Extension Robotics — the next augmented reality

30 de mayo de 2011 por ril.es

Robots seemed to be popping up left and right in articles, so I started wondering if we were entering the Age of Robots. I looked around, and I thought “maybe not.” Certainly, the general-purpose autonomous robot has not entered my life. Apparently, we are closing in on four million domestic robots, but I’ve never actually run across one in use. An additional million are at work in factories, well out of view. (For a reason – even in their limited environments, these machines can be dangerous. Even without invoking science fiction scenarios, accidents happen. In fact, the first death-by-robot occurred 30 years ago!)

Grand Illusions: Sharing Augmented Reality

When I watch a movie on TV, I always have my laptop at hand. If things get slow or if I’ve seen the movie before, I surf to get details on facts (especially if it’s historical), writers, directors and actors. This sort of enhanced and enriched experience has taken off for many people who compulsively surf during conversations, shopping trips and vacations. Getting the details can be useful, fun and addictive.
