Part 9, Be Able To Use it anywhere, “I Could See My House From Here…”

“…And my car, and the park, and even my favorite eatery five blocks down the road. Just as we began abandoning the cords and cables of our equipment operating 24/7 and extending the battery life, so too does Magic Leap One will include a specialized form of portable power supply.

Or, it might not be the final design. But like Praying Mantis‎ — British Heavy Metal band, says “Time Tells No Lies”. Or Giriko Kutsuzawa if you prefer. And it also “tells”.

There were also some Immersion / Inspiration videos talked about in the PDF for reference. And they look good.

In that PDF file, we alluded to before, time and time again, this picture I snapped seems to be just one such a power supply. And this might be the one.

The Aeon Project — Immersion / Inspiration

What if you could travel to exotic, far-away destinations while being stuck in traffic? The Aeon Project explores the possibility of augmented reality inside transport vehicles. 1st Prize at Imagina Awards 2011 — “Best Design and Communication”

In this video called ‘The Aeon Project’ focuses on an automated mechanic wherein the driver of a mysterious alien-looking vehicle learns he can use light fields to take him to faraway places, in the sky, for example, whilst being stuck in a traffic jam. The driver can also decorate the side of the road with thousand-year-old artifacts and buildings (data archived by Google) Thanks, Google!

“Sight” — Immersion / Inspiration

This one here called “Sight”, explores the idea of humans having the ability to do all the types things that Magic Leap could allow us, but without the glasses. it’s a more ‘human’ experience with just eyes.

· Floating and mapped interfaces · Site recognition · Pupil tracking as a means of navigation · Navigation of content

The Ringo Holographic Interface is looking more and cooler each time I look at it. It is something that allows the user to task manage productively with a ring around them for a sort of display out in the sun and beyond

It also allows a sort of map function for navigation by pointing a ‘Green Arrow’ (hope you caught the cultural reference) toward your destination at where you physically mean to be heading.

It also allows you to text with a life-size keyboard, just reach out and press your hand. As well as play ‘Pong’ and ‘Air Hockey’ on the ground! Watch the video and see. Go on, watch all of them you know want to…

Here is the a page from Yanko Design that tells how 2D and 3D Objects / Displays get mapped to 2D surfaces of both real and virtual stature. It’s also used in site recognition as well as visualizing / manipulating virtual objects.

As far as 3D storage and navigation of user space goes, a good visual representation of grouping by subject and/or color arrangement via ‘organic’ navigation style — see video below for reference; goes pretty well.

3d storage/navigation space · Visual grouping by subject and/or color · Organic navigation style

Organization of 2D icons and content with the Magic Leap One really should be simple though. And with all this mess going on organizing it just became simple, If my theories are correct, then all we need to do is upload a file to the cloud, like scan a file with a fax machine or hard copy to get a digital imprint of your hard copies. Upload to the cloud afterward wherein the embedded media is safe and sound on your Magic Leap One.

But, wait! “There’s more!” Okay, now I know I just sound like a paid announcement of sorts. But still, does that say “The Future of Firefighting”?

From a mapped interface spreading across the hands, layered content, to constant and always available, easily accessible, on demand, and in the corner of the user’s FOV. Alerts may also popup icon-style, video below. This new-age fire-fighting system is just that: new-age.

Unfortunately, my dear readers, I could not find video on this last excerpt from our PDF, so I just left you a playlist abundant with the rest of the videos.

The ‘Radial Menu’ as it looks like it’s called, however appears to be an optional HUD interface with selectable items, scalable 3D virtual objects, as well as a floating 2D display.
