I dont know if this is ever going to be useful but..... well made.

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

Gaw.. that was more silly than cool. :P I did like how some of the comments made it sound like the guy was a cyberstalker... another way to cyberstalk! YAY!! :)

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

not me ...
but would my children's children's children.....be using this kind of technology. :o Awesome it was!

ROFL @ comment

So I take it this smiley-centric UI design is a gentle indication that she's not able to type with the shades accessories.

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

I like it... This is what I want and have wanted for a long time. Though I would just want a single eye display that would clip to existing glasses. Would also want a camera to be able to then get information about vectors of things, usefull info etc. :)

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

The 3d objects layered ontop the view based on motion tracking, gps-coordinates and accelometer are missing.

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

hehe yeah, the comment was great :P
and imagine if SHE could type with her eyes...
strained eyes just to say "leave me alone you freak..." just try looking at your keyboard and doing that :P

they better come up with some revolutionary input method for those shades :P

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

Great... the next type of f***ing thing to do while driving.. divert your eyes to IM-smiley/type while driving!

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

or maybe a (RIP) smiley :P

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

LOL, the system has a macro to auto-broadcast the RIP smiley to all your contacts as soon as it detects your eyes goes super-wide and unnaturally dilated:

i think we will see this commercial within 10years... i mean, in about 8 years there will be nanotech Nokia Morph phones... :)

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

that's easy: wink the binary notation of each character. close left eye=0, close right eye=1; close both eyes=start/stop input.

(I'd prefer 7-bit ASCII for this, though, and not use any characters that would require Latin1 or even some unicode notation)

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

hehehe :P

BRILLIANT... I better patent this idea before someone else does :P

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

What's wrong with voice? :o

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

You guys saw the pic of me here, right?

(Third photo down.)

It's definitely not ready for prime-time yet, but it was pretty fun. The strangest part was watching it calibrate to my pupils on a big screen. Scary.

cool..how was watching video like? it sure is an exciting idea, although i think it won't be as much popular as the Nokia Morph phones.

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

The app I was able to demo was an image gallery. The scene was several "Polaroids" in 3D space. Moving my eyes left to right allowed me to pan across the 3D space. Concentrating on (or looking at) a photo for more than a second would bring the photo into view (i.e., zoom it into the viewer focus). If I looked down, I could zoom further into the photo's space). Looking up would zoom out. Looking left or right would scroll the other photos into view. Looking up for more than a second would zoom me back into the 3D space.

Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

Again, I hope this is not a duplicate post.

Re: Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

A bit misleading... that's not true augmented reality, that's an alternative UI. Augmented reality is usually an overlay or interaction with the things you see.

That was a demo of gestures, a method to show the UI via glasses and interaction therein.

Re: Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

this is what i would expect, pretty cool:

thats also probably the only reason i'd get an iphone lol..any chance this kind of app on the N900?

Re: Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

Yeah, that's why they didn't call it "augmented reality", so... I am not quite sure why they bothered blasting Nokia for it. heh.

Re: Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

No digital compass in N900, so not very possible.

Re: Nokia's Sad Augmented Reality
 

There is in Android so maybe...:)

Interesting. That video clearly shows that they'll be using the N97 form factor for Maemo devices in the future, long after Maemo has become the only operating system in use at Nokia...

EDIT: Or maybe she's an antique hound, who thought it would be cute, like having a rotary phone.

EDIT EDIT: How does he text her while rowing a boat? And what's the point of the fancy glasses if you have to take them off every time you want to do anything?

Re: Nokia mixed reality..... Awesome.
 

Oar gestures.

To look cool.

Sheesh, Qole.
