@nutbastard: Yup. If you do everything right, you have a virtual romantic evening with a hott e-lady-of-the-night. If you screw up, you get the same virtual romance holodeck experience except your virtual pee pee cannot get an e-rection, and you are virtually humiliated. And then when you try to explain it to her, she just laughs at you for telling a pair of glasses that you've just had too much wine. #ar
@NightInfinity: Yes, that was a concept video, but I'm very happy to hear that it's been put to real life application at last. I think this is one of the better immediate uses for AR tech.
As something like an engine is assembled in a relatively standard way, it should be easy for the software to recognize parts, and what it is looking at - I also think it would be pretty easy to slap a sticker with a glyph onto parts to ID them and give a little orientation data to a system like this if needed. #ar
Problem is that mechanics need their hands to be able to go in tight spots.
Hell, what happens when you slip trying to loosen/tighten something and break it? "Guess I'm not fixing this today!" . How about how easy it'll be to smuggle these to the enemy? lol! #ar
@CoHPhasor: They're written at an eight grade English level. How much easier can you get? Though you have a point, half the shit I used to have to fix on aircraft way never in a good place to stick your hands. You usually ended up doing it by feel, then using an inspection mirror to see if you did it right. That's the problem with engineers, they don't have to work on the stuff they draw up on paper. Yes, my aircraft was designed on paper, not computers..... #ar
The greatest thing about the Jedi story is that Tesco (the store in question) have really gotten into it, saying
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood."
and most tellingly
"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."
I personally can't wait to see if they have a "No Droids" rule.
I'm pretty sure ED is not a lifesaver. It's embarrassing for some guys.
Also, are there no females dying in combat? I'm not familiar with the intricacies of US Army gender rules. If they aren't, I applaud them in addition to just serving.
Seriously? The "International Church of Jediism"? I don't even know how to feel about this. Is he the only member? Does this 23 year old have a following? He probably founded this as a club so he can look cool on internet forums and to his online gaming "friends". Yep, no respect for this guy...
@Gators15: Jedi is the 4th largest religion in UK...
Nearly half a million people.
2nd largest religion in New Zealand and there's 4 Sith in Scotland which his a tad worrying.
I have the same username on virtually all sites, and the same password everywhere (except certain sites and sites that demand more than 6 characters). You know what my "special" password is for the 8 characters or longer is? My lastnamefirstname. Or an outdated candy. Isn't that lame? But idk anyone who would want my accounts, with the dumb crap I put on them I usually don't want them either.
One of my earliest memories was receiving a care package with a few toys for Christmas in a refugee camp. It came with a small red F1 hot wheels car and you can't believe how valuable and treasured that toy is to me. UNICEF and other humanitarian organizations always have a place in my heart because of it.
