twitch example of two Google Home bots talking with one another, the first few … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Episode 172 – Shining a light on AR

Michael and Michael are back — and take a long careful look at the newest capabilities that Apple is bringing to light in augmented reality with the new iOS 11 operating system.  Michael R has already downloaded the development framework, and has started bringing into mixed reality the digital test objects, to great effect.  The pictures included in this post are from Michael R’s experiments with the framework thus far, and it is quite amazing to see the fidelity of the objects, as well as the recognition by the software of the planes, shadows & angles of placement.  There much … Continue reading →
