Comment on Second Life on your Mobile – Vollee by Kay http://eightbar.co.uk/2008/06/03/second-life-on-your-mobile-vollee/comment-page-1/#comment-245782 Mon, 23 May 2011 15:18:35 +0000 http://eightbar.co.uk/?p=484#comment-245782 Hi,

I’m currently doing an MSc in Information Systems and am researching Augmented Reality (and also Second Life).

I see from the article above that it is possible to access SL from a mobile device, and from http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=1087 that you can tag geographical locations with extra info. And for a few years mobile devices have been able to detect and communicate with each other. But has anyone has developed an app that combines all three, and is able to overlay a phone owner’s SL identity/avatar/info onto when viewed through another mobile phone?

If not, what would your response be to the idea? E.g. would it be fun to view a crowded conference hall through your mobile phone’s screen and discover that you are in the presence of lots of other SL inhabitants? Or would the bleeding of SL into RL be scary and/or potentially dangerous (e.g. stalker-type unpleasantness)?

I’d be really interested to hear anyone’s initial reaction to the idea.

Many thanks,

K Vincent

Comment on Parrot AR.Drone by JD Roberts http://eightbar.co.uk/2010/09/08/parrot-ar-drone/comment-page-1/#comment-245740 Tue, 17 May 2011 20:59:39 +0000 http://eightbar.co.uk/?p=1017#comment-245740 Thanks for the post — I’m surprised this Drone hasn’t become more popular. It certainly switched me from gas rc helicopters to electric quadricopters (at least for now). Maybe it’s the gotta-have-an-iphone (or ipad) part. But there’s now (finally) an easy to use Android app:

I’ve seen at least one game, which emulated those wooden tilting-board-and-marble toys you used to get with, obviously, the laptop being the board.

Plus this latest mess with the Penrose Triangle is really interesting.
