On the AR vs VR Debate

As I see the AR and VR markets growing, and different bigger vendors and venture capital goes into creating the evolution into this new (but as some see it, old) potential of changing what we see,

there is an importance of seeing past what people have thought AR and VR to be in the past. Particularly how currently, even if innovative in game-markets and consumerist markets, they are a bit caught up in just extending the current trends in mobile app style GUIs, and overlay / help interfaces, coloring of what is seen, outlining, and adding information in a 2D or 3D fashion, yet very rudimentary compared to where it could be going in the time ahead.

What if one could imagine AR as a filter, not an overlay engine but a filter of actual reality perceived?

 What is needed is the computing power to real time observe one's surroundings by depthmeasuring and camera technologies, sensor technologies, to construct a 3D model on the fly, which would require more than what current cellphones are capable of delivering of computing power, and also would need to far supersede today's somewhat quirky bulky big glasses, and frankly, even if many like it, many do not fancy walking around with their cellphone attached in front of their eyes, we need something far less intrusive for daily outdoor operation in AR space.

The real time 2much2process model which represent "reality" as perceived, would be as a surface, think today's HTML5 for web, tomorrow actual reality in it's full set of depth and color, material detection, heat detection, sensory inputs as wind, humidity, weather, every possible sensory input, it would be as a canvas that could be modified and / or extended in any thinkable way, to make it out throught the filtering and reconstruction into the wearers / users perception. Innovation on implants and other ways of programming the visual cortex directly are also going on, but there has to be a far greater detail of real time reconstruction for the real "magic" of AR and VR will be understood and seen, my 2 cents.

Key thoughts for innovation: Reality as a canvas, modification of reality (edit in/out), nontangible objects, hence easily disposable. You can add to that the potential of controlling possibility to sense, like limitation of movement of physical bodyparts, in a way to near a possible way of being able to actually touch virtual objects, too.

Just another idea rant from just another visionary.

Quiet Solar Powered Flight

A Potential For Flying Transport

Well, isn't it a dream come true if we could travel by air in a close-to silent and pleasantly comfortable vessel from A to B. I had some thoughts about using solar power and transforming this to drive anti-gravity, as in lower heights the air is dense enough to use transformation to hydrogen and heating could be done by solar power.

Researchers at MIT Newly discovered material that has properties of higher absorbing ratio for solar energy and, quote; "another key characteristic of the new material, Chou says, is that it is well matched to existing manufacturing technology", well it seems to be good news. Also possibly related research is the attempts of artificially nearing nature's photosynthesis due to its high potential compared to older solar panels of absorbing light from the sun.

As Quote: "Graphene developers edge towards new breakthroughs", "7 times lighter than air". I would say Graphene could potentially be used for/in such vessels, the lighter it is the easier to lift it from ground.

If combined panels or covering of surfaces or a set of surfaces were aimed and in-flight re-aimed towards the sun (or one could have storage need if sunlight wasn't present) one could imagine a gyroscope body with an inside automatically adjusting in a pleasant balance for passengers, while the outside received the solar energy and the underside was a combination of targeted solar energy to create heat, while transforming f.ex. water or other substance to hydrogen or other substance to create the lift from the ground, for now a rough idea that needs more brainstorming and sketch work.
